Even rewatching the first episode is painful now TT

Very heartbreaking

the red sleeve>scarlet heart

Another beautiful analysis, my heart TT

MBC really undermined this drama

Ost by Lia (Itzy) full audio

Lyrics:

An ost that shows Deok Im’s feelings for San

Don’t watch if you have a weak heart, this drama will give you heartache

A thread about the relationship between Deok Im and the Queen dowager (people are calling her the 2ml)

Especially more female directors directing historical dramas

^^ also that too

Especially since her tomb was put next to her son crown prince munhyo’s tomb which was unheard of since they both were of different status

Yeah but this time with clips from the drama especially from the final episode

I can see people making modern day reincarnation fan videos with the leads

Bittersweet ending that can be also considered sad.

Some historical records that I wish appeared in the drama:

- San making medicine for sick Deok Im
- Him bathing her when she was sick
- Her residence being used as his office
- the epitaph
- them visiting the 100 year old man who doesn’t meet with concubines but uibin was an exception.

the final scene is one of my favorite scenes from this drama, i can see why this scene made lee seyoung want to be in this drama.

Episode 17

Example:

“He made various reforms throughout his reign, notably establishing Kyujanggak (규장각), a royal library. The primary purpose of Kyujanggak was to improve the cultural and political stance of Joseon and to recruit gifted officers to help run the nation. Jeongjo also spearheaded bold new social initiatives, including opening government positions to those who were previously barred because of their social status.”
