Jung Yong Hwa Becomes a 60-Year-Old Warrior in "The Three Musketeers"

Handsome idol and actor Jung Yong Hwa first greeted the “The Three Musketeers” viewers as a 60-year-old wizened, veteran warrior. 

The drama opened  its first episode titled “The First Encounter”  with Jung Yong Hwa introducing his character, Park Dal Hyang, in his senior years. The scene startedwith a “Dal Hyang’s Memoirs,” an old library book found in the Forbidden City in the year 1780. The narrator brought forth stories from the book that seemed to be written 100 years ago. Combat experience marked the 60-year-old Dal Hyang, with his wounds and salt-and-pepper beard. A sword next to him attracted curiosity.

The first episode then proceeded to show the events back in time, when Park Dal Hyang, as a young man, began his journey to Seoul and fatefully met with the other musketeers, Crown Prince So Hyun (Lee Jin Wook), Heo Seung Po (Yang Dong Geun) and An Min Seo (Jung Hae In).
