To rescue Korean captives who have been tragically abducted by Japanese pirates.
Go Youn Jung’s Challenging New Character: Ae Ryeong
Go Youn Jung is set to portray Ae Ryeong, a determined and strong-willed woman whose life is irrevocably altered by a brutal attack by Japanese pirates, costing her family and leaving her younger sibling captive on Tsushima Island.
