by Unit
The marriage bells ring out in our penultimate week, however as a substitute of confetti, we get chaos! Within the midst of this, we cope with noble idiocy, we find out how the princess died, and our OTP will get caught in a sticky scenario.
EPISODES 14-15
Our matchmaking venture has lastly gotten to its concluding part: the marriage! As deliberate, Girl Park is accountable for internet hosting the joint wedding ceremony ceremony of Ye-jin and the Maeng sisters — however simply Du-ri and Sam-soon’s, as a result of Ha-na could have a separate ceremony because the crown princess. That’s proper, the crown prince and Ha-na’s marriage has been organized. This match stays fairly icky for me, however let’s simply go along with it.
Ye-jin just isn’t passionate about her upcoming wedding ceremony — and much more so when she hears concerning the joint wedding ceremony. It’s one factor to marry a person she doesn’t love for household’s sake, however it’s one other factor to look at the person she loves get married to another person in her presence. Quickly-deok informs Ye-jin that Boo-gyeom already turned down the wedding with Du-ri, and she or he additionally advises Ye-jin to place her happiness above her responsibility to the household.
With Boo-gyeom out of the operating, Du-ri doesn’t know — and doesn’t even care to know — who her alternative groom is. The one bride who’s totally invested within the upcoming nuptials is Sam-soon, and her pleasure is so contagious that I virtually really feel like throwing her a bridal bathe. Heh.
The explanation Du-ri doesn’t take care of marriage is as a result of the elders of their household had been ashamed that her mom was a matchmaker. You’d suppose the truth that Mrs. Maeng supported the household with what she earned would make the elders overlook the “vulgarity” — of their phrases — of the commerce. However nah. As quickly as Du-ri grew sufficiently old to generate income for the household with needlework expertise, the grandmother poisoned the mom and made her go blind to cease her from working as a matchmaker. Oh wow!
Poisoning? Harming a member of the family to cease them from “bringing disrepute” to the remainder of the household? I see Grandma Maeng had lots in frequent with Lord Jo and Girl Park. Anyway, Du-ri felt accountable for her mom going blind, so she determined to not get married. Now look who has one thing in frequent along with her soon-to-be brother-in-law. Earlier than assembly Sam-soon, Quickly-gu was additionally anti-marriage as a result of he erroneously believed that their father pressured Quickly-deok into marriage with Lord Jo’s family to offer him (Quickly-gu) a greater standing in society.
Jung-woo additionally submits his software to the self-blame affiliation when he learns that the spouses of Brokers of Love are fated to die younger. However Quickly-deok assures him that the princess didn’t die as a result of he’s an agent. “The years of human life are as much as destiny,” she says, and the blame solely rests on the ft of the individuals who poisoned the princess.
The dialog with Jung-woo offers Quickly-deok a solution to a query plaguing her: what would she have finished in a different way if she had been in Girl Park’s sneakers? Her reply: she wouldn’t have made the “silly resolution” to take the crown prince’s life. She would reasonably have let nature take its course as regards the enthronement of prince Jin-sung. THANK YOU! However proving to be no totally different from her husband, Girl Park insists that the course of nature is created by these in energy. Tsk.
Quickly-deok places it to her mother-in-law that Lord Jo and Minister Park died as a result of she messed with the course of nature. However I guess Girl Park simply thinks of Dumb and Dumber as collateral harm reasonably than victims of the household’s collective foolishness. Quickly-deok strikes Girl Park off her function mannequin checklist as she involves the belief that she is going to by no means be the individual Girl Park needs her to be. Thus, the road between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is drawn. Girl Park’s subsequent plan of action is to persuade the queen to ship prince Jin-sung and Jung-woo together with the envoys to fetch the crown prince’s investiture letter. I ponder what she’s scheming with this.
Anyway, Girl Park’s proposal leads the queen and the king to conform to annul Jung-woo’s marriage in order that he can formally help the crown prince in courtroom. It’s not a straightforward resolution as a result of an annulment implies that the princess can be a lonely unwed soul. However I like how they determined to respect their daughter’s final needs, and put Jung-woo’s happiness above their emotions as mother and father. That is the ability couple that Lord Jo and Girl Park may by no means be.
Lastly, there’s a professional motive for Jung-woo’s annulment. However like he talked about final week, he’s not staff annulment as a result of “by way of the matchmaking venture, I realized I don’t want a authorities place to assist the nation.” Yeah, proper. Simply say the annulment is not alluring since you broke up with Quickly-deok. Lol. The king praises Jung-woo for his character progress, however insists that he would have the ability to do extra for the nation with an official place. “I’m not saying this as your father-in-law, that is my order because the king.” *Bangs gavel* Man, I can’t wait to skip to the official annulment half already.
Earlier than the joint wedding ceremony and annulment, Quickly-deok persuades Jung-woo to match the slave hunter with Tae-ran. Jung-woo is reluctant as a result of his chest didn’t harm when he noticed them collectively. However even when they’re not “fated” to be with one another, Quickly-deok is bound they may have a great life as a result of they honestly love one another. Hmmm. Sounds to me just like the loophole we have to match Jung-woo and Quickly-deok.
Quickly-deok shares my opinion, so she confronts Jung-woo on his noble idiocy once more. “What am I alleged to do?” Jung-woo asks. Kiss and make up! Lool. Quickly-deok says she made up her thoughts to be with Jung-woo when he climbed over the wall at Lord Jo’s residence to interrupt up along with her. (This appears like a reverse scene from Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. Lol.) However Jung-woo worries that Girl Park is extra fearsome than Quickly-deok thinks. Quickly-deok assures him that she’s extra brave than he thinks, and Jung-woo has no extra arguments to make. On this word, our OTP will get again collectively. Sure!!
The joint wedding ceremony season is formally upon us, and Girl Park offers Ye-jin a duplicate of The Artwork of Battle as a result of “Ways are vital to steer a family.” I additionally discover it in step with her character to advise her daughter to respect and serve her husband, however to not blindly obey him. She’s such a strategist, however hey, I’m additionally for husband and spouse being on equal footing in a wedding.
There are various issues that may go flawed at a marriage. For one, the bride can eat her brother’s snack with out realizing that it’s poisoned — as we come to be taught was the case with the late princess and the crown prince eight years in the past. In order that was what occurred! Girl Park was the one who supplied the snack for the crown prince, however she denies it when Jung-woo confronts her. She provides that he ought to let go of the case for the reason that king determined to bury it for prince Jin-sung’s sake. However Jung-woo corrects her assumption. The king buried the case — and preserved Lord Jo’s integrity — as a present of appreciation for the loyalty of their eldest son who tried to stop the poisoning plot and died consequently.
Girl Park is shocked to listen to that her son knew concerning the plot, however Jung-woo just isn’t fairly finished. “Your greed killed the princess and in addition your individual son,” Jung-woo says, earlier than leaving Girl Park to spin beneath the burden of her self-inflicted blow. Ha! To suppose she threw her son beneath the bus when he was actually the one who saved the whole household from annihilation. By the best way, I completely liked this whole sequence. From the present’s efficient use of its favourite Pillar of Isolation to deal with Jung-woo and Girl Park through the princess’s dying reveal, to Jung-woo’s calmness as he confronted Girl Park, to her response to the reality that rocked her world — it was fantastically shot and acted!
However of all of the issues that would go flawed at a marriage, the worst is a no-show of the bride or groom. It seems that Du-ri’s alternative groom bought married a number of days prior, and Shi-yeol could be very upset on listening to this. “How dare he do this to Girl Du-ri?” Shi-yeol fumes. Quite the opposite, he’s completely effective — relieved, even — when he learns that his bride ran away. That’s proper, Ye-jin lastly selected happiness with Boo-gyeom over familial responsibility.
Together with his Agent of Love expertise and her fast wits, Jung-woo and Quickly-deok deduce that Shi-yeol and Du-ri are fated for one another, and Shi-yeol couldn’t be happier with this new improvement. So, we’ve bought Sam-soon-gu, and Shi-yeol × Du-ri. However our joint wedding ceremony has been deliberate for 3 {couples}, and it’s Quickly-gu’s flip to fume as a result of Sam-soon can be upset if the marriage plans don’t push by way of. Lol. However Quickly-deok didn’t come this far as Girl Yeo-ju simply to finish up with damaged matches.
Already, on studying that her daughter ran away, Girl Park deliberate to proceed with a stand-in for the bride — for the reason that {couples}’ faces are often lined through the ceremony. She additionally despatched a search social gathering to seek out Ye-jin earlier than the consummation with Shi-yeol. However since Shi-yeol has now been matched with Du-ri, all Quickly-deok has to do is go behind her mother-in-law’s again to get a groom stand-in within the hopes that Ye-jin will return — with Boo-gyeom — earlier than the consummation.
Girl Park means that Quickly-deok ought to be Ye-jin’s stand-in, and as luck/destiny/future could have it, Jung-woo finally ends up taking part in the groom stand-in. Unsurprisingly, regardless of the face overlaying, our OTP acknowledges one another on the altar… and so they get married. Hehe. Up subsequent is the very best a part of the marriage: the consummation. Ahem. (Truly, I can’t lie, my finest a part of any wedding ceremony is the buffet.)
Transferring on, the chief Justice of the Peace personally oversaw the marriage of the alternative groom, and he attended the joint wedding ceremony with the intention of seeing it disintegrate. However after witnessing three {couples} get married as deliberate, his suspicion is thru the roof and he decides to go to every bridal chamber to verify the identities of the brides and grooms.
Du-ri — who’s completely completely satisfied along with her new husband — spews cuss phrases on the Justice of the Peace for interrupting their steamy session. And I swear, Shi-yeol simply fell in love along with her yet again. As for Sam-soon-gu, properly, do we want any phrases for the way totally lovable they’re? However belief Quickly-gu to go from being bashful to straight up hurling a chopstick on the Justice of the Peace when he involves interrupt them. The snigger I set free! Actually, Quickly-gu ought to simply have blinded that suspicious Justice of the Peace’s eyes.
Our OTP will get all the way down to enterprise awkwardly sits within the bridal chamber ready for Boo-gyeom and Ye-jin to reach. Below the idea that Shi-yeol and the stand-in are inside, Girl Park tries to stop the chief Justice of the Peace from entering into. However the door is flung open anyway, and OTP’s eyes widen on the sight of whoever it’s that got here in. I can not consider that is the cliffhanger we finish with. How am I supposed to attend till subsequent week?
It higher be Ye-jin and Boo-gyeom who walked into the room as a result of I can’t think about the response if it’s the chief Justice of the Peace and/or Girl Park. It’s unhealthy sufficient for the king’s son-in-law to play a stand-in. However to be caught within the bridal chamber with a widow? It’s the scandal of the century, and the chief Justice of the Peace gained’t let it go in his quest to oust Jung-woo and turn out to be the brand new chief of the faction.
Girl Park is simply the identical. Ye-jin’s marriage to Shi-yeol is crucial factor to her for the time being, and she or he’s going to rain her fury on Quickly-deok when she learns concerning the groom swap. Oh pricey! Our OTP ought to simply have eloped in peace. I’ve not been this nervous a couple of finale in a very long time, and at this level, I’ll settle for it if our OTP doesn’t find yourself collectively. So long as the present protects them until the top. Please, don’t let any hurt come to my infants. Please.
