This is SBS' first historical drama ever, and is apparently a fictional story about three women of different classes whose lives clash in a drama that's supposed to "reexamine the meaning of good and evil." The time period supposedly parallels Jungjong's reign, and the main characters are apparently fictionalized versions of Shin Saimdang, Hwang Jin Yi and the real Princess Jeongsun (DJG fans this is Yeon Saeng's daughter!). It started out as a daily drama but was eventually changed to a Wed/Thurs drama, due to relatively high ratings (highest being 20%). Yun Bobae the Saimdang fictionalization apparently has nothing to do with Yun Bobae, one of the pioneers of Catholicism in 18~19th century Joseon.

So the whole fictionalization of historical figures was a thing long before fusion dramas were given a name.

Clip from episode 1! Punishments depicted are social execution by boiling and tattoos denoting how she was punished. Social execution of boiling was reserved for disgraced noblemen where after being put in the pot, the soldiers would pretend to light the fire, then let the criminal back out.

Well done on that one, beat me to it!
You could add she's in steep trouble, I guess....
...but it's a good question, wondered that myself.
