Raksha1

On a special day when it is said that spirits come to visit the living, eighteen year-old Kim Yoon-Yi gets sent into the past.

Year 1452 is a year of turmoil. At the Joseon court the King, a Prince and Ministers battle for power. Neither wants to give in, using whatever means possible to best each other. There is nothing one wouldn't be willing to do when a single wrong step can mean either great success or swift demise. 

While young Yoon-Yi learns to adapt and survive in this new and dangerous environment, she finds a bond that is stronger than time itself: love. For her it was a first love born in the past, for him it is something he cherishes in the present. But what about the future? Will Yoon-Yi's presence in that age trigger unfathomable changes, or will destiny follow its course unhindered?

In the first week of June, the Joseon court was planning to receive an envoy from Ming. No one  but the King knew the true purpose of the visit. But regardless of what the reason was, the country still had to receive the important visitor like he was royalty. After all, the envoy was a direct representative of the Ming Imperial court. Based on the rumors, he was also the emperor's second uncle.

As a consequence, the moment the news was released, both ministers and officials, aristocrats and commoners, all started to prepare for the occasion.

In order to make the visit all the more memorable for the envoy, and thus raise Joseon's image as a civilized and powerful country, King Sejo planned to organize a Baet Nori festivity during the first week of the envoy's visit. During one of those days there will also be a large banquet, in order to celebrate the arrival of the foreign dignitary.
