Yoon GapYook Sung-jae woke up and chose to go to Samdo Heaven on his own.

In episode 14 of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Goong" (played by Yoon Soo-jung, directed by Yoon Seong-sik) aired on May 31, Yoon Gap (Yook Sung-jae), who regained his body, crossed Samdocheon Stream with his will, while Jungjeon (Han So-eun) was constantly seen being attacked by shock with her fetus in her stomach in the Palchukgui's Cheondojae, which was finally held, attracting viewers' attention.

Yeori (Kim Ji-yeon) couldn't be happy with the return of Yoon Gap, which she so hoped for. When Yoon Gap's spirit returned to the body, Kang Cheol-i (Yook Sung-jae) disappeared without a trace. Yun Gap told such a young man "I came here to say something I couldn't say to you, young man. I've put you in danger of being in the middle of your arms," he apologized, showing his affection for Yeori, but he felt that Yeori's heart was already toward Kang Cheol-i. Lee Jung (Kim Ji-hoon) was also happy to see Yoon Gap, his favorite loyalist, return, but suddenly showed his emptiness by recalling Kang Cheol-i who disappeared, making Yoon Gap even more bitter.




At this time, Poongsan (Kim Sang-ho)'s hideous true intention of releasing Yoon Gap's spirit was revealed, horrifying viewers. He ordered Yun Gap to completely restore his body, and in return ordered him to pour alcohol into Lee Jeong's Gyeonggwiseok to make it powerless. Yoon Gap firmly refused, but she could not hide her shaking heart at the appearance of her mother, Young-geum (Cha Cheong-hwa), who was happy with her return.

At the same time, Yeori showed her affection for the disappeared steel. Yeori prayed earnestly, thinking of Kang Cheol-i, who was putting a jade finger on her, and at that moment, Kang Cheol-i, who was inside Yun Gap's body, opened his eyes like a miracle and was surprised. The battle for the leadership between Kang Cheol-i and Yoon Gap, which took place in one body, drew laughter, and Pungsan, who soon found out that Kang was awake, used his firearm to press Kang's energy and drive him into pain, heightening the sense of crisis.

The next day, Yun Gap decided to follow Pungsan's instructions, thinking that his body could be taken away by Kang Cheol-yi at any time. Yun Gap entered the palace to meet Lee Jung, and Yeori hurriedly followed him after realizing that the Palchuk Gwi-seok was aiming for Gyeong Gwi-seok. And just as Yun Gap was about to pour alcohol on Gyeonggwiseok, Yun Gap felt that his soul and body were playing separately. His hand stopped the other hand trying to pour alcohol and stopped the evil. Yun Gap fell to the floor, dropping a bottle of liquor, and at that moment, the ashes of the octagonal ear that had been embedded in his ears escaped, and Yun Gap's soul escaped from his body again. Only then did Yun Gap, who was awakened, expressing guilt over his actions that made him feel evil for a while, and earnestly asked Yeori to turn him around.




Yoon Gap's final breakup, which chose to go to Samdo Heaven on its own, stimulated viewers' tears and left a deep lingering impression. Yun Gap, the spirit who washed away all his business with the help of Yeori and Master Gaseop (Lee Won-jong), told Yeori that "My death is not your fault. I'm sad, but I have no regrets in my life. I comforted Young-geum, and thank you for giving birth. I was very happy to live as my mother's son", leaving a final goodbye. Lee Jung also burned the gate for Yoon Gap and sent off the loyalist's eternal farewell with tears, moving his heart. In the meantime, Pungsan lured Byeolgam Jeong Sa-soon (Park Joo-hyung) into creating a new scheme, amplifying anxiety

All.

Ahead of the long-awaited Palchukgui Cheondojae, Kang Cheol-i confessed his inner feelings to Yeori. Kang Cheol-i and Yeori, who could no longer stay next to Young-geum who lost her child, left the house and spent the night together in one of the tavern rooms, and Kang-i attracted Ye-ri, who treated her like an innocent child, and `Will you quit everything and run away with me? "Why don't you become an ordinary human being and become a hundred-year-old sea, delaying everything from ascension to heaven?" he said, making the hearts of those who revealed their subtle inner feelings palpitations. But soon "Where are you going to run away without dealing with him?" I just said it, and I swallowed it, causing regret.




The day of the showdown came, and Lee Jung-eun was worried about the safety of her midwife and the fetus in her stomach, so she prepared for the event by giving away the Gyeonggwi stone she had. In addition, Kang Cheol-i is fully prepared to exhaust the field of light while brewing and drinking the flower petals of the corduroy. However, with the start of Cheondo-jae, an unexpected incident broke out, shocking viewers. Fireworks soared from the armament of Yeori, and Jeong Sa-soon became possessed by her arms and began to wield a sword. At this time, contrary to the expectation that Lee Jung-i, who does not have Gyeonggwi-seok, will be the target of Lee Jung-i's octopuses, the octopuses rushed to Jung-jeon and cut Jung-jeon's stomach with a single sword, and the chaotic scene of Cheondo-jae and the panicked steel ended in the form of Lee Jung. As a result, keen attention is drawn to what will happen to the last blood fight with the octogenarians heading into a catastrophe and the spectacular development of 'Going Palace', which is even more turbulent with only two episodes left.

As a result, 'Going Palace' recorded the highest viewership of 11.1%, 9.5% nationwide, and 9.1% in the metropolitan area, ranking first in the miniseries aired on Saturday as well as the same time in the previous episode. In addition, the 2049 ratings also topped the list, showing off the irreplaceable dignity of the No. 1 despite the offensive of new dramas. (Based on Nielsen Korea)
