2PM’s Lee Junho will be rising to the throne on the next episode of MBC’s “The Red Sleeve”!
“The Red Sleeve” is a historical drama about the imperial romance between crown prince Yi San (played by Lee Junho), who later becomes emperor, and the strong-willed court lady Seong Deok Im (played by Lee Se Young).
On the previous episode of “The Red Sleeve,” Yi San clashed with his grandfather, King Yeongjo (played by Lee Deok Hwa), who accused him of treason. The episode ended on a shocking cliffhanger, with King Yeongjo terrifying everyone by menacingly drawing his sword in front of Yi San.
However, in the drama’s upcoming episode, the crown prince will finally take the throne after surviving his life-threatening altercation with his grandfather. Newly released stills capture Yi San dressed in imperial robes as he sits imposingly atop the throne, having left his old garments and uncertainties as crown prince behind.
Additionally, now that Yi San has finally risen to power, he will be able to fully express his feelings for Seong Deok Im, who previously urged him to set aside their romance until he succeeded in becoming king.
The producers of “The Red Sleeve” teased, “As Yi San ascends to the throne, a new story will begin to unfold. Along with this [development], the king’s love for Seong Deok Im will grow even stronger, picking up the pace of their romance. Please look forward to the heartbreaking love that will begin between Yi San, who has now become king, and Seong Deok Im, who wishes to remain a court lady, in ‘The Red Sleeve.'”
The next episode of “The Red Sleeve” will air on December 18 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
