My wandering thoughts and rambles on Mr. Sunshine ep. 9:
She said she trusted him but she also said next time she would be the one to open fire. Does she mean that because she saved him once thus she believed that he would return the favor, at least once? Is that the trust that she was referring to? Does that mean she only regarded his feeling as gratitude since the next they meet, she promise to kill him without any thought, hypothetically speaking? Does she think that his gratitude is what keeping her alive? Is that the kind of trust she is giving him? What is the point of trusting knowing he will never kill you but you are going to kill him thus? What is her reason for such trust? I am really gonna end up pulling my hair for such number of inconsistencies I am seeing in a leading character that I am hoping to relate to. She is badass and all just how I love it but having these kind of inconsistencies in between is making me roll my eyes. K, done with my ramblings. Moving on…
Thank you Tim for enlightening me with that trust issue I was questioning myself earlier. I agree with everything you said. The thing is, why would she have to kill him just for seeing her in that disguise? Because he accepted jobs mainly from the Japanese, hence a traitor to her eyes? Why trust him even as little as that? I prefer that she just expected him to act as he did due to that one favor and not trusting him at all. I hope that this will be the point for AS to reflect based on EC’s question whether the world that she is protecting will accommodate all classes, slave and baekjeong included. Since he specifically mentioned baekjeong I hope she can relate it back to DM. I know it may be a bit farfetched, but I am hoping she can learn to understand the suffering of these lower classes before making any judgment/come up with any conclusion, that at the end of the day those who resorted to the kind of lives that they live may have done so due to the circumstances of their pasts. I really want her to see that and embrace the pain of others outside her class, else she will never understand because being in her position will not give her such understanding unless she makes an effort for it. And something else caught my attention as well Tim. The recent statement from the guy caught by DM displayed animosity towards all foreign countries that are trying to get bits of Joseon. The righteous army are supposed to fight against all foreign powers currently in Joseon but why am I seeing thus far, American can be befriended, obviously because we have EC there, but the rest not so much? I would like to see how this unfolds in the next episodes. Thanks Tim! Really appreciate your views. Cheers!
