How it feels

Set after the Japanese attack on Joseon in the late 16th century, a magistrate named Bak Seong-dal conspires with a Japanese spy and murders two political rivals. Ten years later, the sons and daughters of the victims grow up and train to seek revenge against him. The two children, who were once betrothed, join forces to confront their enemy.
