— brief: ilhwa is an oc (original character) roleplay inspired by bridgerton, but set in the joseon era. think of a lovechild of bridgerton and a sageuk. there is a clan system in place, meaning you can either make up your own family (and choose a symbol to represent your clan), or join already existing ones!
— despite it being eight months since its conception, there is still an active community, willing to write and plot at every whim.
— the community is also supportive and welcoming, not to mention very literate.
— many successful events thrown in the past by the ilhwa team, that were lore-driven. even more casual events such as the gala / dance events have potential for character development.
— speaking of events, there is an ongoing gala / blind date in the palace ballroom! if you join now, it will be convenient to people with people right off the bat.
