Set during the Donghak Peasant Revolution (1894-1895), two half-brothers find themselves on opposing sides of the conflict. Baek Yi Kang is the first son of a prominent family whose wealthy father is a notorious local government official, while his mother comes from the lowest class. His mother's low social standing and being born out-of-wedlock cause people to look down upon him. Baek Yi Hyun is Yi Kang’s younger half-brother who is handsome, smart, and polite. Yi Hyun has everything and treats his half-brother with respect. Song Ja In is the only daughter of the head of a large peddlers’ group, who owns the Jeonjoo Yeokak Inn, where goods are also sold. Ja In has courage and charisma and remains calm under pressure. She dreams of becoming the best merchant in Joseon. (Source: AsianWiki)
