At first, the public is horrified by the news, and Dae Kyung (Oh Dal Soo), the head of an accident response team, arrives at the scene, where he is able to make contact with Lee Jung Soo. The rescuers believe that Lee Jung Soo is the only survivor, and, at first, make desperate but fruitless attempts to save him. His wife Se Hyun (Bae Doo Na) is also able to communicate with him, and Lee Jung Soo discovers he may not be the only person to be trapped in the rubble. But as the rescue mission drags on – and threatens to compromise the construction of another major tunnel, some politicians start to question whether it is worth continuing the search…

But time passes and with it comes the blessings of marriage and family. Father to a son, King Yeongjo has great plans for his young prince. Hoping his son will follow in his footsteps, the King does everything in his power to give his son a thorough education. Watching his son grow into a man, the King begins to see some less-than-desirable qualities emerge. Shunning his education, Crown Prince Sado (Yoo Ah In) shows more interest in art and swordplay than studying. As the schism between father and son grows, so does the general sense of unrest within the palace.

Thirty-five years into his father’s reign, Crown Prince Sado is accused of plotting treason. Though unable to carry through with the final, killing blow, the Prince must be punished. Realizing the implications of fathering a traitor could threaten his position, King Yeongjo orders his son to take his own life. Unwilling to follow his father’s orders, the King orders his son to be locked in a wooden rice chest and left in the palace courtyard to die a slow and agonizing death.&nbsp;
