Oh dear, now we’ve got some psychic filling Sado’s head full of nonsense. Wonderful. I wonder if there’s any historical truth to this. Have to think so; seems like an odd thing to just invent.
YAAAAAAAYYYY! And it worked; he gave it up, at least for the moment.
So then Sado says he won’t eat certain foods, and one of them is “squill.” Am I the only one who never heard that word before? Had no idea what anything called squill is. Apparently it’s a bulbous plant that has medicinal properties. It doesn’t appear to be native to Southeast Asia, and it doesn’t appear to have any food uses. Apparently you can even make rat poison from it. Not sure why it came up here.

■ This prince is the 22nd king of Joseon, Jeongjo, succeeding King Youngjo. It is recorded in history that on September 22nd in the 28th year [of] rule of King Youngjo, an earthquake took place during a hailstorm accompanied by thunder and lightning. And a prince was born. Many subjects congratulated the birth of the prince, and someone called him The Prime Prince. The king said that it’s only applied to the first son of a first son. But many subjects requested that the prince be dubbed as such. The king said that the birth of a new prince has laid a strong foundation for the country.So apparently all of that psychedelic cloud stuff we got was supposed to be real? Or was it. Either way that didn’t work. Best left out and not attempted.
■ Hong Guk-young is one of the most influential figures during Jeongjo’s reign. Jeongjo trusts him fully enough that he promises to forgive him for anything, as long as he doesn’t commit treason. He’s the son of Hong Nak-choon, an abandoned figure in the noble Poong-san Hong family.Not a lot to say about this one; lots of stuff developing. This thing really has been branching out in different directions, hasn’t it? A bunch of stuff in this episode that doesn’t speak directly to Sado’s fate. I don’t mind it--the episodes have been written and acted well enough, and the story is interesting enough--it’s just a little puzzling at the moment.
