One-Line Verdict
“A royal court romance between a court lady determined to protect the life she has chosen for herself, and a king for whom the nation must always come first.”
Overview
In 18th-century Joseon, the Crown Prince, Yi San—who would later become King Jeongjo—lives as a perfectionist, deeply scarred by the tragic death of his father, Crown Prince Sado.
Despite the emotional wounds left by his father’s passing, Yi San dreams of becoming a benevolent ruler who reforms the nation’s laws to better care for his people.
Within the palace, he meets Seong Deok-im, a spirited and intelligent woman. He falls in love with her and asks her to become his royal consort; however, Deok-im finds herself torn, grappling with the many constraints and responsibilities that life in the royal court entails.
