Strongest Chil-woo

During the tumultuous reign of King Injo (1623-1649) of Joseon-era Korea, Chil-woo witnesses the brutal murder of his family and village at the hands of the government.  As an adult, Chil-woo joins the Uigeumbu, a governmental body in charge of investigating injustices.  But when tragedy visits his life once again, he becomes an avenger, hunting down those who have wronged the innocent.

Directed by Sang-yeon Park, Strongest Chil-woo leans on a strong ensemble — Eric Mun, Koo Hye-sun, Yoo Ah-in — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
