Lee Byeong-hoon, the director of the hit TV series "The Jewel in the Palace," came back in full force with the historical period piece, "Yi San," the story about King Jeong-jo, the 22nd king of the Joseon Dynasty. Yi-san (Lee Seo-jin) is just a child when his grandfather, King Young-jo (Lee Sun-jae) locks up his father, the Crown Prince, in a rice container and starves him to death because he suspects his own son of mutiny. During this terrible time, Yi-san befriends two children for life, Seong Song-yeon (Han Ji-min) and Park Dae-su (Lee Jong-su). Thereafter, as Yi-san grows up, the attempts on his life grow more and more heated as someone is desperate for him to die before ascending onto the throne. As the conspiracy thickens, Yi-san finds support and h! ope in his friends, particularly Song-yeon, towards whom he develops feelings of love. Yi-san eventually does become the 22nd king of the Joseon Dynasty, and he is one of the most innovative and reform-oriented kings in Korean history.
