The reigning queen (Myung Se Bin), already in her thirties,
is not married yet and has no children, so the court looks for a Crown Prince.
They encounter Lee Hoo (Se7en), a young man, the son of the empress' uncle.
However, another competitor arrives at the court: Lee Joon (Kang Doo),
the son of another uncle of the empress. They compete for the title of Crown Prince via a trial of
several tasks to determine the worthy future king of the country. Along the story,
Lee Hoo encounters an old childhood friend, Yang Soon Ae (Heo Yi Jae),
who works as a Palace Maid and falls in love with her. However,
Lee Joon also develops feelings for her -- and the court itself
wishes to matchmake Lee Hoo with the beautiful Shin Sae Ryung
(Park Shin Hye), the daughter of the Premier Minister.
Circumstances get even more complicated, as Lee Joon's
father (Chun Ho Jin) wants his son on the throne and uses
any and each method to achieve his goal. Meanwhile, Lee Joon
falls in love with Yang Soon Ae, too, and Lee Hoo finds out
about his mother's fate: Lee Joon's father made her leave
the palace and framed her. In the end, Lee Joon refuses his claim
for the throne and offers the position of Crown Prince to Lee Hoo.
All ends happily: Lee Joon leaves the palace and becomes a member
of a band, Shin Sae Ryung becomes a school teacher, Yang Soon Ae becomes
new internal manager of the Palace, Lee Hoo becomes Crown Prince and it
is implied that he will marry Yang Soon Ae
