The Red Sleeve (2021) plot

Set in the 18th century, "Red Sleeve" depicts a love story between King Jeongjo and royal concubine Uibin Sung.

In Korea during the first half of the 1700s, Yi San is an aloof and perfection-loving young prince. His father’s killing haunts him, although it leaves him in the position to take the throne once his grandfather – the cruel and ruthless current king responsible for Yi San’s father’s death – dies. He has resolved to become a benevolent monarch who will reform the law when he eventually takes the throne, but the way his father was killed has scarred him emotionally.

At court, he meets a young woman named Sung Deok Im. Yi San falls in love with her and tries to convince her to become his official concubine. But Sung Deok Im is strong-willed and free-spirited. She is also intelligent enough to understand that becoming a royal consort to the future king is a prestigious role, but one that would restrict her freedom and likely bring her little in the way of joy. But Yi San’s love for Sung Deok Im is true, and she starts to understand that forming a union with him could ultimately benefit his troubled realm.

comments on The Red Sleeve (2021)

• So many popular airing show right now, but I think this one has the best first 2 episodes. Watching this drama feels like reading a novel because the characters are so well written so far...... the dialogue and the humor are really fun to watch.... On top of all.. Nuneo is so hawt...
• I am really liking this historical drama(after Mr. queen) , the actors are doing great, they showed palace system really well, but i am bit scared about this tiger and reading story thing , i hope it doesn't go childish/cheesy and messy
• im not sure but in ep 1 and 2 there has been no mention of the ML having a wife or other concubines. I've searched the cast too and i dont see anyone playing as his wife or concubine. considering the synopsis is literally the ML asking the FL to be his concubine and her contemplating it, she might be a concubine? however, i think the focus is gonna be the two of them and i doubt they are gonna really touch on the fact that he has other wives hahahahahahaa

historically the ML had a wife and a few concubines, and the FL's character was one of his concubines. but i get what you mean, it is a bit of a turn off to see the ML having other wives in this day and age, even if it was the norm in the past haha
