MBC’s The Red Sleeve is a period drama based on a novel of the same name. The show follows the romance between crown prince Lee San – who later becomes King Jeongjo of the Joseon era – and court lady Sung Deok-im. The series had first premiered in early November on MBC and wrapped up on New Year’s Day (January 1.)

In other K-drama news, Single’s Inferno contestant Song Ji-a has released an apology over wearing fake designer goods on the show. The lifestyle personality posted a handwritten apology on her Instagram account, following backlash from viewers.

“I want to apologize once again for everything that has happened due to infringing a designers’ creations and ignoring copyright”, Song added, as translated by Koreaboo. “As someone who has dreamed of launching a brand, I will recognise the severity of the issue and reflect upon this.”
