The Royal Tailor
Synopsis
Dol-suk tailored clothes for three generations of kings before finally becoming the head of Sanguiwon. A stickler for principle, he denies the queen’s request when she asks him to replace the king’s robe that was accidentally burnt by a gungnyeo (female attendant). He insists that to do so would be against court customs. Anxious to cover her mistake, the queen looks for a designer elsewhere.
She is introduced to Kong-jin, a young designer whose good looks and dazzling talent have charmed every woman in the capital. Kong-Jin falls in love with the queen at first sight, and he uses his extraordinary gift as a tailor to save her from blame. He subsequently becomes a tailor at Sanguiwon and begins a prosperous career.
Soon Dol-suk - who upholds rules and customs with the utmost reverence - becomes jealous of the rebellious young designer’s talent. His jealousy and relentless pursuit of beauty ends up causing an unprecedented scandal that shocks the entire kingdom of Chosun.

Finally...............some straws for news starved fans
Thanks to diena11. It looks like a first mature role for Shinhye. Although, she does choose her movie roles on a more serious note. We have seen that in Evil twin, Cyrano agency, Gift of room 7 and now Sanguiwon . It does increase our anticipation a lot.......to see her in a Sageuk role.
