"Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" Episode 18 Recap
The episode opened with a confrontation between Princess Yeon Hwa (Kang Han Na) and Hae Soo (Lee Ji Eun). Yeon Hwa told her that she will now be Queen but Hae Soo refuses to believe the news unless it came from King Gwangjong himself. Yeon Hwa explained to her that the King would get dethroned if he does not marry her. She further said that the two of then could instead co-exist with each other.
On the other hand, King Gwangjong (Lee Joon Gi) and Prince Wang Wook (Kang Ha Neul) were discussing intently. The King explained to Prince Wang Wook that he rose to the throne despite his scar and that he should be the one to pick who he marries.
Eventually, because of several incidents within the episode, the King made Yeon Hwa his Queen. Hae Soo, however, still promised that she would remain by his side. The episode ended with Prince Wang Wook still plotting against the King. Hae Soo, on the other hand, shares the pain from the murder of her sister.
