Youthful love and destiny beginning at Gwanghanru Pavilion in Namwon during the Joseon Dynasty.
About
Namwon in the late Joseon Dynasty, three days before the Dano festival.
People gather at Gwanghanru Pavilion to enjoy the last bits of spring, and the marketplace is filled with the voices of merchants.
A noble young master and a brilliant young woman, a sly servant and a cheerful maid, a scholar preparing for the exams, a government clerk, a merchant leading an inn, and a courtesan dreaming of her own life.
Youths from different walks of life encounter one another in Namwon.
Some dream of love, some wish to avoid marriage, and others seek to change their status and destiny.
Changes Blowing into Namwon
Connections that began at Gwanghanru Pavilion deepen through accidental meetings on market days, exchanged letters, and noble marriage talks.
However, the news of the Namwon Magistrate's transfer to Hanyang and the arrival of a new governor begins to shake the lives of the townspeople.
Family opposition, status differences, arranged marriages, unjust orders from the office, and unfair lawsuits.
Whose side will you take? Whom will you trust? Whom will you stand with?

Intro
Late Joseon Dynasty · May 2nd (Lunar Calendar) | Hour of the Horse (Approx. 11:00 AM) | Namwon-dohobu, Jeolla Province, in front of Gwanghanru Pavilion
The early summer sunlight settled upon the tiled roof of Gwanghanru Pavilion. Between the sound of wind chimes swaying from the eaves and the breeze brushing the pond, the laughter of people could be heard.
Namwon, three days before Dano, was busy from the morning. Beside the pavilion, workers were pulling ropes to set up a swing, and merchants from the marketplace laid out rice cakes, fans, and ornaments.
In the shade of a willow tree below Gwanghanru. Hyangdan returned at a quick pace, holding up the hem of her skirt.
Miss! They say they've tied the swing ropes very firmly this time. There will be so many people on Dano that I don't know if we'll even get a turn.
