Here's a write up on the character Jang Hui Bin who is being forced to drink poison as a result of court intrigues:

https://www.historyofroyalwomen.com/the-royal-women/queen-jang-hui-bin-korean-femme-fatale/

Lady Jang’s relatives and accomplices were either executed or exiled.[29] The courtiers who opposed Lady Jang’s execution were exiled. Lady Jang’s son, King Gyeongjong, ascended the throne in 1720. However, he was chronically ill and died without an heir four years later. His half-brother, King Yeongjo, became king. Lady Jang was buried in a deserted place in Gwangju.[30] However, in 1970, she was reburied with King Sukjong and his other three queens[31]

King Yeongjo's rise to power is outlined in the recent historical drama Haechi.
