The age gap is surely wide. However, i believe when the king fell to jang geum he is in the last years of his…
"I think the king just fell to the jang geum beauty and her pure harth, as same as how he fell fo yeong seng" yeah probably, or maybe he was just lonely
"The nurse is part of court ladies, that is why they are a "king woman" too. Min jo plead a guilty to the king since he in love with court ladies, the crime that will lead to capital punishment." ah okay thanks for the reply
some quotes from the book silence that seem fitting to share (the book is set in japan during the 1640s):
“Christ did not die for the good and beautiful. It is easy enough to die for the good and beautiful; the hard thing is to die for the miserable and corrupt.” ― Shūsaku Endō, Silence
“If we did not believe that truth is universal, why should so many missionaries endure these hardships? It is precisely because truth is common to all countries and all times that we call it truth. If a true doctrine were not true alike in Portugal and Japan we could not call it true.” ― Shūsaku Endō, Silence
“I tell you the truth - for a long, long time these farmers have worked like horses and cattle; and like horses and cattle they have died. The reason our religion has penetrated this territory like water flowing into dry earth is that it has given this group of people a human warmth they never previously knew. For the first time they have met men who treated them like human beings. It was the human kindness and charity of the fathers that touched their hearts.” ― Shūsaku Endō, Silence
“I was only giving expression to a sad reflection that was rising in my mind. Kichijiro was right in saying that all men are not saints and heroes. How many of our Christians, if only they had been born in another age from this persecution would never have been confronted with the problem of apostasy or martyrdom but would have lived blessed lives of faith until the very hour of death.” ― Shusaku Endo, Silence
“His pity for them had been overwhelming; but pity was not action.” ― Shusaku Endo, Silence
