I couldn't agree with you more. I was thinking similar like maybe king ask Soo won to kill him for kingdome sake. But I want to believe that he kill King because of that revenge and wanted to be a ruler without any reason behind that, it'd be more interesting, this motive like playing tragic hero is using all the time in mangas so at least this time I want something different
I get your point ^_^! Although for me like I said whatever his reasons are, I don't approve of his method. Yona's pain was too much, imagine your father dying in the hands of someone you love. And there's Hak, he was ready to give up Yona, he was willing to spend his entire life supporting Soo Won. His loyalty was on a different level, only to be betrayed like that?
But anyway, let's wait and see. For now, I just don't want anything to happen to my baby dragons and Yoon. They are so precious!
This is what happen when you have a likable antagonist. Well, I don't particularly hate Soo Won, yeah he must have a reason for killing the king and yes the king may have an evil side, we don't know. But is it worth all the suffering and betrayal Yona and Hak must have felt? For the sake of the kingdom and people? I mean c'mon we're talking about Yona and Hak here, they are not narrow-minded people, is it really that hard to tell them what's the problem with the kingdom and what's wrong with the king? It's all about trust. Maybe Soo Won wants to protect Yona or the kingdom, but the fact that he killed the king without telling Yona why he had to do that and everything that he has done afterwards, I can't say I condone that. I think whatever the reason that will be revealed in the future, Soo Won messed up, no matter how just and rightful his intentions are, they can never go back, even if Yona and Hak forgive him, it will never be the same again. I assume Soo Won is prepared for that. He played the bad guy when there are really bad guys out there. Well, maybe he needed to be. I can't blame people loving his character, though. He's interesting after all, a real mystery like is-he-a-friend-or-a-foe thing and people love the mystery and yeah, tragic heroes like him.
But my heart really goes to Yona and Hak. And the dragons. And Yoon! So there. ^_^!
