We also talk about the Donghak Rebels. We discuss:\n* The songs we feature in this episode: Palace by Howl and Bong Hwan-a by Norajo.\n* Why we think the queen hasn’t admitted to the king that she is the girl who saved him from the well eight years ago.\n* How the queen has decided to go “all in” with the king, even though Jang Bong-hwan knows the course of history and he knows that King Cheoljong was a terrible king, who died without an heir and without a legacy.\n* How the queen has allied herself with the king in a big way: she is teaching him about the future and she teaches him about military tactics from the future.\n* How Jo Hwa-jin’s confession was pivotal to this episode: she admits to the king that the children’s workbook belongs to Kim So-yong, and she found the ledger and gave it to the Dowager Queen.\n* Jo Hwa-jin’s confession means a permanent rupture with the king and a closer relationship between the king and the queen.\n* More information about the book The Mourning Bride by William Congreve.\n* How maybe Prince Yeongpyeong has also betrayed the king by not telling him about the ledger and Jo Hwa-jin.\n* The queen is back in the kitchen, thank goodness. She learns how to make Yihwaju wine.\n* How Kim Byeong-in hasn’t given up on the queen, even though she tells him he’s just not the one.\n* The K Drama elements in this episode, including Kim Byeong-in’s drinking, the queen and her ramen, the butterfly on the sliding doors at the end, and Jo Hwa-jin’s confession.\n* How the queen is taking a chance when she says she’s “all in” with the king.\n* How Jang Bong-hwan finds himself in an impossible situation when it’s announced that the queen is pregnant.\n* A little information about the Donghak rebels\n\n"}
