space. Director Yoon Seok-hos stunning cinematography is the perfect

This is a true political drama based on the politicians of the Joseon

Instead of showing the already prepared king like most historical
dramas, it focuses on the hard work and efforts he invested to find his
own political ideals and lead a kingdom. Although he was a prince, he
was not an heir to the throne. Thus his interest in politics was the same
as becoming a rebel.
But it was not power that he wanted. He only wished to work and
bring people peace and prosperity. King Sejong was decisive and
courageous, and through viewing his acts, the passive people of the
world today will have another chance to look into themselves in their
modern lives.
