but he is the kind of person that would want to know If King Il was a god king, then the sacrifice (the pain that Soo Won had to suffer due to the death of his father, his father´s death) would have been worth it. His father instilled into his son the care for his country, early on.

Fair. It's truly Kouka above everything for him. I imagine we'll find out his thoughts on this one day.

Because this solution was his vain hope? Therefore he did not tell Hak anything or even the guards...the chance was so thin...

In other words, you think Su-Won viewed marriage to Yona as a last-minute (and legitimate) alternative to murder that he half-heartedly believed in, ultimately giving up after Il rejected it?

Who knows. Even so, he was considering murder as the other alternative. And if the chance was so slim, giving that hairpin was not a sound choice imo.

He did say that at one point, he actually didn't mind marrying just any random woman. In Lili's case, it's not necessary because relations with her tribe are good. But what did he imply by this? That he would have considered a marriage if relations were strained? Had he been in such a situation before?

So going along with your theory, he theoretically would have been open to the option as long as he had the throne.

So it's one possibility, but here's another angle to consider: what if Su-Won genuinely believed that Hak and Yona were engaged the whole time and therefore never considered convincing Il?

Because while Yona did confess her feelings to Su-Won and Hak supported the idea of their marriage, unless I am mistaken, Yona never explicitly told him that her "engagement" with Hak was off the table. We also never see Hak clarify this misunderstanding with Su-Won. Perhaps Su-Won thought Il wanted Hak to become the next king by marrying Yona all along. I wonder how much it factored into his decisions.

And speaking of which, I'm actually curious about what Su-Won thinks now regarding Hak and Yona's relationship. It's not clear, but just imagine if he believes they have been engaged throughout the entire series because neither Yona or Hak clarified the situation properly to him! That'd actually be quite funny.

Ever since Su-Won made the decision to make Yona the queen and Yona heard of it from Hak instead of him, I've been quite curious about what they'll say to one another when they finally meet face to face again. I don't know, I feel like that encounter just going to be different from all the others, intense. Because both have acknowledged her as his equal, just not directly to one another yet.

First there’s a political side. Whether Yona wants the throne, whether Su-Won really wants to pass it down. There is also the emotional side.

Yona remained calm (though disgusted) when she commented that Su-Won was selfish, but that was still from a distance. Which is why I can't shake the thought that Yona could be absolutely livid if Su-Won actually manages to enter the chalice (especially if it's with some intention to "save" Yona and "sacrifice" himself like some fear).

If it happens, can we get a scene where she slaps his face? Tells him to snap the fuck out of it? Stop making all these selfish decisions for her? To not put her on a pedestal and be so suicidal all of a sudden? That she's not a damsel in distress who needs saving, that she'll find a way to make the dragon gods to understand? Because such a scene will actually be a good subversion of expectations. Kusanagi has done it before, so this would be a great opportunity.

I mean Yona's already said it in her mind. "Don't you dare die as you please. Rely on those around you." She even said it to Hyu-ri. She just has to actually say those words to Su-Won himself.

Yona did disappoint me in the recent chapter because she became quite literally a damsel in distress (how else are we supposed to describe her in that scene), but a hypothetical scene like this would make up for it. It would return her agency. And honestly I've been dying to see a scene where Yona just lets all the resentment out instead of constantly suppressing it for the country or because she wants to be the better person. The dragon gods said she was also selfish, so let's see that side show a bit more.

I'm trying to start a movement here

[ID: The first 3 images are edited versions of the "Let's take ibuprofen together" meme. The captions now say "Let's read shoujo together". They each show a person holding their hand out to the viewer; a character from the series Benigyokuzui, Mob from Mob Psycho 100, and Jerma. / end ID]

One thing about shoujo is that if you want to get into it now you have to understand that lately there hasnt been nearly as many shoujo animes in production as there are shounen, so to truly appreciate this type of anime you're gonna have to watch older stuff with animation that isn't as impressive or that doesn't look like what you expect from nowadays anime, but is still absolutely stunning in its own way. New shoujo anime are coming out a lot more these past two years, with older anime even getting new adaptations, but we went through a very dry period, and now we gotta make sure the new shoujo coming out can become popular enough that more and more stuff gets adapted
