On this day, the broadcast opened the opening of the epic poem with the splendid and magnificent coronation ceremony of Won-kyung and Yi Bang-won, who became kings and queens. It was his wife, Won-kyung, who dressed him in armor, saying, "Tonight's history is definitely on our side" by her husband's guest, who was in fear ahead of the "Prince's Rebellion". The two, who achieved the royal authority in this way, promised "Let's share everything together" and made love with each other hotly.
Since then, it was Wonkyung who penetrated the anxiety of the visitors due to the royal authority, which was not recognized for its legitimacy. In the protest, there was a rumor that the wife was a joint government with Min, and the servants looked at Won-kyung's father, Minje (Park Ji-il), who said, `He put the heaven under his feet.' In addition, his younger brothers Min Moo-gu (Han Seung-won) and Min Moo-jil (Kim Woo-dam) were so powerful that they did not hesitate to say, `If Jung-jeon had become a man, he would have become a king.' But every time Won-kyung's eyes falter, "Don't be afraid and move on. You're doing great"I held his hand tightly and pressed him.
Nevertheless, a decisive event occurred that exploded the internal conflict of the guest house. Bang-won found out that the masked man who attacked him late at night was Won-beom (Park Ki-duk), the henchman of his father Lee Seong-gye (Lee Sung-min). In the past, Lee Seong-gye was proud of his son's visit. This is because a guest who dispatched a military officer's resentment, who was despised due to lack of study, released it in the past. "You are the one who will make my wish come true," he said, but now he has an irreversible relationship with his father, who gave him a big hug. The fact that Lee Seong-gye did not even recognize himself as the king and was trying to kill him made him feel shocked and shaken.
All these feelings of fear, anger, and resentment of the guest turned to the distant landscape. In addition, Won-kyung, who had a son and raised Young-sil (Isiah) in his early days, said, `I'll take care of it, so just stay.' and Won-kyung offended Bang-won, who eventually ordered him to bring his Yeong-sil hat into the palace. Before being a king and queen, Won-kyung, a man's wife, was furious. It was a disgrace that was even more unbearable because it was Wonkyung, who saved Yeongsil, who was almost beaten to death.
The guest thought it would be most effective as a way to humiliate you"It stimulated the mirror and raised his anger. It is said that his wife, who had powerful power and private army, had no choice but to borrow from Min in order to achieve royal authority under the threat of her life by opposing forces, returned the disgrace she felt and endured. To Won-kyung, who wants to talk about the couple's work at eye level, he emphasized that it is now a relationship between the king and his servants who have to follow his decision. Won-kyung, who felt a desperate sense of betrayal, refused to join the palace, expressing resentment to the guest in the bedroom, saying, `If I had known that you would change so disastrously, I would not have mobilized my family to make you a king.'
Soon, Won-kyung visited the guest who left the bedroom, but when the court lady stopped her, she realized that another woman had fallen into the precipitation. However, at the end of the broadcast, it was shocking when it was revealed that Chaeryeong (Lee Da-dam), who is none other than Won-kyung's closest aide, was the woman. Won-kyung, who stayed up all night frozen with despair and anger, and the guest who held Chaeryeong as a woman with a distorted heart in her collapsed pride, and the couple's fierce conflict swirled and raised their heart rate.
In this way, 'Wongyeong' showed an exciting development in the early Joseon Dynasty with a combination of intimate stories and emotions that were bound to swirl because the turbulent political narrative was a couple, and a differentiated historical drama with high completeness was born. This development was fueled by the tragic feelings that Won-kyung, who supplemented her husband with more distribution and power than internal support, and the love that was deep enough to protect him without hesitation in the face of the threat of murder by his own victim. On top of that, the swaying and conflicting feelings of the guest, who loved him more than anyone else and even humiliated his wife, who held hands firmly, combined to push away the view, laid a solid foundation for the love-hate narrative. This was why I was looking forward to the future story even more.
Above all, the historical drama 'Sochigi' (Wishful Achievement) couple, Cha Joo-young and Lee Hyun-wook, instantly changed the viewers' expectations to 'As expected'and firmly set the center. Cha Joo-young, who drew attention with her calm voice and dignity, played the role of Joseon's queen 'Wongyeong' and made an impressive performance. Lee Hyun-wook also gained a sense of immersion with his restrained acting, which included feelings of being a wife of a man before he became a queen. Lee Hyun-wook also added weight by convincingly capturing the charisma of Taejong 's "Lee Bang-won," the pain of not being recognized by his father, and the internal conflict that was shaken by the unstable royal authority. Lee Seong-min, who made a special appearance here, overwhelmed the play with the anger and anger of Taejo 'Lee Sung-gye', who stood at the opposite point of his son who killed his brother and held the king's power.
