For anyone who has an interest for Sado and Lee San that drama special is interesting as it covers a short period of teenager Lee San investigating his father’s story (Prince Sado). The 2007 Lee San is an epic journey covering his whole life with all the Palace intrigues and plottings.
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

The tone is slightly less melodramatic in Graceful Family and they also use humour to reinterpret the classic makjang tropes. Both dramas are a deep-dive in the crazy of one chaebol family. What are they willing to do to preserve their ?? and dirty secrets? Do all paternity is legit or some are questionable? Why an estranged character is coming back after years in the US? Are all death and disparition without suspicion? …
