We're definitely heading towards the new character kidnapping of Yeonjo. He looks hot and powerful but he's also described as devious so I am not sure Yeonjo will be safe around him. I imagine a scenario where they will both find a way to get along since they share the same objective of killing the governor. We may also have a cliché plot of the new furious character also falling in love with Yeonjo at some point all while the governor goes crazy trying to get Yeonjo back??
Then I expect Yeonjo to sabotage the new character killing goal when the time comes and the governor will be at his mercy. He just can't do it. I forsee him sacrificing his own life in a desperate move to protect the governor and that gesture will finally prove without any doubt possible his true feelings.
Now will they both die at that moment still? Will only one of them survive and the second live in agony afterwards? Or maybe both will survive and we will have the unlikely happy ending after all? We'll see...
It's sad that Yeonjoo has realized he has come to love the man, but will be empty til he has no more of himself. Either he's gonna kill himself or get kidnapped by that new character. Either way, have that damn governor regret all his actions!
