At least someone can have a proper reflexion about this story.
... sorry I press to fast the button "post" (my bad).
You speak the truth and I want to thank you because I can't stand all the coment I read. People forget this is another area during which you can't act like in our century. I mean, I read someone recommend a therapy to Seungho... like you can at that time ! ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
No worries, it happens, thanks for commenting and agreeing with me.
Yes, I feel the same way. This story takes place roughly somewhere around the 18th century (judging by Min's comment about the Qing dynasty) and things were very different then, not just in Korea but all over the world. You just can't apply the ethics, morality and standards of our time on past events. It's ridiculous how people can't seem to understand that.
Exactly !
It looked like SH was apologizing when he raised NK's hand to his forehead. You could tell he felt guilty as he rubbed NK's bruises too. The fact that he let Heena stay at NK's side also speaks volumes. It makes me feel like SH is not a total lost cause. I'm not saying this or a mere apology can make up for his abuse, very little if anything can, but at least it's good to see that he can show remorse and that he's not totally rotten. I only hope that he and NK will have a proper conversation soon and that he'll actually admit he was wrong and apologize somehow. I'm not saying he must say the words, because he's a noble after all and apologizing to a lowborn would be considered quite a humiliating act, but to show it some way.
While I would like NK to go with Heena to the kisaeng house and get away from this awful affair that would make him an easy target for both Min and Nameless. Now that Min has revealed Ji-Hwa's actions there is no question that SH will try to retaliate somehow and as a result Namless will likely think NK spilled the beans. NK is safest with SH now that he finally knows the truth. It's sad and ironic, but it is what it is.
I'm really looking forward to the Special Story chapter next week. I'm really curious to see what lowborn-SH will do. I hope he's less of a douchebag.
