Captivating the King Episode 8 Reactions
W episode! I loved how she asked for her last wish and it was a kiss. I did not see that coming! I love how the writing showed the parts when her feelings for him started to hurt her deeply. Often times our mind says one thing but our heart says another

The whole episode is built on the homoeroticism of the situation that the King is totally absorbed with his baduk player. The palace gossip is on high alert and his political retinue is pulling out all the stops to get this pesky little thorn in their site removed from taking up the King's time. Now the Queen Dowager has set a date for him to bed Court Lady Dong (I can still picture her licking the diseased finger of the late king, barf). Thankfully, Coitus interuptus with Lady Dong when Mong-woo disappears in a drunken stupor. He finds her, but that's not the end of the surprise. It's written all over his face that her final wish before death is also is dream come true. What bliss!
