the foundations (spoilers)

Jumong shows what "reckless wisdom" means in this episode. However,- his reckless wisdom proves to be the best solution as probably the most obtuse chieftain has been won and NOW finally the foundations for a new nation are laid. There is a sense of union here in one particular scene and it;s very beautiful. This is a beginning, for expansion will no doubt continue. And there is something very PHYSICAL that signifies this new begionning for a new nation. However, because there are two people and two factions, dispute starts to arise as to who should rule the people...and this is a seed of conflict which will likely I suspect have an impact in later episodes,

SoSoNo and Jumong make for a brilliant pairing- they are both
wise and strong and it is logical that they should become the King and Queen. They should have been together in the first place but destiny keeps them apart. Even though they have an understanding and are both equals in wisdom. But Jumong is married and with a child. This I suspect is the thing that will complicate matters in the near future...can union survive this? Or will the new nation be plagued from the very start by disputes. What will Jumong do? BuYeo still has some surprises in store and of course they hold some vital cards for jumong himself. They are growing desperate to prevent prophecies from happening, especially because Jumong has been as successful as the propehies have foretold. Fear is often a driving force of politics. But it is worse when personal matters and politics inevitably mix as in this drama.
