Yeongjo was the first king to take action against Roman Catholic activities in the country. By the 18th century, Catholicism was beginning to acquire a following especially in the Gangwon and Hwanghae provinces. In 1758, Yeongjo officially outlawed Catholicism as an evil practice.
King Yeongjo made Yi San a part of Hyojang's family because he was concerned that Yi San, who was Sado's son and successor, would be opposed. The Noron faction protested Yi San's legitimacy as the royal successor under the claim that Yi San was the 'Son of a prisoner' or 'Son of a madman' and thus ineligible to succeed the throne.
Yeongjo wanted Sado to have an experience of ruling the country. At the same time, Yeongjo wanted stronger power. During Sado's regency, the dispute between Soron and Noron became stronger, much to Yeongjo's disappointment. [5] Lady Hyegyŏng describes King Yeongjo as perpetually dissatisfied with whichever course of action Sado chose. [6]
Royal Noble Consort Yeong of the Jeonui Yi clan (Korean: 영빈 전의 이씨; Hanja: 暎嬪 全義 李氏; 15 August 1696 – 23 August 1764), alternatively known as Lady Seonhui (Korean: 선희궁; Hanja: 宣禧宮), was a concubine of King Yeongjo of Joseon and the mother of Crown Prince Sado. [1]
The screenplay is based on the novel Journey [2] (Korean: 원행; RR: wonhaeng; lit. a round trip) written in 2006 by Oh Se-yeong.

After the death of Queen Jeongseong in 1757, King Yeongjo held bridal selections to choose his second queen. His father had banned former concubines from becoming queen, so King Yeongjo could not elevate one of his concubines to queenship, as many former kings had done. On 9 June 1759, Queen Jeongsun was chosen as queen.
Her subjects included King Yeongjo, King Jeongjo, and Princess Hwawan, thus making The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong a primary historical source as to them. In contrast to Lady Hyegyong's narratives, royal figures were traditionally portrayed as exalted, moral personages in order to legitimize their reigns.
