Joseon Dynasty Annals is a groundbreaking historical cartoon in which characters appearing in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty have conversations through a virtual chat window called 'Toktalk'.
Following Volume 1, “The Birth of the Joseon Family,” Volume 2, “The Joseon Family’s Action,” Volume 3, “Joseon People’s Real Talk,” and Volume 4, “The Scattered Joseon Family,” Volume 5, “The Two Queens,” has been published.
Volume 5 begins with King Hyeonjong, who inherited the throne from King Injo and King Hyojong, who had a difficult time dealing with the aftermath of the Manchu invasion in Volume 4.
The factional strife represented by the Yesong Controversy became intense during the reign of King Hyeonjong.
King Sukjong frequently caused revolts to suppress factions in order to establish the king's authority, but despite this, the strife between factions did not disappear and continued even until the death of King Gyeongjong.
This period was a period of continuous political chaos due to the struggle between the king and his subjects to establish the authority that had fallen after the war, but with the nationwide implementation of the Daedong Law, the country was able to overcome the scars of the war and achieve a certain degree of economic stability.

The webtoon "Joseon Dynasty Real Talk" is so high-quality that you can learn about history just by reading the best comments, as not only history book readers but also Korean history majors and history nerds leave comments.
Published chronologically, the Joseon Dynasty Siltok is a historical comic that stands out in terms of both fun and learning, as it contains not only explanations of parts that the comic book Siltok did not cover in the "Siltok Magnifying Glass" but also historical interpretations.
From adult readers who are interested in history and middle and high school students studying Korean history to elementary school readers who became interested in history thanks to Joseon Dynasty Siltalk, once you get into 'The Conversations of Those in the Joseon Dynasty', it is difficult to break away from the fun.
As the number of volumes in the series increases, the number of readers waiting for the complete publication of Joseon Dynasty Siltok is also increasing, and in fact, Joseon Dynasty Siltok is being used as a history class material in over 1,000 middle and high schools.


There is a fierce drama between two queens, kings vs. subjects.
Let's meet the Hyeonjong, Sukjong, and Gyeongjong families.
Volume 5 of Joseon Dynasty Siltalk tells the story of King Hyeonjong's family, who became king after King Injo and King Hyojong barely managed to recover from the aftermath of the Manchu invasion, which was a greater defeat than the Japanese invasion in Volume 4.
What was given to King Hyeonjong were scholars from the forest armed with the king's authority and legitimacy that had fallen to the ground.
The debate over whether Queen Dowager Ja-ui should wear mourning clothes for one year or three years, which began after King Hyojong's death, ended with the victory of the Seoin faction, including Song Si-yeol, and the decision to wear mourning clothes for one year.
When his mother, Queen Inseon, died, King Hyeonjong attempted to counterattack against Sanrim, but King Hyeonjong, who had been weak since childhood, could not last long.

Sukjong, who grew up seeing Hyeonjong struggling with his subjects, created several revolutions in order to establish the king's authority and engaged in a fierce power drama with his subjects.
It is no exaggeration to say that Queen Inhyeon, Jang Hui-bin, the Seoin and Namin factions were supporting actors in the drama created by the absolute monarch Sukjong.
Because of this, the childhood of King Gyeongjong and Prince Yeoning was unhappy amidst political chaos.
The subjects who were oppressed by King Sukjong took the timid King Gyeongjong lightly and made Prince Yeoning (later King Yeongjo) the crown prince in the first year of King Gyeongjong's reign.
In Volume 6, we can see what kind of king Yeoninggun became, having grown up watching factional strife since childhood, and having a complex about the fact that his mother, Sukbin Choi, was a concubine and that he was suspected of assassinating King Gyeongjong.
