Yes, he ordered not to mention poisoning in the autopsy.

I'm glad that the King proved that he cares about Prince Uiseong as a father despite everything. I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see any scenes between Queen Yoon and Prince Uiseong and what happened to him and Consort Hwang during those three months. Nobody seems to believe that Prince Uiseong can actually change and the Queen still doesn't trust him. Although her look in that scene means that she feels sorry for them.

I could do without 10 episodes of predictable Crown Prince competition and use that screen time to show more backstories instead. The antagonists made this show interesting for me.

It's already a terrible fate for her to live in this state and for him to see his mom like this. The QD got it easier.

To me it looked like she simply ignored the Queen and addressed Uiseong directly. And she looked around when she opened the door. If she has post traumatic stress this condition can be temporary, she may snap out of it any time or it can last for years. People react and coping differently. Sometimes shocking memories get blocked and people act like nothing happened. She needs good care and that's what Uiseong gives her by playing along and being patient.

It's a form of PTSD. The trauma she experienced seriously affected her. And Prince Uiseong plays along to help her cope with it. Very sad ending.

I wanted to know more about Prince Uiseong, Consort Hwang, Physician Kwon and the people related to them. They are my favourite characters, their storyline is the most interesting. But they spent half of the show on the Crown Prince competition instead.

Queen Dowager is the one true villain who manipulated everyone. The others are more victims of the circumstances and actions. They fought for themselves using everything they could. It's understandable.

The King can't keep his position. My prediction is that everyone will loose something in the end.

I haven't seen The Long Ballad, will put it on my watchlist.

It's all about the family. And we can sympathize with the villains, they are human and they have reasons. It's a sad story.

His mother keeps telling him he deserves the throne. The King father never showed him any real affection. This environment made him like that.

But Queen Dowager destroyed Physician Kwon's entire innocent family. And the King now covers himself. Even the late King said not to mention poisoning in the autopsy.

If all the theories about Physician Kwon being Prince Uiseong's father and deposed Queen Yoon's son are right then he is still of royal blood.

Ep.7 (around 8 minutes in) and Ep. 8 (39 minutes in) they show flashbacks with the King's brother dying and him watching outside the door. Prince Uiseong's grandfather is also part of this whole affair.

I think he even treats him a bit differently from other Princes because he reminds him of himself.

First the actress who plays Court Lady Shin posted a selfie with Seongnam in her stories and yesterday the Queen posted two pictures with him in the black CP outfit. She deleted it, but fan accounts reposted everything and it's all over Instagram and Twitter.

Actually Prince Uiseong is a lot like the King. His mother helped him to get the throne, he watched his brother die and did nothing. He regrets it now and tries to select the Crown Prince fairly, but still he wanted the crown more than anything. It's understandable why Uiseong is the way he is, he's the firstborn and he feels excluded and overshadowed.

This storyline is so obvious they don't even bother to hide spoilers. At least we don't know what will happen to the villains, those actors never post anything.

They already spoiled that Seongnam will be the Crown Prince. One of the actresses posted a behind the scenes picture of him in the black Crown Prince attire. Unless it was from a costume fitting and all of the princes tried it on, they spoiled the whole ending.

The news headlines in the show say he studied in the US. In interviews they said he was born in Korea.

Actually Prince Uiseong is smart and has many skills, we just haven't seen his full potential yet. He's cunning and he gets away with things. He's the dangerous one as it said in the last episode.
