Freedom in Real Sense and Royality
Mostly I love to watch dramas which are based on history, Medical & Music. Kingmaker : The Change of Destiny, has become one out of my favorite Korean Drama. It has many aspects of life revolving around the common problems of our society and it's people. The major problems faced by a common man because of corrupt government officers who take joy in making one suffer especially people those are innocent or hadn't committed any crime. It is similar to the unnecessary troubles faced by the people of Joseon.There are also some people who don't mind their own business but the only work they do is to blabber their mouth and make sarcastic comments on people who hadn't done anything wrong to them or to the society. It only because of the hypocrites and stereotypes existing in our society. Especially because of the bad and dirty politics played in one's nation like aa we know, India is famous for it in the World .
Taking about the Princess and Choi .. I feel sympathy for them as they have to go through many difficulties in their lives although they were innocent people. False charges made on choi and his father who were honest and upright to the king. Same thing happens nowadays in democracy too. The sufferings that the Princess went through by a minister who works for a king is a sad reality of today. Even though The King and the Queen Dowager both had permitted both the Choi and the Princess to marry why does the other people have problem with their marriage when the other people haven't given birth to them so do they own their lives or what?
The minister of finance and Chae In Gyoo has tortured the Princess and Choi both physically and mentally. They received back their karma as it is the law of Nature. They received their jealousy and hatred back by the Nature. But still the they both went through were those scars they never have forgotten in their lives even though the assailant got punished but what about the pain of the victim that they went through. The similar wasn't experienced by both of those assailant while getting punished.
Maximum people are selfish who takes advantage of other people who posses skills or knowledge. It's a reality su h selfish and self-centered minded people also exist in our society. Same thing is shown into this kdrama. Both the Princess and Choi possess some superficial and supernatural skills and knowledge which were taken advantage by the Minister of Finance and the Prince Heung. But both of them got punished as it was the gift of God only to those two people. So it's very obvious their they(selfish people) will get to their end by themselves by taking the advantage of God's gift given to the other few people.
The Royal Highness was the great and deserving queen to seated on the throne of Queen. She directed the Prince or the the king into the right direction by guiding him through some great books or her advice making Prince to take the right decision for the welfare of the People of the Nation. This is what we need in today's so called democratic countries especially where ministers and officers are corrupt. They are democratic for the name sake only killing innocent people who put them on their seats of minister by voting them.
As for romance, yes I like the Chemistry shown in the show between the Princess and Choi. I thought ending should never be a sad ending otherwise I don't want to watch such negative shows. The king and the Royal Highness were also great . The last scene where Choi appears was the most beautiful and emotional scene even though some might think how it was emotional? But after such sufferings from the beginning when the King and the Queen Dowager has already permitted them they met at the end of the show without any further troubles. I feel little bit sad for the suppressed Pincess King and the new king under corrupt ministers and the Prince Heung.
Music was excellent from the beginning whether we talk about the background instrumental music or the vocal music . Both the male and female singers were awesome and sounded melodious.
Aside from bad people or the negativity there were good people too. Like the barmaid, his brother and the Great Merchant Lady . They all were wise and polite and generous people who knew the reality of the authority and helped the Princess and the Choi according to their strength and knowledge. They let Choi and Princess to stay with them providing shelter to the victims of the dirty politics and also saved the innocent people of Joseon by providing shelter to the needy in her house. Protecting them against the brutality of the Corrupt Prince Heung who was blinded by revenge, jealousy and hatred for Choi and others resulting in adding the miseries and hardships of the suffering people.
They showed the trading relations between Korea, China and Russia which comes under the trading histroy of a particular place. Also the arrival of French missionaries in Korea resulting in new inventions taking place in a particular place in order to relieve people from their hardwork . But there are also some inventions like guns, cannons etc,., Which are harmful and disastrous for the mankind and humanity. It obstructs the happy and peaceful lives of the innocent hardworking people.
Overall, each character has portrayed their role perfectly whether they are the main characters or the supporting characters . Each of them has their own role which is important for the success of the show. Delegates from the China , traders from Ming were dressed perfectly . Costumes are as always designed perfectly whether the fabric used for the clothes is made up cotton, silk or wool. Especially Silk Hanbook and the Court gives the show a royal look.
At the end when we talk about the story, plot of the show, cast, cameramen, designers, background music, songs, singers, and other crew members were excellent in producing a good and heart touching show for the people.
This Korean drama has everything whether it's histroy, importance of Freedom and democracy, Good and bad politics played in the Court or in the democratic houses. Also at the same the beautiful story of romance of two two couples too.
Few questions like what happened to the little King and The Queen, The Queen Dowager and the Prince Heung were left unanswered. The Shows ends on the perfect note when people were ready to fight for the Freedom of their Nation and for living their peaceful lives happily without the interruption of the unknown negative people. A new Sunrise of Happy tomorrow can be seen in 1939 when World War 2 is going to begin.
Loved the Whole Production.
