What Is Song Of The Bandits Series About?
Song Of The Bandits is a period drama, drenched in lore and action. It is set in the early 90s, amid the tumultuous period of Japanese occupation and portrays the helplessness inflicted by the era. Due to the sudden disbalance in the economic sector, the people of Joseon, are expelled to Japan and left to endure a life of misery. They wander around aimlessly, famished to their bones and deprived of basic necessities. Some find a place for themselves in the turbulent times, while others are left cursing their fate.
Those people who are expelled to Gando, a land void of any rules and regulations, face a similar situation, only worse in terms of helplessness. One such soldier, Lee Yoon (Kim Nam-gil), too, joins the people in Gando and establishes himself as a bandit upon witnessing the distorted condition of those around him. Meanwhile, an independent activist, Nam Hee-shin (Seohyun) stumbles across Yoon and becomes his partner. However, she camouflages her true identity by pretending to be the head of the Railway Bureau.
Song Of The Bandits Season 2 Plot
As the bandits gear up to protect Gando, a major general Gwang Il begins expanding his reach into the town. However, despite his ruthless persona and image, Gwang harbours a shred of kindness and an ounce of devotion to the land and the people. Moreover, Eon Nyeoni, another bandit is out for blood and is on the lookout for the culprit of her parents’ murder. Hee-shin, too, is hiding a gloomy past beneath her vibrant smile, similar to her blossoming feelings towards Lee Yoon.
By the end of the debut season, Gwang and Yoon, both fell victim to Hee-shin’s charm. This sort of love triangle will certainly form the foundation of Song Of The Bandits Season 2. The upcoming season will also explore the backstories of all these characters and portray their independence movement.
