its a confusing premise, but from what i got the photographer gave ryu a last chance to decide whether to go to Korea with him but ryu decided not to. he can either go back to what his life previously was or he can return to gilsu or do something entirely different and this decision is left unanswered.
tbh in the beginning its quite confusing, could be only for me since i dont really watch Chinese dramas, tho it absolutely got better. the acting was great, storyline was also okay
i feel like the king took those... drastic measures cuz of the fact that he was king and even with all that power he couldn't have the one person he so badly wanted. to add insult to injury, that situation occurred due to his own decision since both the queen and the chief were against it at first.
tbh i dont feel bad for the king, he got what he deserved but i do pity him somewhat..
