我觉得除了大长今,洪莉娜演得最好的一部戏应该就是这个了。她在里面扮演朝鲜思悼世子的正宫嫔妃惠庆宫。
思悼世子可说是朝鲜史上最凄惨的世子。

prince sado-思悼世子
king yongjo-英祖大王
princess hwawan-和缓公主
这是我对这部戏的观后感 (英文的)
The drama begins somewhere before the time when Princess Hwap’yong (Hwap’yong Ongju 和平公主) died of childbirth and ends with Prince Sado (Sado Seja 思悼世子) dying in the rice chest. The events are mostly authentic; some lines of speech are even exactly the same with that in Lady Hyegyong’s memories (Memories of a Korean Queen: Lady Hyegyong), all except for the part about Princess Hwawan (Hwawan Ongju 和缓公主).
In the drama, Princess Hwawan is said to be secretly in love with Prince Sado (She once asked (hint) him “there is a person whom I’m deeply admired with. But I know clearly that I can never be with him in this life. What should I do?”), thus doing her best to help him, and enjoyed a cordial relationship with *Lady Hyegyong.
However, the actual character of Princess Hwawan totally differs. According to Lady Hyegyong’s biographical narratives, Princess Hwawan is portrayed as a capricious, power-hungry, domineering and ignorant woman. Though she did helped Prince Sado, coming to his rescue during many perilous situations, and even mad it possible to obtain royal permission for the Prince’s trip to Onyang, she did these only under the pressure of Prince Sado’s threats.
After Sado’s death, being the apple of her father, King Yongjo’s (英祖大王) eyes, she wielded great power. Together with her adopted son, Chong Hugyom (郑厚谦), she planned evil plots to get rid of and harm people in order to be the sole object of her father’s affection. She estranged King Chongjo (正祖大王), then the Grand Heir, with his Queen, alienate him form Lady Hyegyong and harm the Hong Family (Lady Hyegyong’s family), which is one of the factors leading to the fall of the Hong family.
In her memories, Lady Hygeyong referred to Princess Hwawan as Madam Chong, which is indicating a person of unimportance and of a **lower status. This clearly shows Lady Hyegyong’s resentment towards her.
Lady Hyegyong says in her memories “ There are 2 versions of the incident (Sado incident) of that year (1762). Both are equally narrow, one sided and untrue one is that His Majesty’s (King Yongjo) decisions was noble and just, one to be uphold as estimable to Heaven and Earth…In short, Prince Sado is turned into an unfilial person and a criminal…The other version is that, though Prince Sado had no illness, His Majesty listened to slanders and committed that terribly excessive act (imprisoning Sado into the rice chest).”
This drama is more inclined to the second version, as Prince Sado’s illness seemed to be deliberately avoided. For example, his obsession with Pingae (Park Kyongbin 朴景嫔), one of his secondary consorts, is omitted, as well as his phobia on clothes. His madness is totally not talked about. In addition, the drama portrays him as enjoying an intimate relationship with Lady Hyegyong, he loved and cared about her. But the truth is, he never really cared about her, as well as his other secondary consorts because of his illness. Lady Hyegyong’s memories says “he has not being talking to me in a friendly and intimate manner for several years.”
*The title “Hyegyong (惠庆)”is given to her after the death of Prince Sado. Her official status is the Crown Princess Consort of Crown Prince Sado. During King Chongjo’s reign, her status was upgrade to “Hyegyong-gung (惠庆宫)”. She was posthumously given the title “Queen Kyongui (Kyonggui Wanghu 敬懿王后)” during King Kongjo’s (高宗) reign.
**In 1778, under official pressure, King Chongjo stripped her of her royal title and the privileges associated with it and banish her to Kanghwa Island (江华岛).
Postscript
Personally, I feel that the beginning of the drama is somehow too exaggerated. By saying this, I’m referring to the actor and actress. At the time of filming (year 2001), Hong Rina is 33 and Eim Ho 30. Despite this, they are supposed to act as 13-year-old Lady Hyegyong and Prince Sado. Frankly speaking, no matter of their makeup, this is impossible and they do not look the least bit like teenagers. Eim Ho’s face is even “decorated” with beards.
Nevertheless, this drama is certainly worth watching. You must watch it if you are a fan of Hong Rin. Her exceptionally acting skills is highly demonstrated in the drama. And she’s really very charming in traditional Korean costume, her beauty can be compared to that of any Miss Universe/International/Korea etc. (I’m not exaggerating the facts!)
