EDIT: Post title should be "Shin Se Kyung Is Torn Between Betraying Cho Jung Seok or Not In Captivating the King Episode 12"
Oh gosh, I really cried over the Queen's passing in episode 12. She really grew on me despite having a little exposure throughout the series. Ever since I can remember, she always looked disturbed and scared in the palace. Her insecurities built up because of her incapacity to produce an heir to the King. Well, if only the King wasn't so distant with her and actually spend the night with her, probably she could give him one when the right time comes. But that wasn't the case, and the King knew itself. The King could not be blamed and therefore, it is the Queen who shall take the blame. Ugh. Poor, Queen... may she rest in peace.
Thankfully, the Queen's death wasn't in vain as Grand Prince Munseong was officially titled as the crowned prince because of her wishes. Queen Dowager and principal director strongly opposes this decision of the King but thanks to the King's believable acting, principal director fell to his trap and finally agreed on the King's decision of approving Grand Prince Munseong as the crowned prince.
I really love this drama because of its puzzles thrown at us to solve along with the other characters of the show. Like for this one, which kind of King Yi In should we believe in? He is known to be a cruel King to most of the people in the palace but is a principled and good hearted one to some. Hee Soo actually witnessed both of this version of the King. When King Yi In was just a grand prince, Hee Soo fell in love with this version of him and she hated him when he ascended to the throne and functions as the King of the nation. For sure, Hee Soo is confused asf on what or who to believe in. Her desire to take revenge was actually shaking already and is weighing things now. But since she witnessed the King's acting towards principal director at Yeongchwijeong, the desire to take revenge came back reason why she let Chu Dal Ha to execute his plans in assassinating the King.
I can really feel how awfully confused Hee Soo really is... it's really so hard to trust the King fully because of what happened to her 3 years ago. Wah! I wonder what would make Hee Soo change her mind about the 'cruel' King.
I'm not only seeing her love for him, but I also think she's pregnant and doesn't want revenge anymore for the sake of her unborn child...
