However, when Buddhist monks, dissatisfied with the tyranny of the government, rose up in rebellion, temples across the country were subjected to a massive crackdown. Kim Jun, who was taken in by the temple as a baby and raised as Musang, an apprentice monk, is arrested by Choi Yang-baek's guardians of the capital, and is discovered to be the son of a servant who escaped from Choi Chun-hong's mansion. Kim Jun escapes execution on the advice of Choi Chun Hong's granddaughter Song Yi, but his skill at playing the ball caught the attention of Choi Woo, Choi Chun Hong's eldest son and Song Yi's father, who took him in as a vassal. While the Mongols, who had built a large empire in the north, invaded Goryeo, Kim Jun gained the trust of Choi Woo, who had succeeded to the military government, and became an active member of his entourage. Kim Joon eventually overthrows the hereditary Choi Woo regime and rises to the top of the Mushin regime.... Includes episodes 33-44. 16-page booklet.
