Anxious about the traitors out there and haunted by the ghost of the brother he killed, Heon can never sleep in peace. He desperately asks the Chief Royal Secretary, Lee Kyu, to find a way to eliminate his fears. Like what the Monkey’s hair does in “Journey to the West”, a doppelganger of Heon appears before his eyes. (Source: Viu)

Perfectly sets up characters and plot!

This is my first historical drama to watch and I have not been disappointed by this episode. It used its 1 hour nicely by introducing the major characters, connecting the chain of events to lead to the episode's ending, and it was really good in making things simple to follow through despite the many characters in the drama. But it doesn't completely give away everything. There are some parts that left me confused (in a good way) and makes me want to continue watching. I look forward to when I have a chance to watch some more.
