Based on the memoir "Jingbirok" , written in 1604 by Joseon scholar Ryu Seong-ryong (1542–1607), who served as prime minister of the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910) during the seven-year Imjin War (1592–1598). "Jingbirok" (Book of Corrections) is the name of Ryu's memoir, which looks back on the Japanese invasion under the leadership of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
