Seven Day Queen, the KBS fictional drama that is also known as Queen For Seven Days, will be back with episode 17 next Wednesday, July 26, at 10pm KST. The sequel will probably feature the demise of Lee Yoong.

King Yeonsangun stabbed himself with a sword and was bleeding in the shocking cliffhanger of episode 16. Since Prince Jinseong Daegun was holding the sword and Minister Im Sa Hong asked the soldiers to arrest the prince for trying to kill the king, it is likely to be a trap set by the male antagonist for his rival.

Shin Chae Kyung tried everything to sort things out between the royal brothers. Even her father helped her in it to a certain extent. But the timely interference of concubine Lady Suk Won Jang Nok Soo and the evil minister made things worse.
