  2. @sia3I found your explanation really good. But I'm gonna give it a try.

    "Someone I know was asked a similar question. And because the question was so heavy that, he had to give up his life to answer it. I know now… that he was wrong" 

    I actually have trouble fully understanding CY's thoughts behind this statement as well. That's why I really look forward to learn more about his thoughts from the writer in the book, whenever the volume with this scene will be released or translated. lol
    The old captain didn't just die saving the girl, he also died because of the impossible question the king asked him and what it implies.
    "I heard people in Goryeo trust the Red Moon army more than their king. People rely on Red Moon more than they do on their king. So is the Red Moon army the one that protects the people, not the king?"
    The king is basically asking the same question: are you the king? do you want to be king when you fulfill my duties better than me?
    Depending on who is asking, it becomes a pretty impossible question due to the consequences. The previous king himself is asking one of his subjects, so I think it's unlikely that he actually believes the old captain when he denies. I also don't believe that the king called them to the palace for a good reason, I suspect he always planned to get ride of them and  he only wanted to play a bit and humiliate them before.  The loyalty of the old captain doesn't matter because the trust between a king and his subject is missing. As CY explains to Gongmin in the beginning, Goryeo had so many kings that the people themselves don't care anymore meaning the king can be replaced if the ones who hold power (Yuan, Gi Chul) choose to do it. The king sees the old captain as a threat because the people believed in him, meaning he fears the captain could plan a revolt and replace him, he doesn't trust him to stay loyal. Probably, because he knows that he doesn't treat his subjects well to deserve loyalty. You could also speculate that the king tried to get ride of them by sending out false orders. When CY talks about the Red Moon army, he said that he doesn't know why they started to receive orders which were traps.
    So that's why the question is so heavy because it depends on trust, loyalty and who is asking the question.
    Gongmin giving CY the approval to answer Gi Chul's question already shows the difference between him and the previous king. He proves that he trusts CY and doesn't ask CY the question himself.
    Now the really difficult part is why CY thinks that the old captain was wrong. I disagree with CY because I think the old captain did his best in this impossible situation, after all, he managed to save the rest of his army from getting killed by having them swear to protect the king. 
    I think CY could refer to the fact that the old captain didn't really answer the question truthfully. Because due to the failure of the previous king to trust his subjects and the fact that he didn't deserve the loyalty of the old captain, maybe CY wanted the captain to defy the king, no matter the consequences. I don't really know what CY wanted him to do instead, they either would have been killed on the spot, thrown in jail or died fighting. Or maybe they would have been able to escape somehow...So I'm really curious about what CY was thinking. But I'm not a Korean warrior myself, so it's a bit difficult to understand what exactly CY means with this. lol
    In comparison to the old captain, CY really thought about the question because Gi Chul is not the only one who asks. In one of the previous episodes, when CY tries to recruit people for Gongmin, he is asked why he choose to follow this particular king and not another. And he answers that this king knows shame and he wants to protect that. Also when they accuse him of grabbing on to the ankles of the king, he doesn't run away from the question but simply tries to find a solution with the king, because it doesn't matter who asks this question as long as the king trusts him and CY believes that he is worthy of protection. Both parts are important. The previous king proved that he didn't deserve the loyalty and faith of his people by treating his subjects without any respect and by only thinking about his pleasure and not the protection of his people. So maybe CY is just saying that the old captain was wrong for staying loyal when the king didn't even trust him.

    I love your suggestions for the female lead. But sadly HJW is pretty much impossible because her current drama won't end until the end of April.   :o3I love her ads with Sukki and she would make a great couple with him. But I'm pretty confident that the director and writer will manage to cast somebody who is a great actress and well-known, the question is just who? 
    I wouldn't mind Kang Sora as female lead but her role sounds more like second lead to me. And visually she could make a really attractive and interesting couple with Park HaeJin. For k-dramas, love triangle could also mean that KSR's character is in love with Sukki's and PHJ's is in love with KSR's character. I imagine Sukki's character would already be enough confused with being in love with a girl from North Korea and the South Korean girl who looks like her...I would worry for him if he had feelings for KSR's character as well. lol

    said: Are we suppose to say we love Heirs just because this is a Faith thread? I'm not required to love all of LMH's work and unfortunately I didn't love him in his last drama. We said what drama we loved at the moment and that drama is YWCFTS and we didn't care for Heirs, not everyone shares our opinions but we are allowed to say them without feeling like we're being criticized for it. If you want to praise Heirs then go ahead, but please don't expect everyone to agree with that. 

  6. Maybe I should stalk hitoritabi's tumblr then lol...I find the waiting so frustrating, there is still nothing much about BY noona's new drama and LJS is still not officially confirmed. I feel like a whiny brat but I want confirmations!They can worry about the writing later, I just want to know that Suki is in the drama and that PMY or somebody else is the first female lead and not KSR...
