June 2019 ... one afternoon in Seoul. The beautiful and sweet chef was waiting for the bus with some of her friends, at the hotel where they worked. Nam Jang Mi was having a conversation with Kang Soo Hwan, one of the marketing staff who liked Jang Mi. When they were chatting, suddenly a portal opened and immediately pulled Jang Mi, Soo Hwan, and her two friends, Ru Na and Myung Eun. They could do nothing but ask for help, but no one could help the four people. People were walking and passing around the bus stop, they were shocked to see the portal is open, then they quickly fled away from the portal. They panicked and feared, Jang Mi screamed very loudly, and so did Ru Na. "Somebody ... please help us!!" No matter how loud they screamed for help, no one cared, their efforts were in vain. Who could save them from the portal's immense power? Jang Mi didn't expect that her life would change after passing through a mysterious portal with her three friends. They were transported back to the Joseon Dynasty in the 18th century. In a palace, Minister Jung Eui Gyo was very surprised because the enemy he faces was so strong, the veiled person wanted to get rid of him to another dimension by opening a portal.

The dark tunnel of time was so long, that they felt even more afraid and panicked. A few moments later, they were finally thrown very loudly from the passage of time accompanied by a groan of Jang Mi, who fell right in front of two strangers dressed as in the Joseon Dynasty era. "Ouch ... it hurts so much!!" "Ouch ... my head is dizzy." Ru Na said softly while holding her head. While Jang Mi and Soo Hwan were unconscious, Minister Jeong was shocked and confused, because in front of him, appeared some people that he didn't know at all. The man who attacked Minister Jeong then immediately ran away from them, and forgot to close the portal he had opened earlier. Ahn Ru Na was stunned when she looked around her, she thought maybe now she was on a colossal drama filming location, that usually took place at Daeyangbokgung Palace. Where is this? Why am I in this place? It's like a colossal drama shooting location. Ru Na thought. Ru Na got up slowly from where she had fallen, her legs hurting from a very strong throw. Behind Ru Na, the portal was still gaping as if it wanted to eat them. Ru Na staggered away from the portal and then approached Myung Eun and Soo Hwan who were still unconscious. "Myung Eun... Soo Hwan... please wake up, I'm scare." Ru Na's face is panic, nervous and scared. Ru Na...help me, Ru Na...." Jang Mi called softly. Ru Na immediately turned to the direction of the voice, her eyes searching for Jang Mi in the darkness. The night was dark and dense, there was no moonlight at all. "Ru Na..." called Jang Mi again. "Sis Jang Mi, where are you? I can't see you," said Ru Na. "I'm here, Ru Na." "Wait, I'll turn on the flashlight of the cellphone first." Ru Na replied then she opened her bag and looked for the cellphone. It wasn't long before Ru Na managed to find her cell phone and quickly turned on the flashlight, so she could see Jang Mi more clearly. "Fortunately, my cellphone didn't off in this place, after helping Jang Mi and others, I will call Sung Byul to pick us up." Ru Na muttered, she smiled hopefully. Ru Na turned on the flashlight around, then she found Jang Mi was sitting near the palace pillar, it seemed that Jang Mi was thrown faster than her friends. "Sis Jang Mi! What happen to you?!" asked Ru Na in shock. Ru Na was very surprised to see Jang Mi's condition sitting on the pillar, she was so weak and helpless. Ru Na rushed to her friend with all the strength she still had. "Sis, you calm down... I will call Sung Byul to pick us up here, how do you feel now?" asked Ru Na softly. "I don't know, Ru Na. I feel all sick and nauseous." "You wait here for a moment, okay. I want to see Soo Hwan and Myung Eun, they fainted," explained Ru Na. "Is there no one here at all? How come we are in a place like this? Where is this?!" Jang Mi suddenly panicked. Before Ru Na could answer Jang Mi's question, suddenly a group of people dressed as royal soldiers appeared with spears and arrows in their hands. The soldiers were about to attack Jang Mi and Ru Na, behind them two foreign men stood laughing very loud. They then shouted to the soldiers. "Soldiers! Capture them all!" "The enemy or enemy spies must be caught and severely punished!" "Who are you and what did we do wrong?! Listen, we are neither enemies nor spies of the enemy!" shouted Ru Na loudly. "You guys are still trying to dodge?! Aren't you guys enemies of the kingdom?! Look at those clothes you're wearing, where are you from?" asked one of the two foreign men. "Miss, it's better for you and your friends to surrender. If you want to surrender to us, maybe the king will forgive you or at least give you a light sentence. How about it, Miss?" another foreign man asked. "I don't want to give myself up! Quick, get us out of here!" asked Ru Na. "Ru Na, it's better if we just give up," said Jang Mi quietly. "But, Sis, what if they punish us? I don't want my life to end in this place, a place that is very foreign to me." "Miss, you talk too much, you see. Soldiers, quickly catch them and bring them before the king!" commanded the foreign man with the white beard. Without further ado, the soldiers immediately caught Jang Mi, Ru Na, and her two friends who were starting to wake up from their fainting. They brought the four employees of the Moonbich Hotel by force and cruelty. Jang Mi was forced to surrender because she felt helpless, while Ru Na tried her best to fight back. Soo Hwan and Myung Eun, who knew nothing at all were struggling when they were captured by the royal soldiers. No matter how they escaped each other still couldn't fight back, their next fate laid in the hands of King Yi Seok Hwan and Queen Myung. *****.
