The Queen is married to King Cheoljong, played by Kim Jung Hyun. He is the reigning monarch, but he does not seem to have control over the country since the true ruler who wields such powers is the late King Sunjo's wife, the Grand Queen Dowager Sunwon.
Behind Queen Sunwon's propaganda is her younger brother, Kim Jwa-Geun, who desires nothing but power.
