The Extraordinary Lady Kim
15 parts Ongoing Joseon Era
At the age of 25, Lady Kim has her own Ladies Academy where she and her friends taught reading and counting to women.
At an era when women usually marry at 15 and learnt how to please a man and illiteracy was common, Lady Kim was deemed as queer as an alien.
She didn't care, though. Her wealthy students paid her with silk, jewels and sacks of rice. She gave her money to the poorer ones and made them able to sell food or handcraft at the market.
However, her haters spread she was planning a revolution against the emperor.
Because of this, she was imprisoned at the Imperial Palace.
Enraged because he heard she wanted him dead, he decided to interrogate her himself.
Of course, after meeting her once, the emperor decided she had to be his queen.
