<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nWon Deuk\u2019s totally useful status multiplies 10-fold. With just a twig he finds on a tree next to him, he shows the thugs just how much they aren\u2019t his match, not even with five burly thugs welding wood and metal swords. And Hong Shim thought he was an idiot for taking them on instead of running.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nWon Deuk suffers a slash across the right arm when a memory of Seok Ha pointing his sword at him freezes him. Luckily, Hong Shim’s untied herself from the tree and manages to land a hit on the thug, and breaks Won Deuk out of his trance. Won Deuk finishes off the fight threatening death if they continue. They recognise they’ve been out-fought and make a run for it.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nWon Deuk\u2019s mind is on chasing the thugs down. No way is he letting the people who threatened Hong Shim\u2019s life go. Hong Shim, though, is eyeing that bloody arm of his. When Won Deuk only hangs around long enough to stop her from tearing her dress to bandage his arm, a hand lingers in the air as if wanting to call him back.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nJung Jae Yoon is detained for questioning for sneaking into the Crown Princess\u2019 courtyard, along with the Queen\u2019s courtlady. To protect the Queen and her use of talismans, Chief Censor Jung Sa Yeob (Choi Woong), Jung Jae Yoon\u2019s half-brother, threw Jung Jae Yoon away to fend for himself.<\/p>\n
However, Jung Jae Yoon\u2019s one smart, quick-witted man (Lee Yul had recognised this about him which is why Jung Jae Yoon was given the secret letter to solve) and finds the talisman the Queen denied using on the Crown Prince and Princess.<\/p>\n
Rather than help Jung Jae Yoon, the locating of the talisman gets him in further trouble when the Vice Premier accuses him of concealing the talisman at the Crown Princess\u2019 courtyard.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nSeok Ha learns that the girl who was captured by the thugs is his own sister. Whilst making his way into Songjoo Village, he saw Hong Shim\u2019s father and Gu Dol speak about the kidnapping. Seeing the cherry blossom tree Hong Shim told him was on their front yard, he put two and two together, leading him to Hong Shim at the bottom of the mountain she was held hostage.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nWon Deuk\u2019s trailing of the thug leads him to Park Sun Do\u2019s place. The trashing of the house, the kidnapping was Park Sun Do\u2019s doing and he\u2019s got the magistrate working with him.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nHong Shim is full of genuine worry for Won Deuk in this episode. Hong Shim waits for Won Deuk under the moonlight like one does for her beloved. She\u2019s so worried, before heading out onto the street to wait for Won Deuk, she was barely there whilst her villager friends sat talking at the pub.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nHong Shim attentively cleans and bandages Won Deuk\u2019s wound. As she is doing this, Won Deuk\u2019s gaze catches the rope marks around her wrist and expresses he won\u2019t let the men go until he punishes those who did this to her. This brings Hong Shim to tell him about the way society works: revenge is only for the powerful, not for people like them, people who aren\u2019t recognized as people as only noble men and women are considered people.<\/p>\n
Won Deuk doesn\u2019t promise anything with not going after powerful people. Instead, he tells her to not challenge stronger men because he doesn\u2019t want her hurt. Hong Shim bows her head with feigned obedience, agreeing to listen to what he\u2019s telling her. It\u2019s a huge change from before she learned just how capable he is as a man and a husband. Before, he was just a workhorse to her and she often treated him with a dismissive attitude. Now there\u2019s genuine concern and probably hidden respect for him as a very dependable, reliable man who actually has the ability to protect and care for her.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nJung Jae Yoon meets up with a gisaeng, Ae Wol, to hand her the Crown Prince\u2019s letter for safekeeping. It\u2019s not really the Crown Prince\u2019s letter. It\u2019s a fake. He had planned this meeting knowing he would be followed by the Vice Premier\u2019s men in an attempt to retrieve the letter Jung Jae Yoon denied Vice Premier from seeing. Following the failed attempt to save himself when he found the talisman, Jung Jae Yoon revealed to the Vice Premier the truth: he was at the Crown Princess\u2019 courtyard because he was led there by an order given by the Crown Prince.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nHong Shim stays the night with Won Deuk as he wants. She tried sneaking away whilst he was apparently half asleep, but he pulls her back in, convincing her to stay next to him because his arm throbbed and needed her to support his arm. Won Deuk eventually falls asleep while Hong Shim lay awake thinking about the kidnapping incident and Won Deuk\u2019s exceptional fighting skills.<\/p>\n
Hong Shim has questions about Won Deuk\u2019s identity again and leaves to see her dad for answers only to find he\u2019s not there. (He\u2019s out digging up the uniform Lee Yul\u2019s clothes from their house.) Hong Shim comes face to face with Heo Man Shik. In his hands grips a gold bar. He\u2019s not just a villager.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nSeok Ha flashes back on the time he had no choice but to work the Vice Premier. He had gone after the Vice Premier and threatened to kill his daughter (the current Crown Princess) if he continues his search for his sister Yoon Yi Seo, but was unable to do it. He threatened to kill Vice Premier and charged at him, but was over powered and brought to his knees begging for his sister to be spared.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nWon Deuk heads out early in the morning on a mission to retrieve the book he spent all his and Hong Shim\u2019s money on back in Episode 4<\/a>. It turns out, this book is a ledger and what brought the corrupt magistrate down near the end of the episode. He doesn\u2019t find it. Hong Shim\u2019s gone and taken it and given it to Heo Man Shik. She\u2019s figured out Heo Man Shik\u2019s identity apparently through that brief scene where she sees him with a gold bar in his grasp.<\/p>\n Park Sun Do calls the magistrate over early in the morning to come up with something to arrest Won Deuk over then kill him in a straw mat all because he feels unsettled about him. Conveniently, an arrow flies past Park Sun Do and lands on a pillar of his house. It\u2019s not Won Deuk\u2019s doing, but the contents of the letter\u2014the poem Won Deuk recited at his birthday celebrations in Episode 5<\/a>\u2014is used as proof it\u2019s Won Deuk who shot the arrow. The real shooter is actually Heo Man Shik.<\/p>\n In the palace, the Vice Premier\u2019s getting what he wants. The scholars are all demanded the King depose the Queen and Prince Seo Won for use of talisman on the Crown Prince and Princess.<\/p>\n Won Deuk\u2019s arrested and brought to the magistrates office and made to shoot an arrow to prove his innocence. It\u2019s a trap of course. Hit the target and Won Deuk is made the shooter of that arrow at Park Sun Do\u2019s place. Miss the target and Won Deuk is seen to be hiding his skills and he will kill Hong Shim.<\/p>\n Left with no choice, Won Deuk aims at the target at first but then turns it on the sword held against Hong Shim\u2019s throat.<\/p>\n Heo Man Shik shows up with the ledger Won Deuk bought, right after Won Deuk dared to aim and shoot in the direction of a nobleman. Won Deuk is saved from being tied down and beaten.<\/p>\n Won Deuk takes Hong Shim away with him. He apologises and hugs her for aiming the arrow at her. Here, he reveals to Hong Shim what reason made him try for the sword when he didn\u2019t even know archery. A feeling came to him when he picked up the arrow. He suddenly had this feeling it was possible to get the sword away from her with his arrow. He also reveals that a memory came to him. That is why he lost his aim. Hong Shim asks what it was about. He doesn’t elaborate, only saying it could have been an illusion.<\/p>\n Vice Premier\u2019s told the father of the baby has been taken care of by the Crown Princess. With this confirmation, Vice Premier proceeds with revealing that the Crown Princess is pregnant with Lee Yul\u2019s child while the Crown Princess reveals the news to the Queen.<\/p>\n Won Deuk\u2019s wondering what Hong Shim\u2019s real identity is. She was able to read books (Episode 5<\/a>), Hong Shim was able to know the book he bought was a ledger and she uses a Hanyang accent at times. Going to Gu Dol and Kkyeut Nyeo, he learns her dad is not her real dad and that she actually has another family. Her real family.<\/p>\n Hong Shim wondering the same about Won Deuk, too. She runs into her dad which has her demand to know. She reveals to him what she hid before: that, Won Deuk had saved her with a branch during the kidnapping incident. He also had great archery skills. Her dad tries to avoid answering, but Hong Shim wasn\u2019t letting him off easily. She asks her dad to tell her where exactly he’s from and to lead the way then and there. Her dad\u2019s answer to that is \u201csorry\u201d. He\u2019s looking to finally reveal the truth, but we don\u2019t hear what he says exact (not till next episode).<\/p>\n Seok Ha\u2019s found the Crown Prince aka Won Deuk! He\u2019s been following clues over the last two days. A drawing resembling Won Deuk that was dropped by a performance troupe had his men follow the lead to Songjoo Village where Won Deuk is spotted buying Hong Shim a pear of plum blossom embroidered silk shoes.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
