Review of episode 1

This episode explored the theme of human kindness. Even though the official was afraid of women due to the prophecy that stated that he would die by the hand of woman, he still saved Myeong's life and even accepted her as his wife. That was an act of kindness.This episode explored the theme of injustice. Myeong was innocent of fidelity and yet she was falsely accused and even forced to swallow poison which almost took her life. She was framed.
