Queen Im Hwa-ryeong has spent decades surviving the palace with her sons alive — which was harder than it sounds, because the palace is a place where children die of political inconvenience. Now the Crown Prince is gravely ill, and the succession battle that she has been holding off with sheer force of will is beginning. The show follows her as she manages five sons with wildly different temperaments, an entrenched hierarchy that wants to be rid of her, and a king who is not always an ally — with the ruthless competence of a woman who has never once had the luxury of being only a mother. A palace drama that places a woman at the absolute center of political power and takes her there seriously.
