I think that the reason why Hong Lim lied about not loving the King was to piss him off and kill him. I think…
I think he was bi-sexual because he had to be; the King groomed him like child molesters do today. He may have loved the King as a father/brother, but he and the Queen were "in love" with each other. You see it in the little moments that that they have, but especially when she gives him handmade gifts. The King was always trying to buy his affections with extravagant gestures, but that wasn't the way to his heart.
This movie is worth the watch just for the fantasy where her English is so bad that the bad guys start saying things like: Would you like an apple? Yes, apples are good....

Plus it wouldn't make sense for the way these people are written to break up a marriage over a romance that was finished 10 yrs ago. As far as chemistry goes, I feel it in spades between Dr O and Nurse S. Even during the flashbacks that romance looked tepid at best, nothing like when he kisses her eyebrow in Pride!
