Plot
In the Joseon Dynasty period, the kingdom was enveloped in a
political maelstrom. Cheo-seon was born as a posthumous child and
separated from his mother immediately. He was raised by Weol-hwa and the
old Swe-gwi, who ran the eunuch school. When he meets So-hwa, the
daughter of a powerful noble, he falls in love with her immediately. He
voluntarily becomes a eunuch to be close to So-hwa and is assigned to
work for Cho Chi-gyeom, a senior eunuch. Entering the royal palace, he
sees King, Sung-Jong and So-hwa spend their first night together. He
becomes So-hwa’s loyal protector. As the political battles rage on among
the courtesans and wives in the palace, So-hwa is chosen by the king to
be his queen and Cheo-seon vows to be her loyal servant. But So-hwa is
eventually dethroned as the queen and leaves the palace in disgrace.
Cheo-seon helplessly watches these events unfold and he secretly helps
So-hwa. But in a cruel twist of fate, he is the one chosen to execute
So-hwa’s death sentence by serving her a bowlful of poison. After So-hwa
dies, he looks after her son King, Yeonsangun as if he were his own
son....

My own thought about this drama: I came across this drama on arirang TV
http://www.arirang.co.kr/Player/TV_Live.asp?code=TVonAir (English TV channel of korea defentily worth to watch) and only saw 2 episodes of the drama yet. You are used that 1 episode is 1 hour or longer but in this serie they only are around 30 minutes. But have much more episodes then the most drama's. I was caughted at a point when they cut the testikels of the boy (you don't see anything of only blood that comes on other people so don't worry :P) So try to check it out and if you already have seen the drama tell me about it what you thought!
