The princes numbers are based on age, doesn’t signify power. Only the crown prince is higher up because that signifies the king wants to pass on the throne to him

- second: the 25 princes:
You will notice that there are missing numbers (princes) when they talk about the brothers, it's because mostly they died or their characters are not important, for example: the 2nd prince is dead. In the drama, only 8 of them are mentioned:
Crown Prince Wang Mu
3rd Prince Wang Yo
4th Prince Wang So (with the mask)
8th Prince Wang Wook
9th Prince Wang Won
10th Prince Wang Eun (Baekhyun)
13th Prince Baek-ah (Maybe it is nickname because historically his real name is same with 8th prince.)
14th Prince Wang Jung (Gook Doo hahaha)

I’m so glad that you’re finally watching this masterpiece!
- First of all, history:
The drama is about the rise of Goryeo. There was three kingdoms which are (Goryeo, Silla and Baekje). It was mentioned in this episode that the king Taejon, is the king of Goryeo. He’s the king who united the three kingdoms. After uniting the 3 kingdoms he replaced Goryeo with the new state of Joseon which is the last dynastic kingdom and the longest. “Korea” was derived from “Goryeo”.
Everything in the drama is based on historical facts except IU’s character.
