@gerrytan8063,  Thanks for sharing the information and interesting read I need to look more up on these Kings but I was never aware of a dispose kind couldn't receive recognition that other kings had but it's good to know his last wish was granted..

"Do you happen to know whats the year is in this coming episode.. "  

My "bet" will be around 1618, ....where the Ming Envoy goes rally support for being "sympathetic" towards Queen Dowager Inmok, as they need Joseon military support for the Liaodong campaign against the Manchu

At this moment, Gwanghaegun "sitting on the fence" is not sitting well with the Ming

Manchu declare war against the Ming in May 1618 with a manifesto of "the 7 Grievances". Manchu occupied cities in Liaodong like Fushun & Qianhe then in 1619, Manchu attack Yehe to provoke the Ming. In retaliation, a year later, April 1619, decided to dispatch massive expeditionary forces led by Yang Hao which included the Koreans

Battle of Sarhu was fought in the April 1619. The victory went to the Manchus

"...but I was never aware of a dispose king couldn't receive recognition that other kings..."

Look at the example King Richard the III of England (Plantagent), Henry Tudor depose him & he was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field & was buried without any ceremony at Greyfriars Abbey. In 2012, in an archaeological excavation in a council carpark in Leicester which was the former site of Greyfriars Abbey, Richard the III remains was found, in March 2015, reburial with the pompous ceremony of a King's burial in Leicester Cathedral

He was also portrayed as a tyrannical ruler in his play, King Richard III, William Shakespeare who wrote the play during the Tudors era, the succeeding Royal Household after the Plantagent but modern historian scholars have pointed to evidence that Richard III was a successful leader

At least Gwanghaegun died in 1641 , was buried in a Royal tomb in 1643, Richard the III had to wait 530 years for his

The King remains dubious about her identity and Kim Gae Shi (Kim Yeo Jin) is also sure that she knows her because the master craftsman didn't asks her who she is when she visited her. The King orders the faithful servant to check up her household register as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Queen Inmok (Shin Eun Jung) clings to her last hope with the bracelet which she gave Princess Jeongmyeong before she died in the ferry. The guard who picked it up secretly reports to Kim Gae Shi about it and the Queen's excessive reaction. Heo Gyun (Ahn Nae Sang) overhears their conversation and he senses something big is brewing.
 

 

 Hawi packs to bless herself from danger, but Hong Joo Won (Seo Kang Joon) misunderstood her intention let her move into the dorms in Hawgidogam. When they go to the work place, they find the head of sulfur department falls to the ground in smoke. They are shocked at another tragedy, however, it is a surprise party for Hawi, the best contributor of the organization's reconstruction. She realizes how much Hawgidogam mean to Joseon and the whole nation.

Kang In Woo (Han Joo Wan) heard about the lost beads from his friend asks Heo Gyun where he can find same one and he notices that it is the beads of the Queen. In Woo brings Hawi to a shop for fashion accessories and let her wear a bracelet as a present. Joo Won also bought a white bracelet for her doesn't know how to give her the present.

Joo Won goes to the palace without his official uniform at Gwanghae's behest. The King takes the young subject to his safety house when he meets secret emissaries sent by Nurhachi of Jin Dynasty. Joo Won is worries about the King communicating secretly with the enemy, but Gwanghae pledges to defend Joseon and the people from an upcoming war between Ming and Jin although he will stick his neck out.  

      

Joo Won's father calls men collected of soil sample in Gyeongungung and the sulfur specialist as directed by the Queen's man. Jeongmyeong is in fear that her lie would be discovered and runs away. She is caught by armed men on the run and wakes up in a strange place after she gets doused with water. Heo Gyun asks if she is a cat's paw of Gwanghae as though he interrogates the master craftsman.  

Gwanghae goes to Mohwagwan (a place where envoys dispatched from Ming and Qing China were received as diplomatic guests) to welcome envoys from Ming Dynasty and waits for them for a while, but they don't come. He rushes Gyeongungung where the envoys has arrived to say hello Inmok and looks hard at the Queen.
