After the declaration of independence from Japanese colonization, the dispute and fight between the left-wing and the right-wing parties intensified. Then on October 1948, the Yeosun Rebellion breaks out, which remains as a crucial part of Korean history of turmoil. Yum Sang-jin and other leftists dominated Bulgyo and purged the opposition force until they retreated to Jogye Mountain to avoid the rebels' attack. The right-wing party including the police force that returned to the village inspected the leftists and their families. Yum Sang-gu, the head inspector of Daedong Youth Party, misbehaves because of his rage against his older brother, Yum Sang-jin. His raping of the wife of communist Kang Dong-jin is just the beginning of his egregious actions. On the other hand, Jung Ha-sup, a director of the faction sneaks into Shaman Sohwa's house and Sohwa and Jung fall in love as she helps him out doing petty things for him. Kim Bum-woo is a teacher at Soonchun Middle School and a democrat. He criticizes both the right and left-wing parties. However, it is he who's being accused of being a communist and experiences hardships. The party of Yum Sang-jin dominates Yool-eo as an area under rebel control and directors of the punitive force Shim Jae-mo and Kim Bum-woo begin to realize the upcoming hardship in the country. They try to practice rational and logical policy but powerful forces in the nation show strong opposition.less
