Jeong Do-jeon is a great politician and revolutionist who listened to the cries of the people and dreamt of building a new kingdom and an ideal state at the end of the Goryeo times.

Born to a poor countryside family, he was restricted from stepping into the mainstream because of his mother's blood of the lowest class. He was always isolated since his bureaucrat days and was always defeated when it came to facing powerful families. However, he met with the people who didn't have the opportunity or wealth to educate themselves more and listened to their voices. He found his historical summons and suppressed the anarchy.

Jeong Do-jeon is a highly morale character who wiped the tears of the people and this drama will restore the faith of those politicians. This drama re-highlights the political leadership like Jeong Do-jeong who read the minds of the people and swiftly responded to them.

Cho Jae-hyun in the role of Jeong Do-jeong decided to take on this role right away without hesitation and said, "I want to approach this drama not as a hero but as a person who wants to share the people's voices".
