What to expect from Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage episode 1?
Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage episode 1, titled The King's Trick and The Prince and the Money, is set to feature two stories.
The first story, The King's Trick, will see Bojji and Kage preparing a meal one morning while training in the underworld when they are alarmed by Despa's screams. His screams echo throughout the mansion, following which he arrives in front of Bojji and Kage in a hurry.
Despa tries to hide his face under the futon, and as is evident from the preview video, it seems like a spot has appeared on his face. Given that Despa is obsessed with his own appearance, the spot seems to be a huge deal for him.
The second story, The Prince and the Money, will see Despa telling Bojji and Kage to earn money for their social studies. To do so, the duo take a look at job boards and visit various shops, but nothing seems to go their way. From the preview, one can see how they get scolded for their seemingly poor performances.
