I don't know. We'll have to wait and see.😊

No, she would be his concubine like Dong Yi, the mother of Joseon's 21st king.

The current king's biological mother was deposed and kicked out of the palace. Yeol's mother replaced her as queen and adopted the current king as her son. The king refers to the Queen Dowager as his stepmother. Killing one's parents is the ultimate violation of filial piety. The result is an automatic loss of his right to rule and his life. That's why he couldn't touch Yeol's mother. Concubines were sadly not spared from his wrath.
He seems to be mentally unstable, plus he is being drugged.

That's the motive: revenge, and to stop this king from causing more damage than he already has.

He needs to know all the evil that his brother has done and still doing and how the people suffer through his reign.

If he does, they are not showing them. From what we see, Yeol is most likely the next heir to the throne.

He'd be a big loss for Eun-jo and her mother. He is the only family they have left.

This script was written before 2020. Body-swapping sageuks are not common, but we get 2 back-to-back that make it seems repetitive. The inspiration for the female Hong Gil-dong is drawn from classic literature featuring supernatural elements.

2026 looks to be an improvement over last year in cinema and drama series.

Yeol is a member of the royal family. Their marriage were arranged for political alliance. He dodged 2 of them so far, but eventually he will have to settle with a noble lady as his main wife.

I'm lagging behind, but I don't mind.

If an arrow comes at you (in slow motion 👀), the logical thing to do is to take cover by getting inside one of those huts but she kept running on the open road, then proceed to kneel and take the arrow using her body. 😅
Grand prince teleported from the palace just in time to save her. I thought it was unintentionally hilarious.

They were not all slaves; some came from commoner and middle-class families.

Do they need to milk it some more?

I'm ready for Bai Yu.

This is her first sageuk drama, but she had 2 sageuk films. Memories of the Sword and Hero.

There are 2 PDs directing this drama. Ham Young-geol and the other PD Lee Ga-ram. They're both KBS directors previously working on drama specials (short dramas).

It's on a good time slot. It should increase tomorrow, too.

I love Kim Han Min's "War of the Arrows" and "Roaring Currents." I'm glad to see more Goguryeo sageuks from the 3 Kingdoms era.

Netflix was willing to fund it.
