Warriors of the Dawn
Warriors of the Dawn
Although it uses Gwanghae’s separate court and the substitute soldier system during the Japanese invasions of Korea in 1592 as its actual historical background, the escort journey and coming-of-age story of Towoo and his group are fictional. Towoo as depicted in the work is difficult to regard as a character who directly represents any specific real person.
