The Red Sleeve (Korean: 옷소매 붉은 끝동; RR: Otsomae Bulgeun Kkeutdong; lit. The Red Sleeve Cuff) is a South Korean television series starring Lee Jun-ho, Lee Se-young and Kang Hoon.[1][4] It aired from November 12, 2021, to January 1, 2022, on MBC's newly established Fridays and Saturdays at 22:00 (KST) time slot.[6]
Based on a novel of the same name, it tells the record of a royal court romance between the King of Joseon who believes his duty is to his country first above love, and a court lady who wants to protect the life she has chosen.[1]
Cast[]
Main[]
Lee Jun-ho as Yi San, later King Jeongjo: the arrogant and perfectionist grandson of King Yeongjo. He constantly strives to become a benevolent king, but his father's death has left an emotional trauma in his heart.[4]
Lee Se-young as Seong Deok-im, later Royal Noble Consort Uibin Seong: a court lady who wants to live the life of her choice, rather than just be one of the numerous court ladies called "the King's women".[8]
The series was originally scheduled to premiere on November 5, 2021, but it was delayed by a week due to program adjustment for the broadcast of a professional baseball game.[44]
On December 9, 2021, it was announced that the series would be extended by one episode due to its popularity and would end with 17 episodes.[45] Due to the extension, episode 13 aired on December 24, while episodes 14 and 15 aired on December 25.[46]
It was reported that filming started in May 2021 and continued filming for about seven months until December 21.[47]
^Due to multiple ratings not recorded, the exact average ratings is unknown.
