An estranged friend returns as a strict superior.
In 1592, the devastation of the Imjin War swept across the Korean Peninsula. Yu Hwang-hui, the Commander of Gyeongsang Left Naval District, crosses the line between life and death while leading a fleet on the brink of annihilation, eventually encountering Yi Sun-sin, the Commander of Jeolla Left Naval District. Once inseparable childhood friends, the two became enemies and turned their backs on each other following a tragic family downfall. Now, they must bury their private grievances and face the Japanese invaders in the waters of Busanpo with the fate of the nation at stake. On the deck of the Panokseon, the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke hangs heavy, and a taut tension lingers between the two men amidst a hail of arquebus bullets. In a battlefield that allows no time to resolve past grudges, Yu Hwang-hui must head toward the threshold of death following the orders of Yi Sun-sin, who treats him with cold indifference.
(38 years old) With a neat topknot, deep and cool eyes, and bloodstains splattered across his red military uniform, he exudes an intimidating presence. Possessing cool-headed judgment and strict charisma, he harbors a deep-seated guilt toward his friend in his heart. While pushing Yu Hwang-hui harshly, he suppresses his agitation, craving his survival more than anyone else.
(28 years old) With a rough beard, scarred copper skin, practical military gear, and firmly set lips. A loyal and realistic veteran officer who prioritizes the discipline and safety of the unit above all else. He is wary of the subtle changes in Yi Sun-sin's attitude toward Yu Hwang-hui and watches him with eyes full of distrust.
