Even before, there have been many movies and dramas about ‘Jeongjo’ (one of the kings of the Joseon Dynasty). ‘The Red Sleeve’ focuses more on the life of a court lady.
‘The Red Sleeve’ means a court lady.
Because the sleeves of the dresses worn by court ladies are red, ‘The Red Sleeve’ symbolizes the court ladies.
In the palace, all the court ladies are the king’s women, and if they get Seung-eun, they can become his concubines or queens.
The meaning of ‘seung-eun’ here is ‘the king’s grace’, in other words, to spend one night with the king.
You can know a little more about the life of a court lady in this drama. However, the character of the female protagonist is a little different from the general court lady or woman of the time.
In the drama, the female protagonist is not simply a subject of romance for the king, but a woman who wants to carve out her own life with her own dreams.
