Synopsis
Reclusive mountain man rescues abused servant, treats him as wife, faces return threat.
"You bought me for 50 sacks of rice? Why would you do that?" "I thought you might end up dead if I didn't." Hidden deep in the mountains from prying eyes, the burly Bong-chun lives in seclusion. Bong-chun buys and rescues Sun-gap, a servant boy who is beaten almost to death by his master. Sun-gap is bewildered by Bong-chun, who treats him with unexpected kindness, calling him his wife and not putting him to any hard work. As Sun-gap begins to enjoy the peace with Bong-chun, feeling relieved to have finally escaped his old master's house, a man appears, claiming he has come to take him back. (Source: Laftel)
