Based on the manhwa by Bang Hak-gi (published daily by Sports Seoul from June 1985 to June 1988), the drama series had a budget of US$14 million and its story depicts the loves, friendships and patriotism of young Korean independence fighters in 1930s Shanghai.[4]

Plot[edit]

A story of violence, love and friendship that travels between Korea, China and Japan in the 1930s.

Shin Jung-tae (Kim Hyun-joong) loses his father at the age of 15 when a Japanese soldier shoots him during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in the 1930s. But instead of finding justice, Jung-tae is accused of his own father’s death. Jung-tae finds justice only by using his fists in the back alleys of Shanghai, growing up to become the best fighter on the continent.
