I really had high hopes for #TheRedSleeve at the #BaeksangArtsAwards2022 . Congrats to #LeeJunHo for best actor & popularity award : this amazing actor has finally his season! He’s getting what he deserved for #JustBetweenLovers .Even if every nominee deserved to win, I can’t ….
…help to be disappointed for #TheRedSleeve cast & god Ji In. I wanted them to get the #BaeksangArtsAwards2022 recognition they deserved for all the joy (& pain) they brought to us. I’m specially disappointed for #LeeSeYoung . Even if I knew she could miss the best actress award.
I really wanted her to have it (don’t misunderstand me: Kim TaeRi nailed it as Hee Do). Because #LeeSeYoung is such a dedicate & passionate actress, I wanted to see that her efforts haven’t betrayed her. For someone who almost quit acting, this award would have been the proof…
#TheRedSleeve challenge : the poem North wind from the book of odes #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo #BaeksangArtsAwards2022 #BaeksangArtsAwards
The book of odes plays a main role in #TheRedSleeve. It’s one of san’s favorite book. He offered it to Deok Im when they went together to the bookstore. She would read the poem during his lockdown and then let the book in his room, despite Yeongjo’s orders #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
The Book of odes (Shih-ching) is the oldest existing collection of Chinese poetry, comprising 305 works dating from the 11th-7th centuries BC, said to have been compiled by Confucius. It has been studied and by scholars in China over two millennia #TheRedSleeve
#TheRedSleeve challenge : peak comedy scene - court ladies maids can be really frightening #BaeksangArtsAwards2022 #Baeksang #BaeksangArtsAwards #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
As i said many times before, what of the best aspects of #TheRedSleeve is the author’s ability to mix comedy & drama genres.
It loosened up the atmosphere when things may become too heavy. #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
It loosened up the atmosphere when things may become too heavy. #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
In this scene, Deok Im has been gone for a while at the queen’s palace (the number 1 rival of San). Plus San has seen Deok Ro & Deok Im in the middle of the night very close to each of other…So, San, jealous, is pissed off and no court lady maid want to be near him #TheRedSleeve
#TheRedSleeve challenge : *seduction course 101 by royal guard * aka how San is so desperate with Deok Im that he’s asking for the royal guard’s tips #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
One of the (many) strengths of #TheRedSleeve script , is the writer’s hability to mix in the same episod pure comedy with pure tragedy (so we can laugh & cry, except ep17 which was 💯😭).
San being quite desperate after so many refusals from Deok Im, is asking for help from his faithful royal guard’ advice! The royal guard is one of the best character of #TheRedSleeve. It’s an invented character that brings humor & lightness to the story
#TheRedSleeve - San and archery: a thread 🧵 #BaeksangArtsAwards2022 #Baeksang2022 #Baeksang #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung 
It’s an historical fact that JeongJo was an excellent archer (one of the best archer of Joseon along with king Taejo, the general who founded the dynasty) #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
When Deok Im confessed to her friends that the man she loves is neither a scholar or a warrior, it’s rather true & false at the same time. True bc San was the crown prince, false as he had both exceptional intellectual & physical abilities #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
#TheRedSleeve - the Queen Dowager: a thread 🧵 #BaeksangArtsAwards2022 #Baeksang2022 #Baeksang #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
Nota: this thread will be a mix of historical facts and events from the drama #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
Queen Jeongsun (called the queen dowager after Yeongjo’s death) was the 2nd official consort of the king. She married him at 13 yo. Yeongjo was already 64 yo. She was 10 years younger than Sado & 6 years older than San. #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
#TheRedSleeve - the puppy metaphor a thread 🧵 #BaeksangArtsAwards2022 #Baeksang2022 #Baeksang #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
The first time San asked Deok Im to come to the annex, she sees for the first time the dog house built by Sado. Deok Im replaces the tag fallen on the ground. San opens up and tells her his father was also a good man and built the house at his request as a child #TheRedSleeve
There’s a lot of fictional elements in #TheRedSleeve (10 000 proposals/rejections, the fairy palace,…) but also very accurate historical elements. Prince Sado was fond of dogs and loved drawing them (which pissed Yeongjo by the way). Here’s an alleged painting of Sado’s dog
#TheRedSleeve San’s wife - Queen Hyoui : a thread #LeeSeYoung #LeejunHo (photo from the drama Yi San - wind of the palace)
Queen Hyoui is most mysterious character of #TheRedSleeve . Quoted many times all along the drama, we never get the chance to see her. But at 1st, when I heard of her at ep16 (when San’s running to Deok Im after learning her pregnancy changes his mind to see the queen instead) …
…i was in choke. I wrote about what I thought was a mistake at that time. But, San’s wife is mentioned several times since the beginning of the drama #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
As commoners (sangmin), San and Deok Im would have been, like 80% of the population in Joseon, farmers. They would rent their lands to a noble family. Besides, they were heavily taxed and men had to serve an army and work for free (corvee) #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
Deok Im would have been reduced to the household and the farm works (gardening, weaving cotton,…). But she still would have more freedom than a yangban (noble) woman who was strictly confined in her household #TheRedSleeve #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
In Joseon, a family member could ask a man to divorce if his wife committed 1 of the 7 sins. Among them: sickness, jealousy, disobeying to the parent in law, not having a male heir or adultery. With her bad health, DI could have been concerned #TheRedSleeve #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
In #TheRedSleeve, San was asked twice if he ever considered to be commoner: at the very beginning and at the very end of the drama #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
In the ep2 of #TheRedSleeve, San is asked by one of his teacher if he ever considered to be a commoner. San replies: « Never…I shall never hide or run away from my my destiny » #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
Concubine or court lady maid? What was the best (or the worst) status : a thread #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
The court ladies had a special status among the population in the Joseon era. As they served the royal family, ppl considered them as special (the 🧚♀️ metaphor in #TheRedSleeve was accurate). But the price to pay was very high: they entered the palace very young to ensure they …
…Were still virgin, as they were the king’ spouses. The CL couldn’t have a love life or build a family. Of course some CL had affair with civil servant or courtier. But they risked death penalty as Yung Hee in #TheRedSleeve if they get caught
But before diving into the scene, let’s just remember when it takes place. The 🍊scene is from ep 7 of #TheRedSleeve. As the young crown prince and the court lady interact we can already see their feelings growing for eo, but only San expressing them boldly #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
In the ep 5 of #TheRedSleeve, aka the date at the bookstore, San shyly declared himself when he said « were you swayed by me or was I swayed by you? » . But at this moment, Deok Im didn’t get the depth of his love for her. #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
Personal opinion: why do I think San & Deok Im met at 10 & 9 years old in the palace court? A thread 🧵 #TheRedSleeve #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
Contrary to the novel #TheRedSleeve cuff, San and Deok Im didn’t meet at Yeong Bin funeral. There is no record about that #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
The only fact precisely known is San’s proposal to Deok Im at 15 yo. Which is in the historical record #TheRedSleeve #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
Forecast in #TheRedSleeve : the G4’s destinies - a thread #LeeSeYoung #LeeMinJi #LeeEunSaem #HaYulRi #LeeJunHo
In the ep 12 of #TheRedsleeve, while everyone is mourning king Yeongjo, the G4 are dreaming about the futures, and most of their dreams will become reality except for one of the court lady. #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunho
While Deok Im wonders what true love is, BokYeon dreams she’ll end up her life next to Deok Ro as her secret admirer. Kyung-Hee wonders what it would be to have a relationship with man. And Yung Hee reminds everyone they are not allowed to and may risk her life for saying this.
Deok Im died at 33 years old, 4 months after her son Mun Hyo, while she was in her last month of pregnancy. At that time, the average life expectancy for a concubine was 56 years old, 50 years for the queen #TheRedSleeve
Nobody can tell why Deok Im died at an early age. But there are several hypothesis #TheRedSleeve
In the ep 16 of #TheRedSleeve, San is forced to rush things and makes Deok Im his concubine. To protect her from Hwabin but also from Queen Dowager who manifest very strong possessiveness towards Deok Im. If the queen Dowager makes Deok Im his court lady maid, she can’t be his
Even if San is the king, he can’t bedded a court lady maid from an another royal member without her permission. In a way, these events forced them to move on with their relationship, the status quo can’t no longer exist #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
#LeeSeYoung ‘s MBTI : a thread ! Let’s dive into her personality 😉
A female ISTJ has several specific character traits. Let’s check if it suits to #LeeSeYoung.
Logistician (ISTJ) is someone with the Introverted, Observant, Thinking, and Judging personality traits.They tend to be reserved yet willful, with a rational outlook on life. They compose their actions carefully and carry them out with methodical purpose. It’s 13% of population
Warning ⚠️ ⛔️ : these tweets reflect my personal opinion. I have a huge respect for both #LeeSeYoung and #LeeJunHo as artists and as human beings. I’m sorry if some feel offended. It’s not the purpose. Just remember that everybody is entitled to its opinion.
Warning 2 ⚠️ ⛔️: I understand fans ship their bias bc they love them. I’m not comfortable with shipping bc the actors may already be in dating smb and it may hurt them and their partner. It’s also an indirect pression, that can affect the relationships of those are shipped by fan
#TheRedSleeve : historical facts, novel and drama. What’s true by the way ? A thread
Warning ⚠️ : I make this thread bc I’ve read a lot of twt saying : « poor Deok Im. You blamed her for rejecting San, but she lived in hell as a concubine ». This interpretation is the one given by the drama and the novel. Truth may be elsewhere …#TheRedSleeve
#TheRedSleeve cuff (the novel) is a fiction based on real events and real people. The author made a lot of research to write the book. But a lot of materials came out after the release of the book. Some events are totally fictional, as the way things are portrayed…

Yeongjo tidak punya anak dari kedua ratunya. Dia punya anak dari selir2nya. Salah satunya Selir Yeong (nenek Yi San) yg dia cintai
Kenapa ratu masih muda banget? Krn ratu dipilih dari gadis keluarga bangsawan umur 13-17 tahun. Bahkan Ratu Jeongsun lebih muda dari Putri Hwawan.
