She might be evil . . . but she knows a thing or two.

"Who knows? Her heart may have never been yours to begin with."

Hong Joo may be evil, but man she hit that right on the nose. Apparently Hong Joo and Seo Ri can both see right through Poong Yeon. I loved that Seo Ri called him out on the carpet and told him that he was in love with a naïve girl who only new to cling to him.

Not only that but we finally get Hong Joo's origin story. While it's exactly what I thought it would be, I still enjoyed it. It's always good to know what drives the villain. Especially when the wrong doings that occurred to them to make them that way, are the very things that she caused on an innocent. Except it cost her victim her life.

I mean it, my blood lust is only growing stronger. A showdown better come and there will be blood! Hong Joo blood. I vote on a good beheading. ^_- (I told you my blood lust is just going to keep growing!)

Overall this was a great episode. We are getting a deeper look into Sol Gae, even without her own personal flashbacks. Everyone makes some progress and I greatly appreciated it. Not to mention that this episode leaves off at another show down! (They keep teasing me.) I am so proud of Seo Ri. Not to mention the poignant moments of true love, and selfish love.

The Rise of the Princess

Who was the star of this hour?

Is it Princess Yeon Hui, the little girl who decided she wouldn't let anyone toy with her life and fate again. Strong, smart, and assertive! Yeon Hui made me so proud today.


Is it Hong Joo, the Witch who was once a little girl, whose life and fate were toyed with by the Royalty... Hong Joo, who despite all, there's still a human part of her that can still feel pain?

Events wise: It's Yeon Hui. It took her a lot of courage to accept herself with all of her flaws, even more, to realize you she has the right to be loved just the way she is (Thank you Joon for being the miracle of true love).

Acting wise: It's Hong Joo. This is one commanding actress who knows how to control the atmosphere around her. Whether she's the mother of all evil wreaking havoc in the kingdom or the woman so desperate to save the one she loved, the lady mesmerizes in her acting.

Who broke my heart at this hour?

It should be the couple of true love, I know, but it's really King Seon Jo who lost it all today. How awful must it be to be surrounded by people who are trying to eradicate you with your own body failing you and the one person you've ever trusted stranding you? One must say actor Lee Ji Hoon does a splendid job in fleshing this desperate abandoned King!

What was the biggest surprise of this hour?

Oh, boy! I think it's none other than Sir Choi Hyun Soo. Seriously, Witch! I was almost relieved and you came and threw everything into chaos, again! Well, they say beware of what you wish for. Sigh.

I thought I can't possibly hate him more than I already do. Again, I am probably wrong!
