The Age of Blood

In the midst of a tumultuous 1728, Ancient Korea finds itself grappling with the complexities of power and rebellion, as the once-peaceful land begins to teeter on the brink of chaos. King Yeong-jo of Joseon, a just ruler in the eyes of his people, has ruled with an iron fist to maintain the delicate balance of power in his kingdom. However, a small spark of dissent has ignited within the heart of his domain, threatening to engulf everything in its path. Amidst this backdrop, we are introduced to Swordsman Kim Ho, a skilled warrior and loyal guardian of the king. As a trusted member of the royal guard, Kim Ho has dedicated his life to upholding the law and protecting the throne. However, in a surprise move, he finds himself demoted from his esteemed position and dispatched to the notorious Uigeumbu prison. The once-respected swordsman now finds himself confined to the cold, unforgiving walls of this foreboding fortress, forced to navigate the harsh realities of life behind bars. Little does Kim Ho know that his troubles are only just beginning. As the darkness of night descends upon Uigeumbu, the prison is suddenly breached by the master warrior Do Man-cheol and his formidable henchmen. This ruthless bandit, driven by a singular purpose, has arrived to liberate none other than Lee In-jwa, a condemned prisoner awaiting execution for his role in a failed rebellion against the king. As Do Man-cheol and his men storm the prison, chaos erupts, and the inmates are thrown into a state of panic. Amidst the turmoil, Kim Ho sees an opportunity to redeem himself and clear his name, now tarnished by his demotion. With his years of martial arts training and unwavering loyalty to the king, Kim Ho takes it upon himself to foil Do Man-cheol's plans and prevent Lee In-jwa's escape. As he confronts the cunning bandit, Kim Ho finds himself drawn into a world of espionage, deceit, and betrayal. Do Man-cheol, a master of manipulation, has woven a complex web of intrigue that threatens to engulf the entire kingdom. Intriguing alliances are forged and broken, and allegiances are tested along the way.

Through a series of intense confrontations with Do Man-cheol and his cohorts, Kim Ho is forced to confront the harsh realities of a world where loyalty is a luxury few can afford. As the stakes grow higher, Kim Ho is driven by a singular purpose: to bring the perpetrators of this prison break to justice and clear his own name.
