Korea-Khitan War (Season 1)

Korea-Khitan War (2023) is a Korean historical epic you can watch online on iFILM. It dramatizes the clash between the kingdom of Goryeo and the Khitan empire across the turn of the 11th century.

The story opens on Hyeonjong. Born outside the royal line, he was pushed out of the palace as a boy and tucked away in a monastery — until a childless king abruptly named him heir. He barely has time to learn how to rule before Khitan armies start pouring over the border. Leaning on the veteran commander Kang Kam-chan, the young king pulls scattered factions into one force and fights on two fronts at once: foreign invaders outside, and courtiers who would happily wreck the state from within.

Shot as a large-scale war saga, it moves through sieges, envoy talks, palace scheming and the decisive battle that buys Goryeo a long stretch of peace. Kim Dong-jun plays Hyeonjong, with Choi Su-jong as Kang Kam-chan. Best suited to viewers who love costume epics with the patience of proper historical cinema.
