Korea-Khitan War

Court Lady Choi orders the men to burn down Mount Samgak to find Prince Daeryangwon.

Surrounded by both avarice and allegiance, the loyal are on the verge of unfolding a new chapter in Goryeo.

The puppet king is ensnared in the conflict between those preparing for war and those trying to avert it.

The ministers struggle to dissuade the Khitan envoys as Prince Daeryangwon expected; he believes that Khitan is using the Palace Head Secretary's treason to justify the war.

The battle between Goryeo and Khitan begins in the middle of the night; the people of Goryeo shiver with fear; with 400,000 soldiers, Khitan attacks Heunghwajin for seven days straight.

The Emperor of Khitan is infuriated as he loses the first conquest expedition he is leading; he starts advancing south with his army towards Samsuchae to destroy Goryeo's main force.

The spearhead commander of the Khitan army launches an attack and captures Kang-jo; the emperor of Khitan threatens Kang-jo and the captured generals to become vassals of Khitan.

Deputy Mayor Won of Seogyeong Fortress gives up on fighting against Khitan and is about to surrender.

Deputy Minister Kang successfully deceives the Emperor of Khitan and returns to Gaegyeong to relay the news to Hyeonjong; the chancellors are not pleased as they believe he took the chance to negotiate with the Khitans.

As the Khitans advance southward, Kang Gam-chan urges Wang-sun to consider a strategic withdrawal for a greater purpose.

Alone in Gaegyeong, Kang Gam Chan makes the fateful decision to buy precious time for Wang Sun's escape.

The realization of the hardships encountered by those south of Gaegyeong leaves Wang-sun with a sense of emptiness; the difficulties they face highlight his shortcomings as a king, evoking a deep sense of disappointment in himself.

Seeing his people turn against him, Wang Sun feels shame for not being the emperor they needed.

Upon reaching Gongju, Wang-sun receives a warm welcome from Kim Eun-boo, the governor, and one of his daughters; Wang-sun discerns a hidden agenda in the daughter's intentions but soon recognizes her potential.

Yang Kyu, fully aware that this might be his final battle, throws himself into the Khitan army to rescue prisoners.

Despite facing opposition, Wang Sun is determined to reform the fundamental issue that has plagued Goryeo.

In the face of strong opposition, Wang-sun persists in pursuing his goals, alongside Kim Eun-boo; Kang Gam-chan, while sharing Wang-sun's ultimate objective, disagrees with his approach and goes to great lengths to persuade him otherwise.

Empress Wonjeong arrests the Deputy Minister of Punishments, and Kang Gam Chan thinks of a way to stop her.

Following Kang Gam Chan's guidance, Wang Sun successfully rescues Kim Eun Boo, his most devoted vassal.

Wang Sun risks his life in a tense face-off with regional lords, where two formidable powers of Goryeo clash.

The Khitans demand that Goryeo cede its territories to prevent another war, turning a tribute issue into a crucial decision for Goryeo.

Wang Sun readies for war as Kim Eun Boo, risking his life, tries to update him on the Khitans' status.

At the northeastern border's edge, Kang Gam Chan faces an ominous clash with the relentless Jurchens.

Kim Hoon and Choi Jil initiate a rebellion, citing Goryeo's decision to take their property as justification.

Kim Hoon and Choi Jil threaten Wang Sun's vassals, demanding the soldiers heading to Gaegyeong retreat.

Wang-sun successfully pursues and apprehends Park Jin, but he is constrained by his own lack of authority.

The vassals who have received Wang Sun's orders prepare themselves to eliminate the rebels at Seogyeong.

Wang-sun eradicates the rebel faction and prepares for war against the Khitans; in 1018, the final and decisive battle between Goryeo and the Khitans draws near.

The Khitan Army's suspicious maneuvers entail avoiding Goryeo forces and relentlessly advancing southward.

With his remaining soldiers, vassals, and the people of Goryeo, Wang Sun ventures beyond the fortress walls.

The culmination of the war sees Goryeo emerging triumphant over the Khitans; Kang Gam-chan's return is a scene of jubilation, with the citizens of Gaegyeong celebrating his victory.
