The Authoritarian theory developed in Europe after Gutenberg. Aristocracy had the control what information be printed . In South Korea, Media people cannot produce things against the government. So the Media is controlled by the government. Government censorship affect the information that it published through the Press or media generally, in which journalists cannot right information or comment against the government unless if they are righting things without criticizing the government. The factors that affects this is mainly related to the government policies and control. So we can see that people have limited speech, and they should not say any word to criticize the government because there will be ended by a criminal charging. For example, In 2004, a South Korean court fined a student 1.5 million won for posting cartoons of national political figures. This cartoons mocked the political figures, which violated the electoral law (Plaza, 2015).

The series gave a full picture of Korean cuisine and types of property cuisines that represent delicious Korean cuisine and it is an important image in world cultures Food and methods of preparing it is a major component of the cultures of nations. One of the important issues is also representing the status of the women in Korea in the past and their place in society at that time. Korean society maintaining a strict ritual Privacy especially in dealing with women, we see from the series a long dress and a loose does not show temptation or depravity which is a very important point in the eastern mentality in general and the women in her talk to the man lower her head and  does not contact directly with the eyes, but in the series as we can see that the actress shows something of modesty. Also, the women cannot take any leadership positions at that time. But her mainly job is to work in the royal kitchen and take care of serving the food. In addition, the series show the image of the kings in their kingdom, and how kings was not able to give orders by them self, but there were a number of ministers who give them the chance of accepting or rejecting orders.
