Even in the 21st century, countries like England or Japan have an imperial household. It’s called… what was it called? Oh yeah, Constitutional Monarchy. Although the monarchy is reduced to a ceremonial role, the royal family is loved and respected by its citizens. They are the master of the palace. But what about our palace? I’m sorry to say, but the imperial household is no more. The Korean palace is just a sad, empty space where human spirit is nowhere to be found.
So why don’t we let our imagination run wild? Let’s pretend there’s a charming prince living in the Gyeongbok Palace, and all the girls in Korea are in love with him. How about that?
“There are times that I want to let you go, but sometimes I wouldn’t want to let you go. So before my heart wants to let you go, growing old together is not a bad idea.”
I fell for him. It’s as natural as the rising and the setting of the sun.
