Holy moly. Lot of things happened this episode. Seems the throne changes everyone. I don't know why anyone who's spent any amount of time in the palace would expect to be able to take the throne and just do whatever they want, though. Even So had seen the crazy politicking and games required to be king and actually stay king.
I have to wonder if things would've been different if Jung had taken the throne instead of So, since he seems like a genuinely decent guy... I feel like So and Soo could have left and ridden off into the sunset together (maybe overly optimistic of me, but whatever, I'm just sad :sob:)

I got so grossed out every single time the notion of So and his half sister/wife having kids was brought up. Disgusting.
I'm still unclear on why the queen hated her son so much. Was it because of the scars? How does that make sense? And while I get his petty reaction to try for once to keep his mother to himself, it was an awful thing he did to his younger brother, not letting him say goodbye to their dying mother.
This is spiraling out of control so fast, I have no idea where it'll end. With how emotionally unstable So is acting (what's up with that throne making people go nuts?), it's a dangerous game Soo is playing. She feels trapped, but if she runs, So will burn the world down to try and get her back. Not to mention it'll be Jung's death sentence.
Everything is such a mess and I'm emotionally exhausted LOL
