Ah, seriously, among the on-going Kdramas right now, Captivating the King has become my number one favorite! It's a drama that really crawled up to my top list of sageuk drama of all time! It has already exceeded my expectations because with each episode every week it just gets better and better, it's unpredictable which makes it excellent! As I watch the drama from episode 1 to now 14, I suddenly have that thought to myself after a long time. "ah, so this is what a well written story, great casts and direction looks like". It's really that good and it's a shame that this drama wasn't as hyped like those mainstream dramas out there where popular actors are casted, but the story is just lame and predictable.
Anyways, episode 14, principal director Park Jong Hwan refused to admit and confess his crimes in front of the King, after getting persuaded by Yoo Hyun Bo, which makes everything more complicated and stressful. Kim Je Nam warned the King that it'll be risky to interrogate the principal director without hard evidence to prove his crimes, but the King said that he has a witness to testify all of it. We aren't sure if it would work though because he's referring to Senior Court Lady Dong which we know how treacherous she can be in order for her to survive. Lady Dong is under Park Jong Hwan's command as well; she's now threatened to discard the King she's serving by using poison. The same tactic he did to the late King.
Hmmm.... If I'll think about it, since court lady Dong has strong affections for King Yi In and is willing to do anything for him, I don't think she could carry on this mission. In fact, she already agreed to the King to become a witness but with a cost. Will she ask for the King's heart? Will she ask to void her punishment? Or will she succumb to fear of Jong Hwan's words and actually poison the King through her lips? Will she really help him out after knowing that the King has another woman? Geez! It's so exciting to know!!!
Upon seeing the preview for the next episode, the King survived and Lady Dong was nowhere to be found. I think Lady Dong took her own life since she already said to Hee Soo that she already had enough. With such mentality, I think that's the only way she could think of to end her sufferings. But I could be wrong too, it's just a hunch.
On the other hand, Hee Soo is finally 100% sure now that she'll side the King throughout his reign and probably for the rest of his life after finding out the real heart of Yi In. Yi In has already confessed the crimes that he has committed as soon as he ascended the throne. All this while he has kept it to his heart and is tormented by it. But then, Hee Soo is right. He may have taken the throne right now, but it is his way to protect the crowned prince to ascend to the throne the next. Now, his main goal now is to actually find the person that poisoned his stepbrother as wished by the late King as well.
Ahhh! This is so exciting! I can't wait to watch the last 2 episodes!!! I'm seated!
The truth Will Come out in the last 2 episodes who is the real spy
