THURSDAY UPDATE OF SHINE OR GO CRAZY EPISODE 24 ON JOY PRIME (FINAL)

Shine or Go Crazy Episode 24 (Final) Recap. Good beats evil but the joy ebbs out of the last half of the episode. At the icy cold creek…Wang So (Jang Hyuk) holds Shin Yool (Oh Yeon Seo) in his arms. She faints. He begs her to open her eyes. He calls her “Yool” “Yool, I love you.” He kisses her. No response. He wills her back to him “I said I love you Yool”. She stirs and opens her eyes. A big smile is plastered on Wang So’s face. “Do you feel better?”. Shin Yool musters a faint smile. Loved that he finally called her “Yool”. Back at the treatment hut… The doctor declares Shin Yool’s circulation is improving! Baek Myo (Kim Sun Young) and Wang So are thrilled. The doctor states Shin Yool is on the upswing. Wang So drinks the warming medicine too. As our couple lay next to each other, Wang So opens the conversation with… WS: I hear you are the princess of Balahae. How come you haven’t told me about your past? About your hardships? Now that I think about it, I don’t know much about you. SY: Baek Myo and Gang Myeong are always worried about me. I don’t want you to worry. I just wanted to be woman to you. A woman who spends every day with you. WS: So that’s why you always treated me like So So. Even you when found out I was the cursed prince. I was relieved that we only thought and lived in the present moment. I was happy. Folks, I’m glad this plot point is concluded. Shin Yool lives. Wang So’s heart is happy. Shin Yool’s heart is happy. My heart is happy. Yeon Seo looked luminous staring at him with contentment. Jang Hyuk’s tender moments are simply superb. I know this does not guarantee they will still be living at the end of the episode but I sure hope so. Cue Opening Credits… Our two escaped consigned men return to the capital and head to the slave village to fight with Wang So. Gil Book tells Cheong Ok and Eun Chun (Kim Roe Ha) the rumors the village is populated by ex-Balhae natives and Shin Yool, Wang So will fight there and Wang So is the rebel leader. Eun Chun guesses that Sik Ryeom is spreading these rumors to stir people up. Like a one man cavalry, Wang So rides back to the capital to face destiny. Sik Ryeom (Lee Deok Hwa) holds court and tells his supporters he has proof (he holds the slave ledger from the trading company) that the late Shin Yool and Wang So were buying slaves and secretly building an army in the slave village. Not to worry, Poong will lead a army to suppress the village which will soon try and take over the capital. Bonus, Sik Ryeom will lead the army against the village insurgents and Wang So. “How can I stand idle and just watch?” Sik Ryeom argues with passion. Then he drops the bomb. After the riot is suppressed, the next stop is the palace where the new King will be installed. And the next King is…Sik Ryeom! Puppet kings are passe. He will crush the village insurgents. Sik Ryeom’s strategy is go big or go home! Eun Chun reports to Wang So that Sik Ryeom has stirred up the slave village. Wang So assigns Gil Bok to go the trading company and get them to go to the slave village to spread the news that Shin Yool is alive. Wang So will speak with the King. Eun Chun says Poong is leading the soldiers into the capital and they will arrive tonight. We will fight them Wang So declares. Wang So tells the King about Sik Ryeom’s scheme to install himself as the next King. The King marvels that even at the throne with full mental capacity he is clueless. Wang So urges him to act. The King asks Wang So to leave and give him a minute. It’s not everyday you abdicate the throne, you need a moment to gather yourself. Wang So asks the King’s adviser, Ji Mong, what’s with the King? Ji Mong says the King is preparing himself for a big decision. The King stares at his father’s words. “Abdicate the throne to Wang So and the capital will flourish for 1000 years.” He calls for Wang So. The time has come… The King tells Wang So: King: Yo
