Haechi 35-36: So I guess we’ve reached the “noble idiocy leads to angsty break-up” stage of the drama, which I didn’t know was possible considering this is a sageuk and the “break-up” isn’t even between an established couple. But, then again, now Yeo Ji’s role in this story finally makes sense to me. Yeo Ji’s role in Haechi is essentially what Guinevere’s role in Merlin was: the “official” love interest that masked the true love-line because it was between two men. Like, literally, Yeo Ji’s only purpose in the show is to debunk the rumors that Lee Geum is gay. Her absence in the climax proved how she isn’t needed anywhere. Yet the director loves peppering each episode with Lee Geum/Moon Soo insinuations. I suspect Yeo Ji is going to end up being tragically killed off soon…
