Basic Info.

​In Joseon, a ban on marriage has been in effect for seven years. Initially implemented as a temporary measure to prohibit marriages during the selection of a queen or crown princess, the ban unexpectedly extended for years. As a result, no young man or woman in Joseon has been allowed to marry, causing widespread social and emotional repercussions throughout the kingdom.​

​"The forbidden spirit and other fantastical elements in the drama lack historical accuracy and should be understood as creative devices to emphasize romance and character relationships rather than historical authenticity. For instance, the Joseon Dynasty’s actual marriage laws focused on selecting a royal spouse from the noble class, with no restrictions on marriage among commoners. Furthermore, scenes such as the king referring to himself as a burden, a court lady disrobing in front of the king, and a military officer blocking the king’s sword are purely fictional and have no basis in the customs or practices of the historical Joseon royal family.
