Review of episode 11

This episode explored the theme of the king's kindness with his subjects. Though he was the king, he was able to mingle with the low born musicians and enjoyed spending time with them. He also rewarded Dong Yi for her service by buying a jewelry for her.This episode explored the theme of class inequality and not to give in to it.
