Once again, another great episode!

18 episodes later, and the drama never fails to keep me on my toes! I honestly had such a fun journey within these 18 episodes that it breaks my heart there are two episodes left. :(( so...that ending. I’m honestly not sure if that was part of Jae Ha and Shi Kyung’s plan or not but I refuse to believe Shi Kyung suddenly turned evil after getting tortured. He’s the type to remain loyal, no matter what, so I’m really really hoping it’s all part of the plan because if it’s actually true...I wouldn’t know how to feel about him. Ahhh, I’m so happy Hang Ah’s finally back but I have a feeling she’s going to where Jae Ha is so I hope everything turns out well! Also, I’ve never really mentioned this relationship but I absolutely adore Shi Kyung and Jae Shin together. They are sooo cute and my heart bursted out in happiness when he kissed her. :,D Can’t wait to see what happens next episode!

Awesome!

This was a pretty spectacular episode! Emotions were flying EVERYWHERE! Many up lifting and heartbreaking scenes. Bong-Gu has taken ESK under his wing, which is really saddening D: Jae-Ha & Hang-Ah's chemistry is just plain amazing, it makes me shed tears of joy TuT

Up and down..

There were many nice and heartwarming scenes - especially Jae Sin ang Si Kyung. The best scene between them yet.. :)
I'm glad Hang Ah is safe now. The acting was superb - Jae Ha must have really thought it was the end of her.. I was holding my breath..
While Si Kyung with Bong Gu I was constantly thinking that it's Jae Ha's and Si Kyung's plan - that everything is under control - until the very end. I just need to believe that still everything IS under control.
I really hated those scene where Si Kyung was tortured.. I hate torturing.. it's just horrible to watch...
I just really hope that Si Kyung and Jae Ha still has a plan and it succees.. well at the end it must succeed.. ;)

Omo!

This episode was amazing. I kept finding myself at the edge of my seat with everything that happened in it.

I loved that kiss between Jae Shin and ESK. It felt like it really was a spur of the moment kiss. And omo! I hope oorie ESK doesn't die!!!!

colours and feelings

I actually didn't want to write a review for this episode: it seems to me I am starting to repeat myself over and over, without truly conveying what I feel for this drama.
I was prompted by a friend and fellow reviewer to do so. I love reading reviews of a show I'm obsessed with, the longer the better: it's like a thread to the story which I don't want to cut completely, and perhaps I'm not the only one.

So, since everything's been very well expressed already, I'll focus my review on the cinematography.
I'm impressed by the use of photography, light, and in general the attention to small details. This episode was no exception. It's interesting how every time there's a breath of relief in the emotions of those characters, they find themselves surrounded by greenery. The queen mother finds solace in her plants, Jae Shin is left among flowers to meet Shi Kyung, father and son Euns find a bit of a bond back by the lake banks (how beautiful that lake is) and is there that Jae Ha gives back his trust to his "ajussi". In direct contrast are all the cruel scenes, immersed in black, browns or grays, mostly played underground or in confined spaces. Great editing too, closing up on lonely Hang A lit up by the light coming in from the small cell window, and re-opening on Jae Ha watching out of an equally lit up, but very different window.
What is even more interesting is the fact that Bung Gu's the only one who wears flaring colours, mostly red, which is the colour of blood, but is also - not randomly - the colour of royalty. But because he is such a sub-specimen of a human, red on him is the exact opposite of royal: it's vulgar and gaudy like himself.

The acting... spectacular. I love it that Jae Ha exhales when he hugs hang Ah, as if without her he could not breath. He did the same on episode 17, during his dream. And I love that she is the physical, soldier one, while he's using his political and diplomatic power to win this war. Every photography of the two together enchants me, they are so beautiful together.
How awesome are all the public appearances and press conferences in this drama; it's great that they show the reaction of the viewers, the king's people, as if we could witness their growing love for their king.
Finally, I love that Jae Kang is always present, in every single episode since he died. Jae Ha looking at his portrait on the wall and finding the clue to the evidence he needs is wonderful, it's like it was his hyeong telling him.

The King is his people!

Oh, gawd~ who's paying for my new heart? NUGU, NUGU???
HangAh in the prison, and they refused to treat her wound, not that I thought she needed a doctor, more like a person in her cell? haha~ And back to kickass HangAh working out and preparing to escape every moment, but she's also a human being, right? And when breaking down, the illusion moment just ripped my heart out, my heart honesty was beating in a way my chest hurt... The director should be just hanged, he's the worst type of sadist...such a tender, but at the same time desperate moment *weeps* SeungGi is making big steps into my favourites list, he was brilliant in this episode!
ShiKyung with his father... I knew this was coming, I hope it's not his way of saying goodbye, just really telling his dad he can be independent now... and, damn you, you WERE saying some kind of goodbye to you dad, weren't you, still tryig to go to China, even handing in his resignation letter, but JaeHa is a die-hard, he places ShiKyung into no-fly list to China, pfft~ naturally ShiKyung comes barging to JaeHa, who is closed in his office and doesn't answer to ShiKyung, though listens very carefully, and, damn you again ShiKyung for being a sweet-talker even in this situation, you just know what to say to break him, don't ya? Even speaking to the King in banmal? Badass! I was begging JaeHa not to give in, which he ignored of course... asking only to see JaeShin before leaving to China, and suddenly, I realized, that his question was very welcomed, as at the same second ShiKyung asked whether he could do anything he wanted (you, naughty~) and be with the princess as 2 persons, to which he gets JaeHa's badass answer 'Dude, it's man and woman!' Ha!
JaeShin's and ShiKyung's scenes would be episode stealers really, if this drama was not so stressful all over... ShiKyung urging her not to blame herself, kneeling and taking her hand in his, then their piggyback walk, his requests from her, to smile, not blame herself, and to sing again, to which he gets a peck in his cheek (did you miss his lips, JaShin???) but then he's the soldier here, right, and he doesn't miss hers * squeal* Though it's just for a moment, it's so sweet, I was melting... His coming back to right mind and apologizing... (yeah~ like she needs you 'sorry'... you'd better continue loosing control, ShiKyunga~), I was cracking, when he was talking to himself in his office... haha~
Secretary Eun gets called back to the palace... I have mixed feelings about him, but as the drama is getting to the finish, I am not worrying about his betrayal anymore, though I'd want him to suffer more...
Now the 1st BOMB of the episode, we all knew JaeHa was preparing to go to ICC (International Criminal Court) to prosecute BongGu, and I was kind of wondering under which article... so here we are with the office recorder, i JUST knew it would be of some use, when he put on that nonsensical password on it, he looks at JaeKang's picture, then the chairs in the office, and HE'S GOT IT!!!
Cut to the press-conference, where we see that all his conversation with BongGu was recorded, and BongGu was the one to start the record by saying 'chunya~?'... THAT IS SO AWESOME, I was jumping on my sofa! The whole world is watching, as well as BongGu... saying the King is his people, so by killing the King BongGu killed 50mln people, so he will be prosecuted under the Rome statute against genocides and crimes against humanity (sometimes I have use of me being a student of international affairs, ha~) now what, kiddo? We get to see BongGu's room, which is stuffed with teddy bears my height and other toys, hims sitting on his bed, like a 5 year old, with his colored socks... he's so creepy sometimes... being told to leave China NOW... Even his minion is prepared to get rid of him, though the poor guy gets caught and pees in his pants when he sees Mia entering the room... bad guys always end up like that, dude, didn't you know you were in a drama?
ShiKyung is thrown to the lions, and has to undergo tortures... ugh, give that Mia b***... I'll be pulling her hair one by one!!!
At last HangAh gets the doctor who has a phone, woho~ she calls JaeHa, who almost misses her call, and tells him her location, he's on his move, GREAT!
Oh jee... the scenes in the prison WERE BEING CUT BY MY INTERNET CONNECTION, I was going literally MAD!!!
I was weeping when JaeHa started running after hearing HangAh's voice, that was such a moment, forgetting everything and everyone he was running to his beloved one, I wasn't breathing until they locked eyes... and then the gunshot sent the sound right into my head, I'm suing them after all, JaeHa's halt, HangAh's eyes, the blood drops... fortunately they hit her foot, then JaeHa hugging her like the most precious thing in the world and weeping, while she was the one saying she was okay...kill me...
Back to ShiKyung who's still being tortured, and gets called by BongGu to refuse him to join him again and again... this is an interesting psychological game and BongGu is falling right into it...
HangAh woke up and asked for JaeHa, and then I was fzozen, all these last episode I was always saying 'badass HangAh', and forgetting that after all she's a woman who is afraid of things too... and her tears in JaeHa's embrace made me weep even more, while JaeHa was blaming himself for everything...
ShiKyung gives in and calls JaeHa (not mentioning the password they had agreed upon earlier...hmm... gets me thinking...)and asks him to go himself to see how BongGu gets arrested. There is a sudden change in JaeHa's expression, I'm not the one who noticed that, right? He sent HangAh home and went to the meeting with ShiKyung... leaving all the guards and agents, they go tot the seaside where BogGu is sitting on a throne and there is one more for JaeHa, JaeHa is shocked (or seemingly so) turns to ShiKyung who points his gun at JaeHa (me thinking, oh, how good ShiKyung looks in that suit...and cries buckets of more tears)
The end...

Get ready to hold your breath

Watching Hang Ah work out in her prison cell was off the chain!!! Then her emotions as she felt Jae Ha hug her was sad and beautiful.

The relationship between Jae Sin and Si Kyung is amazing and sweet. I love that Si Kyung got over his dad's betrayal quickly and realized that it wasn't his fault. Him translating that over to Jae Sin's situation was perfect. Their kiss was so sweet.

Then we step into the battle when Jae Ha gives evidence of Bong Goo killing King Jae Gang. Epic!!!

I had to pause it and breathe when they are looking for Hang Ah and then when he goes to her...the music and Lee Seung Ki's acting made me feel it when Jae Ha thought he had lost her.

Bong Gu played like putty into Si Kyung's hands!!!

There is such chemistry between Lee Seung Ki and Ha Ji Won. I cried when she woke up looking for him and cried in his arms.

I'm not sure if the ending is what Jae Ha and Si Kyung had planned and they are just good at acting or if Si Kyung really has lost his mine. Cliffhanger!!!

This drama keeps you on you toes for sure and I am loving it!!!
