"The characters were primarily inspired by real historical sources. Deok-im and Deok-im's friends realized the characters of the original novel as much as possible, and Yeongjo and San got their motifs from Shakespeare's 'King Lear'. Yeongjo was King Lear and San was It is Cordelia. I felt that King Lear, who always doubts and tests, is similar to Yeongjo in real history. Deokro embodies the ambition of Hong Guk-yeong in real history, and the Kim clan also brings Queen Jeongsun, a real person who values cause. Sang-gung (Court Lady Jo) is a shadow of Deok-im in every way. She is the same court lady as Deok-im, but she makes the opposite choice,” she added.
Then there's this (all hail director Jung Ji In, please, she really made this drama what it is):
'Red end of the sleeves' also drew attention as a restaurant with a cliché twisted so-called 'reverse cliché'. Regarding this reaction, writer Jeong Hae-ri said, "In the beginning, I wrote the 'reverse cliché library scene' as a 'cliché' itself. It was a scene in which San-e received Deok-im from behind and turned around indifferently to choose a book. They said it was too obvious and wanted to remove this scene altogether. So I told him not to remove it and wait, I would try to fix it, and I was worried. I wrote it, and Director Jung liked it at that time. When I saw it on the air, it was changed to banging my head in a book rather than a shelf. I didn’t think that this scene would be dangerous when I wrote it, but when I saw the making, Se-young fell out of the chair. "It looked dangerous, so my heart sank. I think this scene shone thanks to Se-young's passionate performance who didn't spare herself."
Ep 1 starts with the visit to the funeral chamber and Deok Im consoling San's grief by telling him that his grandmother knows now how he feels, because the dead know everything.
Fast forward 17 episodes to San finding out how Deok Im feels only now that he's dead.
