The current discussion has been expanded as the question of the use of stunt doubles in such scenes in South Korea, and the methods of their use are not being questioned.

During a press conference for the drama, Jung Yumi shared, “I was initially worried about the nude scenes. It was a completely new experience for me, But these scenes are important for maintaining tension and driving the plot forward”.
The production team did not issue a statement directly addressing the already popular rumor, and neither the actors Yung Yumi nor Ji Chang Wook commented on the situation in question.

The decision to remain silent in the situation has led to the exaggerated spread of false information, and the K-drama stars’ silence on the matter has only fueled speculation.
The currently trendy drama follows the story of a queen who needs to outsmart her enemies while being torn apart by love for the king. The plot and the efforts of the stars have been highly praised by the fans.
However, its production cost has been questioned as the drama had a price of 30 billion KRW but features “multiple scenes of vulgarity and nudity”.
