Cheoson Era: Another Joseon for Me and my Friend
Fiery Jin-Hee, a Korean national, has just lost her job in Seoul after standing up to her misogynistic boss. Ally, her Angolan friend, is also jobless following an epic office altercation. Their dead-end lives take a sharp turn when a mysterious man sends them to the Cheoson Era, a parallel, Joseon-style kingdom defined by tradition, rumors... and gross misunderstandings.
Forced into roles they don't understand, Jin-Hee becomes a noble minister's daughter and candidate for the role of Princess Consort. Ally, in the greatest irony, is designated the Sacred Oracle of the Prophecy, simply because her cellular phone is mistaken for a divine "Celestial Tablet."
The friends' arrival disrupts Cheoson’s fragile balance and ignites a dangerous double romantic and political conflict:
Ally is bound by prophecy to Crown Prince Yi Hyun, the guarantor of Cheoson's throne. However, she also captures the dangerous attention of the Young King of Goryo (the enemy kingdom), whose plan for invasion is threatened by his unexpected love for the Oracle.
Jin-Hee, trapped by rigid court protocol, finds herself drawn to the sarcastic Royal Guard, Kim Ho, an officer who sees her for the intelligent outsider she truly is.
Caught between court conspiracies, the imminent threat of war, and burgeoning passions, the two friends must use their modern knowledge to survive. But in this realm where love is as perilous as politics, who will Ally and Jin-Hee choose? And will their choice secure peace for Cheoson... or ignite a regional war?
