The Korean title of the series is in Old Korean, nareushya is a pure Korean word, which means nara oreuda (날아 오르다) or "soar up to the sky" in modern Korean. Thus the literal translation of the title is "six dragons soaring up to the sky" (여섯 마리의 용이 날아오르셔서).

Six Flying Dragons depicts the ideological and political conflict between Prince Yi Bang-won (later King Taejong) and Jeong Do-jeon, the man instrumental in helping the prince's father Yi Seong-gye (King Taejo) establish the fledgling Joseon nation.
