EPISODE 12 RECAP
The morning after Sun acknowledges that his father Juk-pa signed the treacherous maengui document under the nickname he puts him wearing the fiercest of faces to see.
(former) Prime Minister Kim Taek watches this with a certain satisfaction that been you, the Prince of Juk-pa lace to send anonymous. he calls it a warning to the king, essentially threatening him down to take with him. Nobody defaced with Kim Taek and can expect to get away with it.
Before Sun a chance to have something to say, Yeongjo calls his company and takes to visit his mother's grave. Yeongjo mother was a water maid who Sukjong concubine (and the basis for the main character in Dong-yi ) was, and Yeongjo declared to have him along this fact ashamed as well as resentful. Had she remained a low-born servants who would have been one thing, but because it was raised to such a high status in a strictly stratified society, Yeongjo suffered constant contempt for their origin.
He describes how miserable was court life for him, and the wonderful feeling of freedom when he left and vowed never to return to the palace. However, he was taken with the legacy of his brother, King Gyeongjong, who had no sons, and had to return. Even before Gyeongjong died (... because you have killed him, at least in this drama of truth), Yeongjo was treated as a greedy usurper and murder targeted.
"In order to survive, I had to be king," he says. He looks pretty serious, as he says that he really wanted to be for his people a good king, but was so discordant between Warring caught, wasting time ", and at the end all I did was time." He wonders if he'll ever be able to adopt the reform he so difficult to manufacture, the equalized Military Tax Act has worked, which was mentioned in a previous episode. Meant the people to facilitate loads, it has met with resistance from the aristocracy who want to maintain their privileges to its own class.
There is a clever speech Yeongjo because his words are honest, while fully charged at the same time. He looks like the beleaguered benevolent king he wants to be, but we know what its gears rotate, and how good he is on emotional manipulation.
Sun, who has watched with a mixture of suspicion and disappointment his father all the time, says that Yeongjo yet these things not only with this particular bit could do legislation, but with even larger, comprehensive reforms. Yeongjo smiles and says that faith in him his son is a great support.
Yeongjo he says through the see reforms wish he had begun, and asks for help from Sun as it temporarily stores the power again. So he sets the prince-regent on ice? Sip. Sun says that it is of course not support just and fair contracts, which is a very confident statement; I always find it so fascinating when these signs have whole conversations in subtext, are ( I will do what is right ... even if that's not what you mean ), particularly when one side pretending not to notice how Yeongjo doing here. And the king draws his son in a hug while Sun stiffly standing, looking quite sick to his stomach.
Yeongjo makes his decision known to the court to return policy, uneasy reactions inspire all to his intentions. speculated the Soron faction that Yeongjo must risk his feeling on the princely power as to reduce them, and that the prince have the truth Yeongjo discovered the rise.
The Norons are as shocked. They would an immediate blowup expected when they are sent to the Prince of Juk-pa information so that they suspect that Sun did not disclose what he knows the King. Ex-Prime Minister Kim Taek scolds his slowness to act.
Princess Hyegyeong is understandably alarmed at the news that Sun has lost its power, and demands an explanation. Sun asks tired they want to leave today not to get into an argument. Hyegyeong asked that he do nothing, a crown prince does not fit, because there are many people at the court are waiting to pounce on him alone.
While Hyegyeong is and been argumentative sometimes angry, today met her genuine interest. She adds: "I say this not as a woman, but as the mother of our child San, now only three years old." She asks him to be careful because danger to him also threatened her son.
mention of the boy has a remarkably sobering effect on Sun (... as if more sobering required). Traveller Chae says he agrees with the princess move concerns with respect to the king as a direct threat to the sun How could he give up what little power he had? In addition, if the king he finds out, knows Juk-pa, Sun is completely vulnerable.
Sun says his adviser, as the king took him to his mother's grave and explained his reasons for wanting his bill into law to see. He says: "All that is true, but ..." Aie, I would tell him not to drop the tactics for his father, even though I recognize the same mixture of truth and conviction in his words.
Sun regarding talks on the facets of his father, others to see-not the man who is extremely economical, easy, enjoys and takes in his work. This is the man who spoke to this reform of working to improve the lives of its people.
He wonders what would the son of the king, but his brother had not been born so to (ie under suspicion in a way a direct inheritance would not be), and asks her if she does not defer judgment can for a while. He is stifled, as he says, he wants to wait a little, just to Yeongjo this Act is finished.
The king calls Sun with him on matters of a new prime minister to consult because Kim Taek was ousted. He shows him his top candidates and goes about their merits, to ask Sun for its input and gently guide him what he sees as the best choice. He sits down on the leader Soron, assuming that it is his turn, because the last one was Noron and thus decide the matter.
There is a lovely delicate interaction and carefully discussed as Yeongjo candidates, Sun looks at him with tearful eyes and a renewal of respect and love. You get the feeling that it is these small moments, however briefly, that Sun bracketed in darker moments.
The behavior of the Royals unclear politicians speculate about what they are planning. For now, the Noron stock decides on a wait-and-see approach.
Yeongjo the new Prime Minister announced to his council, and has some rearrangement of the offices. Teachers Park is made (of taxes) a minister, and he and Secretary of War Hong assigned to a new department, which will oversee Yeongjo reform. Sun looks almost unbearably proud of his father and Yeongjo also looks satisfied.
And so the inner circle (the King, Prince, Teacher Park, War Minister Hong) will work on the military tax reform project. The heart of the matter is that the tax burden for the classes are unequal, with the yangban (aristocracy) often exempt from paying. This represents an unfairly heavy burden on the commoners who are struggling to survive as it is, and Yeongjo wants to pave the tax rules and cut their taxes in half. This has the yangbans in turmoil, because in their eyes the idea of "all men are equal" is damaging and uncivilized, and they have to keep a vested interest in their class privileges for themselves.
Yeongjo declares that he will deal directly his people in the matter, and provides meetings where they are allowed to personally visit him and talk. Yeongjo shows no royal airs as he only goes to the poor people, squatting on the floor in front of them and keeps them as they weep from their fatigues and speaking. Sun looks in some surprise and awe, deeply affected by the sight.
The yangban politicians are not just sit back around and the king cut out in the court of public opinion, however, and Luke their own plans. Kim Taek takes the lead, of course.
The tax reform in motion, consultants Chae reminded gently Sun that time he requested comes to an end. Has he decided what to do about his father? Did he intend to cover up the 1724 murder plot?
Sun answered no, but significantly he has physical difficulties, the word "crime" in terms to say to his father. Nevertheless, they need more concrete evidence before acting, what they need is the original maengui document. The probability that in the hands of Kim Taek or his two cronies is high, but you need some kind of access in their inner circle. There is a way in, but so far their attempts to win the upright Min Woo-Sub remain unanswered (Min Woo-sub is the former policeman, who was forced by his father to resign, one of Noron cronies).
The Norons are aware that Min Woo-sub is a potential vulnerability, and his father is nervous about this fact, but insidious Kim Taek sees a way that in a transform advantage. He goes Min Woo-Sub to see and brings him to speak through his language of ideals and justice-as the land belongs to the people, and that the politicians are stewards of the people, and that they are better able people as helping the King himself. What has the king done for the country, after all?
So he told Min Woo-sub to accept the prince's request, in his guard duty and to join in again, it is sun and awaits further instructions observed. If he does a good job, his father will benefit, and it is not his duty to help his father? Let us on: (1) Kim Taek is a cunning and smart mofo, and (2) now I want only Min Woo-Sub and Sun are nobly idealistic to go BFFs, are doomed policy.
Meanwhile, the Norons has maengui again have to hide, and Kim Taek has the title literally bound in the cover of a book that is stored in the palace library. It is darkest under the lamp, after all.
And so, Min Woo-Sub reports for duty and Sun is delighted to welcome him that it hurts a little. He thinks he can use min as a double agent for his side, but his father is one of being a double agent for him for Norons, and, well, we have seen, the ties of blood to do to a person in the drama what.
Yeongjo and Sun head out with the commoners to make another appearance, only teachers Park have a huge commotion at the gate to prevent it, to try to kick. He asks the king one more day to head back and kneels in front of the doors, but is forcibly removed.
There in the front yard instead commons are rows of yangbans and scholars to protest according to the reforms of the king. They demand that he withdraw his amendments to the tax law, arguing that it can not interfere with order or lowborns as explain in their betters. It is appalling logic, but in their rhetoric, this is tantamount to anarchy.
your language increasingly shrill growing as dramatically axes in addition to the set in the yard coffins produce from, essentially saying: Over my dead body . Then they go as far as Yeongjo own right to rule, saying that passing his would make reforms in question to make him a tyrant to barbarians.
The spikes Yeongjo temperament and he stutters in anger. He must therefore be restrained from, to start at the offending yangban, and then collapsed on the floor from the shock. Sun falls on his father's side, then turns his own anger at the crowd. Spitting contempt, he says he any of them to remember for their refusal to work with the people in this country.
Sun has to convince his father to leave the meeting, reminded him of his own words, the fact that a ruler must know when to step back. Yeongjo true and Sun insists on his father back to the palace on the back.
displayed on the Today the Norons was working, of course, and the protesting yangban before Kim Taek brought, they congratulated done well for a job.
Meanwhile Yeongjo recovering in bed with Sun at his side, sighing that his reforms will be harder to pass, as he had hoped. He acknowledges that the yangban alienate only makes things more difficult, and is eager to work, to get back to find a solution to the dilemma.
comes To this end Yeongjo a compromise, to decide that it will cut the tax burden "Civil and make for the difference from its own budget to lower and removing certain royal exemptions.
Ji-dam makes a reappearance (wow, I had forgotten almost) as they followed can be found in the streets and saved by the intervention of Chul-joo. your trailer is surprisingly gangsters or murderers, but a senior Soron politician, and he can be seen here her father.
We have the Sorons have often seen, but not the need, they still have the name suggests, but I have a feeling they are going to get to the story important. This is Shin Chi-Woon, the hotheaded of Soron pile, and he appears to be narrowing with Ji-dam father-all the way back to a failed uprising plot 26 years ago. Innnnteresting.
has her past Revisiting Dad clearly on the edge, but Shin Chi-Woon has a reason to come here. He reminded Dad of the uncomfortable truth that they would both her colleagues ditched and ran out of the battle, they came away with their lives, but gave up opening the possibility to change their world. (The Soron uprising of 1728 was four years in Yeongjo rule and accused him of killing the former king.)
Shin Chi-Woon produced a book whose contents have Dad gaping in alarm. It is the diary of an artist, and it contains very dangerous, devastating information about the king. We do not know the exact content, but it is safe to assume that it is all that we know to be true that the maengui confirmed. Reminds him of their old abandoned hopes Shin pushes the book on Dad, and asked him to copy it and distribute it.
Sun continues to tend to his father, who refers ruefully as pathetic to himself. But Sun assured his father, this is only the beginning, was inspired and encouraged by his father's teachings on equality. With eyes seem hoping tells Sun that he take the sign "Kyun" the same character used in Yeongjo reform policy title, and the port's importance in his heart. Moreover, if he is ruler, he will adopt the "Kyun" ethos as its official policy. He vows to make a better Equality Act and a better Joseon. It is so touching, and Yeongjo is moved.
This time Yeongjo his son, embraced with tears in his eyes, moving back and forth the sun embrace. And when the sun leaves, Yeongjo will not return to another face, as he so often, but smiling contentedly accept at Sun declaration of equality as its policy.
But then he is struck with a thought that brings an anxious tremor in his voice when he asks what would happen if Sun knew he signed the maengui would have. Would he his father's words call a lie and reject it wholesale? He fears for the day, the sun, which could learn the truth, and hopes that he will never learn that he is Juk-pa.
Sun is in a dilemma of his own prisoner to drink with Advisor Chae in his chamber, melancholy and full of remorse. He should be the first murder slide, he says, even though Heung-bok was his friend. Or should he have scoffed at Ji-mother claims. Or should he have the idea of maengui clutched his lies. Or should he not have learned of Juk-pa.
lostview, he told his advisers: "I now do not know what I should do about my father."
Ji-dam father, meanwhile, is struggling with the decision to publish the book. He does not want to take care and free control of any trouble, but Shin Chi-woon's words ring in your ears as only going to do nothing along the problems to the next generation to inherit his daughter. People need to know the truth.
And so Dad gets Copy to work the book, its employees say, especially to be careful to keep it away from Ji-dam. Which is effective for about two seconds, as Ji-mother sniffing nose for suspicious activity. Using Chul-joo gang fresh copies are distributed throughout the book lending network, and in no time at all, it is, in fire, to inform the public. And just when Yeongjo enjoyed a wave of popularity, thanks to his reforms.
Even so, the Soron tell politicians that the king and the rival Norons the crimes are guilty must be punished. Plans for a rebellion are already underway.
Ji-dam managed their hands on a copy of the book, and get worried for the prince. If he knows, and he must now know he has hurt and fear, she thinks.
The book itself is the hands in a number of palace servants who discovered and brought the king's attention. Yeongjo is apoplectic positive. His anger is so overwhelming that it catapulted him far beyond the line of reason, and he orders all copies collected and burned. Each is found in possession of a book to be killed.
he worked the job expanded to include the publishing and every single person that the book-round reading now and kill each of them.
Sun bursts in protest and urged his father to resign. He tried logic, arguing that even if the books are pure slander, he has not that crimes punishable by death. Besides, even if he killed all he wanted, the problem would not be solved. He asks Yeongjo a stop to prepare and warns hard not to convey the message of the eunuch.
Yeongjo not reasnoed with, and Sun tone changes as he asks, meaning: "Why What's the reason why you fear this book so much is it? because ... everything is written here true? "
sound Yeongjo changes to when he asks what he means by words groped back before rushing that Sun has no basis this. for demand
"Juk-pa." Ohhh snap. Sun speaks the name that his father in alarm stiffening, and then continues by saying that it was signed thirty years ago a document bearing the name Juk-pa-was that his father's signature?
COMMENTS
Ooof, also there is no support away from this. There were scenes in previous episodes, the imagination turned confrontations, and every time I was done both unnerved and easier-exasperated because Fakeouts suck, but relieved because I did not know if we could deal with the consequences. is Or perhaps more importantly, I did not know if Sun could.
But now that the moment for us (... I'm almost positive this may not be Fakeout, or at least had better not be), I feel like we at the point are where these conflict feels right, and deserves. We have the potential results of the confrontation from multiple angles explored, and feel of both the Yeongjo and Sun pages torn with both men and worried about how to approach the truth. At this point there is nowhere to go but forward, even if the front right is in a Shitstorm of epic proportions.
I thought the previous episode, would mark the height of Sun's despair, because this episode showed us that. The exact moment his disappointment But I found this episode even more intense of conflict because Sun struggle to know how to use this information may be more compelling than it denied him. Of course it is at this fork in the road, the Yeongjo shows him (and us) exactly why he deserves this fear primarily because we now see directly how he is, if he is to be an effective ruler, for the noble reasons to work.
What is particularly tragic feels his situation is that if it is the role of acting king again, we actually see him effective and binding. Yeongjo always complains about the policy is paralyzed, and while he is wrong in any way, he shows that he will remain the policy maneuver and push forward its policies. Yes, he has to make compromises, but his tax reform was still a vast improvement to the plight of his people as he sat back and done nothing.
For example, to speak his decision with the commoners was directly a particularly clever bit politicize because it Yeongjo activates itself as the benevolent king to position that seeks to help people , And thus these reforms any opposition would be blamed on his enemies, also known as the yangban Elite, and this in turn would help public opinion influence in advancing its reforms ... that's really what it all the time anyway wanted. He is manipulative in this case, for all the right reasons (and this is consistent with historical accounts of the process).
There was also a nice touch for the drama this route start from the story that take us to Yeongjo mother's grave, the reasons to go anchoring the king for us. The historic Yeongjo had an affinity for his Civil subjects, and it is reasonable to conclude that his mother had a lot to do with it. And to bring about this Sun grave with him, he also gives Sun an insight into this part of his emotional background, it makes it much more difficult for Sun to know what to do now.
This is why I must especially on Sun reactions in the opening scene at the grave responded because Sun his father seems to be regarded with frustration when he indicates that Yeongjo could total do the things that he wants, and he could do to boot them legally and wisely. So it's a shame this maengui which mainly makes him a criminal, but second of all is as effective a shackle on Yeongjo as would a physical psychologically. I love the way Sun with a new side of his conflict now to know about his father in the regicide complicity, has to do, because it is so much more exciting and have fearful him with all the cards on the table to respond. It was one thing to see him fight as we knew more than he did, but now opened his eyes, and introduces a new set of ethical questions for him. It's enough to make him long for blindness, but that's the thing about Pandora's box-you lose the ability to close it once you have sprung the latch.
