Death of the Woodalchi and Choi Young

@farstrep, I think it’s because Eun Soo is at the root of Choi Young’s inner conflict. It’s hardly her fault and it’s obvious that Young would never blame her (only himself), but in the end she is the reason why he couldn’t be with the Wudalchi when they fell. For Gongmin to be the one to whom Young talked to, particularly since he is one of the people that Young believes he should be sorry to because he failed to protect him, is more meaningful.

Faith Recap: Episode 21

We did a second rewatch + recap after Faith finished airing and the biggest regrets I had was not saving the recaps written by the fellow Soompi Faithlings. The only one I have is episode 21 where Daejang proposes to Eun Soo in the most Daejang’s style. Choi Young is a man with few words and he’s definitely not one who could spout cheesy, cringy lines and that makes his proposal ever more so precious and sincere. Writer Song Ji Na mentioned in her Q&A that she spent all night thinking of the most suitable proposal lines for Choi Young and Song Ji Na is not Song Ji Na for no reason. The proposal suited to Daejang to a tee.

Episode 19 Discussion: Gongmin and Choi Young

It’s touching how Gongmin’s initial anger at Son Yoo’s order for him to attend a meeting with the officials was superseded by his concern for Choi Young and Eun Soo when he hears of Son Yoo’s demand – to give up the Eui Seon to placate Yuan. Gongmin’s bromance with Young has been much discussed and it is obvious that a part of his concern for Eun Soo is because he knows how much Young values her, but I’d like to think that Gongmin had also come to care for Eun Soo despite their limited interaction.

Son Yoo

I always did wonder why on earth they bothered to show Son Yoo holding the pocket watch if they weren’t going to discuss it. I guess it was another one of those things that they originally intended to expand upon but had no time – in this case, that it’s possible Eun Soo was not the only time traveller, but Son Yoo was also one as well. Whether he was a time traveller or not, Son Yoo is an eternal puzzle to me. From the beginning he had spoken of his divided loyalties between Goryeo and Yuan and genuinely seemed to hope that Gongmin would avoid Goryeo bloodshed and a subsequent takeover by ceding to Yuan’s demands. His hesitation over deciding between Gongmin and Deok Heung further suggested that he still felt ties to Goryeo… and yet in Episode 22 he stated to Ki Chul that he had long since lost faith in Goryeo as a nation and now acted on behalf of Yuan’s best interests. He also spoke threateningly of “taming” Gongmin by removing Choi Young, thereby ridding Yuan of its Goryeo threat.
