On September 29th, 2015 MBC's drama "Splendid Politics" (aka Hwajeong) broadcasted its final episode, with a total 50 episodes, marking as MBC 54th anniversary special drama project.
The drama reflects the meaning of the art of splendid politics, after achieving the final success against ill-will power, Lee Yeon-hee
and Seo Kang-joon retired from politics in order
to support the people. The long journey of 50 episodes has wrapped
up with a happy ending.
Princess Jeongmyeong (Lee Yeon-hee) and her husband Hong Joowon (Seo Kang-joon) rejected King Hyojong's request to stay next to him and went to back to the firearm development center.
Kang Inwoo (Han Juwan) lost his life after shot by a bullet that his father Kang Jooseon (Jo Seong-ha) fired. Kang Jooseon, Kim Ja-jeom (Jo Min-ki), Lady Soyong Jo (Kim Min-seo) were punished one by one.
After King Hyojong's ruling power became strong and stable, Jeongmyeong and Hong Joowon went back to the place they originally belonged to.
While King Hyojong wanted to have Jeongmyeong next to him, Jeongmyeong said, "I cannot follow your order to discuss the affairs of nation staying next to you" and "We're going to be your enemies from now on".
Jeonmyeong explained to Hyojong, who was surprised by her words, "The power will lose its true meaning and change after all. There is no power meant for people.
Power should not be something like this originally" and "We are going to stand on the opposite side not next to you".
She also mentioned the word, Hwajeong, splendid politics. The upright opposite power against the absolute power should co-exist and balance with each other. This is what Princess Jeongmyeong in the 50 episodes has been telling us about politics.
When Princess Jeongmyeong and Hong Joowon came back to the firearm development center, the two grabbed each other's hands and recollected their past memory in the place. The old story of the two when Joowon met Princess Jeongmyeon while he did not know she was a woman at the time brought smiles.
