Overview
- Following Saturday’s episode in Korea, Seong Hui-ju publicly asked for a divorce and pressed the prime minister to remove her royal title as part of a plan to protect Grand Prince Ian.
- Prime Minister Min Jeong-woo moved to block her attempt, setting up a direct clash over who absorbs blame for the scandal.
- After the couple’s pre-marriage contract leaked, Queen Mother Yoon Irang intensified pressure with interrogations that questioned Ian’s fitness and honor.
- Rumors spread that Ian colluded with the chaebol Castle Group and that the wedding poisoning was staged, which eroded his standing with the public and inside the palace.
- Hui-ju also returned to her family to seek support, while new episodes continue on MBC with international streaming on Disney+ as the series heads into its final week.
