Reception
The clothing, hairstyles, and accessories of the main characters have been criticized as anachronistic and historically inaccurate for resembling styles from the Chinese Qin dynasty and Warring States period. For instance, the appearance of Eul Pa-so has been noted to closely resemble a character from The Qin Empire.
Viewers have also criticized the gratuitous use of intimate scenes, claiming that they often feel out of place and interrupt the storyline. Unlike nationwide broadcasting channels which limit 19+ content, the rise of OTT platforms in Korea have led to an increase in "vulgar and filthy" scenes that objectify women and rely on shock value to gain viewership. Reviews have noted an excessive amount of degrading violence against women. An often cited scene is when the king's younger brother, Go Bal-ki, bends his wife over a table and, while having intercourse, impales her in the back with his sword. A few minutes later, he stabs a wall in frustration, accidentally killing a woman on the other side, and orders his guards to chop off the heads of all the remaining maids in the palace.
