Uireung: Part One | Part Two

I am watching a korean drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" and the word Noron and Soron has been mentioned lots of times. You stated the Noron (Old Learning) and Soron (New Learning) groups". Do you perhaps know what do the old and new learning mean? and also, why are those two groups enemies? Thank You

umhhhn! i just feel like a little confused when it says there that "When Royal Noble Consort Huibin from the Jang clan was killed, she pulled her son's penis" is it really true that he pulled his son's own penis? :) i get a little confused. because i really thought that consort hui really wants to protect the crown prince :) and another thing, prince yeon ing became the successor to the throne right?

why people wanted to be king/ queen / president/ prime minister? it such a hassle idea, they know that being one creats lots of enemies instead of friends. and during those ancient times most people don't have formal education. just listening to gossip and noproper investigation and greed, they think they made history great. what mentality. all I can say history repeat itself. the CORPORAL SINS.
We all die anyway, so what do you think, somebody will read history books? I doubt it.
