HEUNG-BOO: THE REVOLUTIONIST

[Machine Translation] Happiness comes to the poor but loving, and damnation to the greedy who do not share their wealth. This is a record of the struggle of a genius writer who fought against maladministration with a single stroke of his pen. Based on the Joseon Dynasty classic "Heungbu Den", which deals with issues of inequality and dissatisfaction with the national government that are still relevant in today's society, the passionate struggle of a time of upheaval has been made into a film on an epic scale! The posthumous work of the famous actor Kim Joo-hyuk. A posthumous work by the great actor Kim Joo-hyuk, Carite Fantastique! Cinema Collection 2019. -- A time when the national government was in shambles due to factional strife for real power in the royal dynasty, and the people, burdened by heavy taxes, were growing increasingly dissatisfied with the state. Heungbu, a writer who has made a name for himself as a sensual novelist, goes to see a man named Hyuk, who claims to know the whereabouts of his brother, who was separated from him when he was a child. Hoon-boo admires Hyuk, who comes from a noble family but is an admirable man who does his best to help the poor people. However, Hyeok's older brother, Han Ni, a high-ranking official of the dynasty, is an ambitious man who plans to use his power to crush the opposing forces. Inspired by these two contrasting characters, Heungbu wrote a satirical novel, "Heungbu's Biography," which quickly spread throughout the Joseon Dynasty. The novel quickly spread throughout Joseon and won the hearts of the people, but soon Heungbu became embroiled in a rebellion that would determine the future of the country.
