Review:
I absolutely loved learning more about Su-Won's parents, and Yona's mother.
After learning everything that happened. The hows and whys, I don't understand why or how anyone could think that Yu-hon would have been the better King. I think at the time they were just so scared of other nations invading they wanted a general as their King, not taking into consideration that he would have been a tyrant. He was overprotective and possessive of his wife. He harmed everybody who he viewed as a "threat" to her when he should have just trusted her. He cut her off from her family, she had no friends. And when she did make one in Yona's mother and found out who she was before she married Il, he had her killed. He should have spent his days with her once she became ill with her, rather than cutting her off from more people.
While I understand So-Won's perspective, I don't agree with his methods. He could have dealt with King Il without harming Yona the way he did. Granted, it brought her to the Four Dragons, it was still wrong and still a betrayal. I am still unsure what his final goals are, especially since he has the same illness that his mother does.
Loved the ending though. Yona going into that meeting and handing all those diplomats their asses. She will be a great Queen, and I really hope Hak is her King... that would make my heart so happy.
