In the previous episode, the trio (Sung Yi Kyum, Hong Da In, and Park Choon Sam) thrilled the viewers when they took down the group of government officials who were creating havoc in order to take a hold of the opium poppy (unripe seedpods of the opium poppy). Then they went on to accomplish their final mission which is to uncover the truth behind Prince Hwi Young's death.
In Hanyang, Kim Byung Geun (Son Byung Ho) discovers something in Hong Da In's room that belongs to Prince Hwi Young and immediately delivers it to the king which led them to group the trio together with the traitor Prince Hwi Young.
The newly released stills exhibit the danger Sun Yi Kyum is involved in. He was caught by soldiers and was forced to kneel before Kim Man Hee (Chae Dong Hyun).
Kim Man Hee announces the orders by the King to Sun Yi Kyum. However, we can see Sun Yi Kyum's eyes widen in confusion at the message. Another photo features Sung Yi Kyum participating in an archery competition after having a few drinks. At first, he is skillfully aiming his arrow at the target with a clear gaze, however after a few more drinks; his eyes slowly lose focus as he continues to take part in the competition.
