There are some people who has complained about episodes 51 & 52 calling it “boring”. However, I disagree as those two episodes were about the relationship between Yeoning and the Crown Prince, the aftermath of the queen’s death and how it affects the royal family. It lays the foundation for the final 8 episodes. Be forewarned, this is a fairly long post.
The relationship between the brothers is shown as a loving one, however due to political reasons this was tested and as such was having an adverse effect on them. The crown prince is being affected in terms of his health and emotionally, Yeoning is affected emotionally. They both love each other. For the crown prince to have and be a brother is very important to him as he is sheltered in the palace and looked at as a prince as well as future king and not a 12 year old boy he wants to be treated normally but is not allowed to do so. Yeoning allows him to do so. Yeoning, just wants a brother & he is happy for that. Its not surprising considering that the palace is just full of adults. However, for political reasons they are being pitted against each other more so with Yeoning who is seen a threat to the Namin party in terms of power and the Jangs. Therefore they will do anything to oust him and Dong Yi out of the palace (dead or alive). The crown prince because of this plans to take away that decision from his mother & the party (hopefully he gets to tell the king before the women do) as he loves his brother, and sees how this is affecting both of them and the royal family. Imagine your mother stressing continuously that your younger brother is your enemy & not your family for someone as sensitive as he it hurts him a lot.
The aftermath of the queen’s death shows what happens, as well as her dying wish to Sukjong. Sukjong who was it not for the dying wish normally would have complied to the demands of the court, however after seeing the beginning implications of what would happen if Jang Hee Bin becomes queen is able to have a broader picture which allows him to make those necessary decisions. Sukjong, though is a king is also a father to the boys who he loves equally, he wants whats best for both of them as well as the country. He is also adversely affected as well with the pressures of being a king. Marrying Dong Yi would allow the protection of both his sons, unlike with Jang Hee Bin & Namin faction where he could not guarantee his younger son or Dong Yi’s safety. In addition in order to establish some form of peace/truce in the royal household for the princes sake, Dong Yi offered an olive branch to the Jangs which was completely rejected, thereby laying out the final battle between her and them, determining the ultimate winner.
For Dong Yi, she had never thought of being queen as all she cares about is the man, her son and her people. Power does not interest her at all, though she has it, she uses it in consideration and for the betterment of the king and the country. Now this a role that she never thought of herself being in, and has to now consider as it affects everyone. Therefore the decision that she has to make will be a tough one.
So I do not find those episodes boring at all, rather an interesting layout for us to look forward to the final episodes. What would happen, if these episodes were not shown, imagine just automatically going to the Jangs and crew death. What about the brother’s relationship (the crown prince named Yeoning his successor later on) we had to know why he did that, we also had to understand being the type of person that Dong Yi is; what would she do in the palace after the queen’s death how would she protect the prince and herself, what did the Jangs do in the final battle that brought their demise, the mother is one thing – theirs is another. You have to give Jang Mu Yeol his props as well, he got out when he realized how disadvantageous it was for him to continue being with the Jangs, plus he was very angry with them for keeping such an important secret from him. There is a likelihood of him due to his foresight is able to save himself.
Looking forward to episode 53 & 54 next week.
