There are some great moments between our prince and princess in this episode. (Touch! On purpose!) The rest I could take or leave, since a lot of setup there and people shift their alliances (and again they move) before the other shoe drops, and that usually only makes me want to skip to the part where everyone takes a damn page already so we can see the consequences. But whatchoo now do-if each is to double cross all others, it is a kind of an infinite loop is ... until someone is the scapegoat
. Note: The recap for Episode 16 is a bit delayed because we're remodeling episodes recap schedule a little, and on Tuesday will give us a little longer from here to get up. But it comes, we promise!

EPISODE 15 RECAP
Yeongjo gives Sun a chance to be reinstated, as Prince-Regent-all what he has to do is take the Qing envoy, who are on the road and ready to declare war happened (a naval skirmish with a fishing boat Joseon), and stop a war. Oh, is that all?
he makes it clear that is a double-edged sword to take on the task, because when Sun is successful, it needs again to be Regent, but if he fails, he will forever of his rights to the regency are deducted. this means that he will never practice policy over and over again. Yeongjo ensures add that he is not just forgiving him because he is his only son. I'm pretty sure that no one here thought you would. But his point stands still, he is happy to find a successor elsewhere.
, the extreme conditions of the transaction does not dissuade sun, and he agrees to the challenge to take to persuade the Qing envoy, ignoring their demands gouging. His father-in-law to hear flail that he agreed to do it, but Sun retains his sunny serenity and assured him that he'll be fine. A run with Advisor Chae Sun has mood darken, but he goes by without a word.
The Norons ask why agreed on Earth Sun, employ such a crazy, if it is them obvious that there is Yeongjo attempt to knock the Prince and Norons in one fell swoop. Where the Qing are concerned that Norons have no influence and no hidden cards and Kim Taek decide that they are better to cut to these compounds with Sun.
Advisor Chae sneaks a meeting with Sun head court lady and asks the same burning question on everyone's lips-what Sun thinking to take a business like that? He asks you what type of person who thinks the sun, because the prince was he did not know that rash. He is naturally concerned, but Court Lady Choi is wary his motives because he betrayed to the king next stand
But this time Advisor Chae says honestly that he wants to help Sun. "If he loses his position as crown prince, then my departure has no meaning." Whoo, we are together again, to get the tape?
that their consultants Chae Prince to show secret library, convinced where it says that he has spent most of his time in the last three years. has now Chae sees that Sun amass his time a wealth of knowledge about the world of other nations spent politics, cultures and military strategies.
Sun archery skills have also become more sophisticated in the intervening years, and he now hits its target with precision. Princess Hyegyeong comes to see him, and he knows immediately that his word Qing mission traveled to her palace.
But their interactions do not have the same defensive edge that they used, and she says that she thinks of pleasant recording archery as a hobby, because he told her to find something of interest. She noted that it must help to clear the mind and relieve stress because it almost every day here.
He agreed readily, they are trying to leave, and gives her his bow. She takes an arrow but does not have the strength to pull it with every power back, so Sun his arms wrapped around them to move with her and reassure her goal. Oh my. He takes his sweet time to do it, too their faces are compressed and Hyegyeong is nervous, very aware of how close they are.
But Sun never takes his eyes off the target and shoot with the same precision, congratulating them on the good shot. He is surprised when she to him revolves with tears in her eyes full when she asks if it like an arrow is already, which has remained the left temple there is no go on this mission back to the Qing envoy to put?
asks if he could with genuine concern not just wait instead for another chance to be reinstated. But Sun says he has seen too much to sit from the world and wait comfortably. He says that if there is something he can change to help, then he has to stand up and try, and asks for their understanding.
When Sun to its library back Advisor Chae, is still there, poring over the books and maps. He starts to explain, but Sun has been informed that he would be here, and we see that outside Court Lady Choi smiles to himself in the successful reunification. Aw.
Advisor Chae is impressed that Sun Qing studied so intensively, and notes that he even learn their martial arts. Sun says it to learn a necessary step in the military defense as the enemy fights and your army to train, to do the same and says that the time of the kings a bag packaging and in times of war runs must come to an end , He intends to be the kind of king, the fighting at the front.
Your immediate way to stop a war, however, and Sun says that the key to convince delegates is the Qing that Joseon desire for peace is trustworthy. He worries what price they will ask for the show of confidence, and Advisor Chae says they have to find a way, as a friend to appear, and not be an enemy too cautious.
Advisor Chae suggests that he enlist the help of Norons to wine and the ambassadors dine, because that is the kind of politicization is they do best, and should that to his advantage. Sun smiles him warm and admits that he regrets at his side not Advisor Chae. Traveller Chae again says he hopes it will serve in the great palace when King.
Yeongjo brings the two surviving Soron Minister back to the palace, offering them a drink. He says that he come to appreciate their open denial about Noron style conniving, even if he makes it clear that he does not need one ounce of loyalty from them. What he wants, it is, people who serve the country and doing their job (and against you Noron-let's be real here), and tells them to come to court.
of the king's eunuchs asks him later, when he brought to help the Soron Minister Back Sun, but Yeongjo he says they brought back, because he knows Sun will fail. The mission was designed to fail and Yeongjo know better than anyone that when the difficult situations that transform Norons back solar That's when he will be with the Sorons kick in and fix the problem yourself, squeezing two enemies with a shock. But he leaves his eunuchs last question dangling in the air: "And what is happening with the Crown Prince"
As expected, the sight of Soron Minister return all with King clearly go hand in hand with Sorons, it allows them to take no side in court gets wheels Kim Taek spiders, and he explained that the Norons need after the Prince back. They realize they have to help Sun to succeed, and Kim Taek says her future now rides on how well they tame the prince.
bring sun to gibang just to do that, and he plays the role of the timid novice politician beautiful. They are convinced that he is afraid of his thoughts about the Qing envoy, would inflate with assurances that she would handle everything, and he needs only rely on them. Sun agrees easy to do this, and they can convince him to relax, instead of providing its pretty little head about important issues of the state on its own.
Outside Bingae (Ji -dam) and Woon-Shim eavesdrop with scornful looks on their faces. At the same time former policeman Byun meets his old friends officer and asks how much the premium on a traitor these days. Uh-oh, we see that he is the man who was to Bingae about the other night, and he now says that he Seo Ji-dam found.
Fortunately word Woon-Shim achieved the threat of injury, and it goes by quick note to Sun that Bingae was found and officers to arrest on the way you are now. It ends quickly his party and sends the Noron Minister home, but as they are about to leave, the officers come and explain their purpose. Damn it.
You Woon-Shim suspicious and internally send the officers to look eye on the supposed traitors. Inside Bingae Sun refuses to accept help, stubborn that they would rather die. But when officers stormed come in, he gave her no chance to argue and creeps them out. Woo-Sub is ready with a horse in the back, and they take the safety off.
They are far from in the clear though, because you have raised the suspicion all around. Kim Taek calls his grandson to wonder if Sun has regular gisaeng he sees, and the grandchildren repeated the conversation he overheard between Sun and Woon-Shim, which means that he knew the new gisaeng.
Woon-Shim is tortured for information, but do not say a word, so Kim Taek sends Minister Min sure to ask that Sun went back to the palace as said he would really.
At the same time learns Hyegyeong that Sun ran hide her with Bingae, and goes to find out whether by Court Lady Choi is true. When she arrives, Woo-sub is asking only about Court Lady Choi for their help in something urgent and Hyegyeong interrupts to ask where the sun is.
At the time, as Minister Min gets, both the Prince and Princess servants are out, and the sun and Hyegyeong shoes are bend on the front, lined up. Court Lady Choi says Hyegyeong not feeling well, so Sun to comfort her when he arrived back. Minister Min sees his son Woo-Under standing guard as well, and decides everything looks normal
But he gives these things to Kim Taek, whose mind jumps immediately to the other scenario that Minister Min does not take into account. : that Sun Woo-sub alone returned.
Minister of War Hong investigated officer Byun Ji-mother to confirm identity, and asks how he can be sure that she was there. Officer Byun says bitterly that it is because of her that he was deprived of his status and lost everything-her is a face that he will never forget.
hasSun taken with a monk's robe to keep Ji-dam to a temple, and covers her shoulders warm. She's still emotionless and cold to him, but this time Sun leaves his sincerity by show when he about the things that reminded she used to write.
She says she can not remember these things, because too much time has passed, but Sun says that Ji-dam he knew a brave girl was who would sit on the line someone else deleting names. He remembers with clarity the things they said to him when he was imprisoned, and eventually turns to see him in the eye.
He asks if she won 't find the courage once again to survive and give him another chance to right the wrongs and her father's name delete. She goes to her room and ponders his question and their conviction to give their lives to destroy the royal family.
The Norons gather to report what they have found and Kim Taek, he says a bad feeling got is about. One of them asks what it means when Sun has really Ji-dam helped escape what is the face he shows lately? Minister Hong answers: "A mask." They conclude that if this last phrase is true, Sun has not by the person, he changed three years ago, and he could sharpen his time spent his knife the Norons stab in the back.
Woo-Sub and Court Lady Choi arriving at the temple back to escort the sun in the palace and warn him that it's been a hiccup-Hyegyeong, knows everything. They bring Ji-dam with them to the palace, and from the shadows, Officer Byun watches them together to leave the temple.
They bring a maid dressed in and if they find that Hyegyeong has not yet returned to their palace, Sun braces go in front in to see them. She says that during her years palace life, it is always the expectations of the sun had, but he always went outside these expectations. Today is no exception, as they hoped he would return safely ... but alone.
asks if it is because he missed Ji-dam, the lot, to risk everything for them. But Sun answer is that he felt regret and fear, because it is one of his men, and he is not protecting them. He says that he as a sinner felt not protect, who said that her dream was one day to live as citizens of a king who would serve his people as heaven for humans.
Sun admits: "more than the danger that I, because of her face, which, more afraid of face-to-face what I come with me-me not having the power to protect its own people. " Hyegyeong replies that it is not wants to understand a man who risked his own family to save others. "But ... a heart for people who wish to protect it, even if you have to act your security, in order to do so, if that the heart of the Crown Prince is, no, the future king ... then is a heart that I want to lose. "
and so Hyegyeong takes Ji-dam as maid of honor at her palace in. one of her court girl has fallen ill, so Ji-dam to take their place, and Hyegyeong asks what they want to be because they can no longer live called by their proper name. Bingae is the name she chooses, and Hyegyeong gives her the surname Park, because that's the girl's name they shall be replaced.
So now the conversion is completed, and Ji-dam has Bingae become official, the court girls (and future King Consort Park, history tells us). Hyegyeong reminds them that their presence brings the Prince in danger and warns Bingae to live as if it is dead.
, and then in a surprising turn, reported to officers Byun Chul-joo, of all people. What's what? Why would sign Bingae to the police when you are on the same page? It turns out that this is all part of Chul-joo plan to get Bingae in the palace, and the Norons Aaaaack rotating against the sun, people, you're the wrong enemy to fight!
Chul-joo asks officer Byun, if he does not leave the regret Norons-they have the power to reinstate him after all. But officer Byun know from experience that it is only to be cut off a tail at any moment, and he would prefer a person under Chul-joo command to live as.
We see that Chul-joo has amassed a group of rebels, and he leads a meeting with the statement that they will be myung Hoot and sa for sand alone to disperse them as grains of sand, but together are their mighty cries heard and change the world.
Woo-sub returns home that night a suspicious father, who asks where actually the prince went today. Woo-sub insists that Sun returned to the palace, and that he only guarded the prince, because that's his job. But Papa reminds him that his job is to see the prince and report his actions to the Norons, and that if he is mistaken by, see her family ruin.
Once she has shown to her room, Bingae gets immediately put to work on her first mission of Chul-joo. record everything they can find out about the prince or the king, and their current status
the Qing envoys arrive, and the Norons arguing again over whether she should help the prince. Minister of War Hong yelling at his colleagues that this is a matter of national security first they have to help Sun for the benefit of their country to reach a peaceful settlement, and then deal with it later. At least you have a logical person here.
The session begins and the Qing envoys come strong with the demand for free rein in Joseon waters of Qing vessels and new ports built expressly for their use. If Sun counter, they door number 2 provides the dispatch of 50,000 Joseon soldiers of the Qing army to support. What. They add the suggestion that the Crown Prince of the army can command himself, and in this case believe their emperor, completely in his loyalty. And of course, they remind him that there is always door number. 3: War
Sun for time asking his ministers to consult, and they give him three days. When Sun meets with Norons argues War Minister Hong vehemently opposed the deployment of troops, they would leave unprotected. Sun wants to try the ambassador again and persuade, and Kim Taek has to go and the best ginseng available procure for Sun to present as a gift. Minister Hong Sun casts of thinking about the good of the nation of his reign, and Sun asks what's wrong.
Advisor Chae asks Yeongjo what he plans to do the regency when Sun succeeds but Yeongjo scoffs that there is no chance he will-there is absolutely no possibility of this, with no way in any to enter in one of its demands, and it will all would fail known along this Sun.
Woo-sub warns Sun that Norons suspicious him are, so that he can observe objects Woo-Sub Kim Taek carefully. Kim Taek goes to procure the rare ginseng, but curious, he goes to Chul-joo to do so. Chul-joo remains hidden behind a door and refuses to show his face, but does help a deal Kim Taek, the back with ginseng and a suspicious smile on his face in the palace.
officer asking Byun Chul- joo, Kim Taek why they of all people, but Chul-joo says that they just go hand in hand with the enemy of their enemy to help. What they need is time, accumulate public opinion on their side, if they are going to change the world.
Sun sets Woo-Sub on guard about the ginseng, challenge awaits. But there is no disturbance overnight, and Sun passes the envoys with gifts to meet in readiness. Chul-joo observed the procession and took note of Bingae, and says that today the Prince's reign be stripped for good.
And again, Kim Taek says that he is a little sad that they cut down such a life of the young man. Hmm, I'm sure you weep over it in your sleep.
The Qing envoys are impressed by the generous gifts and they are willing to compromise. That is, until they get to the grand finale at the best and rarest and ginseng-you can find all the rot and infestation by maggots. The envoys are offended sun is shocked, and negotiations are made.
COMMENTS
This was a plot -heavy follow all setup and no payoff, so it was not particularly exciting to watch. I suppose the result in a row of tomorrow could ramp up the tension, but in spite of the use to be high, I do not have the same level of interest feel when the conflict is external rather than a direct confrontation between father and son. Granted, Yeongjo is still controlling the external conflict as a means to further Sun and put him in his place, but I did find interesting nor the machinations less overall.
I like the court of policy that a battle of wits is, when the sun and Yeongjo maneuver to gain ground against the Minister, or against each other to enact policy. Policy on bribery is not only less attractive but also really simple dramatic. When they opened the boxes of ginseng and found them to rot, I went Well, duh . What did you think would happen if you entrusted such an important task to Kim Taek? I was frankly disappointed again to see a flash of naive sun, because he seemed to have learned his lesson to be too trusting about to become only the unsuspecting victims again. I really hope there is another twist on the line, because the best part of a couple of years ahead in the history of skipping that now we countermoves to anticipate Sun condition that rival his enemies. At least that's the hope, anyway.
Advisor Chae seemed moved, really to discover that Sun still had not been to spend a spendthrift his year, and impressed with the level of studies he has-to do that makes want to see me the scholarship, as these put to good use in a situation where he will meet foreign emissaries on a common base may be able to share his knowledge about their country with respect and win their favor again , It seems even more difficult, and so satisfying than to present them with bundles of loot. And more than anything, I want Sun to succeed where Yeongjo is sure he will fail.
The only scenes that were really moved me in this episode Suns moments with Hyegyeong (which are still too few, but I take ll what I can get). I love how its dynamics has shifted in the three years that we skipped it did is subtle and neither has changed in the core, but there's more genuine concern that they allow to show itself on the surface. Now Sun shares his thoughts with Hyegyeong and asks for their understanding, which he never used to do. And Hyegyeong reciprocated show him how angry she is behavior at its decisive, as it worries them, and how it just does not work wants to understand sometimes.
It's too bad that I do not feel the same level of emotional investment in Sun relationship with Ji-dam / Bingae because I see the way how they describe nor sun in this episode-as one of his men that he failed to protect. It holds important meaning in this regard, but their relationship does not touch my heart, at least not yet. There is potential to change that, but now I'm invested in Hyegyeong so that it could hurt too much. I was so impressed with Hyegyeong response to Sun that they basically of everything he disapproved as man does; but as the future king, she respects him. It is their sacrifice to give her disappointment as a woman to support him as a queen, and I am so glad that this time Sun looks clear, and that they can not hide behind their pride. It is all the more reason, I do not want to see her heart break him. I know it seems inevitable, but hey, we are not writing history here again?
