The King’s Warden Trailer: Park Ji Hoon and Yoo Hae Jin Face Off Against Yoo Ji Tae

A throne stolen, a life exiled, and a loyal protector who won't back down. The upcoming film The King’s Warden has just dropped its first trailer, offering a haunting look at Joseon's most tragic monarch. It's the first Korean film to place the hidden story of King Danjong front and center.

The King’s Warden Park Ji Hoon Trailer: A Heart-Wrenching Transformation

The trailer showcases Park Ji Hoon as the young king who ascended the throne at age 12. His portrayal of Danjong—stripped of his crown and exiled by his own uncle—is already generating buzz for its raw emotional depth. Standing by the dethroned king is Yoo Hae Jin, playing a warden whose loyalty is tested in the harshest conditions.

On the opposing side, Yoo Ji Tae commands the screen as Grand Prince Suyang. His cold, ambitious gaze in the teaser sets the stage for a high-stakes power struggle that promises more than just a history lesson.

Why This Historical Drama is Different

While King Danjong's dethronement is a well-known historical event, The King's Warden focuses on the undocumented bonds formed during his exile in Cheongnyeongo. The film isn't just about political intrigue; it's a story of survival and human connection against the backdrop of a ruthless era.
