I don’t know where people are getting the poisoning theory from but some commentators on Viki in both the Red Sleeve and The Jewel in the Crown have commented that it was the Step-Grandmother Queen that poisoned Jeongjo.  

I think poisoning makes a better drama - even if it didn't really happen.

I feel like the song ‘Beautiful’ by Lucia will be playing in the scene where Deok Im dies.

From an interview with Seyoung. She says she purposely did this drama because of the sad ending

I hope she dies on episode 17 instead of 16.

Looks like the allure interview was done before the 1 episode extension

How long ago was the interview? Maybe it was before they added ep17 so hooe it’s the last episode.

True that. I also saw that there were scenes in ep 11 that were intended for 10. So it looks like the extension may have been more in the middle rather than the end? So much speculation, I wanna know but I also don't wanna know lol

I don't know, but I hope they didn't do it to change the ending. I'd be disappointed if I were her.

I think they extended it to make the sad ending more solid.

I hope they didn’t change it either but maybe added the epitaph and afterlife?  They didn’t have the epitaph in the Yi-San version.  I jumped to the ending just to see and was disappointed it wasn’t there.

I’m still hoping for the final scene to be the afterlife

I'm holding them to that :)
