Synopsis

The Treacherous (간신, 2015) is a South Korean historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Min Kyu-dong sets the story in the Joseon Dynasty at the turn of the 16th century, centering on King Yeonsan — a ruler who turned the grief of losing his mother into a reign of cruelty and excess. He commands that thousands of young women be brought to the palace, initiating a sweeping selection of royal concubines.

Among the candidates are a bold kisaeng and a butcher's daughter of remarkable beauty, each calculating her own path through the court's dangerous rituals. Behind the throne, a shrewd retainer has spent years learning to steer the tyrant for his own gain — loyal on the surface, lethal underneath. Ju Ji-hoon, Kim Kang-woo, and Lim Ji-yeon head the cast in a story where ambition, revenge, and desire tangle into something no one can control.

Stream The Treacherous (2015) online on iFILM — a bold Korean period drama with political intrigue and mature themes intended for adult audiences.
