The Red Sleeve Ep. 13
Added 2024-11-23 23:54:05 +0000 UTCKing San is going crazy waiting for an answer from Deok Im about his proposal, but when an assassination attempt is made on his life, he has to go hunting for who could've done it. This hunt leads to some of the fairy maids and a family member, and punishing them hurts everyone, even the King. But there's more to business than taking out enemies, like creating an heir, and King San needs a concubine to do that. With Deok Im not wanting to accept his proposal, the Queen Dowager picks one for him, and we're not even surprised at who it is.
Comments
correct me if I'm wrong, I watched a Korean YouTube video which said that in history, San was indeed married as a crown price (arranged marriage as mentioned in this episode) but the queen couldn't get pregnant due to health issue. That's why everybody is eager to designate a concubine for him to produce an heir (knowing that he wouldn't designate a concubine other than Deokim). But like what Free mentioned, he refused to touch/sleep with anybody other than the woman he loves (Deokim). In reality, Deokim and San's queen were friends and the queen (actually everyone) knows San only loved Deokim).

If you want I could give you guys some more inside into the relationship San had with his queen in the book this show is based on, because like you guys said you don't see her story in the show but she does still "exist" in the show. As you pointed out they probably don't show her to make the romance aspect more appealing. It won't spoil any plot points. Please let me know!
