Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Prince Yeoning is based on King Yeongjo, one of Joseon's most documented reformers; the Saheonbu was a real investigative body that checked royal power.
Go Ara trained in traditional archery for months but her character barely uses it—most action scenes were cut in editing.
