The King’s Affection Episode 17 Recap

The King’s Affection Episode 17 sees Commander Jung saving the lives of Hwi and Ji Un when assassins attacked them on their way back to the palace after visiting Officer Yoon’s grave. Ji Un’s father is aware of the truth that the King is a woman, but his primary concern is his son’s safety.

On the other hand, Ga On continues to find out what killed the late king and who is in charge of the murder of the physician. He saw someone familiar while he was out in the marketplace.

Rumors started to circulate amongst the palace staff about the King and Ji Un’s late-night rendezvouses in the palace. The Queen also catches up that something intimate is going on between the two, especially since the King refuses to sleep with her.

Commander Jung takes matters into his own hands to protect Ji Un. He arranges the marriage of Ji Un to So Eun so that the rumors will end.

His father convinced Ji Un to wed so the King’s life would be saved. As Commander Jung is now aware of the fact that the king is a woman, killing her will not be considered treason.

Meanwhile, Commander Jung kills Lord Changun to bury the King’s secret.
