Now all people that were saying Il was an horrible person suddenly stopped. I have to say though that it's easy for me to say this since i don't have to wait for the next chapter, so people qould have of course doubts.
What angers me a little bit is how there were many comments describing Il as a madman fanatic. He was not a fanatic, he was a devout person. After killing his brother for revenge he was in atonement till his death and didn't even try to defend himself when Soo-Woon came before him.
I reckon that's a bias people have on religious people, quite frankly the truly ignorant/blind are those who think others are ignorant/blind.
Il was the lesser "evil". Under his reign the country stagnated but people didn't die meaningless deaths.
It's like that story from ancient Greece where there were frogs who had a lazy king. They were in peace but the other frogs didn't like much the lazy frog, so they asked Zeus for a new king and the god of Olympus, as devious as he was, gave the frogs a snake king who slaughtered them. This story was meant to explain how a peaceful yet incapable king is better than an active king but malicious in nature preferable. Or something alomg those lines, i'm using my memory here.
Sorry for the long comment! This series is really good!
