My Country: The New Age Episode 9

Sunho's true self and WDH's best acting performance

This ep had the most impact on me both times I watched it.In historicals the 2nd lead would be the enemy, shallow, power hungry and hates the ml for no reason But sunho was always different. He always had his friend's best interests even though he "seemed" to make choices that hurt him When one who's not the ml or the fl, looks at it he never had ill intentions, he just always chose the option that kept them alive In this ep, when he tried to tell yunho that they're running away and she accidentally hurt his arm, he never even got angry. Like not even as reflex. He just grabbed her hand warmly, smiled and said he was okAnd the 2nd scene was when he found out hwi was still alive. That acting was phenomenal. It was pain, relief, and so much guilt. After that he fully accepts betraying his dad, he thinks he can save them all and be freeWhen he sees hwi is hurt he chooses to stay back and fight off the enemy. Hwi was hurt but only him and mostly his girlfriend and her bodyguard are to blame..She didn't even try to save yunho or even ask her skilled bodyguard to run and help the kid. She just stood there while she could obviously see hwi was hurtAnd later in next ep as I remember she blames sunho :/
