대왕세종
HD
•Production year 2008 •60min. X 80eps.
A true political drama based on the politicians of the Joseon Dynasty, and the
clash of their beliefs and passion
This is a true political drama based on the politicians of the Joseon Dynasty, and the
clash of their beliefs and passion. The typical historical‘Palace Dramas’usually
portrayed the royal palace as a place of conspiracy, affairs and betrayals. But‘The
Great King Sejong’portrays the Joseon capital as the heart and center of living
politics. It draws out the many differences in political ideals and the wisdom of
finding the reality and solution to the differences. Thus,‘The Great King Sejong’
marks a new era in political dramas.
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.

father’s death.

barely escaped from death and met a group of thieves, later to become their leader.
Now he is hiding his identity and acting as the robbers of justice. He robs the
corrupted rich and then gives those goods to the poor. Hiding his inner pain, Lee
Chang-hwi was out to make a revenge on the evil and corrupt officials with his
sword. He came across Lee Nok and Hong Gil-dong and became comrades. As time

The six martyred ministers were six ministers of the Joseon Dynasty who were
executed in 1456. They were executed by King Sejo on the charge of plotting to
return Danjong to the throne.
The Six were Seong Sam-mun, Pak Paeng-nyeon, Ha Wi-ji, Yi Gae, Yu Eung-bu, and
Yu Seong-won. Most were members of the Hall of Worthies, a high council of state,
who had been appointed by King Sejong. King Munjong had charged them looking
after his son King Danjong, and they reacted with outrage to Sejo’s usurpation of
the throne in 1455. Together with Kim Jil , they plotted a coup to coincide with the
visit of a Ming Dynasty envoy. However, Kim Jil changed his mind at the last minute
and betrayed the plot to Sejo.
The Six were seized and tortured; when they refused to repent and insisted that their
actions had been righteous, they were executed.
In later years, national opinion came to revere the Six as model subjects, and
numerous shrines and seowon were erected in their memory.
