The King's Warden Posters Reveal Park Ji-hoon as Dethroned Danjong
According to Soompi, 'The King's Warden' marks the first South Korean film to focus exclusively on the hidden narrative of King Danjong. As Joseon's 6th king, he ascended the throne at the tender age of 12 but was soon overthrown by his power-hungry uncle, Grand Prince Suyang.
