so this will have sad ending? unrequited love?
If she does die, it’ll really feel like a cut from a knife though. She’s so lovable and they’re so cute together already after just 2 episodes.

Honestly, I don’t mind a sad ending as long as the story is good. Take, for example, Queen for Seven Days. It had a sad ending but it couldn’t have been a more well-done sad ending. I cried buckets. It was memorable. If this one has a sad ending, in that she dies, I hope it’ll at least be fantastically written.

I doubt it will be about unrequited love. It’s a romance drama after all. I didn’t create the drama, but if I know anything about K-dramas, I can 99% assure you, the love will be reciprocated. Lots to look forward to! So excited!

Really? I thought it was Sukjong and either Dong Yi or Lady Jang?
It’s a matter of opinion. I think this one is particularly romanticized because King JeongJo’s eulogy for Royal Noble Consort Ui Bin Seong was so heartbreaking. In it, he expressed his wish that she would come back to life and return to the palace. He wrote about other details of their life together, praised her extensively, and expressed deep sorrow and pain at her passing (I believe the term he used was “The pain cuts like a knife”). Although he had other concubines, I believe she was the only one he chose himself (the other ones were arranged). Again, of course, the “greatest romance” is a matter of opinion. :)

He had a Queen, but that marriage was arranged. He proposed to Seong Deok Im twice, once as teenagers and again 15 years later, after he had already become king. She refused him twice and that’s why the drama’s tag line is “We know the king loved the court lady, but did the court lady love the king?” When she died, he personally wrote the message on her tombstone. On the Song of Hope radio show, it was mentioned that he wrote the words “I love you” on her stone and that he was the first king to ever have done so. That’s why this story is being advertised as the “romance of the century” and considered the greatest romance of the Joseon Dynasty.

I agree with you 100%. I was completely captivated by this drama in every respect. Thank you for the extensive, thoughtful review!
