Ikr, he's the literally the best dude throughout the story. Both hamil and biseol just wants yeon for themselves. It just so happens that biseol outgrew the angst in the last few chaps. But my king doha was so patient, supportive, and selfless when it came to yeon. If yeon won't have him, then I want him for myself (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Biseol is "ok" (he sees no other choice, as he respect her wishes over all) with Doha being there around Jeok-Yeon too. One day he just tells Doha that the empress can hold several men, not only him (chapter 112 or 115 I think). But Doha is the one who wants her for himself. He stalks them all the time when they leave the palace and he stubbornly wanted to be her consort. At first she said "not yet", but finally it seems she made him her consort. Then he wanted to participate in the next trials to become emperor (?!) I don't see Doha selfless at all!
the concept of thinking doha is not selfless is so crazy to me but I guess we all perceive things differently
yes I get what you mean like of course doha also wants her for himself he literally loves her but he wasn't going to force her into anything we saw throughout the story how doha's feelings were so selfless,regardless of whether he becomes the empress or jeokyeon becomes one he wanted the best for her even if he cannot stand by her side, he was willing to let go if it means she is happy AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I LOVE HOW THE STORY PORTRAYED DOHA'S LOVE AS JUST LOVE!! HE LOVES HER WHEN HE THOUGHT SHE WAS A MAN AND STILL LOVES HER AS HER TRUE SELF and I also think it's so precious how he at some point wished she wouldn't be a woman for what she went through would've been soo hard and terrifying
I get your point, but I don't agree :/ .
My "problem" is that I don't find him credible. Biseol does the same. He was even elated to die if doing that could keep hiden the secret of Jeok-Yeon. What could be more selfless than that? And I also think that he wouldn't mind if she was a "he" in order to love her, but as a half demon he found out her secret since they first meet.
Another thing "problematic" for me was, why does Doha reject her in such a CRUEL way when she goes to meet him at the exit of the prison?... Was that really necesary?... The way he talks to Raek-Bang before leaving, was very cruel too!!... How could he enter the Winter Castle to see her before leaving while Biseol was always standing guard outside? Did they have a conversation and Biseol allow him to enter? Wasn't he there for some reason while his master was sleeping? (that would be not credible the way that character is written). How could that moment happen is something that the author doesn't explains...
And then in his travel, "miraculously", he finds someone that tells him a love story and suddenly he's in a rush to come back. And incredibly when he meets again with Jeok-Yeon, instead of she being angry, at least at the start, no, she was just waiting at the balcony to throw herself into his arms...(wtf?) Pfff! Thats not the strong woman from the start who only felt rage and regret in an intense way. Suddenly... no angry reaction at all???... For me was quite desapointing.
Of course during those final chapters Biseol was in "quarentine", I guess due the evident intention of the author of leaving him in the background and make Doha a more credible romantic option.
I know we wont agree. Just to explain my point of view. And I'm gratefull anyway for the exchange of points of views! (⌒▽⌒)
I really love this manhwa, thats why the things that seems to me inconsistent or rushed makes me feel sad and frustrated.
Give me please your point of view about how Doha and Jeok-Yeon behaves after he leaves her that way and when he returns. Does their behavior make sense????
I can't believe there are actually people who don't prefer doha
