RIP my poor heart :(

fck it. the writer is really not playing games here.this episode was so fckin heavy :(when Crown Prince's Eunuch got poisoned and died after sending his last message to Prince and the King, saying that if he does not kill the Deputy Chief Han with his own hands, everyone around him will be killed by the Pyunsoo Group.the way Crown Prince embraced him after he breathed his last, that was so fckin painful.we also see that Hwa Gom and her loyal swordsman saw how the Prince was grieving and hurting, and then she told him to keep the Crown Prince secret from her grandfather, and that protecting the Prince's life is the same as protecting hers.amazing. from someone who i cannot stand just one episode before, the SFL is now completely grabbing my attention. i think this is going to be the most intense and well-written SFL for a love triangle i have ever seen in kdramaland.also i loved how the King really tried to kick some senses into the Crown Prince's head and explained to him that it was his rash actions that costed the lives of the Eunuch and Deputy Chief Han. so the Crown Prince rebelled and said that he doesn't ask to be born and take after all those burden, and that the King should have just left him to die when he was poisoned as a baby, instead of relenting to the power of Pyungsoo Group to save his son. and that to be able to annul the death execution of Deputy Chief Han (Ga Eun's father), the Crown Prince offers to willingly surrenders himself to Pyungsoo Group, irrespective of whether or not they'll kill him. well of course it doesn't work that way, and the fact that he was born as a Crown Prince and the future King of Joseon is his own damned destiny to bear.//the early writing of this Crown Prince character here reminds me of the writing for the male leads in Warrior Baek Dong Soo, The Royal Gambler and The Crowned Clown. the shock factor that the ML had to go through for proper character development is unimaginably crazy.what a damn good ride this is gonna be :(
