What if a 2,000-year-old 'myth' rewrote Korean history? This doc goes there.
As the historical community regards the marriage voyage of the 'Indian Princess, Heo Hwang Ok' 2,000 years ago as a myth or a legend, the roots of 8 million descendants, including the Kim and Heo clans in Gimhae are always shaken, and the beginning of Gaya Buddhism as well as the history of Gaya are pushed back hundreds of years. The documentary traces the three-day honeymoon record of 'Indian Princess Heo Hwang Ok' in the Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms, drawing a unique historical reality in a scientific way that no one has predicted or attempted to try before.

Director Jin Jae-un treats the Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms not as hagiography but as documentary source material—radically recontextualizing Buddhist historiography.
