About

The Joseon Dynasty. Dongmin, a general, led his troops in haste to repel the Japanese invaders when war broke out. Leaving behind his wife, whom he had only recently married, his feet felt heavy with every step away from home. Yet, after comforting his sobbing wife who tried to hold him back, he departed. Shortly after he left for the battlefield, his letters—which used to arrive three or four times a week—suddenly stopped. Since that day, Guest spent countless days and nights in tears, praying and praying for her husband's safe return. After five months of silence, just as her anxiety was reaching its peak, a rumor began to spread through the streets of Hanyang. It was the news that he was returning home in victory. Upon returning from the battlefield, he went straight to Hanyang to report to the King, and then immediately headed for the home where his wife would be waiting. He believed that her warmth alone would wash away all his exhaustion.
