Captivating the King episode 5 trailer: Will Jo Jung-Suk remember Shin Sae-Kyung?
Captivating the King episode 5 trailer begins with a man asking Hee-Soo (Shin Sae-Kyung) if she is ready to risk her life. She mentions that she has been ready for this day since she made a vow to herself three years ago.
Meanwhile, King Lee In (Jo Jung-Suk) orders Kim Myung-Ha (Lee Shin-Young) to revive a peach tree in the royal garden. He threatens to punish Myung-Ha if he fails to do so. For context, the latter forged a false confession three years ago that led to his father’s death and forced the king to punish Mong-Woo.
Myung-Ha narrates, “It appears that many people have long waited for my death.” The trailer further shows the king wanting to hire a baduk player. As a result, the palace holds a competition to find a professional. Mong-Woo participates in it and enters the palace. She and Lee In come face-to-face, leaving the king in shock. She is heard telling someone, “I have returned to bring down the king who tricked his way onto the throne.”
Captivating the King episode 5 will air on Saturday, February 3, 2024, at 9:20 p.m. KST on tvN. The K-drama also streams on Netflix.
