engineer. At the Blue House, Yoon-Sung meets Kim Na-Na (

who works as a bodyguard there. The two people fall for each other even
though Yoon-Sung was warned not to fall in love. An elaborate plan for
revenge is his ultimate mission ....
Lee Jin-Pyo (
Kim Sang-Jung) and Park Moo-Yul (

worked as bodyguards at the South Korean President's home the Blue
House.
While the president and other high ranking public officials were
visiting Myanmar an explosion occurs there set off by North Korean
agents. The explosion did not harm the South Korean President, but other
South Korean officials were killed. To retaliate for the killing, five
high ranking South Korean officials plan a covert operation to go into
North Korea and kill North Korean agents. Without the president's
knowledge, bodyguards Lee Jin-Pyo and Park Moo-Yul gather men who will
take part in the dangerous mission. The men will be dropped near the
North Korean coastline and then enter North Korea to carryout their
assassinations. For their return, Choi Eung-Chan (
Cheon Ho-Jin) promises to have a submarine waiting for them to carry them back to South Korea.
Meanwhile, the five high ranking South Korean public officers,
who initiated the covert operation, changes their minds while the
operation is taking place. The officials decide to give up on the 21
special force members taking part in the covert operation.
The special forces members complete their tasks and swim into the
ocean looking for the submarine to take them back to South Korea. They
spot the submarine waiting for them and attempt to board the submarine. A
sniper on the submarine kills all of the special forces members except
Lee Jin-Pyo - who survives and swims back to South Korea.
Lee Jin-Pyo, carrying out a promise to his fallen comrade and
good friend Park Moo-Yul, goes to Park Moo-Yul's home and snatches away
Moo-Yul's baby, while Moo-Yul's wife hangs clothes outside. Lee Jin-Pyo
then moves to Thailand with the baby. Lee Jin-Pyo sets up a camp in the
jungles of Thailand, while growing and trafficking illegal narcotics.
Jin-Pyo also raises the baby Lee Yun-Seong and eventually trains him
into an elite soldier.
Lee Yun-Seong, now a young adult, enters a village in Thailand and spots a Korean man, Bae Sik-Joong (
Kim Sang-Ho),
being shaken down by Thai gang members. On a whim, Lee Yun-Seong comes
to his aide and helps Bae Sik-Joong escape. Lee Yun-Seong takes the
Korean man back their camp. It turns out Bae Sik-Joong is quite a cook
and he prepares dishes for Lee Yun-Seung and Lee Jin-Pyo. Lee Yun-Seong
also spots a photo of a young woman named Kim Na-Na that Bae Sik-Joong
carries with him. Lee Yun-Seong takes the photo and places it next to
his bed. He becomes emotionally attached to the woman in the photo even
though he has never met her.
A few days later, Lee Jin-Pyo loses a foot while saving Lee
Yun-Seung from a landmine. While Lee Jin-Pyo is recovering, he finally
tells Lee Yun-Seung about his birth father and how he was killed by his
own government. Lee Jin-Pyo then vows to exact revenge upon the five
government officials responsible for his father's death.
Seven years later, Lee Yun-Seo finally arrives in South Korea.
Prior to arriving in South Korea, Lee Yun-Seo studied at M.I.T. in the
United States. He was also warned by Lee Jin-Pyo, prior to entering
South Korea, to avoid falling in love because blood will be shed all
around him ...
