The time line of this historical drama and another, “Dae Jang Geum” overlap. These stories show the king–who flips his wig in the later episodes of this story–as the same king in
ae Jang Geum” , but with a totally different personality, to say the least, There’s also a Jang character in this story toward the end who is the polar opposite of the saintly Dae Jang Geum as well. Anybody have insight on which story is closer to historic truth?

ALL sites are missing episodes 2.3.5.12!
What happened to them?
Aren’t those part of the story telling saga?
I can see why I dislike drama episodes to watch.
They are always incomplete or the players never work.
