The scenario intertwines two storylines. One of them occurs in a "nowadays" placed in the early 19th century of Joseon. The other occurred twenty years earlier. The first one is treated lightly, in the Sungkyunkuan Scandal vein, with caricatures, jokes, gimmicks, students fights, etc.The second one, only depicted by short flash-backs, is about the unjust situation of the rank and file people, and the brutal suppression of anyone who dares to object.
