Perfect Crown was never truly about the monarchy, the throne, or the crown itself.
In the end, Lee Ahn did not find freedom by becoming king.
Seong Huiju did not find happiness by becoming royalty.
They found it in finally being able to live not as symbols but simply as people who loved each other. And I think that’s what made Perfect Crown beautiful.
The crown was never the happy ending.
They were.

Knets are criticizing Perfect Crown for Ian’s coronation scene for historical inaccuracies.
1) In the scene, Ian shows up wearing the “Guryumyeongwan”, the hat with the nine beaded strings hanging from the front and back. That style was what Joseon kings traditionally wore when Korea was a tributary kingdom to China.
But here’s the thing: if Ian is supposedly becoming emperor of a brand-new independent empire with no higher sovereign, they said he really should’ve been wearing the “Sipyiryumyeongwan”, the hat with twelve beaded strings. That version was reserved for the most sovereign rulers.
2) When he sits on the throne, his parliament starts chanting “Cheon-se” (may the kingdom last a thousand years) instead of “Man-se” (ten thousand years). Back then, only the Chinese emperor got the grand “Man-se.” For the Korean king, people were only allowed to use “Cheon-se” because it was still a vassal state.
Just wondering if there’s any reason why they didn’t do the research on this or if there’s a plot angle to it because it’s supposed to be a fantasy drama.
definitely iu & byeon wooseok in #PerfectCrown literally know how to have a sincere kissing scene to the point the bts is even hotter than the ones showing in the drama
