AfO’s ’transparency’ sure didn’t last very long did it. I’m liking how threatening he’s feeling. Not just his power, but his evil genius as well. Actually mainly the latter. Nagant is likely to die after telling them what she knows and some nice parting words, but I’m kind of hoping she pulls...

Surprised? Never said I was surprised. And thinking that AFO and the heroes side were the ever two options available is overly simplistic thinking. As I have been saying it was never just 2 options. She was once a hero not an axe crazy psychopath like moonfish or muscular. Therefore we are...

Well neither are the correct choice, that’s the problem. It’s not a either or scenario. It’s about finding some kind of middle ground to improve hero society (not turn it into a utopia since that’s impossible). The HPSC had too much of a free hand on elimating threats, and AfO the...

AFO is not transparent. He was the spider in the center of the web pulling a million strings. He had his finger in everyone’s pie without them even knowing. His touch led to chaos and innumerable lives lost. He was a master manipulator. The very epitome of deception. When he was on the loose...

Well I like stories that focus on deep societal issues as well. There are many things that can be approved on this series. I‘m partial to it, but I do like the interesting themes it addresses.

Transparency is key but there is often also a need for secrecy. The reason why secret operations need to happen is they will tip off the target if the plan was released to the public. A plan for safe apprehension should be on the table first, and another in case lethal action needs to be taken...

For the most part yes, however scenarios come up where the options are either a rock or a hard place. That’s what I say about living in a dream world to those who think the trolley problem doesn’t exist in real life. It does. Apprehending should always come first but if you believe there is...

Yes and sometimes there are cases where the only way to stop a would-be attack is to kill them before it happens. The intelligence should be as accurate as possible but it does happen. It should be a last resort but still on the table. HPSC went too far with this and exploited their license to kill.

Agreed with everything and even mentioned that myself. But that wasn’t my point. My point was that HSPC should be condemned for their actions, but Intelligence agencies in general still need to exist, and sometimes hard choices need to be made. They must also not fall for a slippery slope like...

Except that I wasn’t defending the HPSC actions. I was condemning them. And my general terrorism comparison for why intelligence agencies exist is a fine example of assessing threats and stopping them before they happen. Terrorism is one of the most basic examples of stopping ‘bad people from...

Apparently, you didn’t read my whole post.

About the HPSC’s actions, it looks like they were largely in the wrong on their preemptive strikes on would-be terrorists. As it did look like many times they could still be arrested. Killing them immediately is...well overkill in many scenarios. But I see a lot of naivety in people thinking...

Hmmm. I’m pretty sure Minsoo said he started being his physician when Soo-won ascended the thrown. Also remember Soo-won knew what he had before he killed Il. With his statements of ‘not enough time’ etc. the illness probably was a huge contribution to his decision to carry out the coupe in the...

both Joo-doh and Kyesook having no clue about the illness felt contrived . Joo-doh sure, but Kyesook too, Really? @Trjpyo What makes you think it isn’t just a regular illness inherited from his mother, not something supernaturally afflicted? Is it just from the flashback of Il not letting him...

You guys said everything I was to, basically. I despise this ‘Soo-won is sick, therefore easy forgiveness’ route. That is not to say I did not expect a fatal illness of his to pop up, as the hints have been pretty good about it, but if it was to happen, I was hoping it would be a later card to...
