A sheep doesn't survive surrounded by wolves,I think that the only reason that makes what he has done right is just the fact that this is historical, he is acting as how the important figures acted, I don't really know a lot about china or Asian history, but the few things I know and most of people know doesn't make it look like a really wonderful place...
We are going to do something, you tell how was he supposed to act and if I can I will refute why it wouldn't be a good idea, I ngl, I really think that he is missing a heart to, but really it's not like I'm the most emotional person either, so maybe my way of thinking just understands why he did those things, you tell me how he was supposed to make a poor and for her family useless person ascend into power, this with her father santa claus who was a dickhead, her brother the sadistic bully who had his best dog ready to defend him (bodyguard) , her princess who is a snake , the country who doesn't considered her worthy of being an empress, the maids who at the beginning of the story were treating her like trash, old grandma who is princess sister ally , should I continue...
Yes it's true the author never changed his character, I just thinking that changing his character is just destroying his character and his personality, to be honest he might need some heart, but he is nearly a perfectly made character, very human himself, he has his struggles, his worries, he can even be anxious or stressed by his own let's call it for the moment cowardice".
I understand why she is mad to him (she hasn't really analyze everything), what I don't understand is why she hasn't realize she really is a hypocrite, she can't be the bad character, but she needs a bad character who do everything just for her to criticize him.
Imagine you are in school, there are 2 people doing a project ( a team of two) , one is doing all the work (he at least understand what they are supposed to do) with the help of a paid teacher (not morally correct, I just said to represent Dowun heartless actions), and the other person doesn't do anything, firstly because that person isn't qualified enough to help the team.
They give the project to the teacher, the teacher put them a 10, the person who actually did something has been work as a mad dog and anxious and nervous about the limit dates, calendar..., meanwhile the person who didn't do nothing has been having an easy time.
Well now imagine that person who not only doesn't do anything, but she talks to her/his friends about how you have been paying a teacher for help and how unmoral his actions were, she/he also said he is a bad person, but hey, she doesn't reject the 10, she gladly accepts the fact that his partner has been doing all the stuff and has lost life spam with all the accumulated stress.
This is why I can't support princess right now, she is hiding the stick meanwhile Dowun is doing everything, she is the good cop and he is the bad cop.
However I must say brother actions are justifiable, he really is the only one I can understand the hate he has with Dowun (partially I understand it at least...), what I can't understand is why he doesn't hate princess, she could have save him too if she stopped Dowun when he was about to talk to emperor and ask for him to punish his brother, but she is just a coward and now she has the guts to criticize Dowun.
She is one of the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen in any movie,book or whatever, she is a big big hypocrite, I can understand some people defending some character, but princess, as she is now, I can't .
1)She accepted to be empress => criticize Dowun for making her empress in such a way
2)She "was madly in love with Dowun" => was always thinking about bodyguard, just because he saved her once.
3)She didn't like how Dowun treated her brother => still didn't stop Dowun, it was something that helped her, so she shut up but years later she is still remembering it as if she was the victim, well all this was done for and only for her, and neither she refused any of the times dowun did something, why? , because it benefits her and deep inside she knows it and has the guts to criticize him as if she was some kind of saint, at least he acted, seriously she is a spineless coward.
4)She is always aggressive with Dowun => while he is generally quite calm with her, why does she, not brother, not bodyguard, why DOES SHE HATE HIM, what has he done so badly to her to make her hate him, he has always helped her, I don't care if it was for the clan ( we still don't know if this is a lie, Dowun I think has been lying all the time...), it is a fact that EVERYTHING DOWUN HAS DONE HAS BENEFIT HER, EVERYTHING.
5)It's not his goal, it is their goal, they agreed they had a common objective, if it's his goal we can agree then that princess is like a parasite sucking the blood and hard work of Dowun..., can we agree then... if it was his goal, Dowun should be the solely emperor and princess should be just a normal person...that way people who worked and did everything are the only ones who receive all the prizes..., I mean I think that would be fair and good heart.
