Born to a nobleman and a servant, Hong Gil-dong is brilliant, skilled — and forbidden to call his own father "father." Driven from home, he becomes the leader of a band of righteous outlaws who outwit corrupt officials across Joseon.
One of Korea's best-loved tales, told in panels full of disguises, clever escapes, and a hero who refuses to accept the place he was born into.
