Seong Deok Im ´s death : what historians say: a thread #TheRedSleeve #LeeSeYoung #LEEJUNHO
Deok Im died at 33 years old, 4 months after her son Mun Hyo, while she was in her last month of pregnancy. At that time, the average life expectancy for a concubine was 56 years old, 50 years for the queen #TheRedSleeve
Nobody can tell why Deok Im died at an early age. But there are several hypothesis #TheRedSleeve
1/ Poisoning. San himself thought Deok Im was poisoned by an eunuch and wanted to sentence him to death, before finding out he was innocent. At the time, poisoning was a regular habit in the palace. #TheRedSleeve
2/ Liver cancer: this disease could explain the fast degradation of Deok Im health #TheRedSleeve
3/ Mental illness: Deok Im had 2 miscarriages and lost 2 children (Mun Hyo and a baby girl). #TheRedSleeve
4/ Preeclampsia: in 5 years as a concubine (1780-mid 1786), Deok Im has been pregnant 5 times. It was a lot in such a short time. Childbirth and post partum are the most common reasons of death for the concubines and the queens. Among all, preeclampsia seems to be most realistic.

Why #TheRedSleeve ending is it so sad and barely bearable ? A thread #LeeJunHo #LeeSeYoung
In the ep 16 of #TheRedSleeve, San is forced to rush things and makes Deok Im his concubine. To protect her from Hwabin but also from Queen Dowager who manifest very strong possessiveness towards Deok Im. If the queen Dowager makes Deok Im his court lady maid, she can’t be his
Even if San is the king, he can’t bedded a court lady maid from an another royal member without her permission. In a way, these events forced them to move on with their relationship, the status quo can’t no longer exist #LeeSeYoung #LeeJunHo
