[Review: Arthdal Chronicles]

Ancient, War, Romance, Fantasy

Arthdal tribe wants to form a nation and stays on top of the pyramid. Mubaek offers Neantal Leader food such as beans, barley, corn, mug wort, and garlic. Neantal Leader said that Mother Nature gives everything they need and but they refused to form alliance with them. Neantal leader knows that their intention was to take over their land. Arthdal tribe was then decided to declare wars towards them. They also sacrificed Asahon who carried the plaque to Neantal tribe.

Asahon realised that she has been betrayed by her tribe. She told Ragaz to come to his sense that they need to protect their offspring together. They managed to escape and stayed hidden for the past 10 years. Arthdal tribe continued to hunt the remaining Neantal tribe who was not affected by plaque.

Asahon fell in love with Ragaz and gave birth to twin babies. These babies are Igutu (half human, half Neantal). Ragaz was having a fight with human warriors after hiding their older child with a medicine in the bush. Asahon had a dream. She dreamt Aramun Haesulla was going to take away her husband’s live if she failed to hand over her son. She saw her husband hung on the tree by Arthdal tribe. She escapes to Wahan tribe in the land of Lark with her younger son Eunseom in order to prevent Aramun Haesulla taken their lives.

Asahon searched for the past 10 years regarding the path to the land of Lark. Eunseom finally found the way to there. They walked through the hot land and eventually arrived at the forest at night. She was exhausted and unconsciousness. Eunseom looked for some medicine to treat his mother. He noticed that the wolves were going to attack them. He ran to his mother and protected her. Suddenly, a bunch of people came to rescue them. Asahon regained her conscious and recognised a young boy holding a bunch of flower and hammer which appeared in her dream - Aramun Haesulla. She said to him, “You used me.” Eunseom did not understand what she was saying. She told him to return to Aramun when his blue scales shed and gave him a necklace from Arth. She then passed away on the spot.

10 years later, Eunseom has grown up and living among the Wahan tribe. They questioned him whether he stole Tanya’s dream and also accused him for stealing a horse. They were curious when Eunseom did something extraordinary, such as riding a horse, plant seeding etc. He wants to ride a horse as he believed that riding a horse would be faster than running. The villagers thought that he was crazy. Mother Choseol gives him a few days to proof that human can ride a horse. He has troubles to ride on the horse as the horse does not get up. However, what he did has been against the rules set by the descendent of Wahan Tribe. Eunseom promised Mother Choseol that he will leave the place after the festival ended.

10 years ago, Tanya had a dreamt about Eunseom and his mother at the forest and she found them. After that day, she was unable to dream again. She was a friend to Eunseom. She was born on the same day as him under the same blue star. She was the descendant of Wahan tribe.

Tanya failed to dance the final move. She joined Mother Choseol to dance. She sadly claimed that she couldn’t hear the spirit’s voice, dream nor perform the spiritual dance. She wished that she could run away with Eunseom. Mother Choseol told her that everything is tied with a name, so do Eunseom too has to go back to his place.

Tanya suddenly heard the horse spirit asked her to give it a name. She then gives the horse a name, Helper, so that it can help Eunseom. She cut the rope and the horse stands up. Tanya told Eunseom the horse’s name and said that everything has a name.

Eunseom learnt things very fast after looking at once. He even taught Tanya how to dance so that she can learnt the Spell of Great White Wolf. During the festival, their village has been attacked by Arthdal tribe. Most of the villagers were killed and some has been captured to become the slave of Arthdal tribe. Eunseom tried to rescue them but he failed.

Mubeak realised that the horse ride by Eunseom is actually Kanmoreu. He thought it was a legend and he never believed it. He saw it with his own eyes that Kanmoreu can actually run the fastest among others horses.  Mubeak thought that if the horse is Kanmoreu, then Eunseom is Aramun Haesulla.

Eunseom went back to the village and he found Doti, who is the only one still alive. He promised Doti to catch the leader and rescue all villagers. On the other hand, Tanya and other villagers walked through the Sea of Tears. They were shocked to see mechanism built by Arthdal tribe. Eunseom threatened one of the guards to tell him the whereabout of Wahan tribe goes. He showed him the way and also told him that, Sanung Niruhu from Saeyeok Tribe was the one behind it and the leader is situated at Arthdal. Tagon’s victory to steal the land of Lark, allowed them to celebrate and headed back to Arthdal.

Sanung Niruhu is Tagon’s father. However, he dislikes his son as the shaman once told him that Tagon will kill him and take over his position one day. He was once intended to kill his son. Although Tagon knew that Taealha is a spy, he left the Igutu child for her. He was in love with her and even proposed to her. Taealha’s father, Mihol, knew that his daughter was in love with Tagon. He threatened her to kill him with an odourless, tasteless poison. She was unwilling to kill him.

Eunseom and Doti arrived at a corn field. They were curious that how they seeding the corn. The owner of the field chased them away because he thought that they are trying to destroy his corps. The owner realised that Eunseom is an Igutu.  Eunseom was curious what does “Igutu” actually mean. The owner told him that it was a mixed blood between Saram and monster. When the owner attacked him, he accidentally killed the owner. Chae Eun saw the whole incident. She does not afraid of him. She clarified to Eunseom that Neantal is not a monster, it just that they are different species from Saram. When he asked about the whereabout of Neathal tribe, she told him that they have kill all of them. Chae Eun covered his purple lips with other colour in order to cover his identity. She told him to go far away from here so that he won’t get caught by others. Eunseom and Doti finally arrived at Arthdal.

Chae Eun was surprised to see them at the Arthdal tribe. She asked his intention for coming here. He told her that he wanted to accomplish his mission before he could leave Arthdal. He and Doti saw it for the first time that how the chicken where locked in the cage and also the children whose legs has been locked to work in a factory that make the shining stone. He was frustrated on how Arthdal tribe treated the captives so cruel. He wanted to catch the union leader, Sanung, in order to exchange the live of his Wahan Tribe. Chae Eun told him to forget about his plan as it is impossible to capture the leader as there are 6 guards always besides him. Eunseom was determined to catch him.

Arthdal warrior killed one of their sick villages in front of them. Tanya, on the other hand, cursed the warriors when they are about to kill their Great Mother Choseol. She wants them to let her sent her off. Tanya told Mother Choseol that she lied about she had a dream and Mother Choseol also told Tanya that she never had a dream either. She told her that their ancestor probably from the place where people seeding, trading, riding the horse. She even told the symbol that she has to remember.

Tagon was accused for performing prayer for the dying warrior. He has breached the custom from Asa Clan. Asa Ron’s position has been threatened due to the rumours about their doings. Tagon had a secret meeting with Asa Ron. He offered him that he could secure his position if he was able to claim that the god has given a gift to Tagon to perform prayer.

During the event, Sanung came to see the Great White Mountain. After hearing what Asa Ron said, he was shocked. He thought that he could kill two birds with one stone. Sanung was eventually accused for lying in the judgement court. Asa Ron instructed his people to stop Sanung from leaving the room. However, Sanung’s men attacked some of the Asa Clan and escaped from there. Eunseom took Sanung away from the fighting. Tagon and his brother thought that they had their father in hand. However, they realised that their father was at the marketplace. Eunseom demanded Arthdal tribe to release Wahan tribe in exchange for their leader. Tagon decided to take off all his weapons and spoke with him.

Before that, Sanung spoke to Eunseom that Tagon was going to kill him and put the blame on him. He captured others and pretended to be Sanung. No doubt, when Tagon arrived, his target was to kill his father. Eunseom was shocked that what Sanung told was true. After some conversation between the father and son, Sanung did not trust his son either. When he was about to open the window, Tagon killed him at once, Eunseom failed to protect him. Tagon realised that he was not a normal person as he is strong and fast. Eunseom quickly ran away from the scene. Other guards await downstairs decided to enter the building after receiving orders from Tagon’s brother. They saw Tagon was crying over his father death. Tagon told the villagers that Eunseom was the one who killed his father. It triggered the anger of the villagers to hit Wahan tribe hardly, and some of their people died because of that. Tanya was relieved that Eunseom was still alive. She was hoping that he can rescue all of them.

Chae Eun asked Eunseom whether did he killed the leader. He denied about it. He asked her where does Tagon lived. He has a plan. Eunseom realised that Tagon was an Igutu too. He decided to threaten him with the evidence in order to release his people.

Mubeak met Asa Sakan at the Great White Mountain. The leader told him to stop the son the who killed his own father, because he could cause disrupted to the nation. He asked the leader regarding the plate that he found in Lark.

Mihol suspected that Tagon was the one who killed his own father. He told Asa Ron and Tagon’s brother about it. He was also looking for his missing daughter who believed that she helped him along the way. Taealha knew that her father was looking for her. She stayed hidden in Tagon’s house with her servant.

Tagon ran a prayer for his father. However, he has been blamed for unqualified to do so because he did not have dream or hear the spirit voice. There is someone has manipulated the situation and made Tagon act as Aramun Haesulla. On the other hand, Eunseom passed the evidence to Taealha and asked her to pass it to Tagon. She felt uneasy when Eunseom handed the purple blood to her. She informed Tagon about. She asked him to meet him and killed him.

Tagon and Eunseom meet at the marketplace. He asked him to release his people and he will keep the secret whereas Tagon will not harm the Wahan tribe as an exchange for keeping his secret. Asa Ron and Mihol moved all the Wahan Tribe to Fortress of Fire (Mihol’s house) in order to lure Eunseom to tell the truth. Mihol tried to convince Tagon’s brother to join them to reveal the truth about his father’s death. Tagon’s brother did not believed it and he thought that Mihol was trying to fool him as he captured Taealha’s servant and noticed about the letter.  He thought that it was Mihol who planned the strategy. In fact, it was actually Taealha’s idea to create chaos among the leaders. Tagon was shocked to know that all the Wahan Tribe has gone. With the help of the Great White Wolf, he managed to figure out the place where they were captured.

Since the Asa clan announced about capturing the Wahan Tribe, Eunseom decided to meet Mihol. He wanted to save his people by creating a chaos among the leaders. He realised that the people in Arthdal lack of trust in people. Chae Eun taught him how to deliver massage to Mihol. Mihol was so excited that Eunseom has a powerful evidence that could bring Tagon down. However, he worried that it might be a scam from Tagon. He requested his servant to meet him instead of him.

Tanya had a dream. She dreamt about Eunseom who handed a necklace and bell for her and showed her the way to the top of the Fortress of Fire. She told her father about it. Her father was glad that she was able to dream and listen to his inner thought. When the situation in Fortress of Fire were having a fight, Wahan tribe took this opportunity to escape of there. Tanya discovered a place and walked up to the top of the Fortress of Fire. She realised that she has been in a dream that Eunseom once told her. Eunseon’s twin brother, Saya was in there too.

Asa Sakan once told Mubeak that the 3 objects that appeared at the same time will cause the end of the world. Those three things are: sword (Eunseom), bell (Tanya) and mirror (Saya). Three of them were born on the same day where the sky appears blue star. During the fight, Eunseom managed to escape from Tagon’s warriors. However, he was being seriously injured. When Mubeak chased Eunseom, he told him that he was not the one who killed Sanung. Mubeak rescued him and placed him at the safe place for treatment. On the other hand, Mubeak told the warriors that he has jumped off the cliff for escape.

Tagon captured Mihol and Asa Ron at the scene. He also realised that some of the Wahan Tribe has escaped from there. He also realised that the door that lead to Saya’s room has been opened. He quickly went up there to check it out. He killed one of the warriors who saw Saya’s purple lip. He also caught Tanya. When Taealha was going to kill her, Tanya lied to them that if they killed her, Saya will die too. Tanya described the dream that Eunseom once told her, that there was a woman named Sanaeree was being killed and she saw bracelet that was stained with blood. Taealha was shocked that it is impossible for her to know about the past incident. She then decided to make her a maid for Saya. She asked her servant to train her. Tanya did not understand why she owned her and asked for do things. She then had a fight with the servant.

Mihol killed his workmen and remained the last 2 men. He asked them to escape and also helped him to carry out his mission. He also destroyed all the documents that related to making weapon. When Tagon arrived, he told him that he was now the only one who has the knowledge to make weapon. Later, Tagon founded Tanya’s father hid behind the room. He was amazed by the technique used to make swords. Tagon did not caught him, but in fact let him experiment those items.

Asa Ron was the highest priest in the country. Tagon cannot simply kill him. Tagon confessed to Asa Ron that he was the one who killed his own father. He also threatened to kill him as he already knew his secret. In exchange, Asa Ron however, took his steps firmly and suggested him to marry with Asa Clan.  Tagon told Taealha that he cannot marry her and have to marry with Asa Clan. Taealha was so angry but she has no other choice in order to avoid civil war. Taealha once killed Saya’s lovers. Saya decided to take the revenge by destroying her plan. He overheard about Taealha’s plan for killing Asa Ron and put the blame on Tagon’s brother. Saya exchanged the poison that given to Asa Ron and handed the real poison to Tagon’s brother. While he was giving a speech at the podium, he split the blood and now he was in critical situation. The villagers were shocked to see that. They believed that it was the punishment by the gods. Taealha asked Saya was he the one who did it to Tagon’s brother. Saya admitted it and that they were even now. He asked Taealha to take revenge on her father who made her to be spy at such a young age. Taealha decided to take over Hae tribe and supports Tagon to be the Union Leader as well as the King.

While Chae Eun was picking up some medicine for Eunseom, she found out that he was the son of Asa Hon with the proof of the necklace. She told Mubeak about it. He recalled the moments when he was asked to protect Asa Hon.

Tagon as expected he became the Union Leader of Arthdal and married with Asa Mot. His warrior also captured one of the people to pretend to be Eunseom, killed him with hot boiled water in front of the people. Wahan tribe has been scattered to different location. Tanya’s dad has been assigned to work as slave in Fortress of Fire. He was amazed by how they build things and also the letters. Taealha threatened Tanya to report to her about Saya’s every movement or else she will kill her father. Tanya did not how about food flavouring. She tried and taste them. Suddenly, Saya was gone. Taealha’s servant and Tanya looked everywhere for Saya. Tanya managed to find him, and followed him to rural area. Saya asked her why she did not runaway, she told him that Taealha has threatened her father’s life so she could not run away. Saya arranged a meeting for Tanya and her father. Saya told her that he always dreamt that he was a strong and fast person. He was hunting the animals. Saya did not tell her that he also dreamt of her in his dream.

Saya shown Tanya the secret pathway to Fortress of Fire. They have been caught by Taealha’s servant. Saya threatened her that he will make a scene there about his identity. He also knew that she was the one who killed his lover. Taealha’s servant has no choice but to let Tanya meet her father for a short while. Her father told Tanya that Eunseom already passed away.

On the way home, Tanya kept laughing and smiling. Saya thought that she was happy to meet her dad. Taealha’s servant however felt that she was crazy as her dad told her to take of her since her friend already passed away. She told Saya about it. Saya felt something not right about her. He talked to her so that she can accept the fact that her friend already died. She listened and she realised that what Saya said was right. She decided to gain power through Saya.

Tagon wanted to change the current system in Arthdal. He seeks advise from Asa Ron and he approved about it. He wanted to reinstate the previous system which consists of 8 ministers and 12 won. He requested to meet all the head tribe and announced who are the ministers. Asa Ron was so furious that his ranked has been lowered by Tagon as he chosen him to be the minister.

Eunseom had a dream about Tanya. He awaked and found himself in a house. Chae Eun’s sister told him that he should not move around as he was recovering. His friends came to visit him. They also planned to rescue the other villagers. When they are in a mist of rescuing them, one of their friends betrayed them. Euseom and his friend were being caught by the guards whereas another friend managed to escape. The reason why they had been betrayed is because they have once abandoned them at the Fortress of Fire and also caused them to lost their family members. Eunseom as being an Igutu has been known by one of the guards when he beat him. He has been tortured by the guards. 

Tanya decided to understand the politic issue in Arthdal through Saya. Tanya also taught Saya how to catch bird. They caught a bird with blue feather. Saya suspected that Asa Ron has done something to accuse Tagon. He fabricated a few scenes to make the people rely on him and also make Tagon under his control. Tagon was very angry towards Asa Ron. Taealha has found out the scams by Asa Ron. She told Tagon to do something about it. She also encouraged him not to give up. Asa Ron was happy that now Tagon have to follow his instruction. When his member talking about the incident that the Tiger’s heart has been taken out, Asa Ron wondered who did it as he never did such things before.

Saya met someone during at night. Tanya was curious about it. The next day, she decided to follow Saya. She entered a cave and she saw the symbol that once Mother Choseol drawn. She also saw the people who has the same drawing on their face. She was caught by Saya. Saya was intended to brought her there too.

Mubaek found out that Eunseom and his friends has been missing. Chae Eun’s sister was fainted after looking for Eunseom and his friends. She finally awoke and told her father that she saw the Neantal in Arthdal. Mubaek asked around to find the whereabout of them. He tried to rescue them. One of his comrades warned Mubaek that he should not do something that betrayed Tagon as they found him acting weird after returning from the Lark. One of the soldiers inform Tagon about it. Tagon started to suspect Mubaek. He offered him lead the military however, Mubaek decided to think about it. While he was on his way to find Eunseom, he was being kidnapped by Tagon’s men. Tagon questioned him about his intention for meeting Asa Kan. He also asked him whether did he kill his father as well as reveal the true descendent of Asa Sin – Tanya who inherit the direct bloodline of Asa Sin.

Tagon went to see Tanya and asked her about her origin. He told Taealha that Tanya could replace Asa Ron as he was indirect descendent of Asa Sin. Taealha asked her servant to spread the rumours about the Asa Ron was not direct descendent of Asa Sin. Saya was curious that why his father met Tanya. When he was out for a walk, he heard the rumours and he knew that it was Tagon’s doing. Tagon then instructed his men to kill those who are under the “spell” of Asa Ron.

Chae Eun saw Tanya in the cave and asked her why she did not draw on her face. She told her that it was her first came to there. When Asa Ron asked his men to kill those who are the member of Great Mountain Heart in the market. Tanya was shocked to see it.  Chae Eun saw her and told her about the secret meeting venue. Doti found Tanya and told Chae Eun about it. Mubaek once told her to bring Tanya to him as she was the direct descendent of Asa Sin. At night, Chae Eun meet her in private. She told her that Eunseom haven’t die. Tanya was relieved about it.

One of the priests passed away in front of the Aramun Haesulla’s monument with the heart being taken out. Asa Ron thought that it was Tagon’s doings. On the other hand, Tagon thought that it was Asa Ron or perhaps someone else who did it.

Saya though over and over again as he was curious that why his father suddenly changed his mind. He then realised that Tanya lied to him and used him to again power. He was angry with her. Tanya told him that she was regret that she used him. Saya wanted to create chaos among Tagon and Asa Ron. He placed some poster in Tagon’s office.

Mubaek while he was on his way to Chae Eun’s sister place, he saw his comrade has been killed. By the time he reached there, he saw 2 Neantal were in front of her house. Mubaek tried to protect them. Those Neantal did not hurt them. In fact, they just asking Chae Eun’s sister to come with them. Mubaek realised that she was an Igutu. He wanted to kill her but has been stopped by her father who was a doctor. Her father has severed her nerve that make her weak. Chae Eun’s sister did not wish to join them as she missed her family here.  

Eunseom joined forces with the gangs to plan an escape. They captured one of the leaders and threatened him to let them escape. Eunseom suggested that all of them pretend to be dead so that they can escape successfully. In return, they gave all the jewelleries that they found in the underground for him. The leader agreed with the exchange. However, he never kept his promise to let them escape.

Tagon ordered his men to capture the leader of Great Mountain Heart. She told him about the Saya’s ideas. He realised that it was Saya’s doing. He warned him not to act recklessly. Tagon decided to join the White Peak Mountain after hearing Saya’s opinion. Saya felt that if they never try, they never know if the people can accept them, the Igutu, as their King. Saya asked Tanya to stay hidden in their mud hut. Tagon also asked his men to follow Saya and they found where Tanya is. They just monitored them from the far.

Mihol kept an eye on Tagon. He captured his daughter and sent it to the prison. He wanted his daughter to admit the fact that Tagon was the leader of the Great Mountain Heart. He wanted to accused him so that he cannot become the leader of the Union. Mihol tried his best to change his daughter’s mind to support him instead of Tagon. Taealha believed in Tagon that they never betray one another.

Mihol happened to know that Tanya was the direct descendent of Asa Sin. He then asked his servant to find Tanya. Mihol captured Tanya. He questioned her whether she could find the blue star in the Great Shrine. Taealha made a sign to her, so that she could answer “yes”. She requested Mihol to brought the “plate” from the Lark to her. Fortunate that the “plate” was in the hand of Tagon. Mihol met Tagon in person. They agreed to exchange the idea and join forces, provided that Tanya can proof her identity as the descendent of Asa Sin.

On the other hand, Mihol told Asa Ron about Tanya. His intention was to become the Union leader. He needed a recognition from Asa Ron. In fact, he was actually using both of them. When Mihol handed the “plate” to Tanya, she did not know where the blue star is. He thought that she was lying. He forces her to drink hallucinations so that she could tell the truth. It turned out that she did not lie. Mihol then asked her daughter to write a letter to Tagon saying that Tanya know where the blue star is.

Tagon’s men heard from Taealha that Tanya did not know where is it. Saya told him that it was a trap set by Mihol as he has no reason to meet him. Tagon planned to kill Mihol, however, after looking at the letter, he did not kill him. From the letter, Taealha informed him that Tanya know where the blue star is. While Asa Ron was trying to protect his position and eliminate Tagon. His plan has ruined. During the Sacred Trial, Tanya was able to proof her identity by finding the blue star. She will therefore become the High Priest. Tanya intention is to gain more power to rescue Eunseom.

Tanya became the High Priest. She asked Tagon to fulfil his promise by releasing all the Wahan Tribe. Tagon and Taealha were happy that they could finally create their own kingdom. Tanya also recognised Tagon as Aramun Haesulla. Tanya instructed Mubaek to bring all the Wahan tribe in back to Arthdal.

Eunseom managed to escape from the underground and rescued all his fellow comrade away from that place. He also fulfils his promise to bring his friend cloth to his wife at Momo tribe. The leader of Momo tribe, Xabara, gave them a token as appreciation. While they are asleep, the assassin attacked Xabara. Eunseom rescued her and her baby too. She pledged with his tribe to protect him as repayment for the rest of their lives. Ipseang was a greedy and selfish person. He abandoned Eunseom and let him to die many times. However, Eunseom did not give up on him. He kept rescuing him from danger. Suddenly, there was a bear attacked them. Ipseang cut Eunseom knee while he escaped from the bear. When the bear attacked him, the Neantals came by. Eunseom thanked them for rescuing him. He noticed that they are Neantal. One of the Neantal recognised him as Asa Hon’s son. However, he pretended that he did not know him. Eunseom and Ipseang have been chased by Arthdal’s guard. They accidentally entered Ago tribe.

Tagon told his people that he has a son and his mother was Taealha. Everyone was surprise about it. Wahan tribe at first thought that Saya was Eunseom, because they really look alike.

Asa Ron was unhappy that he has been tricked by Tagon. He let Tagon to reveal his crime for killing his own father and instructed the Children of Shahati to kill him. When the Children of Shahati stabbed him with a poison knife, Tagon’s purple blood was shown. Tagon no longer sit back for what he did to him. He attacked those who know his secret. Taealha and Tanya also attacked. Luckily, they are saved. Tagon comrades also being attacked. Fortunately, they are cleaver enough to differentiate the Children of Shahati.

Tagon looked for Asa Ron everywhere. Suddenly, the Mungtae (from Wahan tribe) brought him to Tagon. He killed him without hesitate. All the Asa clan has been killed and captured for punishment. Taealha ordered Tanya to announce that all the party that related to the case as well as their family members should be killed or cut off their feet. Tanya did not want to do something bad. She requested Taealha to allow her to go back to the Lark. Taealha throw a question for her as well. She asked her whether her people willing to leave Arthdal. Tanya gathered all her people and discussed about going back to Lark. Only Doti wanted to go back there with her. When other tribes where questioning about inappropriate to kill the innocent, he ordered Mungtae to kill all of them. Taealha’s father warned her that Tagon has changed, he has an eye of the King.

Tanya asked Saya why Tagon did so. He told her that Tagon want to implant fear among the people. He wanted to gain more power. Tanya announced on the stage that the god allow them to do what they want and free them from being killed. Tanya gained the heart of people.

Tanya’s cure came true when Mubaek’s brother was being killed with the hand rip off his heart under the cement moon. He asked her to perform prayer for his brother. He also told her about the bell, mirror and sword. He believed that she was the bell, Eunseom was the sword and Saya was the mirror. When 3 of them together, it will be the end of the world. Tanya started to worry about it.

Eunseom and Ipseang were being captured as slave by the Ago tribe Tae Clan. When they were about to sell together with other slaves, Myo Clan came to rescue them. However, their sister was being captured. Ipseang warned Eunseom that not to trust any people in Ago Tribe as they don’t trust each other. They are capturing each other and selling them to Arthdal. When Myo clan attacked the slave, Ipseang told them that he was the descendent of Tae Clan. He can rescue their sister. He was about to escape from the Myo Clan, but he came back to Myo clan. He felt guilty for leaving Eunseom there. He lied to them that Eunseom saw their god, Inaishingi. Eunseom just played along with him about what the god told him. Before that, he noticed about the dance that they danced. It was the same dance that Tanya and him danced before. When the elder of Ago Tribe knew that he was lying, he danced the dance. They were amazed about it. However, in order to prove his innocent, they are going to held the Judgement of Waterfall. Ipseang told him that no one ever stay alive, even though he was a good swimmer. There is only one person to manage to alive which is their god.

Momo Tribe on the other hand also looking for Eunseom. Eunseom’s friends were worried about him after waiting for him for several days. They went to the mountain and found Momo tribe there. They also noticed the flag has the image of Eunseom’s back. Momo tribe and them was informed by the Daeken forces that they have went to Ago Tribe. By the time they arrived there, Momo tribe was informed that Eunseom has underwent the Judgement of Waterfall. They rescued him from the waterfall. Xabara welcomed him to come to her tribe, but he insisted that he wanted to save his friend in Ago tribe. When he arrived in Ago tribe, all the Myo clan was happy and believed that he was Inaishingi. Eunseom brought the warrior to rescue the slaves in Doldombu.

Tagon’s wound was worsen and Saya treated him. He told him that he would be his successor. Tagon instructed Saya tortured Mihol to reveal the secret of bronze. Taealha has no choice but to kill her own father. She wanted to take revenge against Tagon as he broke the promised to protect the secret of bronze. She threatened him that she was the one who only know the secret of bronze and she was pregnant with his child. Tagon decided to marry her during the coronation and promised all her wishes. On the other hand, he asked Saya to find out the secret of bronze secretly.

Saya felt that Tagon has changed after Taealha whispering to him. He also noticed that Tanya also has secret that did not want him to know. He captured all the Wahan tribe and threatened Mubaek and Chae Eun’s servant to tell him the truth. Chae Eun’s sister wanted to take revenge against Tagon and Taealha who killed their parents. Tanya treated the children with shoes and food. She also gave hope to them. She was trying to gain the people heart so that she has more power to protect her tribe.

Eunseom managed to unite all the Ago tribe. Tagon has a spy in Ago tribe known as Red Claw. He declared war to fight against Ago tribe during the coronation.

I like the story but it ended too quickly. I hope the production can produce a drama that has the ending instead of hanging there. We would like to see the ending whether be it a good ending or a bad one it does not matter.

He felt pissed off when Si Young told him that Yo Han was the one who told her about the symptoms. Yo Han lost his license due to malpractice. He has been punished in prison for 3 years because he has been accused for murdering the patient. Si Young was shocked to hear from Dr Lee. However, she believed Yo Han’s professionalism about the rare disease of the patient.

After releasing from the prison, Yo Han became a freeman. After a few months, Si Young came back to work in hospital. She was motivated by Yo Han and she does not want to turn away like before. She also met Dr Lee and Yo Han in the hospital. All of them work in the same department. Yo Han worked as a professor in anesthesiology department. Si Young and Dr Lee was happy to see him. Dr Lee no longer has prejudice towards Yo Han. He respected him as a professor. Other residents have a bad impression on Yo Han due to he is an ex-convict.

Yo Han managed to diagnose the fighter's disease correctly even though he has been banned from treating the patient. The fighter believed in him that he will save his life for the sake of his family. He apologized to Yo Han and Si Young for his misbehavior towards them. He also thanked them for not listening to him, so that he can receive proper treatment to heal his body.

On the other hand, there are many protesters outside the hospital. They demonstrated Yo Han was an unqualified doctor who kill his patient.  Eun Jung, the formal nurse that treated the patient, Mr Jong talked to Si Young that Yo Han had intention to kill the patient even though the patient has a strong will for living. Si Young started to question Yo Han professionalism. Dr Lee explained to Si Young that Yo Han was a fearless doctor. His explanation convinced her that Yo Han was a good doctor that he has many things to learn from him. He was fond of him.

Si Young asked Yo Han whether doctor has the right to end the life of the patient. She also asked him whether did he regret for his action. Yo Han told her that was not a right question to ask. Doctor tries their best to save the patient's life. They, as an anesthetist, are responsible to reduce the pain of the patient even though that might cause them to dead. Si Young told him about her patient (her father) that she failed to rescue. She told her that her patient still alive.

Si Young went to the hospital to see her father. He relied on the ventilator machine to prolong his lifespan. She was upset to see his condition. She cried. Yo Han saw her by passed him. He followed her and stayed a side without her noticed. Mi Rae is Si Young's sister. She hates her as she failed to save their father. Suddenly, Si Young's father was in critical situation. All the doctors came to his room except for Si Young. Her mother tried her best to rescue him. She cried at the ladder and Yo Han found her. He consoled and asked her to see her father as that's perhaps was the lasting meeting between father and daughter.

Si Young saw her father suffered in pain. She asked her mother to stop rescuing him. Her mother realized about his pain. She decided to take off the ventilator machine to end his life. Si Young was regretted that she did not spend time with her father while he was still healthy.

Prosecutor Son met Si Young coincidently. He wanted to meet Yo Han. He warned him not to repeat his mistake anymore. Yo Han has become famous after saving the life of the fighter. Many people came to the Paint Management Centre to look for him. They encountered 2 rare patients. Patient A is extremely sensitive to pain whereas Patient B is very insensitive to pain and temperature. Yo Han gave these 2 tasks to his residences. Yo Han was very concerned to Patient B case. When Patient B was about to give up his treatment, Yo Han managed to make him change his mind. Si Young was curious about what Yo Han had shown to Patient B. She entered his office and look up in his computer. She discovered that Yo Han’s condition is the same as Patient B. Yo Han found out her for knowing his secret. He asked her to keep his secret or else he will be banned from being a doctor. She went back home and did her research on this disease.

Yo Han applied a half day off for medical checkup. Si Young was extremely worried about him. Yo Han consoled her that he will monitor his condition every day. He also showed his room and equipment in order for Si Young to rest assure about his life.

There was a Nipah virus alarmed to the world. One of the patients was suspected to have Nipah Virus. Pain Management Centre were closed down and all the patients have to stay in there to avoid the virus from spreading. The patient split his blood to Si Young’s face. She considered to have higher risk of getting the virus. Before confirming anything, they diagnosed the patient first. They realized that the symptoms shown is irrelevant to Nipah Virus. Thanks to all the residences hard work for solving the problems.

One of the reporters tried to find fault with Yo Han. He kept focus on the Euthanasia case that he has involved. The hospital attorney stopped the interview and quickly left the place with Yo Han. Yo Han felt that there is something wrong with his body. He often felt dizzy. He faced the reporter when his body is weak. He quickly escaped from the reporter in order to prevent him from getting to know his disease. Luckily, Si Young was there to help him. She saw him collapsed in the hospital and brought him to another hospital for treatment with Dr Lee.

There was a patient who faced a last stage of cancer. Her condition is really bad and she was going to die. The Prosecutor and Eun Jung saw this golden opportunity to find fault on Yo Han again.

Dr Lee and Si Young were worried about Yo Han’s condition. During the forum session, Yo Han was about to collapse. Si Young came to the stage and Yo Han handed over to her to continue the presentation. After the presentation came to the end, he went to see his panel doctor. His doctor told him that he did not have much time left. He can live longer if he quit his job as a doctor.

The residents in Pain Management Centre decided to held a Hanse Wish Club to help those patients with terminal disease to fulfill their wish before they died. The patient jumped off the building in front of the residents when she heard that her son did not want to see her. The residents rushed to the scene and sent the patient to emergency department. Dr Lee reported the incident to Yo Han.

There was a nurse noticed that Yo Han was in the room of the patient and the ventilator has been turned off. They called the police for investigation. The prosecutor questioned Yo Han about his whereabout whereas the police officer questioned his fellow residents. Before they finished their questioning, they went to look at the CCTY footage. The prosecutor realized that Yo Han was rushing to the patient room and he seem like he was going to save the patient rather than killing her.

The patient’s sister told the doctor that she decided to sign a consent form in order to end the pain of her sister. Suddenly, she received a call from the patient’s ex-husband that he lied about her son did not want to see her. He told her that her son might be at the hospital. Si Young ran all over the hospital to find her son. The patient was in critical situation. Yo Han tried his best to save her so that she could be reunited with her son. Si Young brought her son to her.

One day, Yo Han saw the prosecutor sent to emergency department. He looked through his illness record and recommended the doctor to give appropriate medicine for him. One of the members that the prosecutor known, she decided to end her pain with Cherubim. The prosecutor was investigating the case on this, because he thought that it is inappropriate for the doctor to end the life of the patient. The doctor would consider as a murder.

Eun Jung met the reporter who investigated on Yo Han. She shared with the prosecutor that Yo Han has an illness which is CIPA. The prosecutor told her not to take any action before he had a proper investigation on this matter. Eun Jung decided to write a complain in Hanse Medical Centre regarding a doctor who has CIPA illness.

The board of doctors questioned Yo Han about his illness. He admitted that. All the residents also knew about his condition and they were worried about him. Patient B came to the hospital again. He has been unconscious and all the doctors were working out for him. They monitored his condition and tried to find out the cause. Patient B’s friend told the doctor the he has been bullied by a group of friends in the warehouse. Yo Han went to warehouse to find the cause. When he was about to return, he collapsed from the stair. Si Young unable to reach him and she suspect that he already collapsed.

The board of doctors came to the decision to expel Yo Han from hospital. However, his residents wrote petition and get their patient signatures in order to retain Yo Han in the hospital. They also called a few patients and did an interview before they came to the meeting room in order to stop the board of doctor from expelling him. Although the board of doctor decided to change their mind, Yo Han decided to leave the hospital.

Ex-minister talked to Yo Han about Cherubim – drug that used to die peacefully. He was furious as it was a kind of murdering. He called the prosecutor and talked to him about it. The ex-minister was sick and did not have much time left. He asked the hospital attorney to give him the drug so that he can died peacefully. By the time the police and the prosecutor came to his house, he already passed away. The hospital attorney and the sales manager of Cherubim flee to other countries that allowed that to use this drug. Patient B condition became worsen. Yo Han tried his best to save him but he failed. He told Si Young that he wanted to go back to his previous him that he wasn’t afraid of tomorrow. They had a small argument.

The prosecutor felt the pain on his chest. He insisted to go to Hanse Medical Centre and let Yo Han to treat him. He trusted him. While Eun Jung was on her way to visit the prosecutor, she met Yo Han. They cleared their misunderstanding and Eun Jung was no longer having resentment toward him anymore.

Si Young’s mother decided to take off the ventilator of her husband. Yo Han did not came to the funeral. Dr Lee told Mi Rae that Yo Han was besides her father until the very end. Si Young quickly went to the airport to meet him before he went abroad. She finally found him before he flied.

Over the past few months, Yo Han updated his temperature via email to Si Young. One day, Si Young did not receive any email from him. She was worried about his condition. One of his colleagues contacted her that he was busy with his research. Yo Han requested his colleague to lie to her so that she did not worry about his condition. He was actually being hopitalised due to his condition became worsen. Day after day, Yo Han did not contact her either. She gave up contacting him.

After 3 years, Yo Han came back to Hanse Medical Centre. He met her. She asked him when did he came back to Koera. He told her that he came back a year ago. Si Young was frustrated that he did not inform her that he has returned. Si Young’s mother wanted to invite Yo Han to be the Head of Pain Management Centre, however, he rejected the offer.

Suddenly, the hospital called Mr Ki that Han Su has awake. He quickly went to the hospital. Unfortunately, he was too late. Boem-Jin has controlled Han Su from telling him the truth.

Mr Ki looked at the CCTV installed by his partner. He found out that the police officer was the one who brought Han Su to the roof top and Beom Jin followed to here. He threatened the officer and stopped him from killing Han Su. Since Han Su refused to talk to Mr Ki, Mr Ki asked So Hyun to talk to him. Mr Ki wanted to know what he tried to tell him on that day. He also warned Han Su not to tell lie anymore, as it is unfavourable for his case. Tae-Ra told Beom Jin that Mr Ki asked her about their whereabout on the incident day. She didn’t tell Mr Ki about it. However, she revealed to Beom Jin that she knew about his disappearance during the movie. Beom Jin started to worry about his alibi. Mr Ki warned Tae-Ra not to trust her boyfriend. However, she refused to listen to him.

Mr Ki and his partner went to the cinema for a movie. Mr Ki tried to imagine and estimate how much time for Beom Jin to leave the cinema and went to Su Ah’s house and at the same time, managed to go back to the cinema before the movie end. Mr Ki suspected that Beom Jin was the one who killed Su Ah. Beom Jin invited Tae-Ra to the roof top. Tae-Ra was so happy about it because she thought that he has prepared some surprise for her. Unfortunately, he pushed her off the roof top and died on the spot.

Mr Ki, his partner and So Hyun came to the hospital. Mr Ki knew that Beom Jin was the killer. He killed her because he wanted to avoid Tae Ra from telling the truth. Since Tae Ra passed away, Beom Jin put the blame on Ye-Ri who bullied her after her fabricated performance leaked to the public. Ki Hoon saw the situation and started to suspect Beom Jin.

Mr Ki threatened Ki Hoon’s father for getting back his license. Ki Hoon’s father has no choice but to follow what Mr Ki wants because he knew their relationship between Lee Tae Seok.

Mr Ki tried to persuade Han Su from telling truth. He asked So Hyun to pass the documents for him. After he reviewed it, he found out that Su Ah’s death is complicated. He told So Hyun and Mr Ki the truth on the day of incident. When Mr Ki asked him why he lied to the police that he saw Tae Seok ran out from the back door. Han Su said that he was told by Beom Jin to say that to the police. Mr Ki finally confirmed that Beom Jin was the one who killed Su Ah. Mr Ki wanted to bait both Beom Jin and his father. He made a call to his father to meet up. Mr Ki told his father that his son monitored his phone by installing a spy app and he was also revealed that Beom Jin was the killer of Su Ah.

Beom Jin and his father were having an argument with one another. Beom Jin’s father threatened the police officer to take the fall for him or else he will kill his daughter’s life. Before that, Mr Ki met the police officer to make the right decision and think about his daughter’s future. Beom Jin’s father asked the prosecutor to execute the police officer’s crime. The police officer turned himself in and revealed his crimes. Cha Hyun-Jung was worried that he will admit everything as told by Beom Jin’s father. She quickly contacted Mr Ki about it. Luckily, the police officer pointed out that he was being ordered by Beom Jin’s father.

Beom Jin’s father asked Ki Hoon’s father to defend him. However, he rejected his offer and let the prosecutor to take him away. During the court, Beom Jin’s father revealed that his son was the murderer. Beom Jin denied that. Mr Ki found the CCTV footage that can proved that he was at the scene during the incident. However, the CCTV footage did not show he killed her. The public started to speculate that he was the one who killed Su Ah although Mr Ki did not have the solid evidence. Beom Jin’s father was being punished to pay for his crime whereas Beom Jin was being murdered by someone else.

Han Su was released and back to school. Ki Hoon seek forgiveness from him for his mistakes. Ye Ri was lonely at the school as the student think of her bullying Tae Ra. Mr Ki no longer be the teacher for the students, but he came back as an attorney for the school.
