So I went to watch 27 and it's not on the YouTube list. You'll have to go to Dramacool and watch it there. 27 is missing and the remaining seven episodes are all labeled off by 1 in the YouTube list. This explains why the YouTube list has 33 items while the series has 34 episodes. No problem, Dramacool has it with subs.

So we’ve taken a sudden jump forward and several years have passed. But it’s still the same stuff. Mistress Moon is pregnant and Yeongjo is still blowing off his son. And the writers killed a bunch of time, here with the prince playing with his kids. Between the slow pace of the story-telling and the repetitiveness of some of the content…I hate to say it but some of these episodes have gotten boring. Including this one.
“Hong Bonghan! You think I’ll sell my daughter for honor and riches?” This was one nice twist—Kim Han-koo showing some decency and concern for his young daughter having to marry a guy in his late 60s and not just using her as a piece of meat to get power. It looks like he’s still going to go through with it so we can’t give him that much credit…but being asked to marry a king, there also is a sense of duty to it that does factor into things. No easy answer here. Good stuff.
But even that, goodness how long THAT went on, all of Kim’s moaning and groaning. And we never did see his daughter’s reaction to it all, or anything else beyond his moaning and groaning.
Gee Sado sure did step up when Yeongjo got sick. Took charge of things confidently and responsibly, and sounded like a real king. I’m not sure it was wise to write it this way. You look at his performance here and you think What’s the problem with him not ascending to the throne?
Sado subtitle: “Seeing father in a comma like that made me feel so light-hearted.” So you took a pause to reflect?
“I want to be king for just ten years...I want to bloom and wither.” This was very good, and it’s just the kind of thing this actor does well—the character who’s in a difficult moral situation and is being pulled in multiple directions. So the ending gets a pass. But too much of the episode felt like a chore to get through.
