Their mother, Im Hwa Ryong, is the wife of a great king. But instead of having an aura of elegance and grace, she is a prickly, sensitive and short-tempered queen. Once more relaxed, she changed as people continued to push her buttons. She is a queen who sometimes abandons her pride and has even been known to swear! Every day of her life is full of trials, but she endures them, all for the sake of her children.
