So this one starts with the king doing what he promised and inviting Lady Hyegyeong’s parents over. And not just her parents, her siblings too. She had four brothers and we see the oldest three here. The fourth either hasn’t been born yet or is just an infant, I’m not sure of the exact time. There’s quite an age range among the siblings.
Kind of weird how sheepish and unhappy Lady H and Sado looked the whole time in this scene. Especially her, she seemed so happy when the king made the offer to invite her parents.
So the servants call the king the “palace goblin”? That’s funny because I’ve been thinking that the guy sort of looks like a goblin. And he sort of has a goblin personality so it definitely fits!
“Isn’t that so?” WOW that was good. This head court lady is one very sharp person, diagnosing all of that so quickly. Probably isn’t the first time she’s seen something like this, but still…very impressive.
And now apparently we’re at a brothel? Well we certainly are getting some of the countryside flavor that we don’t usually get in a historical.
“If the rumor started from the main palace, you’ll be held responsible for poor supervision.” That seems unreasonable. Very possible it would have happened that way, but still it seems unreasonable.
Ugh, the tumbling nanny is back again.
Good heavens look at the size of that thing. There were safety barriers at last weekend’s Nascar rice that weren’t that big.
Lady H: “Things could not possibly get worse.” Yeah you cling to that.
Quite an ending. So the head court lady figures the new girl had reason to start the rumor so she points the finger. Obviously sees her as a potential troublemaker and figures it’s an easy way to get herself off the hook, regardless of whether or not she’s right. But what would the motive be? If the new girl wants to sleep with the king, what benefit is there to having the king and prince at odds? Seems like you’d want the king to be happy and relaxed and un-stressed as possible. I don’t understand that.
Not a lot of music so far in this one. They’re much more restrained about adding it. There’s a lot more silence, and for a more intimate story like this one it works well. So far it’s a good enough series as long as they keep the tumbling nanny stuff away.

■ King Gyeongjong is King Youngjo’s half brother and Prince Sado’s uncle. He succeeded the throne from King Sukjong but was only able to rule for four years. He’s the son of Jang Hee-bin.
