and deok im goes through so much :(

My ideal ending would be with both of them meeting in their afterlife? That would be the happy ending for me and few dramas used this sequence and I personally love it.

But can we for a second talk about Yi San's suspicious death that has not been solved yet? My two cents would be that he couldn't take the heartbreak and took his life since I read somewhere that he has written so many letters to Deok Im.

Ooh…an afterlife ending would be great…didn’t they do that DongYi?  I could picture their cute squabbling.  

As he seemed so strict on his duties as King, I don’t think he would have killed himself but he probably let down his guard in his grief.  I can see his political rivals using that to their advantage and possibly poison him.  He had a new family and was fond of his new concubine even if he didn’t love her.

Idk, but he died pretty early in his life and those texts that I read....

Idk, who knows? Only he will know.

I don't think the age that he died was that young for that period of history. That's why the majority of Korean scholars do still think he died of natural causes.

Yeah, I hope the ending shows their afterlife together with their children.

Yes, I read that recently - that the 'poisoning' theory, while more romantic, has largely been debunked. And, as you say, 47 wasn't bad in those days, particularly if you were ill (e.g. cancer or the like).

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.
