![]() ![]() While it was interesting to see how she had built up Ok-nyeo as the source of all her trouble, I’m still a little irritated that Nan-jung’s death went that route. To be fair, Munjeong’s death was more due to thwarted ambition and age, and she technically wouldn’t be the first character to succumb to emotional shock in this show (see: Ji-hun’s father). I mean, I’m still going to complain a little mostly because I’m tired of “woman dies of a broken heart and/or madness” trope. Unfortunately, my lack of knowledge of the finer details means that I can’t authoritatively complain too much about Queen Dowager Munjeong’s and Nan-jung’s deaths. Unless they turned on the bigger bads, then they got to survive. I mean, even if you didn’t know the historical events behind all this (I only know the broadest brushstrokes), it wouldn’t be all that much of a surprise to see that the villains all got what was coming to them: death. TL DR: The heroes are rewarded for their virtue the villains come to tragic ends. ![]()
