The story revolves around Hong-ryeon (played by Oh Ji-ho), a highly skilled and homosexual court painter who serves the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty. He becomes embroiled in a complicated relationship with the King (not explicitly mentioned but implied through context) and a courtesan named Gwang-ryeon (played by Jung Ryeo-won).
The plot explores themes of love, loyalty, and the societal norms of the era. The royal court and its members are under constant scrutiny, with strict adherence to Confucianism and propriety expected from everyone. The king's desires and Hong-ryeon's status create a complex dynamic, especially when Gwang-ryeon enters the scene.
The movie promises a deep dive into historical Korean drama, mixed with personal narratives of love, desire, and survival within the strict hierarchy of the royal court.
