<Korean TV Series NOW> ”Former Kei” EP5, Cha Juyeon and Lee Hyun Wook argue = Viewership rating 5.0%, Synopsis and spoilers

*This article contains spoilers. tvNTV Series "Former Kei" EP5 (viewer rating 5.0%) is about the problem of "Gareishoku", a temporary organization established to marry the new concubine to the king.
The story depicts an argument between former King Gyeong (Cha Juyeon) and Bangwon (Lee Hyun-wook) over the death of the former King Gyeong. In order to blunt former King Gyeong's momentum, he ostentatiously stabs consort Yeongsil (Lee Si-ah) in the abdomen.
Bangwon, who had managed to save her life, did not stop there and planned to bring in a new concubine. This time, she was not of low status like Yeongsil and Chaeryeong (Lee E Dam), but someone who was a perverted dictator at Sungkyunkwan.
The daughter of Oh Ryoong, a noblewoman named Song (Yeong Si-woo), was the leader of the royal family. She was the leader of the royal family, who were the core of the powerful government, and she strengthened the royal authority and established a Joseon Dynasty centered on the people.
Upon hearing that Bangwon had set up the Garyeosek and was taking in a concubine, Former Gyeong immediately rushed to the palace to oppose the plan. If they held a grand wedding, the people would think that a new Queen Mother would be born.
He would have thought that if the concubine gave birth to a prince, the fierce conflict that Bangwon had experienced could break out again, but his reasoning was that he wanted to protect his own sons.
Bangwon threatened Former-Gyeong, who always refused to comply, saying, "If you continue acting like this, you will end up losing my love," but Former-Gyeong remained adamant.
"Losing the King's love is not a reason to lose me," he said, heading for his parents' home. Looking at the empty palace, Bangwon missed his former husband. From the moment they first confirmed their feelings for each other,
Until they became king and queen, his wife was always by his side. Every corner of the palace was filled with memories of her, and no one could fill the vacancy.
Following the advice of Choi Duk Moon, a key advisor who could see through the king's heart, Bangwon rushed to his former husband's house. He said, "I came because I wanted to see him. I tried to hold back, but I couldn't.
"I came," she confessed sadly. She also decided to follow the former's wish to abolish the color of the ceremonial dress. And the two exchanged a passionate kiss.
After returning to the palace, Former Gyeong welcomed Song, a concubine who had entered the palace without going through the proper procedures.
He also warned another aide, Park Yong Woo, who led the rift between the couple over this issue, saying, "If you want to enjoy even a little bit of power, don't do anything that will put you at odds with me."
The family also used this opportunity to plan a banquet that would clearly demonstrate their power. However, former Gyeong went to his parents' house beforehand, under the pretext of preparing for the banquet.
He had received information that the behavior of the DPJ's private army, Gabyolcho, was unusual and tried to contact Pansoo (Song Jae Ryung) of the Intelligence Service before Bang Won came to the banquet.
Meanwhile, someone was spying on this, and it was Chaeryeong. There was an incident where she had a feud with Song. She greeted a concubine who had a higher rank than her.
However, he was not polite and insulted her with confidence, saying that he didn't know when his status would change. Bangwon, who witnessed the scene, scolded him and proved that he had a use for him.
If he was not aware of this, he instructed Former Kei to find out who was giving the information. However, Former Kei, who could not have been unaware of this, found out. Former Kei had already told him, "Don't put yourself on the edge."
Chaeryeong, who was warned about this, avoided the crisis by pretending that she hadn't seen anything special.
