Plot summary

The Qing, fighting the Ming for control of China, demand that King Injo of Joseon bow to their ruler. He refuses, keeping his loyalty to the Ming, and on December 14, 1636, the Qing army invades. The king and his court take cover inside the mountain fortress of Namhansanseong, cut off from the rest of the kingdom, while the garrison under Lee Shi-baek holds the walls through the cold. Injo's advisers split into two factions over how to answer the Qing. Choi Myung-kil, who leads one, argues for negotiation. Kim Sang-hun, who leads the other, insists that the kingdom keep fighting. Injo is caught between them.
