She told him that the soldiers were on their way there and got to know that Ta-hwan had ordered for the eunuch to assassinate the old man. Seung-nyang entered the palace and saw Ta-hwan, who was on his way to witness Yeon-chul’s demise. The old man entered the hall but he could hear the eunuchs approaching them and soon, both him and Byung-soo were outnumbered by those men. At the same time, Ta-hwan had gathered the (all-black ninja) trained eunuchs with the aim to kill Yeon-chul since the old man had no soldiers beside him. Yeon-chul decided to go to the throne hall. Byung-soo arrived to report that they won the battle and Dangkise would soon arrive at the palace. Yeon-chul, despite his sickly state of coughing blood, chose to hold the sword to protect himself since all the soldiers had to leave for the battle. Yoo also realized that Dangkise had more soldiers prepared for the supposed small battle and Seung-nyang quickly left the scene. Meanwhile, Eunuch Bang went into Yeon-chul’s house and found out that the old man’s coffin was empty. Seung-nyang even used her arrows to help them! Yoo and Baek Ahn agreed to kill off all the people who knew about their plan in the battle. The battle ensued: Yoo+Baek Ahn versus the General’s side. Baek Ahn had no other choice but to attack the Generals, much to Dangkise’s surprise. understood the meaning of the white cloth: Yeon-chul was still alive and they shouldn’t carry out their initial plan to get rid of Dangkise and Co. Seung-nyang seemed to have delivered her message well since Yoo and Co. I’m still hoping, although that hope is getting smaller and smaller, that Empress Ki won’t go down the makjang route because I don’t want to see my Yoo, Seung-nyang, and Ta-hwan being hurt in a makjang-ish way….Įpisode 21. Ah, maybe it was just my heart’s defense mechanism, considering that we will likely head towards the sadder part, considering that we’re almost at the halfway mark. I also missed seeing the playful old Seung-nyang, who used to laugh at Ta-hwan’s antics and his tantrums. Because of that, I spent the weekend re-watching the earlier episodes, just to recall those moments of Ta-hwan during his stay on Daechung Island and the happier moments. I was happy that Baby Emperor had finally abandon his fear and taking things into his hands, but I realized that I was also afraid afraid that he would lose his playful self, his innocence, and his smile. Changes can be good but at the same time, it means a new beginning and possibly losing a part of yourself: the old you.
