In the whole Joseon, Kim Household or Kim Clan of Gwangsan was currently the most prominent family, they had produced a Queen, also a lot of superb ministers and scholars. They were the second most powerful family after the royal family, The House of Lee or The Imperial Household.

Kim Household was powerful, respected, and many envious of them. On the other side, the expectations of Kim children were extremely high. The sons needed to pass the royal examinations, the daughters needed to marry to a powerful in-law.

What will change? Even if Kim Junmyeon was an illegitimate child, he wasn't an exception.

In the whole Joseon, illegitimate children couldn't really climb the ladder higher than legitimate children. They couldn't be included in the ruling class, and gained a little respect in their social life as a ruling class’s children. After all, they were just middle-class living in the house of the upper class.

What will change?  Even if Kim Junmyeon was talented in classical Chinese, poetry, and calligraphy, also excel the Confucian rites –in many aspects way better than his slack off half-brother, he was still an illegitimate child.

What will change?
