Cho Jung Seok Elaborates Consequences of Getting Hurt to Shin Se Kyung If She Chose To Stay By His Side In Captivating The King Episode 12

If you're going to be in love with a King, you should already accept the fact that you're going to be his least priority in making a decision. It is always for the greater good of the country that will come first. This is why when there is a King involved in a love story, I kind of always try to remind myself that it's probably going to be painful and that I shouldn't really be expecting a happy ending for them at all. But of course, it would be fantastic if it's a happily ever after kind of ending for them, right? Anyways, what I am trying to say is that you cannot be really selfish when you're in love with a royalty especially a King.

I now fully understand Yi In, his cruel actions from the past and how he's functioning right now in the present. However, I cannot really say the same for Hee Soo. I also understand her pain for losing her father and her dear friend Hong Jang. What she has gone through 3 years ago, if you're going to put yourself in her situation, it'll be so hard to trust the King your life again and actually forget everything in the past. It was all in the expense of your loved ones, after all. How can one forget?

Hmmm... waaah! I wonder if Hee Soo's love for the King will change her mind towards him. King Yi In is trying his best to be rational and protect Hee Soo at all cost and I'm pretty sure that Hee Soo's already so confused about this. Hee Soo knows how great of a person the King really was when he was just a grand prince, it's the very reason why she fell in love with him. And to witness that trait of the King throughout her stay in the palace as gidaeryeong, her feelings automatically grew immensely. The cruel King that she witnessed in the past was nowhere to be seen today and that's really confusing the hell out of her. 

In the ending scene, Hee Soo chose to stay by the King's side and accepted the consequences that the King presented to her before. I just hope that she won't betray Yi In in the end because, for sure, it's going to sting so painfully! aaaaah!
