As much as I like Yon-hi as a character, I do find it's unfortunate that she's afflicted by "I can fix him disease" as well as her crimson dragon sickness. I just don't get what everyone in this series liked about the genocidal maniac that was Yu-hon. Like, I legitimately do not understand why they are fine with him just killing without any motive hundreds of people. The backstory just, like, real solidified that he shouldn't have been king, that King Il was 100% justified in killing him. Like, on a thematic level, it's the tragedy of living for yourself and not for others, of not having a support group, and raising a kid to live the same lifestyle. But on a personal level, Yu-hon was a nightmare and Yon-hi was fine with it until she couldn't turn a blind eye anymore.
