Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gwanghae was historically deposed and never given a temple name—this drama's sympathetic portrayal sparked debate about rehabilitating controversial Joseon rulers.
Lee Yeon-hee's male disguise was so convincing that crew members reportedly mistook her for a male extra during early filming.
