1871年、辛未洋擾の際にアメリカに渡った青年が、再び祖国朝鮮の土を踏む。そこで待ち受けていたのは、運命を変える出会いと抗いきれない歴史のうねり。

During the Japanese occupation of Korea in the 1930s, one of the darkest periods of Korean history, heroes came from ordinary men who did extraordinary things in their everyday lives. Lee Kang To is one of those men. A skilled martial artist, Kang To actively participates in the independence movement to fight against the Japanese imperialist regime. He is known as “Gaksital” because he hides his true identity behind a rosy-cheeked traditional bridal mask, known as a “gaksital,” when he fights against the Japanese. But can one man do enough to right the wrongs of a terrifying national enemy?

During the Japanese colonial rule of Korea, a Korean surgeon who was raised by a Japanese family becomes a spy for the Korean government.

The drama evokes the spirit of love between the country and the nation of Ahn Jung-geun, a young man who went through a turbulent period of enlightenment between the late 1800s and the early in the 1900s.
