Jihwa

Tbh I don't understand the whole hate towards Jihwa. For all these chapters Seunho's wrongdoings were explained and justified by historical context. That Nakyum, other servants are just lowborns, for nobles literally second human category. That's why we shouldn't look at his actions so harshly because they were completely different times.

But suddenly the same logic doesn't apply to Jihwa.
Imagine the dishonour. That the fellow noble man you've been in love with for ages... Prefers some LOWBORN over you.

Let's be real Seungho treated Jihwa like shit. And I seriously doubt that he didn't know about his feelings. He is intelligent and perceptive man. He's just used them to his advantage.

So imagine you've endured the mistreatment of your beloved for ages and you were tossed aside as some trash and replaced... Not even replaced: your beloved fell for some LOWBORN. Maybe said lowborn bewitched your beloved.... Because it's unthinkable.

Seungho didn't have bigger problem with torturing, hurting, raping or even murdering someone from lower status. But suddenly when Jihwa wants to do the same.... It's an unbelievable sin.

Some readers even judge assassin...as if it wasn't his very job.

The same with InHun. For him Nakyum is just a pawn in his play, second category human. Nothing less,nothing more.
