by SailorJumun

Have you ever reached a moment in a story where everything seems to fall apart? The emotions run high, and the stakes are at their peak. That’s exactly where we find ourselves in “Uncle From Another World” Episode 11. Our prince is struggling to control her desires, and one decision will change the course of everything. But amidst the crumbling of her life, there is one person who remains constant – her loyal royal tutor.

Episodes 11-12 Recap

This week’s episodes surprised me in the best way possible. Despite our ill-fated couple being separated for most of the time, the storytelling was captivating. It wasn’t just about the romance; it was about the characters’ growth and resilience.

Our prince and her royal tutor, who is no longer by her side, try to move on with their lives. They allow themselves to feel the pain in small doses while missing each other terribly. Dam-yi spends time in their secret love nest, and Ji-woon imagines her presence, expressing his longing to hold her and be with her.

However, heartache isn’t the only thing Dam-yi has to deal with. Prince Changwoon catches Ji-woon talking with So-eun and reports it to the royal court. The queen dowager finds it unacceptable for a princess candidate to have feelings for someone else, leading to So-eun’s disqualification. But Prince Changwoon doesn’t stop there. He uses this situation as an excuse to punish So-eun’s maid, ultimately leading to her death. Dam-yi is enraged and decides to take a stand against her uncle.

Dam-yi gathers the necessary evidence to sentence Prince Changwoon, forcing him to kneel before the maid’s grave and beg for forgiveness. However, the consequences don’t end there. Shortly after, Prince Changwoon is found dead, having taken his own life due to shame. Hyun’s older brother, Prince Wonsan, discovers the body and shows disturbing satisfaction.

Prince Wonsan, fueled by his own ambitions, gathers the scholars to protest against Dam-yi’s presence in the palace. Despite Hyun’s pleas, Prince Wonsan claims that the royal title was theirs to begin with. The situation becomes increasingly tense, and Dam-yi’s inner circle, including Eunuch Hong and Court Lady Kim, stand by her side. Ji-woon, learning about the events, rushes back to Hanyang, and Hyun realizes it’s time to reveal the truth.

Hyun presents Dam-yi with a pair of women’s shoes, confessing that he has known her secret all along. He urges her to run away, leaving her speechless. In her room that night, Dam-yi gives in to temptation and tries on the shoes, finally allowing herself a moment of quiet reflection as a woman. However, her father unexpectedly appears at her door, revealing that he has known her secret for years.

The encounter between Dam-yi and her father is tense, to say the least. Park Eun-bin and Lee Pil-mo deliver phenomenal performances that send shivers down our spines. Dam-yi’s heart breaks as she questions her father about his decision to abandon her, but he remains silent and orders her to live her own life – she is no longer the crown prince.

At this moment, we yearn for Ji-woon’s presence. And luckily, our hero doesn’t disappoint. Ji-woon finds Dam-yi in their garden, his love for her deeper than ever before. He assures her that he will stay by her side, regardless of her protests. With that, he leans in and kisses her, and she reciprocates. This passionate moment confirms the feelings they have for each other.

However, Dam-yi remains hesitant, unable to fully embrace her happiness with Ji-woon. But the next day, as she officially leaves the palace, she catches Ji-woon following her, disregarding her wishes. Her little smile reveals her delight at the fact that he never listens.

While Dam-yi’s grandfather and Inspector Jung conspire to bring her back to the palace, the king has already arranged for Hyun and Commander Yoon to guide her to safety. Dam-yi is taken to a secret location, where she receives a gift box containing a beautiful hanbok and a farewell letter from her father.

Wearing her new hanbok, Dam-yi sneaks onto the next boat out of Hanyang. Inspector Jung and his men almost capture her, but Ji-woon arrives just in time to fulfill his promise of protection. He is flustered yet touched when he sees her in disguise.

As Dam-yi tries to confess something to Ji-woon, Inspector Jung interrupts them once again. The couple flees, but Dam-yi’s arm is struck by an arrow. She grows weak, and Ji-woon carries her to safety.

In a secluded spot in the woods, Ji-woon tends to Dam-yi’s wound. She decides it’s time to reveal her secret. She removes the top of her hanbok, exposing her cut arm and her chest. Fear fills her eyes as she says, “This is my secret.”

The powerful love story between Ji-woon and Dam-yi has enthralled us because he fell for her without knowing she was a woman or his first love. Regardless of the circumstances, his love was inevitable. Finally, the moment has arrived for him to discover the truth, and we can’t wait to see what unfolds next.
