 Yook Sung-jae, who confessed to Kim Ji-yeon, his first love in a thousand years, topped the list for 4 consecutive weeks → breaking the highest ratings



Yook Sung-jae finally confessed his love to Kim Ji-yeon 'First Love in a Thousand Years'.

In the 8th episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Going Palace' (played by Yoon Soo-jung, directed by Yoon Sung-sik), Kang Kang-i (Yook Sung-jae) and Yeori (Kim Ji-yeon) found out that the black power of the palace was one of the blind judges. In addition, it was revealed that the identity of the black curtain that shook the royal family was the maternal grandfather of King Lee Jung (Kim Ji-hoon) and Kim Bong-in (Son Byeong-ho), which shocked the king.

Kang Cheol-i and Lee Jung-eun succeeded in overpowering Sugui Makdol (Kim Joon-won) after a bloody battle for their lives. Kang Chul struggles with the determination to save him He was seriously injured and managed to save him by trapping Makdol in a scarecrow in a Salpuri ceremony. At this time, Yeori unwittingly embraced Kang Cheol-i, who was alive, creating a strange atmosphere, and Lee's younger brother Bibi (Cho Han-kyul), who was watching this, was not happy with the change in Kang-i, who was increasingly colored by human emotions.




Yeori even allowed Makdol to say goodbye to his daughter. Kang Cheol-yi is questioned by the behavior of Makdol, who only bruises his daughter for a short time, but Yeori understood little by little the heart of his grandmother, Neop-deok (Gil Hae-yeon), who was relieving the resentment of the treasures by counting the paternal love contained behind it. He then revealed that Makdol's identity as a threat to the royal family was a blind player called 'Aguji', raising tensions.

Among them, Kang Cheol finally confessed his feelings for Yeori, exploding the excitement index. On the way back to the palace, Kang Cheol-yi deliberately rained to create an opportunity to stay in the inn for Yeo-ri, who was weak. Yeori felt a subtle feeling in Kang Cheol-i's eyes looking at her, and Kang-i said, "Is this heart, this heart, this heart, this heart, making me dizzy when I see you, or is it just a prank that I experienced because I was trapped in a human body. Actually, I don't know. "I'm like this, what about you?" I've always been curious. "What you're laughing at now, is it smiling at me or is it directed at Yoon Gap?" he confessed straight away, exploding his heart rate.

Yeori was confused by her excitement about Kang Cheol-yi. During the conversation with Lee Jung, he felt guilty when he remembered that Kang Cheol-yi had killed a flatterer in the past. Yeori treated Kang Cheol again coldly, but when she saw the keepsake of a flat duck alone, she laughed at the man who killed her grandmother, I said. I thought it was just because I was confused, but I'm sorry, Grandma..." made the hearts of those who burst into tears.




Meanwhile, in the palace, a movement to uncover the identity of the blind man was in full swing. In front of Lee Jung, who directly interrogates the judges, Pungsan caused goosebumps with his shamelessness that stimulated Lee Jung's trauma, referring to his eight ears during the previous king's time. The priests, who received help from Pungsan, such as Kwak Sang-chung (Yoon Seung) and Ahn Seok-ju (Go In-beom), protested against Lee Jung's investigation, and even Young Eui-jeong Kim Bong-in (Son Byeong-ho), who Lee Jung relies on, persuaded them that the judges should be released. Lee Jung-eun, who had no choice but to release Pungsan without any results, ordered a covert investigation without raising doubts about Pungsan, increasing the excitement.

At the end of the play, the truth related to the death of Neop-deok was revealed, shocking. Yeori heard from Gwang-gui (Park Da-on) that in April of the year of Gyemyo, a month before Neop-deok's death, he held a ceremony to expel the octopuses from the palace. Yeori immediately visited Lee Jung and questioned him about the Palchuckgui incident in the past palace, and Lee Jung-eun eventually confessed that the late king was possessed by the Palchuckgui. When all the puzzles were put together, Yeori was about " not steel, but eight ears. The eight-cheek ear killed the grandmother," he said, shedding tears of repentance.

And at this time, it was revealed that the reality behind the royal family that shook it was 'Kim Bong-in', which caused consternation. Kim Bong-in put pressure on Pungsan by revealing his harsh appearance, and Pungsan said that it was Yeori who made all the plans go wrong. Then, the roar of the Eight Screams rang out to the shrine to complete the end of the shudder. While the identity of Kim Bong-in, the black curtain that shook the royal family, was revealed and shocked, it simultaneously raised questions and expectations about how the breathtaking confrontation between Kang Cheol-i, Yeo-ri, and King Lee Jung will unfold and what choices Ye-ri will make after learning about Kang's sincerity.
