This episode explored the theme of not giving to your lowborn status. Lady Jang was a lowborn but she made it to a high status because she would not give up. Her example inspired Dong Yi as well and made Dong Yi thought about her own status.

This episode explored the theme of the king showing love to his subject. When Dong Yi tried to climb over the palace wall because she was late, the king ordered the guards aside and let Dong Yi entered the palace without any problem.
