Kim Ji-hoon sincerely begged for forgiveness.
In the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Haunted Palace' aired on the 7th, Cheon Geum-hwi (Seo Do-young) and Wang Lee-jeong (Kim Ji-hoon) faced each other after Gang-cheol (Yook Sung-jae) sacrificed himself, leading to the disappearance of the Palcheokgwi.
Earlier, Gang-cheol consumed the ghost clam to protect Yeori (Kim Ji-yeon), depleting the glowing pearl and vanishing alongside the Palcheokgwi.
After the Palcheokgwi was gone, Yeori performed a shamanistic ritual for the deceased and confronted Cheon Geum-hwi (Seo Do-young) and the people of Yongdamgol. Freed from the possession of the Palcheokgwi, Lee-jeong heard Yeori's words and knelt down.
Lee-jeong said, "I have seen everything. I saw how deep your grudge is. The sins of my ancestors are great. Also, my own sin of knowing nothing is great."
Lee-jeong said, "I will not forget, not even for a moment until my death, the price of blood at the seat of the throne I am sitting on. I will dedicate everything to ensure that no one like you with such a deep-seated grudge will arise again."
Lee-jeong conveyed his remorse while bowing, saying, "I will sincerely apologize to you." Cheon Geum-hwi said, "I have hated your clan for a long, long time," and added, "How absurd it is that I can be so easily lightened with just these few words. All it takes is just a few drops of that tear."
In the end, Cheon Geum-hwi forgave Lee-jeong and headed towards the afterlife with the people of Yongdamgol.
Meanwhile, on that day, Gang-cheol, who had disappeared, was resurrected and met Yeori, and the two got married, leading to a happy ending.
