The Royal Face Is Created!
The Queen Makers of Joseon, Nine Fragrance Attendants of the Palace
In this world, there are things that can only be seen when observed closely. People who do something without being conspicuous, those who quietly carry out the practical work without taking the lead, it is these people that one can only truly see when closely examined.
During the Joseon era, the fragrance attendants who touched the countenance of the king and queen were the closest aides to the royal family, the under-recognized figures of the Joseon court who held the most top-secret information within the palace walls.
They crafted the royal facial foundation, smoothed their skin, possessed the skills to alter their expressions, demeanor, and even physiognomy. Externally, they were the ‘hidden hands’ of the palace, providing such impeccable adornment. It was at their fingertips that the royal face was molded. They are the Queen Makers of Joseon, the ‘Nine Fragrance Attendants’ of the palace.
The novel “The Scent of Plum Blossoms” sheds light on the previously unexplored culture of fragrance attendants in Joseon, portraying the diverse facets of their self-esteem in a vivid manner. It delves into the story of a ‘deep understanding of the heart’ rather than just the tale of applying scents and powders, depicting the intertwined narratives of two mothers and two daughters surrounded by the fragrance attendants.
Cho Yeo Jeong’s Possible Character
In the captivating tale, Cho Yeo Jeong will play the character of Park Mi Ryeong, an herbal medicine seller. Despite having a child with an unknown father, she continues to work. Transitioning from her naïve beginnings, she eventually ascends to the role of a concubine.
Motivated by a desire for love from the master and seeking power within the royal court of Han Yang, she aims for more than merely being favored in the palace. Park Mi Ryeong undergoes growth and transformation throughout the narrative, revealing her intricate and evolving nature. This progression adds layers of depth to her character in the drama.
