Yi San (Hangul: 이산; Hanja: 李祘), also known as Lee San, Wind of the Palace, is a 2007 South Korean historical drama, starring Lee Seo-jin and Han Ji-min.
Sypnosis/Plot: Yi San dramatizes the life of Korea's King Jeongjo, the 22nd ruler of the Joseon Dynasty. Jeongjo is remembered in Korean history for his sympathy with the plight of the common man, in spite of his own pampered upbringing as royalty.
The drama begins with the King's early years, during which he befriends two children working in the Palace who are later expelled. King Yeongjo (Jeongjo's grandfather) seals Jeongjo's father, Crown Prince Sado, in a rice storage chest with no food or water because he fears that the crown prince is planning a coup. Jeongjo wants to save his father, and with the help of his friends Seong Song Yeon and Park Dae Su, begs King Yeongjo to forgive the Crown Prince.
The drama then skips forward to Jeongjo's adult years when he and his friends re-establish contact with each other. Throughout, Jeongjo's position as Crown Prince is threatened by palace intrigues.
The Crown Prince, Jeongjo, begins to fall in love with one of his childhood friends, Seong Song Yeon, whose father, a palace artist, died when she was young. The story then follows Yi San's rise to power, his assumption of the kingship, and the labyrinthine palace intrigues that he must constantly guard against from the No-ron Faction. While the show does deviate from the historical record in a number of ways, its representation of court life during the Joseon Dynasty appears to be based on contemporary sources.

Admin's Review:
Yi San is a historical drama that you will also in love. It’s very long but still good to watch. No boring moments, the characters were deep, rich and vibrant. The love story, friendship and loyalty were so exceptional. The story was most centered around the King and politics. The lead male actor Lee Seo Jin portrayed as the King. He was loyal to his subjects and people, he hates it when someone risks their own life for his, and always tries to protect them instead. He was simply the best.
You will love every minute of this drama series, you wouldn’t want it to end. I’m pretty sure you will have an interest about the life of Yi San (King Jeongjo of Joseon). He is the great grand son of Dong Yi (Choi Suk-bin).
You must watch also “Warrior Baek Dong-Soo”, “8 Days of Assassination Attempt against King Jeongjo) and “Secret Door” after finishing this (Yi San). Some point, they were related to Yi San. You will see the connections.
