Synopsis Korean Drama Tree With Deep Roots

At the beginning of his reign, King Se Jong accidentally causes the death of his in-laws and their slaves to save them from his brutal father, King Tae Jong. Two young slaves, Ddol Bok and his friend Dam, survive, but no one knows that the other has done it. Ddol Bok accuses the king and vows to kill him to avenge the death of anyone he loved. He spends several years becoming a great warrior. Dam, who has a photographic memory, becomes a court lady named So Yi, who feels so guilty about her role in the death of the other slaves that she is dumb.
Ddol Bok returns to the palace under the name Kang Chae Yoon to kill the king. However, he is implicated in the mystery of the deaths of several scholars of the Hall of Worthies. The deaths were caused by a secret society called "Hidden Root", founded long ago by supporters of Jeong Do Jeon, with the aim of giving ministers more power and less power to the king. King Tae Jong killed Jeong Do Jeon and his entire family, with the exception of his nephew Jeong Gi Joon, who is now the leader of Hidden Root and does not live far from King Se Jong.
