The TVN X TVING original drama 'Wonkyung' (directed by Kim Sang-ho/scripted by Lee Young-mi/produced by Studio Dragon and JS Pictures), which aired on the 13th, topped the cable and general programming channels at the same time with an average of 4.9% of households nationwide, up to 6.6% of households in the metropolitan area, and up to 6.2%.

In the broadcast on this day, the suffocating conflict over the Geumtak incident at Hoeamsa Temple was depicted. Lee Seong-gye (Lee Sung-min) exactly threw a pullout towards his son Lee Bang-won (Lee Hyun-wook), and Won-kyung (Cha Joo-young), who learned the truth through the informant Pan-su (Song Jae-ryong), threw herself again this time to save her husband. After the service ceremony, Lee Bang-won arrested Lee Seong-gye and detained him in a house. He then mentioned Won-kyung's waste money, saying that he disturbed his father's feelings based on bizarre information and ruined the father's opportunity to reconcile. The intention was to calm the controversy over legitimacy by preventing the spread of rumors that the father tried to kill his son and emphasizing filial piety.
However, Won-kyung maintained her composure without being swayed by concerns around her. This is because he saw through Lee Bang-won's intention to break the flag in advance to see if the palace's momentum would increase due to this incident. Lee Seong-gye's true meaning was questioned. He didn't mean to kill Yi Bang-won to make Yangnyeong, his eldest grandson, succeed the next Bowie. This was a message to Yi Bang-won's brother, Jeongjong Yi Bang-gwa (Lee Seung-joon), who can move Byeolcho, a member of the elite private army unit loyal to the former dynasty.
This deepened the conflict between the couple. Lee Bang-won also figured out his father's plan. But I didn't want to think about having to pick up a knife again by my brother. Furthermore, the enormous information and financial power of his wife-in-law, Min, who was revealed in the incident, were also upset. In response, he strongly reprimanded Wonkyung for violating the king's order by having an informant. "From now on, I face and solve it." he warned. However, Won-kyung even mentioned the existence of Yi Bang-gwa, calling for a cool-headed view of the reality of not fully taking control of the palace. Lee Bang-won, who thought he was ignoring him until the end, turned around with a strong anger.
Subsequently, discussions on decommissioning expenses were suspended due to a visit to a private envoy. It is customary to prepare for the reception of envoys at the royal palace, and it was necessary to have a long view of the qualifications of the lieutenant commander. The Ming Dynasty, which Joseon had to pay tribute to, needed time to watch the trend because the owner of the presidential power could change depending on the outcome of the war. The envoy wanted to face Lee Seong-gye, who had a special relationship in the past. Won-kyung, who served as a bridge at the time, came forward to persuade Lee Seong-gye.
However, Lee Seong-gye drew the line that the king and the king had separate things to do. In addition, he downgraded Lee Bang-won as a great man who plays in the skirt of Won-kyung, who established today's king. Lee Bang-won, who was called by his father, said "Do you think Joseon is Min's country? Don't you think you'll see more blood in the future?`"I watched all this conversation in which Lee Seong-gye faced his fears. In the end, Lee Seong-gye gave a heartless order "Die!" to him, who cried out what his father's real circle was, astonishing his son and wife again.
In the meantime, there was tension in the house due to a secret power war. Lee Bang-wa, who lost the throne to his younger brother, was silent on his father's message because he no longer wanted a bloody death. In order to move him, forces trying to rebuild the entire dynasty, centered on the closest Namjeong (Jo Jae-ryong), gathered in secret. Seung-eun Sanggung Chaeryeong's dutiful attitude also amplified anxiety. Chaeryeong pledged allegiance to Won-kyung, saying, "Even if the shell is given to the prize, the kernel belongs only to the heavy horse." However, he also delivered intimate information to Lee Bang-won, who wanted to monitor Won-kyung and his wife's family. Questions have intensified over how Chaeryeong, who is walking a strange tightrope to survive, will influence the couple.
Meanwhile, the fourth episode of tvN X TVING original drama 'Wonkyung' will air on tvN at 8:50 p.m. today (14th). On TVing, you can watch episode 3-4 that was pre-released on the 13th at the same time.
