We go to the highlight of the show, and the way and forth between our good and bad guys is still strong-every time the pendulum swings in one direction, you can feel the inevitability his return. It is so satisfying one day when he next is frustrating, but that is what our villain makes such a genius, right? On the other hand, it is also what makes our hero, well, our hero.

Yo-gwang says generously that his only wish is that things work well and be any happy, but his eyes flitting a few times to Soon-deuk, and its behavior is a little fidgety. Then a panel is supplied from beef, Yo-gwang and Soon-deuk squabbling over the meat, it made each other's attacks gasping. Jun and Yeon-hee note sharing with curiosity.

Hong-joo feigns innocence to ask how she could do something when their forces have lost. "It seems as if you want to kill me," Hong-joo noted. "Then do it."
Yeon-hee presupposes that Hong-joo is acting, knowing that they can not be killed, but warns that needn 't strangled or be stabbed be killed ". As you can see I'm going to break this curse and lock in a more terrible curse"
Hong-joo tells her to try: "see .. time who it is, dies, this curse bears "
Hong-joo of the shamans go to Notes in the city publish the cursed princess for Pest blame that kills people, warning that a terrible misfortune will befall them, if it is not stopped.

The queen widow argued that Yeon-hee has nothing to do with the plague, but the King recalled that he had been warned that this would happen if Yeon-hee to the specified palace they have not seen quiet day since, and damaging their presence in the government.

He also informs June rites tomorrow he will perform, and advises him to be with Yeon-hee through them because they probably fear is.
Masked Hyun-seo kills robotically prison guards and makes its way to Hong-joo cell. She says that they are not going only to stop, because it has lost its power, and without the people's wickedness, her black magic would have had no effect. It is because they are not willing to do their part to that they blame black magic: "Now that the black magic is gone, see what will hold them accountable."
The preparations for the ceremony made, and the Dowager Queen impressed on Yeon-hee, the need to go beyond a doubt to behave sublime. Then the royal family is in the town square, where the rites will be held, with Jun in the Princess entourage.

Hyun-seo steps forward and announces that a movement that scene will turn into a sea of blood. "Do not worry", Hyun-seo says among the gasps of horror. "I am here today to see the Heo of June." Swirl the shamans and their weapons train back towards the Royals.
June warns Yeon-hee, that this is a scheme and does not do anything for them. But her panic grows as Hyun-seo a hand raises his shamans to signal to aim.
"Shoot!" Hyun-seo commands.

Utter chaos erupts among the villagers who shout that the rumors were true. Upload up to her, and soldiers form a line to block the people from the royal party.
June takes Yeon-hee hand and they slip away from the scene. He leads them through the woods, but it holds and pulls her hand free to tell him, without going further. If Jun has again reached for her, she sends him flying into a tree, then running.
During a riot in the village erupts, Poong-yeon charges in the prison and grabs Hong-joo through the throat, growling that they should have killed them. He wants to know what she has done to his father.
She replies that Hyun-seo has spent his life in the service of the great work, abandoned and advises Poong-yeon to think, what to do for the good of the royal family. He refuses to let him swing, as a wave of pain hits him. She says that the royal family would only minute they throw it have no use for him. is dedicated to making him miserable, she says.
Poong-yeon goes away clutching his chest, and Hong-joo says is "the end, you will have no other choice but to do what I want."
Yeon-hee goes to Cheongbing temple and despite their warning June it follows her.
with an increased wave of Beset protests against the Princess visited the King Hong-joo in prison and asks what their intentions are. "I have nothing to lose", Hong-joo replies. "It is a very different situation Majesty, which has much to lose."
She says that since the royal family always people throwing away, if they are of no use to them, that the answer to his current dilemma :. Take them away and the princess sleep peacefully
The king asks suspiciously if that is their real motive. Hong-joo reminds him of his desire to be a good king, and told him to think of his unborn child. People need someone to blame and to swear, she argues. All have to do the king, one eye is blind and to give the princess: "The only one to kill the princess me I'll take care of everything.."
sounds The dark hiss of temptation (literally) in his ear. The king looks insecure and turns away, but not her words immune. "Think carefully," Hong-joo advises. "Do you want to give up the princess? Or will you give up the throne?"
Concerned about Yeon-hee state Poong-yeon Yo-gwang she asks to see June.
The Dowager Queen bows to the king to Yeon-hee job offers to dethroned, if only he will not give up the princess.
Poong-yeon is to ask next to the king who just answers: ". I want nothing to lose"
The king returns to prison, made his spirit. "Detect and run it The Princess," he says Hong-joo, smiling.
Yo-gwang comes to Cheongbing Temple June of bad news to say: The palace Yeon-hee gave up. Jun is stunned.
He finds Yeon-hee from her altar candles, and she says in a defeated voice, "I want to run away, where no one has." June replied firmly, "Yeon-hee-ya. Let's run away." He holds out a hand, and after a moment, she takes it.
Hong-joo performs their shamans to Yeon-hee temple, looking surprised no one to be found there. She takes in the burning candles, and her brow furrows five to see that not even light up.
Hong-joo called on the help of the king's soldiers in Yeon-hee to control who is on the run in June. The King bristles, her dark informed that this does not mean he trusts you or agrees with their will.
So Hong-joo goes after his Achilles heel, to tell him that people turn against him when on the turn can not Princess because he no proper king from the direct royal line, he is unable to govern properly, and the people suffer for it. It adds that the drought, famine and pestilence are evidence of the sky to leave the king.
Provoked, the king orders to keep her mouth shut. Hong-joo tells him are the words of the people before the princess return are. But none of these wags finger pointed to the King; they accuse the cursed princess for the effort. "Why do you hesitate?" She presses. "If you get rid of the princess, which is the cause of the plague and famine, the people you worship as a good king be."
the magic words. The king agrees to provide his soldiers, and tells Hong-joo, the Princess at all costs to capture. Hong-joo adds that, if it captures the princess, she wants Poong-yeon order to execute the king.
And the king orders Poong-yeon his spiritual fire on Yeon-hee to use, and Poong-yeon asks him to withdraw the order. The king kneels his old friend in the eye to see, assuming that it will make Poong-yeon hate him forever.
Nevertheless, it is something that he can not help the king says, and he asks for Poong-yeon up in the scorn to escape that will take him all his life, this opportunity to be recognized as true King has doggedly.
Poong-yeon asks: "If you turn all those who despise the princess, you will really be the king, you hope to be?"
The king acknowledges the point, but does not take the job back if Hong-joo captures the princess, the king will order Poong-yeon to burn them , and he will obey. If Poong-yeon refusing, the king will kill him with his own hand. The king says this with a beaten face and Poong-yeon sheds a tear.
Hong-joo scrolls through the Mauigeumseo, and know that some of it is missing. Asks Hyun-seo, what he's hiding, and leans in close to whisper in his ear: ".. You can me no longer refuse I do not want to show his back to you, not even"
His eyes flashed, and he asks robotically what she wants. It demands the end to the Mauigeumseo and forward it to bring to what he is hiding. Obediently Hyun-seo turns around and walks away.
COMMENTS
You got it, Hong-joo know her to hand as take you where it hurts does-or, on the flip side, how to seduce a person's heart just as . She is a master of manipulation, and that is one of the aspects of her character I had found most fascinating, especially in the earlier parts of the drama was over all, as to their true nature.
In fact, I hadn 't realized how much I had enjoyed and missed this trick for emotional manipulation until today came out in full force; deprived of their power, that's all she has left. But, as it turns out, with Hong-joo that silver tongue is almost a superpower in itself. If they whisper in their ears and playing Iago, I find the scenes more full of excitement as if it's evil spells-it makes the fight emotional (rather than magic) and human and therefore more grip.
I wonder if we will see more exploration of Hong-joo backstory, because I still want a kind of more of her; I know we have seen where their resentment of the kingdom comes and understand why they want to rule over them, but I find it interesting when they desperately to save themselves is scrabbling or turn the tables. I suppose everyone is more interesting when they are the underdog, and she is no exception, even if I do not want to enforce. But I like them brought low to see and fight dirty; it is like a cockroach in this way again fascinating, almost indestructible and repulsive.
But I suppose that the focus would shift even more on Hong-joo, an extremely effective villain that I do not want to that much more time to spend. I do not begrudge the time that we have spent on them, but their dominance is Yeon-hee constantly in the victim's address and Jun in the just protector, and I would rather Yeon-hee and Jun are active in their own destinies. I find myself thirsty for scenes with them; I am constantly make on the edge of my seat progress with candles and meaningful time together, instead of all this angst fully together, but separated to spend business.
not to say I do not think it is a valid conflict; it makes a lot of sense, and I do not even hate the queen widow, wanting to separate them, because in their worldview, which is a relationship, what is happening does not belong. It is ungrateful and she knows it, but she is a mother to raise a princess, and I their perspective. It is similar to the king, whose flip-flop could be frustrating, but its argument, I totally understand. It's a character I find realistic and weak, and therefore an unpredictable wild card; I do not like for pages to change it all the time, but I think he's acted wonderfully and his reasons are presented credible what I feel for him, even if I want to beat sense into him KO ,
But for the sake of the story I am glad that we have taken again Jun and Yeon-hee from the Palace, be ruled back to a world in which interaction only by themselves, where they will get real and Just another. It also arises in order underdogs again and can break a race against time-and Hong-joo to the curse. I want to see it again resourceful and resilient in order, even sweet and cuddly. You can be all of these things! They are not mutually exclusive!
