About This DVD

This is a story exploring the moral of a trader and the value of the wealth. The popular writer Choi In Ho tells a story about the legendary Korean merchant in Joseon Dynasty, Im Sang-ok (1779-1855).

This drama is from the makers of 'Huh Joon', a drama that took place long time ago starring Jun Gwang Yuhl. Whereas 'Huh Joon' centered on the medical-herbal world, 'Sang Do' centers on the merchant's world. Lee Jae Rong is a young man that aspires to be a translator of Korean-Chinese. He is of poor origins, and his dad strictly teaches him Chinese so that he can become a translator, and climb up the social ladder.

Kim Hyun Joo is Lee Sun Jae's daughter, and is the leader of a merchant's circle, odd for a female at the time. Kim Hyun Joo asks Lee Jae Rong to work with her, but he refuses constantly, but things change and his aspiration changes when Kim Hyun Joo's dad betrays him and his father. Lee Jae Rong's father is killed. On the other hand, though, Lee Jae Rong-Kim Hyun Joo-Kim Yoo Mi become lovers as this drama continues. Kim Hyun Joo and Lee Jae Rong become somewhat 'forbidden' lovers.
