Don't be surprised by the mother, that's how rich people are even irl. Marriage is just a transactional business for them and for their lineage to carry on the power, wealth and status. And I'm not saying this is wrong. I think it's kind of practical lol to have the comfort and financial security for generations down.

Just finished chap 224 and I must say this chapter had the most impact on me. Hak is heavily injured yet he continued to fight and brought the medicine for his fucking majesty. You see soo won this is the friend you were ready to sacrifice and kill!! Shit it hurts so much I'm crying my eyes out.

Honestly, this is what makes this such a rare gem. They all feel so real, their relationships are complex, and the background is solid as well as the pacing. It’s one of the few stories I've read where I genuinely think I’m not allowed to have an opinion on some things (in this case, I mean Soo-won, Hak, Yona relationship) because I feel as if I’m intruding. The only thing I can do is hope for some form of resolution, but whatever happens in the end isn’t something I’m allowed to feel anger or happiness for, since it isn’t my right to enact justice.
No actions are justified, simply stated as fact, not presented as an excuse for someone’s behavior. I think that way of presenting this, is a rare perspective give from storytellers and authors, who can become excessively biased when it comes to morality or even their own characters. Truly, Kusanagi has created something incredible here, something deserving of more than simple praise.
I knew it! That new kid had something to do with yama and also yama in casual clothes
