Yah exactly! It's valid to hate Hee-ryang. He admitted himself in the flashback that he's done vile deeds and we've witnessed them first hand. But it shows that he wasn't just a faceless soldier on the periphery who rose up the ranks by carrying out the actions of a king he didn't know. The future king himself plucked him from obscurity and handed him power. Hee-ryang doesn't even have family loyalties to contend with that might interfere with that tie. The king is his family, in that sense. I hope we learn more about their relationship.
how will revenge make sense if you only see the story of one character involved? If the manhwa were like this it would be a lazy narrative. this narrative isn't Kill Bill where Bill is just a horrible sociopath, this character obviously has more layers, but some people seems to want to ignore it because they already decided he's a one sided villain. this is sad to see as a reader and writer
LOL. revenge makes perfect sense bc bro is a mass murderer who killed the mc’s family. as if he isn’t a mass murderer just bc he’s a person with “layers” like the rest of us. as if him dying would suddenly remove all depth to his story, or his story altogether. this logic is just flawed and based on weak assumptions.
you are making assumptions and closing off the possibilities of the narrative. If this ML really had orders to kill the MC's family, will the MC's revenge be completely satisfactory if he only kills the mastermind's weapon? and you won't know any depth if you choose to ignore ML's past and motivations. your argument is flawed
i’m pretty sure the current plan is already to not stop with the killer? besides it would still be plenty satisfactory bc he literally watched him kill his family lol. that also doesnt mean his back story shouldn’t exist. i just personally dont give a fuck bc it doesn’t change anything for me. i never made assumptions lol. and every decision made in writing closes off the possibility of other narratives. that’s what happens when you make a decision. this should be common sense.

i really don’t care about this piece of shit’s sob story i just want mc to get his revenge
