While his father insists on a strong and centralized government, Crown Prince Sado promotes social justice and equality throughout the kingdom. Throughout eight fateful years, the strain on their relationship — both familial and political — eventually evolves into a total breakdown, ending with one of the most tragic stories in Joseon history.
Set during the king Yeong-jo's reign in Joseon dynasty, the drama follows the king's uneasy relationship with his son, Sa-do.
A document, thought long destroyed, tying King Yeongjo's ascension the throne to the Noron Faction, resurfaces. Crown Prince Sado distrupts the government by proclaiming the creation and distribution of books by commoners legal.
