Today, we’ll be discussing Episode 4 of Mr. Queen, the hit K Drama on Netflix starring Shin Hye-sun as Kim So-yong, Kim Jung-hyun as King Cheojong, Seol In-ah as Jo Hwa-jin, Na In-woo as Kim Byeong-in, and Choi Jin-hyuk as Jang Bong-hwan. We discuss: * Then songs we played during the recap: Conspiracyby Kim Deuk-su and Lost Memory by Howl. * Last week’s episode was so funny, while this episode is really dark and there are bad guys everywhere. * The Queen has figured out that it was the King who tried to kill her in the alleyway. * The King is still desperately trying to figure out what the Queen knows. * The many plots to frame someone for the Queen falling into the lake. * The Queen accuses the King of going after her because she’s weak; this makes him wonder if the Queen is plotting against him or if she really is someone different. * Jo Hwa-jin goes to Grand Dowager Queen to confess they she pushed the Queen into the lake * When the King tries to defend Jo Hwa-jin, Queen Kim So-yong comes forward to confess that she tried to commit suicide. In this instance, it’s really Jang Bong-hwan who refuses to let the King be the coolest person around. * The triangle forming between Hong Yeon, Captain Hong and Kim Hwan. * The square forming where the second leads are in love with the first leads. * A new K Drama element: protecting a love one at potentially huge personal cost. In this episode, the King injured his hand while pushing the sword away from Jo Hwa-jin. * Joanna’s favorite hanbok in this episode: the pastel green and pink hanbok that the Queen wore at the end of the episode. * Knee pressing was a real form of torture during the Joseon dynasty. * The background and career of the amazing and beautiful Shin Hye-sun.
