I hope Hong falls and dies and get the hell out of the picture. I didn't like him in the first place. I never liked him in the first place. He was always arrogant and stuck up. He became the Dowager Queen's man.
The old saying power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Hong Guk Yeong is a prime example. I also fault the king because he shouldn't have given that sort of power to anyone but himself.
