Uireung: Part One | Part Two

In my previous entry I wrote about the Joseon dynasty royal tombs located at Uireung and mentioned my desire to include information about the life of King Gyeongjong and his second lawful wife, Queen Seonhui. The main reason that kept me from doing this at the time is that so much of what happened during Gyeongjong's ( Read more... )

Thanks for commenting. This entry was meant as part 2 and you can read part 1 here.

However, at some point I do still intend to write about King Yeongjo!

Writing about his mother would be cool too. I hear she was born a servant, so it is definitely an interesting story to hear as she grew up to be a mother of a King. I hear there is not much information on her and that she might not even have a name, but what do I know? You obviously know what you are talking about, and I don't. Anyways, great story, thanks.

thanks for the accurate story (since you're using legit sources) about sukjong and jang hui bin. i've been watching a korean drama about them and i was curious about the actual events that occurred.

Thank you for the comment and compliment! What drama are you watching, and what do you think of it so far? If it's one you recommend I would be interested in watching it myself. Would certainly be a nice addition to all the text I've read about them!

the movie is Dong Yi

What drama brought us here, you ask? ext_272136 October 1 2010, 05:11:51 UTC

It's DONG YI. I found your excellent pages searching for historical accuracy about the time of King Sukjong. Then, you directed me to Hubert's work, which I happily found available as an e-book. I really appreciate your writings.

I'm glad to hear that my write-up was helpful to you, and it's great to know which drama people are watching about the time period. I have to admit that I hadn't heard of it myself, but I'll have to check it out now!

Google has sections of Hubert's work available online but I'm tempted to search for a copy of his work in an e-book format as it's a very interesting read.

Thank you for the comment and information. 감사합니다!

Dong Yi anonymous October 23 2010, 08:33:27 UTC

somebody was asking about soron and noron until I found your site and read about King Sukjong and am very happy to learn more about this King and it remind me of the drama Dong Yi. domo arigatou.

noron and soron anonymous July 12 2011, 00:42:34 UTC

I am watching a korean drama called Sungkyunkwan Scandal, and the word Noron and Soron has been mentioned lots of times. You stated "the Noron (Old Learning) and Soron (New Learning) groups" Do you have any idea what does it mean by the old and new learning groups? and also, why are they enemies? Thank You
