Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
The King Loves / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: Won's family. Won's father, King: He dislikes Won's mother, Yuan Queen (Mongolian), and Won, half-Yuan. He looks for a way to make Won lose the position as a crown prince. He badmouths Won and favors his relatives (Jeon and Rin, pure Goryeo royal blood) in front of the Queen. He enjoys Won being ridiculed. Won's mother, Queen: She threw former Queen and her son out of the palace. To protect Won's crown prince position, if she has to, she's willing to physically hurt Won. Also, she dislikes Won's only friend, Rin, thinking that Rin is also plotting to put Won in danger (though this one is somewhat justified in the fact that Rin's older brother, Jeon, is plotting to become the crown prince). Won: When he's mad, he become violent and attacks someone who he knows is in a lower position than him. He enthusiastically mentioned that since San makes him laugh, he should make a huge birdcage for her in a palace and put her in there to make him laugh every day. Also, he acts as if he plays around all days, so that King won't feel suspicious or threatened by him. And he avoids meeting the Queen because he doesn't feel easy around her. | |

Those Two Guys: Won's bodyguards, Jin Gwan and Jang Ui. They're rarely seen apart and they follow Won almost everywhere. The two bumbling criminals who repeatedly cause trouble for the protagonists are a villainous example. | |

Mistaken for Betrayal | |
The King Loves / int_416af2d8 | comment |
Mistaken for Betrayal: Happens twice in rapid succession. An assassin tries to kill the king with one of Won's arrows. The king assumes Won was trying to kill him. Rin, who saw what happened, decides to shoot at Won to prove he's also being targeted and so he can't be the assassin. Won didn't see the attack on his father, so from his perspective his best friend attacked him for no reason. | |
