With an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a mind inclined to think outside the box, it was only a matter of time before he crossed paths with the brilliant Jang Yeong Sik (Choi Min Sik).&nbsp;

Born a slave, Jang Yeong Sik had no claims to greatness, but his astounding mind and impressive talents eventually earned him a position within the local government.

As time passes, their love of scientific research and invention leads them to form an unusual and completely unprecedented friendship.
