twdr episode 19: i've fallen and i can't get up
All the father-son feels I just - I can't. I think I died every single time Sejong tries to put his dead son's hand on his face and it just keeps falling limply to the ground. All the while he's just smiling at his son because he's in denial and everything hurts. And then later, he's cackling like a madman because the prince died for his cause, a cause that he thinks was made for the wrong reasons. Worse, somewhere out there that fucking bastard Jeong Ki-joon justifies to himself why he had to kill the prince with such nonsense like "it'll distract the king from opposing me."
HAHAHAHAHAHA asshole. You killed a boy just to distract someone? And afterwards you're like it hurts doesn't it? I've stopped viewing the Milbon as a staunchly fundamentalist (and elitist) faction and started seeing them as terrorists ever since that stunt with the Sungkyunkwan student, but this is a new low. Bonwon, I no longer appreciate your existence, and your actions are beyond any sort of justification. You're nothing but a murderer. Diaf.
I know Milbon and Jeong Ki-joon are fictional (at least I think they are), but the very thought that they failed to stop the spread of Sejong's alphabet gives me great satisfaction. Haha, suck it losers.
On a more rational (less emotional) note, that debate between Sejong and that bastard Jeong Ki-joon on the rock was awesome. I loved how they talked in a (pretty much) civilized manner, and how they were able to make the other doubt themselves. I loved how Sejong's reasoning was able to make Jeong Ki-joon think - even for just a few hours - that the new commoner-friendly letters might be a good idea after all. Of course, all goes to shit once the psycho discovers Buddhist text translated in hangul, but his moment of self-doubt was wonderful while it lasted.
