Wow, thank you for finding the story of King Jeongjo & Lady Seong Uibinā¦
I skimmed through and read the parts of the King and his favoured concubine Uibin. Let me just say, if I have any luck left in this lifetime I hope Iāll be able to find someone who would love me as much as King Jeongjo loved Uibin. Like, WOW. Iām actually at a loss for words right nowā¦
Uibin aka Deok Im must have saved great nations in her previous lives. Even though she was a concubine of humble backgrounds, she received the utmost precious love/care from the King. He didnāt even treat his Queen and noble concubines the same way. I honestly want to cry because their story is so romanticā¦ Thereās no modern day man like the King Jeongjo. You can hardly find a man that doesnāt insult you for rejecting him, these days. Uibin rejected the King TWO TIMES and he still respected and waited for her. How romantic is that?!
Anyway, let me stop rambling on and onā¦ p.s. Donāt read the story if you donāt want spoilers. The drama does follow it a teeny tiny bitā¦
Most American men - do not know anything about how to be that devoted - Iām sure there are men that are - but romance and waiting like that is not strong.
He loved her - he knew she would come around - if he waited -
I mean she obviously loved him
Wow Junho is playing such a beautiful part
I die!
Looking back, Junho really became King Jeongjo. The way he played the character makes me believe that his love for Deok Im was exactly the way history was written. Junho can display his affection through his eyes and the little gestures.
I think King Jeongjo just became my favorite Joseon King.
After winning best couple at the mbc awards, the host asked Junho who was his type between Se Young and Deok Im. He replied, āsince the drama hasnāt ended, Iām still in character. Iām still San. So, I choose Deok Im.ā
Iām still hearing from a friend - STOP NOW - this is heartbreaking!
All of us need to set our hearts - READY for heartbreak! But I love this so much!!!
