At the climax of the duel, the King manages to break Hong-rim's sword, and stabs him in the shoulder. While Hong-rim is pinned past his sword, the King asks him a final question: whether or not Hong-rim had ever felt love for him. Hong-rim replies, "No".

Production [edit]
Co-ordinate to historical records, after the death of his Mongolian-born queen, Noguk, King Gongmin descended into a life of homosexual immoderacy, hiring a squad of handsome male bodyguards of noble birth to serve in the palace in 1372. When one of the bodyguards made King Gongmin's 2d wife pregnant, Gongmin tried to impale him to quell the scandal, but was killed by the bodyguard's friends instead. Merely some historians disagree with this account, insisting that Gongmin was slandered in an effort to justify the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, and that the youths were merely bodyguards.[4]
