Description:

In a world of political intrigue and ruthless power struggles, 'King Yeonsan' chronicles the turbulent reign of Joseon's notorious tyrant king. Unapologetically exploitative, King Yeonsan uses his subjects as mere playthings for his own carnal desires while maintaining an iron grip on the nation through fear and manipulation. At his side stands a cunning retainer whose unwavering loyalty masks a sinister hold over the monarch and all court dealings. Amidst this oppressive environment, a determined woman emerges with a burning desire for vengeance against the king and his allies. As her plot unfolds, the story delves into themes of power, betrayal, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of unrelenting tyranny. The tension builds as the characters navigate through an intricate web of deceit, desire, and ambition, ultimately culminating in a climax that questions the true nature of loyalty and power within the court of King Yeonsan.
