During the bloody revolution led by Taejo Lee Seong-gye and Jeong Do-jeon, there stood General Kim Mein-jae and Lee Bang-won as comrades at the frontlines.

But in the year of 1398, within 7 years from the establishment of Joseon, Jeong Do-jeon's faction, who were afraid of the intelligence and capability of Lee Bang-won (who would later become king), prevented him from becoming Crown Prince as well as being appointed as meritorious retainer. As this happened, the two drifted away from each other and the relationship degraded into a fiery hate,

Though they used to share one goal: fighting against one enemy, and be compatriots united by blood, they conflict with each other stronger than any other pair.

As seen in the still images, Shin Ha-kyun and Jang Hyuk seemed to be in the same place but are looking in different directions. Through their archers pulled tight, viewers are to experience the spectacle and dynamic Joseon through the movie.
