What happened with the Crown Prince is a spoiler from real history.
WOW! that's interesting. It does seems that it would have the tragic ending that most are wanting, I do like these historical dramas that shows the struggles of love, hate, and disorderly livelihood. It is also sad that even in this day and age, things have not change. We are still constantly at war with others and ourselves. This drama is reaching close second to my first best historical drama, "My Country: The New Age", that had an ultimately sad but powerful ending. 감사합니다 @larus. I truly love learning about various cultural history, especial Korea's :)
I just need to know the end to the beginning. That is the ultimate end. Who is the white haired man in jail and how did the crown prince die? It's the reason we are all even watching this show. They can keep it going for another 10 episodes util we have the answer. I'm excited if they film more. It is an awesome story.
This said it all: One thing I did particularly enjoy and thought was done quite well though, was the way that this drama highlighted how social institutions and systems of power can be so utterly corrupt that they would abuse individuals and make them puppets in order to fulfill their own greed and hunger for power and/or self-preservation. It emphasized how this isn't a dystopian universe, but reality after all. The drama also examined and cleverly infused 'the power of love or the absence of', as a literary device very aptly through the narrative and showcased how much as a complex & humane emotion it could shape each person's lives and their respective decisions.

You may return ever 13 days, but I will return to you after your 14 episode launches. See you next year.
Sincerely,
loyal but annoyed fan
