About The Red Sleeve (옷소매 붉은 끝동):
In Korea during the first half of the 1700s, Yi San (Lee Junho) 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 (Lee Se Young). 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.
This drama series was based on a 2017 novel by Kang Mi Gang.
“The Red Sleeve” is a 2021 South Korean drama series that was directed by Jung Ji In.

No one could ever make justice to the real life story of Uibin Seong and King Jeongjo like Lee Se young and Lee Junho. Their chemistry and their acting skills are just TOP NOCH. No wonder this show was a huge hit, this is a masterpiece (all the actors, the writing and cinematography are sublime)

[@crizelledelgado7145]

Poor Deok Im. It’s so sad that Deok Im couldn’t truly be happy. That’s probably why she couldn’t/didn’t express her love. She’d rather keep those feelings to herself, knowing that was the only thing she could cherish as her own since everything was pretty much taken away from her. She loves him but at the same time, she misses her freedom. She was trapped within the palace walls and what’s worse is she couldn’t fully have him. Even if they officially become family with the baby, she can never be his wife. 💔

[@julysunrush4483]

Why can't she be his wife? I though they were like together together here

[@crizelledelgado7145]

@@julysunrush4483 Because of the difference in social status. Deok Im was someone of inferior birth. Only a queen (someone from a noble family or noble birth) can become the King’s wife. The highest rank of a concubine is first rank Royal Noble Consort but only once a concubine gives birth to a son (a successor to the throne). The King can have many concubines and only one wife, which is why Deok Im says the line “I am yours although you can never be mine”. The King had many women and she knew that she could never fully have him to herself. The main purpose of Kings having many concubines is for child bearing but Yi San actually loved Deok Im so he wanted to create a family with her despite the given circumstances.

@@crizelledelgado7145 Hmm but if you watch Scarlet Heart Ryeo, the king has many wives in the drama (aka more than one queen). So maybe it only applies to Joseon Dynasty?

The drama has ended but I don’t think I can move on from it! It’s undoubtedly one of the BEST series I’ve ever seen! Absolutely loved the characters and storyline…hoping to see Lee Junho and Lee Se Young together again in another series be it a historical or modern drama-they have an undeniably beautiful chemistry! I’m definitely a fan-girl of these two🥰

[@mmm4withsun355]

it's the way Lee Seyoung adds these subtle touches that makes her acting just so absolutely fantastic...her holding his hand affectionately throughout the scene- it makes the whole thing just that much more natural... just stellar acting ㅠ Junho as amazing in his role too- they're just both so good ❤

[@yadira6826]

I love his silly happy face when she asks him if he can feel it and when she calls him out. Such great acting. It really makes me feel like a fly on the wall watching a very intimate scene of a couple just being loving. I'm crying...again

Why did he spent the night with the queen when he heard news if her pregnancy, if he really loved her so much ☹

[@yadira6826]

a little happy moment with such a sad undercurrent. The drama was great, their life was so sad. Real life is both sad and happy like she said. Excellent work from the whole crew. It doesnt matter how many times I watch it, it makes me cry.

[@shyamopriyamoitra1474]

Many people are confused about whether she loved him or not but I don't see where the confusion comes from. Deok Im loved the king a lot. She loved him so much to the point that she ended up giving up her everything to him. The king loved her a lot too! She was his favourite consort. But he was the king. He had a lot on his plate. She could never be his biggest concern, his kingdom and duties came first. On the other hand, for Deok Im the King was her only duty, she could only wait for him to come to her. The king didn't realise how lonely Deokim became as a consort. So she always held her friends closer to her because they were support system. The King couldn't make Deok im his priority (Cause he had to rule a kingdom) Deok im also chose to make her friends her priority.

[@yadira6826]

She loved Yi San not really "the king" but the man. The novel expands a little more when she tells him that her wish was for a husband that will make her his number 1 priority. A quiet life where her children could call her mother. That right there is the tragedy of the whole thing. It makes me cry every time.

spoiler: i was a tad disappointed they never showed the queen. i wish they had gotten into more of the details of their actual relationship together, the queen or the new consort, etc. i think i wanted it to be more like jang ok jung living in love though. lol it was still a good drama though.

[@Lin-kk5be]

In real life the queen was the person who married yi san first, so I think it is hwabin (the person who mistreated deok im) but they married as children, here it’s not the case

Espero que ganen muchos premios con este hermoso drama. Pero, odié que ella jamás le dió el gusto de decirle que lo amaba. Lo demostró de todas las formas posibles, y entiendo por qué no quería decírselo, pero él siempre se sintió impotente por no escucharla decirle que lo amaba. 😢. Nunca había visto a ninguno de los dos actores pero me encantaron y su química fue hermosa.

Did she ever loved him??

[@vannessa903]

Yes she did

[@AraBianchi]

You saw throught all of the show how much she did for him even putting herself at risk to protect him and you ask if she ever loved him just because she decided to keep the direct "I love you" to herself? Actions speak louder than words is the definition of Deok Im character.

[@webcomiclulu9056]

Yes...very much.

[@pearlsandstars829]

Honestly, this is a very good question that I see the audience doesn't really want to ask. Risking your life for someone doesn't mean that you love him the way you should love a lover. Ultimately, she loved being free more than she loved him, because if she did love him, she would have just said it right here. She knew he was in pain over not being loved, and she did not say anything here because she respected him enough not to lie to him. Honestly I feel very sorry for him, as he never got what he truly wanted except in that hallucination vision where he begs her to love him as he is dying. In real life he keeps telling her it doesn't matter if she truly loves him, but with his dying breaths, he imagines himself begging her to "please please love me." It's a true tragedy for both of them: she settles for a (short) life in which she is not truly fulfilled, and he settles for a relationship in which she doesn't love him the way he wants to be loved. I know this was supposed to be a Romance, but damn it was sad, and not even because she dies, but because of their relationship in general.

This drama shouldve ended here Spoiler Episode 17 is miserable 😭

[@KD_k1978]

I'm guessing it as I didn't watch the drama but her love for him gotten bitter on the day when he threatened her which definitely hurt her dignity. He forgot that love is not about achieving but about giving even if you have to give up that person, love needs sacrifice, and he said it doesn't matter if she loves him or not as she is his, i guess he is begin selfish he just wanted her, i understood their love is pure, but he stained it on the day he attacked her dignity.😢
