The article needs revision: Unnecessary details and improper writing style

[edit]

Hello! I would like to raise a concern about this article. I'm referring to the Synopsis subsections which, for me, has contents that are quite unnecessary and irrelevant and is written in an style that is improper for the subject of the article. The said subsection contains many unnecessary, irrelevant and unverified details for an article about a television drama. It is supposed to be a synopsis of the drama's plot, but it now written with many unnecessary details from the drama and in a way as if it is an analysis of the historical accuracy of the drama. The former version of the Synopsis subsection would already suffice for this purpose, or if the subsection has to include more details from the plot then it should be renamed as "Plot summary," but it is questionable why there should be "Historic accuracy" part subsection in this subsection—and worse, a Quotation part. (Why? Is this article in Wikiquotes?) The recognize the effort in creating the image of the Seoraewon Corner Stone from the drama, but it really does not warrant inclusion in the article, since this is supposed to be an article containing the basic facts about the drama, not some historical veracity analysis paper. Also, the Cast subsection needs revision also. I hate to revert the edits relevant to all of the aforementioned for fear of being accused of edit warring. I hope this will be resolved as soon as possible. —Nairb.Idi9 (talk) 15:51, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One point only: For this viewer (watching with spoken Korean and English subtitles), the series is actually about the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty and the ongoing difficulties of historians to ensure their truth, so the quote encapsulates what several episodes are about.
