Tell me how the queen and her family is evil? The king has done much worse and then blames it on the queen.
You’re confusing the historical facts (him trying to gain power by suppressing his in-laws) with fiction (the Queen saving him, their sexual positions and fights over concubines…).
The Drama is trying to depict historical facts + adding all the fiction to fill in the empty gaps. So they won’t make him a nice King who decides to let the Queen and her family share the power with him. His whole reign (historically) was purely about solidifying the dynasty and the power of the king (him and the future ones) while taking away that power from other powerful and power hungry families. All he did was done in order for him to have enough power to give a better life to the people. Killing his wife’s brothers because that would help advance his plans to achieve that? Ok. He did what he did for the same purpose his father took the throne in a coup. For the people.

I think the show is doing an excellent job at showing this transition starting with the king’s attempts to submit the queen and the queen resisting it as she lived a free life as a daughter of a powerful family before.

To be honest, I find this aspect of the TV show very interesting as it shows that women of Goryeo were much more free and somewhat equal to men, they were more respected and could participate in anything war in , politics. But it seeems like Joseon changed women’s roles to that of mere baby makers, making them sit at home adorning themselves and having their status downgraded to be inferior to men. To have less freedom, less rights..

Yes ofc. As I said, he wanted to submit the queen because he didn’t want her to think she’s his equal as he felt threatened by her and her family so he obviously didn’t change the laws. 🤷🏻♀️
In episode 5, it's evident that the king's new concubine is clearly taking the dominant role in the bedroom, and…
From what they said in the show: a Queen must follow the etiquette during a royal conception night (it’s not intercourse for pleasure, needs to be done only for the purpose of getting pregnant). However the concubines are not having « ritual intercourse », theirs seem to be more about keeping the king s*xually satisfied. That’s how I understood it at least. Moreover, the king is trying to submit the Queen, he wants her to finally accepts she’s not his equal, and to « obey » him. But when she refuses to obey him in other matters but even in bed, he gets mad.
