Upon reading the report by the commander, she soon uncovers that the commander and his army were the ones who led the tribes to fight with each other.


The arrow tail of one of the Joseon men who left the camp to get ready for battle matched the one that had killed the Jurchen men from the other side of the river. She saw something that led her to believe that she had been betrayed. She later complies and sets the camp on fire before going back to the camp only to find more reoccurring questions. At that moment, she fulfills his final wish ending his misery. Ashin embraces her father, while he calls out her name, and tears stream down his face. But, he begs his daughter to kill him instead, insisting there’s nothing left to live for. She tries to breaks the chain while she weeps and promises to save him. Yup, she finds her father, with a label traitor rounding on his neck, and his limbs are cut off. Little did she know, she uncovers something frightful. One night, Ashin receives an order to go to the Pajeowi’s territory to gather some information about the war. One night, the deputy commander knows about it, but he does nothing but let the assaulter go. A soldier even routinely sexually assaulted her by abusing his power and authority as a Joseon soldier. We can clearly see the manipulative and deceiving sides of the Joseon armies. Like daughter like father, her first mission from the commander (years later) is to spy on the military camp of Pajeowi. She begins to do odd jobs such as doing laundry, taking care of the pigs while training relentlessly by herself. They place her in a military settlement, living in the pig cage while being the only woman in the all-men territory. Seeing her tenaciously begging, the commander orders the camp to take care of her. She meets the commander and begs for a chance to avenge her family. Being the only survivor of the village, Ashin paddles her boat to cross the border where Joseon’s army is.

She encounters all the dead bodies who were hanged, including her younger siblings. Upon returning to her village, she finds that the whole village has been slaughtered and burned to the ground by the Pajeowi military. On her way back, she stumbles upon a dead body with a brown feather air bow. The night after her father goes to the land of Pajeowi, Ashin goes to the deep forest to find the resurrection flower. What happens to Ashin after her father’s disappearance? But due to the hopes of building a better life for his ill wife and community, he paddles the boat to the other side of the land, only to find no way back. Of course, Ashin’s father knows the cost of the lies that he has to bear. He abuses Ta-ban’s loyalty by ordering him to go to the Pajeowi and tell them that their people are killed by the tiger. To prevent the rebellion act of Pajeowi, the commander went straight to the border village. The deputy commander of the Chupajin group, Min Chi Rok (Park Byung-eun), investigates and then later goes to the Jurchen tribe to do some damage control, seeing that tensions are running high between the tribes and the monarchy. The Chupajin group, who is in charge of protecting the border, claims that a tiger attacks them. Pajeowi are known for being excellent martial artists, so it only needs less than 1,000 Pajeowi soldiers to wipe out the armies. It was later revealed how they all die unexpectedly.
Whats life like in the kingdom of the dead series#
But, he does this hoping that the king will grant his tribe and their land a governmental status, which never happens.Įverything turns into a series of tragic events when fifteen of Pajeowi Jurchen men go to Pyesa-gun, the forbidden area, and never return. He devoted himself to the King of Joseon for his generosity in giving his people a piece of land. He was one of the few who had settled in Joseon. He did not go to cross the border as the rest of the Jurchen did. Gianna Jun portrays Ashin, a Jurchen, who holds the pivotal role in causing the death and chaos in Joseon.Īshin’s father was a Jurchen himself. For information, Jurchens were people who belonged to one of the last dynasties of China before the Mongol conquest. The spins-off episode travels back to the time when Joseon faced a possible invasion from Japan on one side and Jurchens on the other.
