“The Fatal Encounter”

“The Fatal Encounter” is
focusing on the story of politically embattled King Jeongjo (nicknamed the King of Misfortune), his dedicated servant Sang-chaek, and nefarious courtiers and assassins.

As the year 1777 opens, King Jeongjo enters the second year of his reign, which is consistently under threat from the opposing Noron and Soron factions. To successfully defend his royal power, Jeongjo draws upon his stores of courage and relies heavily on his loyal servant Sang-chaek. In a shocking twist, Sang-chaek turns out to be an assassin who was sent into service in order to kill Jeongjo. After witnessing King Jeongjo’s capacity to justly rule the people, however, Sang-chaek comes clean about his true identity, and is banished from the court. As he leaves the palace, however, his eye catches sight of Sal-soo, the deadliest assassin in Joseon. Sang-chaek frantically returns to the court, only to find Sal-soo locked in combat with Jeongjo.

”The Fatal Encounter” is based on the real-life assassination attempt on King Jeongjo (1752-1800) on the night of July 28th, 1777. On that fateful night, Jeongjo was unable to sleep and tried to soothe his mind by reading late into the night. When he suddenly heard a sound in the ceiling, he quickly called his servants to investigate. To their shock, they captured an assassin hiding in the eaves. That night’s assassination attempt became one of the most infamous in the 500-year history of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897).
