[Machine Translation] Fate plays tricks with "kizuna" (bonds). Two men whose lives have been switched are forced to confront their destiny and live out their lives in this moving and inevitable human drama! The latest "Korean period drama" blockbuster from mega-hit maker PAN ENTERTAINMENT, which also produced "Winter Sonata" and "The Great Legacy"! The cast includes Jung Jung-myung and Lee Sang-yun in the lead roles. At the end of the Joseon Dynasty, amidst a time of political corruption, bureaucratic corruption, and people struggling to make ends meet, two boys are born on the same day and at the same time. One is Gidong, the son of a nobleman, and the other is Chongdong, the son of a beggar. However, Gidong's mother passed away after a difficult delivery. Gidong's mother, Mak-soon, enters the house as Gidong's nanny. While working in the house of a rival gang in another village, she was pregnant with the son of the master with whom she was having an affair, and she ran away with another servant, Sedol, who was also in love with her, to the anger of the master's wife. Wanting to make her own child, who was born of lowly birth, happy, she swaps Gidong for Chung-dong. The two grow up not knowing the secret of their origin, but an incident brings them together and they form a strong bond. After being separated by a civil war, Gidong becomes a general of a captured school (today's police), and Chung-doong becomes a righteous rebel who rehabilitates the world. Both of them are devoted to Dong-nyo, the proprietress of the inn, and they become "partners" in their fight against evil and injustice, transcending the disparity in status.... When the hidden truth about their birth is revealed, what will their fates be? What will become of their love and friendship? And what is the shocking ending? This is a superb entertaining period drama that portrays a passionate man's way of life. Chapter 3 contains episodes 17 through 24. Commentary booklet included.
