A significant moment in Korean history, one that will always be remembered, is depicted in this captivating historical drama, which marks its centenary. In 1919, amid the Japanese colonial era, two pivotal occurrences set the stage for Korea's liberation: the March 1st Movement and the formation of the Korean Provisional Government. Alongside these events emerged a clandestine group dedicated to the cause of freedom, known as the Heroic Corps. Both historically and in the narrative, the leader of this corps is referred to as Kim Won Bong, a name known only to a select few. He seldom remains in one location for over two hours and takes only brief rests. Driven by intense passion, he moves swiftly, dreaming of his nation's freedom. Meanwhile, Lee Young Jin, a Korean woman raised by a Japanese military physician, follows in her adoptive father's footsteps and, through various circumstances, gains admission to a prestigious medical school in Shanghai. Upon her return to Joseon, she becomes the first female surgeon. The paths of these two individuals intersect, and despite their differing beliefs, Won Bong soon recognizes the value of her presence and begins to regret sending her deep into hostile territory. Together, they navigate challenges, sometimes running, sometimes stumbling, but always rising again to pursue their aspirations. Carrying the weight of the historical struggles that influenced Korea's independence, they aspire to ensure that the past is never forgotten.
