I don't get why some people are shitting on Hak so much for losing, when:
1) Hyoori has been established as on par if not stronger than Hak before, by Hak himself
2) Hak is in a severe power (like, position power not physical power) disadvantage in the castle grounds. Even if he wins, then what? Hyoori wouldn't go down without a fierce fight, and it would attract lots of attention too, which would put him in a pretty sticky situation.
So maybe he judged that it would be easier to just get captured. Tbh I'm not even sure if Hyoori has the authority to kill immediately, so maybe he was captured for further questioning instead of being killed immediately.
Yes, Hak's power is significantly reduced within the castle's grounds. Well, the whole HHB's range of movement too. And tbh, I don't think that's a necessarily bad thing. They've been trying to find more wiggle room (Yona, especially) and I think that's an interesting thing on its own. Well of course this is all just my own opinion, I just thought to give a few thoughts abt the current arc and some of the comments I've found.
