hey yalls wat is the big deal about the painting of crown prince sado??? like i dont understand it's importance and why theyre makin such a big deal about it.
You mean the political overtones? King Jeongjo's late father Crown Prince Sado was a controversial character (in real life, insanity rumors) who died before ascending the throne. In the drama, there was no royal portrait of him. Jeongjo loved his father a lot and sought to honor his memory by asking HD and YB to paint his father's portrait. Given the father's reputation, yes...it's a big deal.
