I trust general Yeon

He has this great charisma and those beautiful silent moments that are more than amazing.
I am sure he had a deal with Jang, when everyone will think that he died hanged, Jang will take him to general Yeon alive or barely alive. No matter how much he rejects him; he's still his son.

I officially hate the king; he's injust and hateful. I like the princess and the prince, they're so nice but I agree that the prince isn't suited to be a king while Jang does.

Visually and emotionally gripping

Finally I am starting to get involved with the love story. It has taken me a while since I get a little distracted from the (amazing but slow) directing. It finally jelled nicely in an intense and exciting episode that is full of politics vs love/friendship scenes. The last part where he is being killed was so well done I held my breath till the preview.
