In an action drama, he has very little “action.” Most of his acting is via face, especially the eyes, and voice. A sore point between father and son is that the son clearly heard his father and did what needed to be done, and his father is refusing to acknowledge that relationship so that his hands keep looking clean.If I look at it with a big enough squint and skew, it could be viewed as a cold blooded training program for someone to be a great king.I'm not sure if it was mentioned in this drama or not but Poeun and Taejo were close friends for a long time so he took it personal and resented Bang-won for not only killing a loyal subject of Goryeo but his friend.If we go by merits Bang-won was the most deserving but the crown prince selection would have gone to the oldest.This also opened a way for Bang-won to fight for the throne since the birth order didn't matter to their father.This is cold blooded training for a great king or maybe he is afraid that Bang-won would be a better king.Holy cow! Atleast he will give it some thought.The scene of Bang-won with his father was so heartbreaking. After he’s gone, Lord Nam orders his men to get Hwi alone and kill him, but when they try, Hwi’s men jump out of hiding to dispatch the assassins. A truly gorgeous drama.

Mainly, Hwi's repeated threats of "I will destroy the world that you built" is getting tiring, and Sun-ho's logic of "I will let him have what he wants first, and then destroy it" baffles me. True to his word not to watch what’s coming, King Taejo leaves the capital to hole up in a nearby temple.

The two of them look like dead men walking.On a more serious note, Hwi's focus/goal was never to change the system or anything to better the country. Yes, they have a terribly painful history, and I think that they’re too damaged to etruly repair their friendship. His Liaodong brothers + Hee Jae could barely persuade him to reconsider.I think Bang-won is not that much different from his own father. It's a shame as the cast is so strong and I've especially enjoyed watching the two young male leads and Jang Hyuk in their respective roles.This is a well known part of their history so they probably didn't think to add commentaries for us non Koreans.

It seems like so long ago that he said, “I just want to live one day in peace.”We’ve gotten the bad news from Moon-bok and the physician to whom Sun-ho brought Hwi that the medicine he’s taking to combat the snake venom is slowly killing him. I just know that Lord Nam needs to die, and I’d hate to see their revenge fail because they couldn’t agree on what it should look like or who gets to strike the final blow.I'm waiting for them to kill each other already. History will be decided on one small decision from the king, and once he makes it, the future of the country is set in stone. I had gotten the impression that Taejo was trying to make the case go away quickly so no one could see that there was more to it than met the eye.Such a scenario would draw together some of the main threads, and would make Ihwaru more integral to the plot. Please note the change of address. His henchman reminds him that they still haven’t won over the king’s step-nephew, Wanwon Buwongun. Bang-won arrives at the temple, and King Taejo tells him that he’s worried about Lord Nam’s recent actions. And it's also because the one who's not on the throne will eventually harbor the ambition to be on the throne. He claims it’s impossible, but Hwi tells him to Lord Nam asks how Hwi’s feeling with the viper venom still poisoning his system, and Hwi just says he’s used to it by now.

Bang-won wants Bang-gan to attend the blood ceremony on behalf of the older princes, to incite Lord Nam to attack first and provide them justification to kill him.
Meanwhile, Sun-ho mopes in opium dens and gibangs. Or is he just being his random self?Bang-gan is probably trying to recruit him but he is also aware that Hwi is his brother's man.I don't think he has a plan yet. It just hit me that Yi Seong-gye's MO of using innuendo to make his wishes known (as in ordering the hit on Po-eun) may actually be at the bottom of what happened to Seo Geom. The fake weapons should have confirmed it.Seo Geom probably taught all of Taejo's oldest sons how to fight since they all grew up at the border where he served with their father as a general or they must have been familiar with his swordsmanship style. He attacks, and Hwi defends himself with only his scabbard.
Exile outside the country for political dissenters wasn't really an option because they could just sneak back in. Bang-won guesses that Hwi is planning to leave (in other words, die) once he accomplishes his goal, and he asks Hwi, on that day, to drink with him first.While still on Ihwaru grounds, the venom overcomes Hwi and he stumbles. I could have said the same about Hwi but he still shows some emotions. Si certains étaient chargés de proclamer une nouvelle ère à la fin de la dynastie Goryeo, le commun des mortels était condamné à prendre tous les risques..
