While the Six Flying Dragons star will be playing the role of a rebel thief named Hong Gil-dong, the Spy actress will be portraying his lover, Song Ga-ryung. Other lead cast members in the mini-series include Kim Ji-suk as King Yeonsangun, Lee Ha-nui as Jang Nok-su and Kim Sang-joong as Hong-Ah Mo-gae.
The period drama is roughly based on a popular Korean legend that revolves around the life of an insurgent, who becomes a rebellion and fights for justice. His moves against bloodthirsty King Yeonsangun and his violent regime land him into trouble.
A promo for the MBC series indicates that despite being a traitor, the rebel thief will be loved by the people and the King will be remembered as a traitor. It also hints at betrayal and bloodshed in the premiere episode.
Apart from its lead cast members, the period drama will also feature Kim Jung-tae, Lee Jun-hyeok, Shin Eun-jung, Park Jun-gyu, Ahn Nae-sang, Hwang Seok-jeong, Kim Byeong-ok and Seo Yi-sook in supporting roles.
