Director Chang Hang-jun tells the story of the King Danjong not from the documented or indeed known point of view but from seeking out and discovering about the King from historians and then filling in the blanks, so to speak.  The story brings you closer to the human interaction and development of characters as two very different worlds collide but at the same time also brings a sense of warmth and heart felt meaning to both the humble headman and the King.  A freindship that grows on you, and as a viewer, you actually feel part of. The story is anchored with a fantastic perfromnce by Park Ji-hoon as the King and it needed to have a strong character actor to play alongside him and Yoo Hai-jin was cast brillinatly as the humble village headman who befreinds the king.
