Captivating the King episode 7 trailer: Jo Jung-Suk fails to resist saving Shin Se-Kyung in public
Captivating the King episode 7 trailer begins with Shin Se-Kyung’s Mong-Woo in a battle against one of the royal guards. While the crowd cheers around them, he mentions stopping the game.
When Mong-Woo turns around and starts to walk away, his competitor attacks him from behind. He turns back and stops the attack. The two continue the fight until the baduk player falls. King Lee In (Jo Jung-Suk) seems agitated with the stick fight as he watches Mong-Woo get hurt. When the guard is about to deliver his final attack, Lee In intervenes with his sword and saves Mong-Woo. Although the crowd bows down in respect for the king, they seem shocked by his behavior.
For those unaware, Mong-Woo is the fake appearance of Kang Hee-Soo (Shin Se-Kyung), the daughter of one of the King’s ministers. Three years ago, Lee In failed to protect his favorite baduk player, Mong-Woo, which led to the death of the latter’s friend. Therefore, Mong-Woo returns to seek revenge on the King in the Netflix drama, Captivating the King.
