Splendid Politics (Hangul: 화정; Hanja: 華政; RR: Hwajeong) is a 2015 South Korean television series starring Cha Seung-won, Lee Yeon-hee, Kim Jaewon, Seo Kang-joon, Han Joo-wan and Jo Sung-ha. It aired on MBC from April 13 to September 29, 2015 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 22:00 for 50 episodes.
The Korean title Hwajeong is a shortened version of Hwaryeohan Jeongchi (literally "Splendid Politics").
Prince Gwanghae, son of a concubine, usurps the Joseon throne from his father King Seonjo's direct bloodline. Gwanghae executes the favored legitimate son, and exiles his half-sister Princess Jeongmyeong. Banished from the palace, Jeongmyeong lives as a commoner disguised as a man while plotting her revenge.
