Jang Mu Yeol tells that when matter can’t be appease, then there is a possibility that there is some concealment truth of a different agenda to the matter. Jang Mu Yeol thinks that Choi Dong Yi leaving the for private residence is a smoke screen for something more major
“Sukjong tells that it is natural in savage instinct of the palace intrigue to stratagem to use brute force to succumbs the competition or else will always be thumped & intimidated, it is only Choi Dong Yi who under such circumstances is able to aspire such aspiration.”
Dear koz…l agree with you that no matter how manipulative politics can be,it is one’s own choice if he/she succumb to the will of politics or not. That is what Dong Yi actually want to convey to JHB when she met her before and for Dong YI she will not succumb to the will of politics but rather make something that bring benefit to the royal family especially for Sukjong.
Sukjong also for the benefit of the royal family and continuity of the Yi dynasty decide to fulfill Dong Yi aspiration as that is the only way both of his son will survive in the palace without sacrifice each other. But soron and JMY will never let this happen as this will effect their power and influence once Yeoninggun become a Prince Successor. They know that CPY will not able to produce posterity while Sukjong will make sure to ensure the safety of royal family will make sure Yeoninggun become Prince successor after he abdicate.
When King Taejong abdicate in favor of King Sejong…he hold much power and influence in the royal court and the same thing will happen if Sukjong abdicate his throne to CPY.CPY surely will follow his father intention without doubt if this happen.
Even though in history Sukjong never abdicate his throne.I would love to see this happen in this drama and for me that will be the perfect ending for Dong yi.Then we will able to see Sukjong and Dong Yi live their remaining life to the fullest together.
