It is 1724….The coronation of Yeongjo with his Queen….Queen Jeongseong of Dalseong Seo. Cha Cheon Soo witness Yeongjo’s coronation then as the Official asked the Royal Court to praise long live the King

Caption….Yeongjo (1694-1776). Joseon 21st King

Then Sukjong voice call out

Sukjong: Dong Yi!!

As the young girl Dong Yi turns hearing her name call

Return to the meadow as Choi Dong Yi turns around & smiles. Sukjong approaches her at the meadow as she greets Sukjong then Sukjong comes to hold her hands then embrace her as they find comfort in each other warm embrace. Sukjong takes her by her hands & continues their stroll in the meadow

Review

It seems that the scene starts that Choi Dong Yi walking in the meadow was to indicate her passing then in the end we get the continuation of the scene where as she turns, Sukjong is behind her, calls out to her, embrace her with yearn then hold her hands to take her to stroll.

An old Chinese folklore have said that a day in heaven is equivalent of 10 years on earth, so it wouldn’t take long for Sukjong to come to the meadow, since their death was just 2 years apart
