Description:

The Forbidden Marriage immerses viewers in a Joseon era grappling with King Lee Heon's enduring grief. Seven years after his beloved wife's passing, the king's refusal to remarry has prompted a nationwide "geumhonryung," a ban on all single women marrying, sparking widespread public fury. Amidst this tense atmosphere, Ye So Rang, a cunning swindler adept at interpreting martial harmony signs, finds herself in jail. Desperate to escape, she cleverly pretends to be possessed by a spirit in front of Officer Lee Shin Won, claiming the spirit of the king's late wife lingers within the royal palace. This audacious assertion quickly brings her face-to-face with the grieving monarch. Under pressure, Ye So Rang's initial ruse escalates into a daring act, as she pretends her body is possessed by the late queen, plunging herself deeper into a perilous web of escalating lies.
