After a long voyage, he landed atOngjin land on southern Korea Peninsula, known as the Goryeo nation at thattime.

In addition to enlarging land for cultivation, Tuong also helped local people repulseMongolian troops. Although he served the Goryeo dynasty in a high rankingposition, he still turned his heart to the homeland.

The dance drama will be performed in other RoK localities. It was brought to theVietnamese audience for the first time in 2015 and re-staged in 2016 in Hanoiand Ho Chi Minh City.
