Once upon a time, in an era long ago, there was a King of the Han Kingdom who loved a woman so much he would have given her everything. But that woman was a gisaeng... Born from a love that the world would not permit, a small sun emerged: 'On' (Sion). As soon as this small sun was born, the woman the King loved departed this world, and as the days passed, On grew to face the vast world. How he resembles his father; even his actions are so alike... And his appearance? He inherited his mother's face exactly—large eyes with long lashes, pale skin, a sharp nose, and lips like cherries. It is a relief he was born a man, for had he been born a woman, he would have been the greatest beauty in all of Joseon. As the small sun grew, his looks favored his mother while his temperament favored his father—a child of immense curiosity. Perhaps because of that personality, not a day goes by that he doesn't sneak out of the palace to see the markets and learn how the people live... Sigh, if the man who is to become the King of Han acts like this, one wonders how the ministers will react. Then one day, he stopped going outside the palace walls. I thought he had finally matured, but rumors in the palace say he has fallen for a certain physician. Seeing him like this, he truly is his father's son...
