#I was angry from Hwi but I couldn't hate Namjeon

Seon-ho and Namjeon relationship (2)

About Namjeon: Even if I can talk about Seon-ho's various dimensions and complexities, writing about Namjeon is very difficult. Well, I don't know if it was common to have a bastard child back then, but Seon-ho is a mirror of his mistake and the death of his legitimate son makes everything worse (he loved his son and I didn't expect to see his feelings)That the only alive son and the continuator of his generation is bastard, and well, it's not Seon-ho's fault, but Namjeon blames him. (Well, he's a terrible father, at least he's acting enough of a jerk about it) Seon-ho's rise in power certainly benefits him a lot, but I see some concern, like when he offers Hwi a lot of money instead of that half of arrow and getting distance from Seon-ho. Also, every time Seon-ho threats him or stands in front of him, although he is surprised, it is as if he admired him as well (at such times, he pays more attention to what he says) when He orders to kill the people who crossed the river, he seems to have wait for Seon-ho until daylight and his decision to leaving Seon-ho and kill him is because he thought Seon-ho saw Hwi and got involved in his feelings. Otherwise, Seon-ho will fight and stay alive. Throwing a letter into the fire that contained Hwi's name doesn't seem to be for himself, but rather like concern for Seon-ho. I love the look of the two and the repetition of that scene several times when Seon-ho and the army go on that mission (to kill the Liaodong people), it's like a farewell from both of them, especially Namjeon. Also, when Seon-ho comes back and when he hugs him, well it isn't a warm fatherly hug, but I guess it isn't all about Namjeon's plot either. At the same time, he thanked Hwi for saving Seon-ho, and it isn't a pretense either. I love the scene where Seon-ho yells at him, Do Hwan's acting (again his sad and teary eyes) is masterpiece. But what is there is Namjeon's sudden rise in voice. It seems like some kind of disappointment, maybe for Seon-ho's mother or Seon-ho himself. He wants Seon-ho to forget about that case and to forget his dependence on his mother (he wanted to destroy his dependence and feelings, to train Seon-ho to be strong and ruthless to survive in the palace and politics) also when He jailed Yeon, he seems angry for Seon-ho (from Hwi) and I love that scene in the prison, the way he looks differently to Seon-ho and his feelings towards him when he sees him injured. He is angry that Seon-ho betrayed him and made Yeon run away, their looks when he talks about killing Seon-ho are interesting (especially Seon-ho's shock) Someone said wearing the shoes that Yeon gave Seon-ho Bode is implied by Namjeon to have taken all of Seon-ho's affiliations from him, and that's true. He managed to turn Seon-ho into a walking dead and they becomes enemies. (Maybe it's beyond Namjeon's expectation) I don't know if he admired Seon-ho from then on or not (apparently yes) but that scene when he tells Seon-ho that he never leaves his enemies alive and Seon-ho is his next enemy, I was holding my breath when Seon-ho tells him that he better hurry up because he is already Seon-ho enemy now, their acting was amazing. I think if he had more listened to Seon-ho, maybe he wouldn't have died that way. His death scene is really emotional, he was a devil character, but suddenly we see that he is struggling to return to his only son without paying attention to his surroundings, and he is crying and smiling. A warm smile without any sarcasm or villainy.He tells her how much he admires him, and on the other hand, Seon-ho's disbelieving look at him, as if he wants to come to him but he can't, destroys me every time. I also have to say that he hated Hwi and cared about Seon-ho like Sung-rok , which further proves to me that he didn't mean to abuse Seon-ho (although I never approve of his actions).I think his whole motivation is from This cruel treatment of Seon-ho made him stronger in the cruel world of politics, and he realized that Seon-ho hadn't lost his heart and admired him for that.
