The king's body guard informs the king that yeonsoo is dead and that his real name is ND!!!!!! the king now knows that ND IS HIS SON. He is in disbelief and demands to see ND to ask him in person. King cries as he recalls his memories with ND, including the conversation at the swing, climbing up the mountain, and the time ND shed tears in front of the king. He is now angry that ND tried to fool him, and takes a sword while he tries to personally find ND.

 

Conspirators are also trying to find ND to kill him. Before the king gets to ND he is stopped by one of the consipiring ministers. Minister says some sarcastic crap and then draws his sword on the king. King runs away. He is now at a cliff.

 

Thank you so much for the recap my stream wasnt working seems like an exciting episode, yet again i top  page without having something to share.. so sorry

Most emotional scene of the night:

 

[Sky8lue 4,454]

Crew just posted this very cute clip 

 

Webtoon author's + hubby's reaction to tonight's episode. Her caption says something along the lines of wanting tomorrow to come faster, but also not wanting tomorrow to come. She must be feeling conflicted like us viewers because we are approaching the finale  

 

[Ameera Ali 43,573]

seriously king was tired of all the chat he want to kill him self  , @Sky8lue I question how many arrow she Bring to the mission  
 

 

 

[icryforattention 344]

seems like most of the story will wrap up in tomorrow's episode, although i really have no idea where we are going with the coup (idk if it will be successful, because from the preview it seems like it won't be. but we all know that in history, the coup was successful. 

 

also it seems that currently no one knows if the king is dead or alive (seemingly no effort has been shown to find him after he fell off the cliff)

 

if anyone has the link to the preview pls pls pls send it here. i really want to see the preview again but i dont have the time to go and find it or the patience to refresh kbs' social media for it haha

Looking at some spoiler clips, gotta say this drama is just ah-ma-zing... I totally love the unpredictability of it. I know Nokdu is always 10 steps ahead of YM ...

 

If there's no coup, I would be happy about it actually and YM not getting the throne. He may be based in a historical figure but this is fiction after all, so I would want the writers to go that route.

Bad run + bad catch = mission completed in away

sorry no one Jumping in the cold water to save you

Based on the few instagram videos... this feels like a whole new show hmmm.. will get a better handle when i see the thing in full. Thanks to all three screencappers and recappers!!!

i lost my streaming link. Cant watch live streaming tonight.

 

Can anyone dm me a new link to watch live streaming for tomorrow. Truly appreciated it.

Side Note * Is KBS gonna air both ep 15 & 16 TOMORROW?

[valNK 4,397]

If I were ND, this scene would give me trauma for yearsss.

 

I like it anw.

DJ is so badass today. I always feel excited whenever fm lead in action and shock the male lead LOL 

It makes me think if she met ND's foster father sooner, thing may go right for her.

She really has good relationship with her all-kind-of father-in-law 

 

However, I feel like the story is almost done, but there're still 2 episodes left. I wonder what else would happen next. Of course, the King can not die that simple. And this drama may end before YM dethrones him. But whatever it is, just let our Dongjeon stay together, fight together and get married in the last episode. 

 

PS: I was a bit surprised when seeing the still cut. How handsome Kim So hyun . Looking at her side profile, I even thought that was jang dong yoon.

And after this ep, I just wish she'd have an action movie in the future.

 

Spoiler

 

[Sky8lue 4,454]

@Ameera Ali   It's poetic justice for the King to 

Spoiler

die(?) from slipping and falling off the cliff... For a person who spent so many years trying to guard his precious throne by using some of the most ruthless means possible (including attempting to murder his own son), there is no more tragic way to die. I'm glad that Dongju wasn't the one to take his life. She chose to use her (last?) arrow to shoot the traitor who was about to harm Nokdu, because saving Nokdu's life meant more to her than taking revenge on the King. 

 

And in classic k-dramas, the good guys either have an unlimited number of arrows or never enough. Hollywood is guilty of this too (think Legolas in LOTR).

 

 

And finally.... the preview!

 

[Ameera Ali 43,573]

 

I always want nokdu to jump her  so I will accept this

Wow, I can't believe this made me un-lurk here. But it can't be helped. I have been tempted to post here for a few weeks already. This drama is just so good! It deserves more people to praise it on the loop.  And I am a huge drama consumer, so I fear I will be a regular visitor from now on.

 

I love JDY and KSH together. They made the story magical. Their acting is amazing.

 

What had me post here today is a feeling I have about the ending. I somehow can't imagine Nokdu not jumping down that cliff. I have a feeling he would not let the king drown. Also, the fact that he is an island guy and swimming pro... when is the better time to use it than now at this scene? And the fact they didn't show anything between the cliff and ND coming to talk to the guard... I don't know, if the king is still floating in that water, I think that's a great plot hole.

 

That said, I am so hyped for tomorrow! I don't think they are really going to air two episodes, but if they do, I am going to jump from the excitement.

[lightbringer06 7,014]

Why do I feel like the King willingly let go of his hand when DJ grabbed his hand... still don't like him. BUT if at that moment, if the thought of seeing DJ extending her hand to him despite the tough life she's gone through made him regret everything he's done, then I may forgive him. Forgiveness is always at the top of my vocabulary anyway, so ...

 

 

Uri Prince Nokdu looking FINE in the ending scene 

 

 

@dramaonion I'm glad you decided to unlurk^^.. you should have done so earlier.. haha.. but yeah, welcome and join us for the remaining episodes of this brilliant drama

I agree. Tomorrow's ep will probably show what happened to the King. I don't think he just died there. Usually if it's nearing the end of the episode, there are some scenes not shown which they'll show in the beginning of the next or through a flashback.

Dan Ho aka the most overworked bodyguard in Joseon times... I hope we get a glimpse of his back story in the final episodes, just so that we understand his unflinching loyalty to Grand Prince Neungyang despite his master's ruthless ways.

 

I spot Nokdu. Crew all posting D-7 updates!
