He's 13yrs older for God's sake! I don't know but it kinda disturbs me knowing it :/
25 and 40 is OK. 15 and 30 is NOT OK. That's the difference. I don't care about the wage gap this is not age appropriate and Kim Sae Ron was a child when she filmed this.
I like all the main characters except one and that's the female lead. She is also basically the only female character in the drama so my whole gender rests on her character.
Usually I think kdrama fans are too hard on female character but there is nothing intruiging about her. She's not smart, she's wrong in her investigations, she's not kind, not strong or fierce and she only says things like "don't your respect me cus I'm a woman?".
All the mains have their strengths that make them unique to the team but she is nothing more than a secretary to me.
The synopsis wrong. Lee sun is Sukjong but he lived his youth in the 1600's.
No worries.
Yes I checked that now, that Sado was a concubine's son. I thought he was the son of Yeongjo's first queen. And she is listed as cast on this site, I hope it's just a mistake.
Also, idk why I put spoiler in the first place because my post is rarely about the series lol.

Those are good points and I've read all of korean history myself so I wouldn't say I need help but thanks for being nice.
Sukjong's historical father has the same birthname as Lee Sun's father in the drama(They're both called Lee Yeon). I had doubts but that was what convinced me. I looked for Sado's historical birthname but didn't find anything, we do however know Yeongjo's name and it's Lee Geum. How do you know Sado's historical birthname btw?
Also since like you said the real Sado was the second son and his brother died a young adult. It wouldn't make sense here to make all that stress about making an heir in this drama because the main character is the first born. I have only seen one episode, but I know that Sukjong's father had no concubines. In the pilot of this drama is seemed like they were hiding the fact that Lee Sun came from someone else than the queen despite the fact that concubinage was costumary.. Both Sukjong and Sado are recorded as sons of queens in history tho.
Another reason is Yeongjo was one of the wisest and strongest Joseon kings, while Hyeonjong(Sukjong's father) is recorded to be weakwilled, just like the king in the drama. This argument isn't as strong because we don't know how much they're twisting history, but usually writers keep fundamental things like these in tact.
Everything except the timeline leads me to believe this is Sukjong's story, not Sado's. (Might also be a personal wish because we all know how it ends with him welp) Either way there's good reason to be confused.

This seems a bit too lighthearted to me. Unless its like SHR..
btw you should put a spoilertag
I know the female lead is the star. Not everyone can play the quirky type naturally..is she good?
