The King's Warden
1457 Joseon, a story untold by history.
Directed by Chang Hang-jun
Produced by BA Entertainment, Onda Works
A historical drama centered on an unlikely bond between a humble village headman and an exiled boy-king, exploring themes of duty, loss, and the weight of hidden identity in a dangerous political landscape.
In a remote mountain village of 15th-century Joseon, humble headman Heung-do hears a rumor that any village hosting an exiled nobleman will be blessed with abundance and fortune. Hoping to bring prosperity to his impoverished community, he eagerly submits a petition to host one—unaware that his guest is none other than the fallen monarch, deposed boy-king Danjong.
