Bloody Heart is a fictional historical drama about King Seonjong who ascends to the throne due to a rebellion, and Lee Tae who becomes the king after him.[3]
It follows the story of Lee Tae—a king who has to abandon the woman he loves to survive, Yoo Jeong—a woman who has to become the queen to survive, and Park Gye-won—the first vice-premier and the real head of power in Joseon.[8][9]
Main
- He becomes the King of Joseon after King Seonjong. He dreams of absolute monarchy and becoming a powerful ruler, unlike his father. He believes any action is justifiable to achieve his goal.
- A free-spirited woman whom Lee Tae falls in love with. Lee Tae picks her as his crown princess and she gets tangled up in the battle for power, which leads to a crisis in her family.
- The first vice-premier who is a living symbol of power and a figure that everyone obeys. He is a "king maker" who is determined to create a wise and benevolent king, in order not to shake the foundations of Joseon by a tyrant ever again.
- King Seonjong's Queen Consort whose first love is Park Gye-won.
- Minister of War whose ambitions are blocked by Park Gye-won.
- Jo Won-pyo's daughter who is immature and arrogant.

Filming locations of the series include Yeongwol County,[32] and Yeolhwajeong Pavilion—located in Ganggol Village, Deungnyang-myeon, Boseong County.[33][34]
On February 3, 2022, it was announced that filming was canceled for that day after a staff and an unnamed actor tested positive for COVID-19. All production crew members subsequently underwent PCR test.[35] A day later, it was revealed that Park Ji-yeon and Yoon Seo-ah tested positive for COVID-19.[36][37]
On February 11, 2022, it was confirmed that actor Heo Sung-tae also tested positive for COVID-19, forcing filming to be canceled for that day.[38] Later on February 16, Heo fully recovered from the contagion and resumed his filming schedules.[39]
On March 11, 2022, Ha Do-kwon's agency announced that the actor tested positive for COVID-19 on the afternoon of the 10th, and all his filming schedules were cancelled.[40]
