I saw comments from people a little bit confused with the plot and the characters. While watching i wasn't confused at all so i thought maybe it's because i read most of the articles and informations given before the drama aired. I feel like they give more context in the story for now.

All of these are from the same thread but i thought that there may be people not familiar with twitter or someone would like to see info for a specific character. (the thread is not mine)

Another fun fact is that there is a connection between this drama and the drama The Red Sleeve(2021) which was inspired by King Jeongjo and his beloved Royal Consort Uibin Seong's story.

SPOILER! if you haven't watched The Red Sleeve

In actual history, their 3 year old son who was the crown prince at the time passes away from measles. While in this drama he actually survives and becomes king. And the world in this drama daviates from that point of history. That's how there is constitutional monarchy in this drama.

It was considerate of you to create this discussion and share them! I'm sure many people who wouldn't otherwise have seen them are now better informed. And I especially appreciate the connection to history along with your recommendation to watch The Red Sleeve.
