I am a little disappointed at the amount of time they dedicated to the evil man in this episode. Time which would have been used a lot more meaningfully to show us Hang Ah and Jae Ha interactions, so beautiful they are together.
The political developments, on the other hand, are absolutely necessary to the plot, as they mirror the lovers's situation on a grander scale. It's too soon for those two (meaning HA/JH and North/South Korea) to trust each other, and good will - or love - are no longer enough.
The machinations of the secretary are so frustrating, I'll call him Iago from now on.
Another pair of incredibly moving scenes in this episode, and brilliant Ha Ji Won, who, in the space of 9 episodes, has shown so many different sides of the same character and made it believable it leaves me speechless.

I need to know: did they sleep together, or did they SLEEP together?
Shallow, am I not? But as superficial as I can be, I can't get rid of the thought that there must be a reason why they decided to remain vague about the matter. I understand the whole scene - brilliantly acted by Ha Ji Won, I may add - aims at showing the new king finally giving in to grief. I loved it and was expecting it to happen in her arms: where else?
But why cut to the next morning? Not to distract us from the real problem at hand? To enhance our imagination? I hope not: mine is already running wild, picturing how that darn shirt of his was taken off...

No spoiler had prepared me to the beautiful execution of this episode. The sweetness of the king and queen's last moments, their quiet falling asleep was 100 times more poignant than any burst of violence could have been.
And the undertone of the whole last minutes, the brilliant acting paired with the wonderful music really made me cry.
Falling in love with a drama can be almost painful.
