Winter, 1636.

Joseon faces one of the darkest moments in its history.

A massive Qing army crosses the frozen Yalu River and advances south. King Injo and the Joseon royal court retreat to Namhansanseong Fortress, where they soon find themselves completely isolated.

Outside the walls, tens of thousands of Qing soldiers tighten the siege. Inside, both food and hope begin to run out.

Just when Joseon’s defeat appears inevitable, a mysterious anomaly occurs deep in the mountains during a violent snowstorm.

A Republic of Korea Army unit conducting an operation is suddenly transported into the middle of the Second Manchu Invasion of Korea in 1636—along with K2 Black Panther tanks, K21 infantry fighting vehicles, modern firearms, and military equipment.

At first, the soldiers believe it is simply part of a training exercise.

But when they encounter Joseon troops, Qing Banner forces, and the very Namhansanseong Fortress they had only seen in history books, they realize the impossible truth:

They have been thrown back into the past.

The modern soldiers already know how this war is supposed to end.

The isolation of Namhansanseong.
The surrender at Samjeondo.
And the humiliation Joseon would be forced to endure.

But knowing the future does not necessarily give them the right to change history.

If they refuse to intervene, history will continue along its original course.

If they interfere, the consequences could reshape the future hundreds of years later.

After struggling with that choice, the commanders and soldiers of the Republic of Korea Army make their decision.

They cannot simply stand by and wait for a way home while people are dying before their eyes.

On a battlefield once dominated by matchlock muskets, bows, and cavalry, modern assault rifles and machine guns suddenly appear.

Armored vehicles and tanks confront the charging cavalry of the Qing army.

Reconnaissance drones watch enemy positions from above, while modern artillery shakes the frozen mountains and fields of Joseon.

But overwhelming firepower alone cannot bring the war to an end.

The Korean soldiers must survive in an unfamiliar century.

The Joseon army must fight to defend its kingdom until the very end.

And the Qing Banner forces must face an enemy unlike anything they have ever encountered.

As armies from completely different eras collide, a new version of the Second Manchu Invasion—one never recorded in history—begins.

Can the Republic of Korea Army save Joseon from its destined defeat?

Can they stop the massive Qing army commanded by Hong Taiji?

And when every battle is finally over…

Will they ever be able to return to their own time?
