Where is the concubine named? Court Lady is named as court lady only based on the chart above....
Btw, fun little fact; ALL maids belong to the monarch, meaning they are prohibited from marriage and technically are ''married'' to the king. On very special occasions king could grant an amnesty and send the maid out of palace to live as a normal citizen thus she could marry. If the monarch wasn't benevolent though and maid was caught having an affair, she would be sentenced to death, because her body by law belonged to the monarch.

No, court ladies all had ranks, and 5th rank isn't the highest rank. Just like officials, servants had ranks as well, so in historical dramas they often say ''official of 8th rank'' or other number, same goes for maids. Court Lady Dong looks like the second highest rank, which means she personally takes care of the king, meaning, she is head lady, but that is my assumption based on observation. Kings of course, could take any maid of any rank, but usually, they upgrade them to concubine (which also has ranks) because keeping maid as a bed maid was kiiiiinda frowned upon and the said maid would get talked about like ''she isn't perfect enough to be a concubine'' and so on.
I am intrigued though with the gift she has received from Queen dowager, and I question it myself. It is a valuable item, but not as valuable as the head piece. If you look closely, the queen and other higher ladies, have a head piece (just like western queens had crowns) and that head piece also signifies a certain rank :)

That's not how it works.
By giving someone tassels does not mean making someone a concubine. In the Korean chart which i have checked she is still a sanggung of 5th rank. While sanggung's could share the king's bed usually the king upgraded their status to concubine. Also, this court lady wasn't named as ''seungeun'' sanggung which is favored sanggung who shares the bed with the king.
I will have to properly see the next episode to see what type of sanggung she is, but I doubt she is concubine...Maaaybe he upgraded her as seungeun, but we will see.
I’m at the point of muting her boyfriend and girlfriend. If she seeks happiness, I don’t understand why she…
to get them together, since she has to pass her tragic ending to them :) those trash bags got together by cheating, so the pattern cannot change too much if she wants to succeed in passing her fate on Su Min.
He did name his successor - his son. Yi In lied about the king's last words. The true last words were: catch the…
His death was abrupt thus no written last will, which was talked about in the drama and was the main conflict of the episode. You are right, he didn't specifically say that Yi In can't be a king, and at the same time, didn't give him approval for it either, just like Yi In stated his brother did - which thus, was a lie.
I honestly can't even think the old king was thinking about regency, because he was against China holding such power over Korea. After all he despised the idea of Yi In inherting the throne.
Man, that whole situation was pure chaos. The king didn't even bother to name his successor before he kicked the…

What I don't like about revenge dramas where it's one lead taking revenge on the other lead is that they always…
U are IN for a treat if you watch Princess' Man. It is an oldie, but they honestly do not make such dramas anymore? The revenge plot goes throughout almost whole series and the male is....very tough and I cheered on him :) Till this day it is one of my fav historical drama.

Care to provide the official Korean chart so I can check? :)
