One thing that makes Ko Ha Jin stammer and almost frustrated, because her soul penetrated into the body of a descendant girl named Hae Soo, cousin of Prince Wang Kook's wife who played by Kang Hae Nul. Fiction is a non-rational description of the story, but in a work of rationality becomes unimportant, more important is the moral message to be conveyed. What to do when a sweet girl is sucked into the past, living in a figure that is never known and suddenly lost in the prince's bathing pool. A very private place that a girl can not visit especially when Wang Geon's son - Taejo, King Goryeo was showering to prepare for the royal spiritual ceremony.

Mrs Hae, Prince Wook's sickly wife receives Hae Soo gently, she has regarded Hae Soo as a biological child, because she never gave birth. Prince Wook treats Mrs Hae very well according to the royal custom, though she never expressed love. For a prince of love need not be counted in marriage, because the status of the wife as a member of a strong clan family will strengthen the power of the king. A prince is obliged to support the power of the king's father, without exception.

Wang Wook behaves in a way that causes Hae Soo to feel comfortable, while Wang Wook finds something different in Hae Soo, something that causes him to fall in love, something never spoken in marriage, until the death of Mrs Hae. Is Wook in power to marry Hae Soo, for love?
While Prince 4, Wang So-directed Lee Joon Ki arrived back to Songak from exile, abandoned by the Empress. Wang So was still a child when King Taejo decided to re-marry the king's power, the empress refused by threatening to kill Wang So, a missed knife, the face of Wang So causing lifelong disability. Wang So was sent to live with Kang's family outside Songak, so what Wang So studied during his life was violence, when he had to fight with humans and animals to survive. His flawed face is covered with a mask as a king's gift given every year. Prince So looked like a monster, his gentle heart covered with a frightening mask. Is it true that So's behaviour is as bad as the mask worn?

Hae Soo can not escape from association with all princes, even crown prince, she must put herself with difficulty, due to rigorous royal order. It turns out Wang Eun's 10th and 4th prince Wang So also fell in love. How could So ask the king's permission to marry Hae Soo? Hae's death causes Goryeo's relation with Hae's extended family to be cut off, unless Hae Soo becomes the successor, married to King Taejo who has 3 consorts and 27 concubines and has been aged over 60 years. Both of them never knew well, especially love. A king does not need love, he needs to reinforce power by marrying a woman of a large family who would be willing to support his policy. Hae Soo refuses a marriage offer with King Taejo --played by Joo Min Ki, to continue his broken relationship, to be the wife of the thirty-first king means only to be touched on the night of the bride, the rest he will be confined to a palace puppet that will never be counted. Wang So and Wang Wook have knelt also to cancel this marriage, will still King Taejo can not change the decision.

"That a king can not marry a woman who has a scar ...." Is a rule that can not be changed, then in the bridal clothes Hae Soo bravely broke the ceramics, scratching the hands to bloody wounds. On the basis of this wound, she had reason not to marry a king with very bad consequences she had to work as a lady at Damiwon's herbal house. An adaptation must be done or it will die. Is there a sense of love So and Wook changed with his low status as court ladies? If that attitude does not change, then marrying a lady is an almost impossible permission from the king. The lady has no clan, no allies who serve to strengthen Taejo Wang Geon power. While the story continues to roll, King Taejo is furious, due to Wang Mo's assassination plan, Crown Prince.

Although the king had known that the consort of Sinmyeongsunseong was the principal actor, but he was unable to punish the empress, a great dispute would ensue. He had to sacrifice one person for his status as king, though the figure was the lady's beloved lady, the lady Oh Damiwon's head, the herb house. King Taejo loves Ladies Oh, but for a loving king, it is not an excuse to marry, except Oh have troops to strengthen the position of head of state. Although Oh sincerely care to serve every day, but the love story has ended up here. Hae Soo is slandered as a culprit who poisoned the crown prince, ladies Oh bear the burden, she has stomach cancer, her age will not belong. She sees Hae Soo as if he were young. The message conveyed to Hae Soo, is to leave this place or will be a victim of a quarrel of princes who are fighting for the throne, and will end on his death. Hae Soo has suffered severe physical punishment, when King Taejo decided Oh's ladies as perpetrators and deserve to be hanged. Hae Soo kneels in the sun and the rain begs the king for the punishment to be overturned, but the king never changes the decision.

Soo is very hopeful that Prince Wook will come to reach out, but Wook the beloved prince looks away. Soo knows, the story with Wook ends up here. However, suddenly So came shadow Soo with a cloak of rain. So understand to the prince that she can actually lean? Though the punishment for the Oh lady still continued, the sincere woman volunteered herself as a "killer" to death with a choked neck on the gallows. Soo realized, being a small part in the palace means always close to death.

The death of King Taejo, the murder of the successor king, Hyejong by the conspiracy of the prince, the hatred of Yeon Hwa's sister Prince Wook, the continuous dispute and bloodshed in the palace environment leads Hae Soo to understand, the monarchy causing the infinite king's power, the throne inherited to the son The crown by forgetting the prince of another wife is a system that gives no sense of security, not only to the lady as a child, but for the prince concerned. The Empress sought the title of the queen mother with absolute power in the palace, she was willing to kill, press the prince without the crown prince to become king, marry the biological daughter with the king in the status as a stepbrother without love to exert her power. Only the rulers of the palace can fulfil all their desires. As recorded in history, when Prince Wang Yo who eventually became King Jeonjong died of illness, Prince So seized the throne. Hae Soo has been aware of this, but she is not authorized to change anything. So then titled King Gwangjong, he investigates the death of King Hyejong, and gets proof that Prince Wook and Chae Ryung's ladies are involved. Prince Wook is ostracized, Chae Ryung gets corporal punishment until her death. Hae Soo, now the lover of King Gwangjong. Will the love of the king lead him to marriage? Will he survive in a palace, a magnificent building of historical value with the absolute power of the king, greed of the empress, princes, even the princess's daughter. As well as being loved, she is only a lady, has no influence, has no army to support the king's throne. She can make a king feel comfortable, but not able to make strong.

Or indeed she is just a spectator in a three-dimensional movie that seems to be the main actor in a story about the seizure of the throne. Hae Soo realizes she will not get a peaceful life and marriage by staying in the palace. Behind the magnificent wall, the throne, the glory of life, in fact, the absolute monarchy caused the court life to be very cold and lonely. In absolute monarchy absolutely no democracy, freedom of thought and new opinion in the form of shoots that have not yet been planted to grow into buds and develop as a shady tree. Despite the fictional tale, Hae Soo has a choice, she has to choose, although his lover --King Gwangjong becomes very angry. Acting IU, Lee Joon Ki, Kang Ha Neul and all the supporting artists are so convincing, heart-wrenching songs, lovingly illustrated love stories, beautiful setting, poetic dialogue, real written history causing Scarlet Heart Ryeo into 20 episodes of Korean drama that is not just entertaining, but it is worth watching as a history education, local culture as well as a long process of tortuous democracy until finally to the present moment. When absolute monarchy collapses, democracy becomes a guide in the life of the state, so the royal family or head of state can marry the couple their loves.
