Partial Synopsis
In a 17th-century Mediterranean where sorcery and magic are real, the following of the witch Circe on the island of Aeaea is growing, and the Papacy dispatches the Spanish marine warship Odisea to crush the heresy. Under Captain Ulysses's careful calculation, the Odisea wins overwhelming victories. Nico, a boy captured in the first sea battle, survives after a clash between Captain Ulysses and the ship's chaplain, Father Teófilo. Nico tells the crew that, just as Teófilo saved him, they could rescue everyone held captive by Circe if they join forces. What awaits the crew on Circe's island?

Official English titles in this database are extracted only from primary sources. These include:
-
materials released by the production company, credited creative team, or venue, including their official pages on social media, YouTube, and similar platforms;
-
official English listings on ticketing sites;
-
official industry events such as the K-Musical Market;
-
interviews in which a creative team member clearly gives the English title.
English titles that appear only in translations by others, such as news articles, reviews, or fan materials, are not included as official titles. When no primary-source English title exists, the title is recorded as a literal translation and labeled on the left as either “Unofficial Third Party Usage Confirmed” or “No English Title Found,” depending on whether an English title has appeared in the media or elsewhere.
“Captured” is the date the screenshot was taken. “Accessed” is the date the search for an English title was last carried out. English titles may change when a production revises them for a later staging. Entries are updated to the most recent official title where possible, though updates may lag behind such changes.
Some source pages have been observed to change or disappear over time, so screenshots are kept here at a reduced but legible resolution. They serve only to document the title as it appeared on the date shown. Clicking an image opens its original source page. All rights to the captured material remain with their respective owners. Inclusion does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by any rights holder.
