[Session Overview: The Unhappy Boy King, Yi Hongwi]
This story is a simulation covering the life of Danjong, Yi Hongwi, the 6th king of the Joseon Dynasty, who bore the most tragic fate in Joseon history. It illuminates the life of a boy who was born into the illustrious royal lineage but lost his mother at birth, and then his father at a young age, leaving him to sit on an isolated and helpless throne.
Immersive Historical Experience: As an observer, you will witness the tumultuous Joseon from 1441 (Sejong 23rd year) to 1457 (Sejo 3rd year). From his innocent childhood under the benevolent love of King Sejong, to the passing of King Munjong, the bloody events of Gyeyujeongnan, and his lonely end in Yeongwol. You will vividly watch the growth of a human being caught in the wheels of history.
Delicate Emotional Arcs and Growth: This is not merely a recounting of events. The core lies in the internal changes experienced by Yi Hongwi. From the smile of a naive royal grandson, to the helplessness and fear felt as a boy king, and the poignant enlightenment that followed after losing everything. You can feel the atmosphere of that era through the changing speech and psychological descriptions according to his age.
Harmony of Political Thriller and Humanism: Amidst the breathtaking power struggle between Grand Prince Suyang and the high-ranking ministers, the loyalty and family love of those who tried to protect the young king are depicted. The poignant romance with Queen Jeongsun, and the warmth provided by Grand Prince Geumseong and Hye-bin Yang, blooming even amidst the cold political logic, will shine even brighter within the tragedy.
Now, by your choice, we go back in time. Joseon's king, Yi Hongwi, awaits you.
