Captivating the King Episode 3 Recap
Myung-ha keeps Hee-soo’s identity hidden, emphasizing their promise to play Baduk together this time. Lee In, disheartened, leaves the scene. Myung-ha warns Hee-soo about the potential consequences of being caught in her male disguise, mentioning the likelihood of torture during interrogation. Despite their argument, Myung-ha expresses his love and commitment, pledging to wait for her. Grand Prince Lee In grapples with thoughts about Hee-soo and Myung-ha’s relationship, questioning the nature of their bond.
In the King’s palace, news surfaces about a spy captured in the Qing dynasty, and the blame is cast upon Grand Prince Lee In. The King, aware of his role in sending the spy, refrains from revealing the truth and allows the ministers to identify the culprit. The Minister of War, receiving information implicating Lee In, readily believes it. Lee In’s master, who orchestrated the spy mission, appeals to the King to act as an envoy seeking forgiveness from the Qing dynasty, and the King agrees.
Lee In, realizing the gravity of the situation, confronts his master, urging him to send Lee In instead. However, his master explains the orchestrated rumors and emphasizes the need to protect Lee In for the country’s welfare. Hee-soo overhears, heartbroken, and distances herself from Lee In to avoid recognition.
The day of the Master’s arrest arrives, and the King, burdened with guilt, agrees to the Minister of War’s assertion that Grand Prince Lee In is the spy. The Minister uses this opportunity for personal vendetta, arresting Baduk players and the comfort woman. Learning of the impending torture, Hee-soo disguises herself and arrives. Myung-ha, concerned for her safety, tries to prevent her involvement. Just in time, Grand Prince Lee In intervenes, offering himself for interrogation.
He proceeds to the King’s chamber, and a heated argument ensues. The King, acting selfishly, refuses to acknowledge the truth despite Lee In’s awareness. In the midst of their confrontation, Lee In seizes the King’s sword, placing it near the King’s neck to halt his attacks.
