Ending was just forced I would have liked if the three spinter and their husband made a plan to rescue ML and…
The three sisters and their husbands saving Jung Woo and Soon Deok seem thrilling, but it will leave plot holes. It was made public that the couple had an affair, so the death sentence for Jung Woo by drinking poison (cos he's a royal son-in-law) is realistic, it's the law of that period. Only the King can fake that punishment. Also, this drama emphasizes strong female characters. So, it makes sense if Soon Deok takes her fate into her own hands, she refuses to be forced by Lady Park to commit suicide or be saved by others. She told Jung Woo her portion in saving herself was 80%, 20% belonged to the royal guards who came sent by the palace. MIL becomes weak because she realizes her family is ruined. Before, killing her husband and brother was to save her family (herself, Ye Jin, Soon Deok, and Geun Seok). But Ye Jin ruined the political marriage alliance with the Defense Minister's son and ran away with another man, Soon Deok had an affair with Jung Woo, and even the little boy knows what his grandmother did. That's why Lady Park looked lost, because she lost everything, without dramatic punishment.
For anyone who doesn't know who Park Moon Soo is (in Ep 16 the finale): He is a real historical figure. He is a Korean government official in the period of King Yeongjo in the Joseon dynasty. He was famous for his lifetime protecting the Korean people from corrupt royal officials. After passing the state examination, he later became a secret royal inspector. He is the most famous secret inspector in the history of Korea and has become something of a legendary figure, with many legends surrounding his achievements. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Mun-su
The royal secretary is talking about the fifth Park Moon Soo, probably because there were already previous Korean movies/dramas depicting this legendary character.
Awww... the King is my second favorite character after Lady Samsoon! Rarely do we have a wise king (and funny, too!) as a supporting character in historical dramas. Either they are bad kings or just filler characters as there must be a king for a palace plot. I bet he loves Jung Woo like his own son!
Huh? I read the synopsis and it doesn't say anything about cheating... neither it's in the tag... Who's cheating…
Yeah, I just watched her video. But I think as what @NAY thought, that maybe they were already arranged marriage to other people before meet each other. Hopefully don't have unbearable love triangle/square, tho!
So son is following dad's phone... interesting... son might have an important role in the mystery plot development…
Son seems having a mental issue but I think dad abused him in the past too and forces him to take psych meds in the present. Dad is the one with mental issue, even his wife afraid of him. Son seemed suspicious and crazy. But I think he has followed dad since he is suspicious of something. He probably also witnessed dad killing grandma.
So son is following dad's phone... interesting... son might have an important role in the mystery plot development later... [below is the spoiler detail of my guess]

The last dice Gu Won threw when making the bet with God resulted in 1 and 1. It's symbolic.
Next, will we see the secretaries???
