Description:

The Scent of Plum Blossoms delves into the rich, untold culture of the Joseon Dynasty, spotlighting those whose significant contributions often remained unseen. This compelling narrative weaves together the fates of two mothers and two daughters, exploring the subtle yet powerful forces that shape their paths. Central to the story are the Hyangbang Nines, the palace's most intimate and trusted aides. These masterful artisans possessed extraordinary skills, from managing the royal family's skin and expressions to subtly changing their very appearance. Known as the "queen makers" of Joseon, they held first-class intelligence, quietly orchestrating events and embodying the true "hidden hand of the palace." Driven by immense pride, the Hyangbang Nines firmly believed they were the architects of the palace's elegance, demonstrating that the most profound influence often stems from those who operate with quiet determination. This film invites audiences to look beyond the obvious, discovering the power of unseen figures.
