Staying at the Bandit’s Den Homestay in Hwasoon-Gun, Cheollanam Province

We watched a five-part series on the "Human Theater (인간극장)" on KBS called "The Bandit's Daughter (산적의 딸)" several months ago. https://www.kbs.co.kr/1tv/sisa/human/vod/1415732_1278 https://www.kbs.co.kr/1tv/sisa/human/vod/1416092_1278 https://www.kbs.co.kr/1tv/sisa/human/vod/1416304_1278 https://www.kbs.co.kr/1tv/sisa/human/vod/1416359_1278 https://www.kbs.co.kr/1tv/sisa/human/vod/1416596_1278 It was the story of a family that moved from the Seoul area down to a rural area near Gwangju in the southern part...
