3 Points To Look Forward To In The Final Episodes Of “Perfect Crown”
MBC’s “Perfect Crown” is heading toward its conclusion!
Set in an alternate universe where modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy, MBC’s “Perfect Crown” tells the love story of Seong Hui Ju (IU), a chaebol heiress who has everything but is only a commoner in status, and Grand Prince Ian (Byeon Woo Seok), a prince who has nothing despite being the son of the king.
With just two episodes remaining, here are three key points to look forward to in the finale:
How Seong Hui Ju and Grand Prince Ian’s love story will conclude
Expectations are high for how the relationship between Seong Hui Ju and Grand Prince Ian, who have overcome countless crises together, will conclude. Although the two began with a contract marriage, they gradually came to sincerely understand and support one another, eventually proudly declaring themselves husband and wife before the nation.
However, tension has risen again after Grand Prince Ian, who resolved to bear the weight of the crown, becomes caught up in another incident. Can the two protect each other and enjoy ordinary happiness? And how will their fated love story ultimately end?
How the collaboration between Prime Minister Min Jeong Woo and Queen Dowager Yoon Irang will end
The politics and power struggles within the royal family are among the main points viewers should focus on in the final episodes. After realizing that Seong Hui Ju has truly fallen in love with Grand Prince Ian instead of him, Prime Minister Min Jeong Woo (Noh Sang Hyun) begins turning against Grand Prince Ian, who was once his close friend. What choices will his obsession with Seong Hui Ju and his desire for power ultimately lead him to make?
On the other hand, Queen Dowager Yoon Irang (Gong Seung Yeon) has started reflecting on a past defined solely by the pursuit of power. Hoping that at least her son Lee Yoon (Kim Eun Ho) will not suffer the same wounds she endured, she is trying to correct her past mistakes. Although Min Jeong Woo and Yoon Irang once joined hands for the same goal, they are now heading down different paths, raising curiosity about what kind of endings await them both.
Choi Hyun and Do Hye Jung’s relationship, and Seong Hui Ju’s relationship with her family
The contract marriage between Grand Prince Ian and Seong Hui Ju is also bringing changes to the relationships of those around them. Grand Prince Ian’s aide Choi Hyun (Yoo Su Bin) and Seong Hui Ju’s chief secretary Do Hye Jung (Lee Yeon) are gradually opening their hearts to one another, hinting at the formation of a new love line. Their chemistry is another highlight to look forward to.
Changes in family relationships are also drawing attention. Seong Hui Ju and her family, who were always distant, have slowly grown closer since the contract marriage. As she continues to face danger, her father Chairman Seong Hyun Guk (Jo Seung Yeon), older brother Seong Tae Ju (Lee Jae Won), and sister in law Han Da Young (Chae Seo An) sincerely worry about her. Whether Seong Hui Ju’s family will achieve a happy ending is also a key point viewers should pay attention to.
The next episode of “Perfect Crown” airs on May 15 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

3 Moments We Loved From The Final Episodes Of “Phantom Lawyer”
Our favorite lawyer is saying goodbye! We might not have seen much action from Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok) in court throughout the show, but he far surpassed the typical office work to ensure every one of his clients got what they deserved, turning him into one of the best lawyers in K-dramaland. And when it came to what could be his most important case ever, he didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line to succeed, giving this story the ending it deserved. Here are the moments we loved the most in the last episodes of “Phantom Lawyer”!
Warning: spoilers from episodes 15-16 ahead.
1. Shin I Rang revealing the truth about his father’s death
After giving his memories back to his father, it was fairly easy for I Rang to confirm that everything he knew about his father was real. He wasn’t the corrupt and evil person everyone had believed him to be. He was the kind, warm, and loving father he always admired. Once he is certain of this, I Rang is determined to find the true culprit. The problem is, the moment he retrieves the only piece of evidence that his father left behind before passing away, they snatch it from his fingers at the last moment.
Though Shin Gi Jung (cameo by Choi Won Young) helps him and Han Na Hyun (Esom) escape unscathed by possessing his son’s body and showing off his kendo abilities, he gets concerned about I Rang’s safety. After all, his fatherly heart is still the same. But what Gi Jung doesn’t know is that his son is more resourceful and clever than he appears to be.
Using all the tricks up his sleeve, he and his team recover the voice recorder from Yang Do Kyung (Kim Kyung Nam) and expose Yang Byeong Il’s (Choi Kwang Il) crimes. And this moment couldn’t have been more satisfying to watch. It’s your typical “the good one always wins” trope, but it still works because the emotions feel real and overflow in a way that makes you cry watching both father and son realizing justice has finally arrived.
2. Shin I Rang and his family bonding with his father
While there’s much action and some thrill in these couple of episodes, there’s also much emotion going on. I Rang not only had the chance to discover the truth about his father’s death, but also to bond with his father in a special way, something he couldn’t do since his childhood. And when his mother and especially his older sister realize that his father is back, that’s when the real waterfall of tears begins. Once his name is cleared, the only thing left to do for Shin Gi Jung is to say one last goodbye to his family. The years they endured living under a shadow of shame and uncertainty are finally clear, and they can share a happy family moment again.
But in the end, not everything is happiness, at least not for everyone. Things turn a little bitter when Shin Gi Jung reunites with his once good friend Yang Byeong Il, who is unashamed about his crimes. However, despite Gi Jung being the one who passed away, it is Byeong Il who ends up more resentful and spiteful about his situation. But in a sense, it is an appropriate ending for this villain. They don’t try to humanize him or make you feel pity for him, since he ultimately reaped what he sowed. Another clear contrast between the good and the bad ones reflects on Yang Do Kyung, who, despite all his struggles to please his father and follow his will, is left behind all alone.
3. Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyun confessing their feelings
And throughout it all, Han Na Hyun stays by I Rang’s side. Their bond develops in such a natural way in these couple of episodes that even I Rang’s dad notices how important they are to each other, so it doesn’t feel rushed when they finally have the chance to confess their mutual feelings. Admittedly, it would’ve been great to see more of their chemistry, but their funny and charming kiss under the mistletoe is good enough for those who were longing for that bit of romance between them.
It is kind of funny to see a Christmas scene so near the summer in a K-drama, but that’s one of the best things about this show. It follows a story that fits any time and moment, since it speaks mostly about human emotions, relationships, family, grief, and justice; it can appeal to almost everybody. The hints of humor and romance only add to an already solid plot. It feels like it has so much more that it can give; it wouldn’t be crazy to expect another season of Shin I Rang being the best “Phantom Lawyer”!

Ju Ji Hoon And Ha Ji Won Face Final Choice Between Alliance And Betrayal In “Climax” Finale
ENA’s drama “Climax” has revealed key points to watch ahead of its finale tonight!
“Climax” follows the gripping survival story of prosecutor Bang Tae Seop (Ju Ji Hoon), who plunges into a power-driven cartel in his quest to climb South Korea’s hierarchy of power.
Spoilers
After the video leak scandal involving Chu Sang Ah (Ha Ji Won), her relationship with Bang Tae Seop has completely fractured, and the two will face off once again in the final episode. With the election approaching, they confront each other over responsibility and involvement in the Seo Young Sang case. Once accomplices who covered up and exploited the incident together, they now stand in opposition, each holding information that could bring the other down.
Bang Tae Seop is forced to make a choice for his political survival, while Chu Sang Ah stands at a crossroads over how to reveal the truth behind the incident that destroyed her. Whether they will join hands again or completely turn their backs on each other remains a key point of interest.
Having lost both his political foundation and financial backing, Bang Tae Seop now possesses materials related to illegal funds from the opposing camp. He stands in a position to launch a final counterattack by exposing the information to the media and potentially turning the tide of the election. However, such a decision could also lead to irreversible consequences. As someone who has already lost everything, whether he will go through with the exposure or choose another path is expected to be a decisive factor in the election’s outcome.
Meanwhile, Lee Yang Mi (Cha Joo Young), who has long designed the power structure centered around Son Guk Won (Joo Jin Mo), continues to play a key role in election strategy in the finale. She remains in contact with figures on Son Guk Won’s side, coordinating media responses and campaign messaging to maintain their advantage. However, the situation begins to shift rapidly with the re-emergence of materials left behind by Hwang Jeong Won (Nana), including black box footage and a list detailing illicit funds and connections between figures in the political and entertainment worlds. As the carefully maintained power structure begins to crack, attention is focused on how Lee Yang Mi will attempt to regain control.
How will the secrets and evidence Bang Tae Seop, Chu Sang Ah, and Lee Yang Mi each hold will collide, and how will the full truth behind the hidden events finally come to light?
The final episode of “Climax” airs on April 14 at 10 p.m. KST.
