I did some research on the Silla era to have a better understanding of some details. This story does not follow history exactly because this is fiction. Oddly enough though, my original story idea had some parallels and connections with what I researched. The true stories are even more interesting. Some parts were actually pretty comedic anyway so this just helped fuel my inspiration.

Also, most of the characters are real people based on real historical people from the Silla era so their names have been merged as if they were in a drama. Bohee is an OC, but her name comes from a sister of one of the historical figures, General Kim Yushin. Bohee has no family relation to this person in the story though. Questions on the story process are welcome!
