Quite a few things here and yes the camerawork is well done now!

The Romeo and Juliet theme is gaining strength.Forget The princess Man if you want a genuinely more Shakspeare-like story. So our brave and love-struck UTW infiltrates the palace to protecxt the princess. He's such a torn person; his loyalties are double. The Crown Princes has the horse accidentd and is rendered unable to walk, so the Princess is chosen to be the Heir to the Throne. And ohh she is ready to kill her beloved because sche knows hios loyalties are divided but at the same time she can't force him to choose either. In the end, the current king wonders what makes a good king..and why is it that the loyal general was the one who betrayed. I JUST love this. The drama really doesn't pass judgments, doesn't moralise and tries to apply more than one perspective and be objective. Very good! And ohh our two your lovers are put against each other. It's their tragic destiny. she as the Crown princess is fated to kill his father. He as the General's son is fated to stop her.

Fate is such a cruel thing. And in these later episodes the camerawork is really justified and well done. I just love the juxtaposing shots wehen they think about their duties and about each other. Lovers who are fated to be enemies. What's next?



In thr meantime, the General and his son have another intense talk.

Enemies

It’s common, right? I mean separating two lovers because of their families. However, I know that Yeo Choong won’t follow his father’s will and kill the princess; but I am sure that she will do everything in her might to kill general Yeon. I don’t like the fact that Yeo Choong prefers her over his father because obviously she wants to send him out in order to kill general Yeon in his absence.

No going back now, general Yeon or the king is going to die and my guess is that the king is going to be the one who loses. He’s very cruel towards Jang; it’s very obvious that he deserves to be the Crown prince but he wants him to be the chief of guards forever? He’s royalty after all and he deserves that position better than the princess. I won’t blame him if he betrays the King because he was the one who asked for it.
