Plot
Dae-Gil Lee (Jang Hyuk), a man of high birth whose family was ruined when Ki-Yoon Won (Yoon Ki-Won), a slave, burnt down his house and escaped with his sister, Un Nyun (Lee Da-Hae), who was in love with Dae-Gil. Driven by his desire for revenge, he survived his harsh years on the street and made his name as a slave hunter, dedicated in his pursuit to find Un Nyun, his first and only love.
Tae-Ha Song (Oh Ji-Ho) is a General of the Army who became a slave after being falsely accused of a crime he did not commit, and finds himself on the run from Dae-Gil's relentless pursuit. Both men become entangled in a love triangle with Un Nyun, who is no longer a runaway slave, but Hye-Won Kim, a nobleman's daughter.
