It dramatically depicts the 8th king of Goryeo, Hyeonjong, who brings peace to Goryeo after overcoming numerous hardships, and his political mentor and military commander, General Kang Gam-chan, as they confront the Khitan invasion. The young emperor Hyeonjong is played by Kim Dong-jun, who debuted as a member of ZE:A and is now active as an actor. Alongside Choi Soo-jung as General Kang Gam-chan, familiar faces from Korean historical dramas like Lee Jae-yong and Lee Won-jong also appear.
