Kingdom Kingdom- Ashin Of The North -
Young Ashin lives with her father, Tae-hyub (Kim Roi-ha), the leader of a small Pajeowi settlement. They are outcasts—considered neither fully Jurchen nor Joseon. Her father is a double agent: he spies on the Jurchen for Joseon’s military in exchange for protection and supplies. Ashin is a precocious, fierce child, trained in archery and tracking, but still innocent.
Instead, the moment Tae-hyub leaves, Min Chi-rok orders his entire garrison to massacre the defenseless Pajeowi village—men, women, children, and elderly. The reason? Pragmatic cruelty: by eliminating the Pajeowi, the Joseon commander can blame the Jurchen murders on them, avoiding a war. Ashin, returning from foraging, watches in horror as her mother, grandmother, and neighbors are slaughtered. She survives only because she hides in a pile of corpses.
