Dear Hongrang (2025) | Park Hyung-sik, Jeon So-nee

“Letters weigh more than swords when the truth is sharp enough to cut.”

Joseon, 1798. Crown-scholar Hongrang (Park Hyung-sik) is presumed slain in a palace coup, yet orphan calligrapher Moon Seol (Jeon So-nee) keeps finding midnight notes stamped with his jade seal.

Ink-scent trails lead her into a covert courier web of lantern kites , roof-crawl tunnels and coded poems foretelling each minister’s “accidental” demise . Tiger-mask assassins stalk lotus marshes as the duo decode cherry-blossom parchment, duel with brush-blades, and skate across frozen rivers to outpace royal guards.

Every answered letter drags them deeper: expose the regent’s blood-tax conspiracy or watch the provinces burn. An eclipse festival looms —and to rescue a kingdom, they must finish the final stroke with their own hearts .
