It's series two, and it's gonna get dark. We're beginning the fractured fairy tale of the madness of Prince Sado of Korea, but we've gotta start with his future wife (and teller of his story), Lady Hyegyong. Meet her, her family, and the goose that officiates her wedding, accompanied by the dulcet tones of one Jason Hays.
