The King of Joseon who decided to
work with Pyunsoo Group in order to assassinate the late King for the throne. The
leader of Pyunsoo Group will force those who join the group to take poppy pills
so that he can threaten the people with their life.
Lady Young Bin gave birth to a
crown prince. The King was very happy as he finally has a child to be a true
King instate of the puppet King. Pyunsoo Group collaborated with the Queen to
poison the new born crown prince. When the prince was nearly died, the King met
the Leader and requested for antidote. The Leader will only give the antidote
with two conditions: the King has to hand over the Bureau of Water Supply to
them and the prince must join the group when the time comes. When the prince
healed from the poison, the prince developed a special ability whereby the
prince has a self healing ability to heal himself from any poison. The King was
afraid that the Pyunsoo Group forces the prince to join them. Therefore he
purposely announced to the crowd that the prince needs to wear a mask due to
his illness. The King also ordered that whoever sees the face of the prince
will be killed.
The prince was wondering why he
has to wear a mask throughout the years even thought he does not has any
diseases. As the prince wanted to seek for the truth, he went out of the palace
and looked for Master Woo Bin. On the way to see Woo Bin, he met a group of poor people who are suffer for insufficient of water supply. He also noticed that the Bureau of Water Supply actually changed a high price for those who buy water from them. The Prince caused an issue there and thus Ga Eun saved him from being captured by the guards. The Crown Prince does not want to
reveal his name to the people. Therefore, he used another name Chun Soo for
himself. Ga Eun leaded him to the place where Master Woo Bin stayed.
Woo Bin knew the identity of Chun Soo and advised him not to do anything that will cause issue to the people. Chun Soo refused and he even involved in the investigation of the Water Supply issue. Due to his reckless act, Ga Eun's father and Lee Sun's father being killed. The Prince was desperate and kept apologizing to them. The King kept delay the day when the Prince has to join the Group. He even looked for a fake one to replace the Prince since none of them knew who is the real prince. Leader noticed that the King sent the fake prince to them. One day, Pyunsoo Group assassinate the King as well as Lady Young Bin in a night. The Prince saw it with his own eyes regarding the situation. However he managed to escape from the palace. The fake prince then become the King on the throne. (those who are addicted to poppy pills need to intake that pills for every 15 days)
The Prince met Master Woo Bin and asked for his advice what he need to do in order to get his throne back. Master Woo Bin let him join the peddles. The Prince sooner became the Chief Peddler who solves the issues faced by the people. He also investigate secretly about what Pyunsoo Group did to the people. He worked together with his comrade as well as the granddaughter of the Leader to eliminate Pyunsoo Group. At last, he finally claimed back his throne and serve the nation with love and care. All the people in the nation praise the new King for doing good for them.
The story line is interesting. However, it is not as touchy as the Love in the Moonlight. The overall plot is satisfying and I enjoyed watching the drama.
