I'll start by saying, I was forced to rate this 1 Star since there aren't negative stars available.
I'm an elderly adult female who has 5 children, so I'm no prude when it comes to sex.
The story: A teenage King who groomed a pubescent boy to be his lover in the guise of "service" to the King who was homosexual and disgusted at the thought of being with a woman. The King needed an heir to keep his reign (or be killed). The King offered the services of his Chief Guard (his lover) to impregnate the Queen and hopefully no one would be the wiser that it wasn't the King's heir. The Chief & the Queen fell in lust with one another (love?, NO.) after sneaking around behind the King's back well beyond the required "services". They both were escaping a Stockholm syndrome situation with the King so they thought they "loved" each other. The King had the Chief's doonie cut off (castrated) in response to him being "betrayed" by the Chief & the Queen. The Queen had been impregnated so the King's plan did work, but now the King had to shut everyone up since too many people knew it was the Chief and not the King who had gotten the Queen pregnant. The Chief, infuriated by not having a doonie anymore, and not having a future with the Queen, decided to kill the King. The King had also killed the Queen's maid and hung her head on a pike with the Queen's sachet (given to her by the Chief) making the Chief think the King had killed her. This gave the Chief all the more reason to kill the King. The Chief killed the King. The Chief was finished off by the other Guards and both bodies were to be hidden. The Queen could give birth to the throne's heir, and everyone could not live happily ever after. The end.
TL;TR: A gay King needed an heir, offered his lover Chief Guard to service the Queen to impregnate her. The plan backfired . The King wanted to kill everyone involved, and was killed by the Chief. The end.
Korean films take leeway in explicit content, whereas their dramas don't.
SERIOUSLY, the movie should have a disclaimer attached to it (on Viki) as an erotic film, a Trigger Warning for sexual abuse (or grooming), pedophilia, explicit sexual scenes, nudity, & extreme violence. It also is not a BL movie and shouldn't be labeled as such. Anything less is being irresponsible.
