Queen In Hyun's Man

I've just finished episode 14, and started watching a little bit of episode 15. I can't help thinking that it would still have been great if the drama ended with episode 14, maybe with a little more, an epilogue to fill that episode to 1 hour. Everything is settled now, right? And I've heard that the ending was a disappointment to a lot of people. I'm not sure if I want to go on with this...

Episode 14 was by far the most brain-wracking episode. I'm trying to get a hold of the events here, because there was a lot of scene cuts, where everything wasn't shown chronologically. I will try to organize them here.

So, when Boong Do was first shot with arrows by unknown assassins, as part of Min Am's plot, he realized all of this when he was brought back to the modern world. He told Hee Jin that he would take care of things back home, and them come back for her. When he first went back to the past, he visited the king, Sook Jong. There, he explained to him everything, and requested that Sook Jong kill Boong Do, along with Min Am, with the plan of proving to everyone that his talisman is fake. Then, he ordered his servant, Han Dong, to place his body at the specific place (next to the modern world's hospital), after he is dead. Then, it's the scene where he comes home, talks to Yoon Wol, and gets arrested by the royal investigators. He and Min Am are ordered in front of the king for an official investigation, and it is here where Sook Jong orders for him to be shot with arrows, to prove that the talisman is fake, and Min Am guilty of treason. Sook Jong calls for the doctor, and Boong Do is still alive, although it is deemed that there's no hope for him. Therefore  he is pronounced dead by the all-knowing king, and Han Dong places his body, along with the talisman, at the place. Boong Do travels to the present, and is treated by the modern doctors at the hospital, at the same time that Hee Jin and Soo Kyung are brought to the emergency room after their car accident. Then, after a few days, Boong Do escaped from the hospital, and then we come to Min Am's death sentence, where he sees Boong Do right before he is beheaded. Then, Boong Do says goodbye to Han Dong, along with Yoon Wol, and comes back to the present, probably for good.

I'm still befuddled about some inconsistencies with the time thing, but that summary above makes everything a lot clearer. I was wondering, when Boong Do goes back after escaping from the hospital the first time, it seems that everything that he's read from the Chronicles hasn't happened, including Queen In Hyun being sentenced to death, but before that, it is deemed that already happened during the 10 days that Boong Do was unconscious at the hospital. Oh well, it's probably best not to think so much about it...
