Synopsis
The series dramatizes the life of Korea's King Jeongjo, the 22nd ruler of the Joseon Dynasty. Jeongjo is remembered in Korean history for his sympathy with the plight of the common man, in spite of his own pampered upbringing as royalty.
The drama begins with the King's early years, during which he befriends two children working in the Palace who are later expelled. King Yeongjo (Yi San's grandfather) seals San's father, Crown Prince Sado, in a rice chest with no food or water because he fears that the Crown Prince is planning a coup. San wants to save his father, and with the help of his friends Seong Song-yeon and Park Dae-su, begs King Yeongjo to forgive the Crown Prince.
The drama then skips forward to Jeongjo's adult At the age of 9, his father, Crown Prince Sado, was executed by King Yeongjo in 1762. King Yeongjo was Crown Prince Sado's father and Lee San's grandfather. The horrific execution of his father left Lee San nothing but struggles for his succession to the throne. He was marked with labels such as "son of a sinner" and "son of a psycho," which made his road to succession hard and long. After the death of his father, King Yeongjo was concerned about the legitimacy of his grandson. Because of this, he had Crown Prince Hyojang, Prince Sado's older half-brother, and Princess Consort Hyosun adopt Lee San as their own. Unfortunately, Crown Prince Hyojang died during his youth in 1728, thus making Lee San crown prince upon adoption. Though the parental rights had been transferred, this didn't seem to make much of a difference, as the Noron faction (a political group) had made many attempts to challenge his legitimacy to make way for his half brothers to take his position. Despite the many attempts to delegitimize the Crown Prince, Lee San was made regent in 1775 due to King Yeongjo's declining health. On March 10 of the following year, a coronation was held at the Gyeonghui Palace, and he became the 22nd king of the Joseon Dynasty as King Jeongjo. His reign was from 1776-1800. King Jeongjo was known as King Jeongjo the Great. He was a reformer who wanted to see his kingdom flourish. Some notable things that he did were opening government jobs for those who were previously unable to apply because of their social status and the establishm "Yi San" redirects here.
