1. Narrative of Prince Jinhan (Lee In)
A person with a noble status, noble character, and outstanding ability, but who is shaken mercilessly by external circumstances.
But isn't a character who tries hard not to be shaken very attractive?
- I fought hard, but when I heard the news that they were surrendering to the Qing
- When I heard that I had to go to the Qing as a hostage.
- When you get kicked out of the door by the king and are told not to call you brother.
- When I heard that I would be appointed as the next king
When the protagonist courageously endures the coming pain
We smell a salty smell from him. Sniff...
Salty = sad = catharsis
2. Age gap between Lee In and Hee Su
Age calculation will vary depending on how many years you were a hostage in the Qing Dynasty.
Even if I can't do it, I think I'll be in my mid 30s. Hee-su seems to be in her 20s.
Because when he surrendered to the Qing in the first scene of episode 1, Lee In was leading the army on the battlefield, so he must have been in his 20s at the most.
But Hee-su said she was a child at the time, so there seems to be a difference of more than 10 years between them.

To my father, who is smart enough to engage in a super-strong neutral gear even in the midst of confrontation with his maternal relatives, but at the same time has upright loyalty.
A young woman educated with love but without much world experience yet.
I don't know what the story will be like in the future
At least the relationship between Lee In and Hee Su shown in episodes 1 and 2 is
I think it shows the charm of lovers in ancient Greece.
So it made me watch it with strange excitement.
3. Alternative history and political drama
It looks like Lee In is using Crown Prince Sohyeon as his model.
In that after the king surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he went to the Qing Dynasty as a hostage. In the sense that they are kept in check after going to the Qing office.
How would the history of Joseon have changed if Crown Prince Sohyeon had become king?
I’m looking forward to seeing how the author’s imagination unfolds in response to this question!
and
How will the political struggle between the mid-war faction and the anti-war faction unfold?
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing what moves Lee In and Hee Soo will make to continue their story.
more.
Have fun three gals
