Plot
Lee Byoung-hoon, the director of the hit TV series The Jewel in the Palace, will direct this new period drama.
In the late 18th century, Lee San became the 22nd kind of the Joseon Dynasty! It was the most tumultuous times ever seen in the 500-year-old Joseon monarchy! He was an open-minded, wise king who championed democratic values. The stories of his glorious triumphs, ordeals, regrets, and historical achievements are shown in this TV drama.
A story about Lee San’s life
The politics of Lee San (King Jung-jo) He was a natural leader who ended vicious partisan politics and revived the economy with his extensive knowledge of the market. He created a strong paradigm in the 18th century and ruled with the kingdom wisely! This biopic drama covers his dramatic life and shows the achievements of the Silhak scholars and outstanding officials who rebuilt the kingdom’s power.
The high point of the arts in the late Joseon Dynasty. Hwaseong Fortress was a remarkable architectural achievement during this period and western knowledge began to seep into the kingdom. Brilliant individuals such as Park Ji-won, Lee Ick, Jung Yak-yong, Kim Hong-do, Shin Yoon-bok, and others are introduced in this TV drama as well. For the first time, the art workshop of the palace will be shown along with the Aekjung office and Seja Ikwiesa. There were 10 failed assassination attempts made during this period alone in the 500-year history of the Joseon Kingdom and they will be depicted as well.
Economic turning point in the 18th century As family industries began to be replaced with a trading economy, the 18th century was a turning point for the economy-! The commercial trade of the times will be depicted realistically and the trading organization that Song-yeon leads is where the latter Joseon Dynasty’s economy originated from. The special Joseon Dynasty products that were made under the guidance of Song-yeon were exported to the China’s Ching Dynasty. In addition, the 30-year romance between the leading female character Song-yeon (Eubin Sung) and King Jung-jo will also be a main theme in the drama.
The reinforcement of the army and military research In the late 18th century, western technology began to seep into the kingdom and many political factions that opposed the king tried to fan the flames by starting anti-government movements. This led King Jung-jo to take a strong interest in national security and a military buildup. This is when the king reformed the army and began to beef up military research. One accomplishment in this era was the publication of the Muyedobotongji, Joseon dynasty’s first martial arts textbook to ever exist. --MBC

I belive among historical korean drama I have seen yet, Yi San was the best of them. The story line, asting and musics were the best and had great harmony with each other.it is very fantastic and amazing. I have watched it several times and always enjoyed it.

I love this show... great casts, very touching story line.... 2nd times watching the show and yet when both the King Yi San, Song Yeong and Dae Su cried me too :).... so sad, will be great if Song Yeong 2nd baby lives and King Yi San lives to ripe age along with Dae Su... since the grandmother and queen were such nice people.... thumbs up for Lee Byoung-hoon, the director & the casts!!!! This is my 3rd historical Korean Drama, 1st one was Dae Geum, followed by Dong Yi and now Yi San.... all three are great and my favorites, so very sad all the Kings majority of them died quite early except Yi San's grandfather in his 80s, son of both King Sukjong and Dong Yi ... I love and looking forward to watch more of these historical drama.. !!!! Damo is also a great one with Lee Seo-Jin cast

Why is the ONLY handsome, dark-skinned Noron Minister not listed in the credits either as character nor as actor?

Right. Her drawing depicts "When the red lotus flower blossoms, the cotton coat is left with a golden fragrance". LOL!!! What do you draw for a withered rose and a damp woolen mitten left with a moldy stench? Help! I can't stop laughing hysterically. Great drama, tho. Remember, "Wet birds never fly at night." Now, draw!

I really don't get hooked to programs but this one surely got me hooked....no addicted is the word, I never thought I would enjoy such a program but this has blown my mind. the plot is so amazing, the creativity, the suspense what a show. I have to say that the plot does capture peoples inner emotions it makes me cry, laugh and at times i get so angry like at the fact that Song-Yeon dies, why oh why? it made me cry that was just the perfect love story. anyway where can i get the DVD from?

WOW DOUBLE WOWS.
this is one of my all time favorite Korean drama. I liked Jewel in the palace the sad love story and the painter of the wind but YI SAN/ LEE SAN just took gold for me. Koreans have gained my respect and admiration the way they can actually give intrigue, suspense and at the same time not lose their plot. The fact that that it was not predictable is what adds spice to it especially when the king turned senile i believe the actors could hear me literally scream. Things were just going all so swell for the crown prince immediately he decided to take the crown princess and the ministers away from the palace BOOM the king becomes senile and guess who he turns to? THE EVIL EMPRESS WHO WAS BANISHED FROM THE PALACE!!!! need i say more on the awesome plot of the DRAMA. the fact that Korean programmes are moral that just does it for me because I am born again and I dont like watching things that are not mind blowing.
Indeed I enjoyed myself immensely to the point of dreaming the drama because i could not wait to see it. I am a fun of epic dramas this was the best korean drama for me if there are more please inform me.
If i could give awards the award for best actor will go to Lee Seo-Jin and the best actress will go to Han Ji-Min and Park Eun-Hye gosh everybody did an excellent job the rating for the show i give it 110%

Pacat ca ultimele episoade au fost trase de par. Au aparut brusc personaje si evenimente care au coborat calitatea serialului. Un print mostenitor aparut de nu se stie unde, o capitala construita peste noapte si alte chestii. Au supravietuit doar batrana imparateasa si Dae-seo, adica o mare maestra a geniului rau si un supus devotat fara prea mari calitati intelectuale. Cei inteligenti si talentati au pierit. Morala?
