[mslee's thoughts] The King's Face Episodes 14 and 15 Highlights and Screen caps

EPISODE 14

In this episode, Prince Gwanghae was able to recover form gun shot. Gahee stayed by his side. Together they  fought the Japanese invaders. Prince Gwanghae used his skills and intelligence to win during battles and planned his next move. The royal family settled outside the city but still Gwiin Kim's did not stopped planning on getting the title of Crown Prince from Prince Gwanghae. She made a deal with the an official from Ming, using the excuse that Prince Gwanghae was not giving enough food to the Ming soldiers which the King was led to believe. In order to pacify the Mings, the King must bow down 5 times and 3 times in front of the Ming official. The ministers disuade the King but because he thought that was the only way to get continuous help he did. 

The King felt humiliated as Prince Gwanghae continue to win battles. He decided to abdicate his seat, [only as a way to cause anxiety to those around him and to test Gwanghae and put him in a difficult sitaution] by summoning Gwanghae but the Prince did not accept the decision of the King. He pleaded wioth the King to change his mind. While doing it, there was news that the Japanese would soon retreat silently together with Ming which made the King felt fooled and stupid.

In this episode, Kim Do Chi is again making me angry for his duplicity. He was clearly siding with Gwiin Kim and Prince Shinsung. The rest of the Daedong group was with Prince Gwanghae at the city fighting the Japanese.





























































































EPISODE 15

Highlights of this episode is Prince Gwanghae was able to sneak in to the city as a slave in disguise. He met with other volunteers and planned on attacking the palace before the Japanese could retreat. They also got wind of news that the Japanese would spill bloods on the city before they left, meaning that they would kill Joseon people. The Prince head was also one of the agenda of the Japanese before leaving.

Gahee finally found out about Kim Do Chi's betrayal of the Prince. He sold out Prince Gwanghae to the leader of the Japanese fighters, Kinoshita. 

The greedy concubine got what she deserved for coveting the Crown Prince title for her son. Prince Shinsung died. 

Prince Gwanghae and his voulunteer soldiers invaded the palace and won the battle against the Japanese soldiers. In the end, he beheaded Kinoshita ion front of his people.

[mslee's thoughts] The King's Face Episode 23 Final Screen caps and Review

Finally I am writing my thoughts on episode 23. Even in this last episode, the King never took time to understand the heart of Prince Gwang Hae. It was so easy for him to think that Prince Gwang Hae will take his seat away from him. Yes, Gwang Hae admitted thinking of being a King but it does not mean he has a mind that could be accused of treason. Prince Gwang Hae advised his father that it should be the people he must worry about and not his face because what happens to the lives of the people makes a King's face. The King has not had the face of a king until now because he lacked the understanding and the heart of what his duty entails. His people are not happy and still suffers that's why those transcend to him as the King who over looks on them, giving him the face of not suited to be King. The advise was so honestly brutal that the King's anger to Gwang Hae made him ill and the fact that  the poison Ga Hee mixed with his tea already s

[mslee's thoughts] Ep. 15 & 16 - Secret Final Review

Honestly, I was not so eager to watch the final 2 episodes. Why? Perhaps I know the story is nearing it's end and there'll be no more Secrets to look forward to next week, Why do great dramas end so fast? Hmmm...sighing here. this is somewhat long... Episode 15 Anyway, last week's ending was another cliffhanger for viewers. The question hanging in my mind was, will Do Hoon win in this game he planned? Yes, it is like a game of hide and seek, hiding secrets and seeking the truth. Yoo Jung finally had the courage to go on and file a complaint against DH for abandoning her father leading to his death. Even as she warned him that she will go through with it, DH was initially shaken but he did not let her undermine him. He was afraid for himself, the reason he gathered all the documents that will make the two companies shake. By this time, DH knew what he had to do to survive. Se Yeon was clouded by her obsession, not even considering what those documents will d
