Chronicle of a Blood Merchant

There's nothing I won't do to support my family!

A post-war family drama that traces a man's devotion through sacrifice and hardship, only to face the corrosive effects of doubt and rumor on love and belonging.

Set in a village right after the Korean War, poor but good-hearted Heo Sam-gwan sets out to win the most beautiful girl in the village, Heo Ok-ran, by selling his blood to earn money. Years later, the two are happily married with three children, but their family undergoes a crisis when Sam-gwan's eldest son doesn't resemble him and rumors spread about the boy's paternity.
