CAPTAIN KIM - Letters From 1881
18 parts Ongoing The year is 1881, where loyalty is measured by restraint and emotion is seen as a weakness.
Captain Kim Taehyung lives by rules - the rules of war, of society, and of a marriage built on duty rather than love.
He believes control is strength and silence is survival.
Until Jeon Jungkook is placed under his command.
A young recruit-watchful, questioning, and unwilling to bow easily.
Not disobedient enough to punish,
yet too honest to ignore.
What begins as guidance slowly becomes closeness.
What should remain professional grows personal.
In a time when speaking the truth can destroy lives, letters say what mouths cannot.
Their connection forms quietly - in restrained looks, careful words, and pages never meant to be found.
It has no name.
It has no permission.
But how long can duty silence the heart?
And when love itself breaks every rule-
is it failure, or quiet courage?
Some stories were buried by history.
Some were silenced by fear.
But this one refuses to remain forgotten.
