The King's Dream Episode 7

Blood is spilt but it's not Chunchu's as Nutty Buddy spews bodily fluids all over the place. (Maybe you shouldn't have been growling and screeching like you were.) Nutty Buddy is quickly carried off and tended to. A vengeful Queen Sado has Chunchu strung up and his calves whipped. Out, damn cellulite, out! Chunchu cries but for once I don't blame him. I'd be crying too in this situation. Luckily Princess Deokman comes to his rescue, at least getting the beatings stopped although Chunchu is still left strung up.
 
A sweaty Nutty Buddy has an up close and personal encounter with Bihyeong. The Gwimun leader leaves a dagger sticking up next to Nutty Buddy's head. King Jinpyeong recognizes this as a warning: if anything happens to Chunchu, Bihyeong will kill Nutty Buddy. The queen makes the condition of the king announcing the royal marriage before she releases Chunchu.
 
Cheongwan is like all other DramaKorean women and easily twists her ankle, giving Kim Yushin a chance to feel up her foot like all other DramaKorean men. This is followed the the traditional piggyback ride. To be honest I kind of skip over the scenes between these two. <--------skip--------->  Yushin gets him some. <-------------skip-------------->
 
Jinpyeong announces the wedding plans to his court and anyone who doesn't like it can take their complaints straight to the chopping block. Queen Sado is quite pleased, while Nutty Buddy looks like he's got the DT's.
 
Chunchu and Yushin organize the Hwarang to oppose the wedding. They choose the day the wedding gifts are to be delivered to be when they make their grievances known. What they don't know is Nutty Buddy has just ordered Kim Yongchun to take charge of the wedding gifts. 
 
[Insert action sequence that has nothing to do with anything.]
 
Sukheuljong knows Yushin is against the wedding. He warns his grandson that any public opposition against the marriage will bring ruin not just to Yushin's family but to all the Gaya people. On the other hand, if Yushin supports the marriage, his grandfather will finally accept him as a grandson and forgive his parents for running off together.
 
Manmyeong politely warns Cheongwan to end things with Yushin, because that's what mothers do. Cheongwan leaves the city without telling Yushin.
 
It's the day of the wedding gifts. Chunchu is ready to lead the Hwarang in protest, even though he knows his father is in charge of the gifts. But no one has seen Yushin. Chunchu has faith his old friend will show up in time.
 
Yongchun is leading the wagon train of gifts to the palace but before they can enter, a gaggle of Hwarang stop them. From inside the palace emerge grown-up soldiers who surround the boys with swords drawn. Father and son just stare at each other as somewhere down the road Yushin rides to the scene.
