This award winning series (nine in total - including Grand Prize and Drama of the Year at the MBC 2028 awards) is well scripted and acted; check out the main cast because it's a who's who of actors. The director does a fine job with believable settings and environments so the series doesn't have the thrown-together look of some Joseon dramas. An earlier series than the 2024 Hong Gil Dong, and later than the 1998 series of the same name, Rebel: The Their Whoe Stole The People is an adaptation of the historical Korean "thief", Hong Gil Dong, and his followers. Starting from Hong's childhood and continuing through the people and events that shape him, the highlight of the story is how Hong and his "gang" "steal the people" (among other things).

Be sure to watch the extra footage after the credits for a fun treat by the entire cast
