The drama series will be about the life of King Muhyul of the Goryeo Dynasty, and Choi will take on the role of a Buyeo Princess with whom the king falls in love. Choi's character, who weds the king, is a dignified young woman who is highly competent in the science of medicine.

Producers of the show described Choi's character as a young woman who is forced to weather many storms in life and is an extremely strong person as a result of her past experiences.

For Choi, this will be her first appearance in a history drama series. She recently said although she is excited, she feels extremely nervous at the same time. She added that she decided to take the role because she fell in love with her character the first time she read the script.
