i was intrigued about the plot of this drama after reading this post from shirley from another thread....
SBS 왕과 나 [ The King And I ] , i think is scheduled to be boardcast on 20 August .
http://photo-media.hanmail.net/200705/06/d...50602.692.0.jpgCast : Oh ManSuk , Goo Hyesun , Lee Jin
Oh Man Suk is casted as the main lead role of famous eunuch Kim Cheo Seon . The story will span the period during the regin of various Kings during the Chosun Dynasty : from the 5th King Mudong to 10th King, Yeonsan Goon [燕山君] .
Goo Hyesun plays Lady Yoon who was a concubine to the 9th King Seongjong . And she is a woman whom Kim Cheo Seon is in love with .
Due to the death of his Queen, the King was asked to choose a new queen and Lady Yoon was choosen . She gave birth to a son who is Yeonsan Goon . However, later she was ordered into exile . The Queen who replaced her was Queen JungHyun which will be play by Lee Jin .
PS: if you had watch the movie The King and Clown , that king in the movie is Yeonsan Goon, the mad king . In that movie , it also revealed what happen to his mother . the deposed queen yoon. And eunuch Kim Cheo Seon also was in that movie , the faithful servant to the King .
so i googled
9th King Seongjong becuz i wanted to know what happened to queen yoon that resulted in her exile... apparently she was jealous of the king's concubines living in the palace... tried to poison one of them.. dont know if she succeeded or not... she attacked the king... the queen mother ( king's mother) found out and she was exile... queen yoon was the second queen after the first queen died w/o a son... she gave birth to the king's first son who would later become the crown prince and later the king who is known as
Yeonsan Goon...
i really hope what happened to her in real life doesnt happen to her as well... so i'm guessing that
oh man suk will have a one sided love for her...
highlight if you want to know what happened to queen yoon ----->
she was poisoned and died.. her son found out what really happened to his mother and was bascially soooo pissed... he killed the ppl who had a hand in what happened to her...(i.e. his grandmother, court officials, scholars....)here's the site... it's wikipedia so the info may not be accurate...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seongjong_of_Joseon (husband of queen yoon)
