Only the problematic parts were quietly corrected.
Kakao Entertainment released the web novel ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife in Royal School’, which shares the same universe as the MBC drama ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife’, coinciding with the drama’s conclusion.
Just one day after the release, on the 17th, the team behind ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife in Royal School’ stated, “Corrections have been made regarding expressions in the manuscript for Chapter 25. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our failure to catch this during the review process,” adding that they would be more careful. They further requested, “We ask readers who have already downloaded the file to please delete it and re-download the updated version, despite the inconvenience.”
In Episode 11 of ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife’ aired on the 15th, a coronation scene for Byeon Woo-seok (Prince Ian) was shown. Despite Korea being depicted as an independent sovereign state, the newly crowned king appeared wearing a 9-line crown, which symbolizes a vassal state or a subject of an emperor, instead of the 12-line crown that represents a sovereign state.
Additionally, the officials at the coronation shouted “Cheonse! Cheonse! Cheon-cheon-se!”—a phrase used in vassal states—rather than “Manse,” the proper etiquette for an independent nation. This sparked strong backlash from viewers. The production team apologized, stating, “This happened because we did not carefully examine how Joseon’s etiquette evolved throughout history. We needed more thoughtful and in-depth consideration regarding the intersection of a fictional world and real historical context, but our efforts were insufficient.”
