In 1867, Sin Jae Hyo leads the Dongrijungsa, which teaches pansori (traditional Korean musical storytelling). A young girl, Chae Seon, who wants to perform pansori, appears in front of him. Chae Seon has dreamed of performing pansori since she first heard Sin Jae Hyo perform when she was little, but Sin Jae Hyo turns her down because women are not allowed to perform pansori. Chae Seon then disguises herself as a man and enters the Dongrijungsa to learn pansori, but Sin Jae Hyo doesn’t accept her as his student. One day, he hears Daewongun, the most powerful man in Joseon and the father of the King, is going to hold a national competition of pansori performers known as “Naksungyeon”. Sin Jae Hyo decides to teach Chae Seon, who has a true voice to perform “Chunhyangga". If anyone finds out that Chae Seon is a woman, Sin Jae Hyo and Chae Seon will both face death.
On one side we have a fiction and another side s story that is a mix between historical events and fiction during Joseon. Rookie Historian seems to have been inspired by Lee San’s story as we know that this Prince had to fight for years to unveil the true about the unfair death of his father (Prince Sado) and was autraciyzed in the Palace for being the son of a traitor. In Lee San the Prince gets support by the painters bureau in Rookie Historian from the historians. Both had to be present in every event around the Palace to make records.
Rookie historian strongly advocates for equal opportunity for women and men, Lee San did it a little bit. Both are beautiful period pieces
