Pearl Harbor

Exactly right and mom did do things which she thought was correct to her daughter but her only mistake was she treated her as her brothers while punishing and reprimanding

Even though LBY comes on screen for some 2-3 mins, his aura is just too Divine....lol

Unpopular opinion about CSS's mom.....
For some reason i kinda started understanding CSS's mom......
From the day CSS's parents have returned home, all they wanted to see was their daughter but at that time she was sent to countryside to reflect on some of her mistakes because she had played some trick on her 2nd aunt, in that process she actually fell ill and when she returned home she was still a patient. As soon as she saw her parents, the only thing that came to her mind was to show her parents how badly she was treated by her aunt and grandmom in their absence. She was hell bent on showing them how bad her grandmom and aunt are even though she had to pretend and play few tricks. But unfortunately mom saw through her tricks. Mom observed her daughter for few days and dissected CSS's tricks. The 1st thing that came to mom's mind was to educate CSS but to CSS it came across as her mom is also no different than her aunt and she is not on her side. CSS wanted instant results about punishing her aunt and grandmom but mom wanted to handle the matter more cleverly. Again this looked like mom is actually punishing CSS and not doing anything to her aunt. I am not disregarding the fact that the route the mom took was kinda strict and she didn't try to talk to CSS from the time she came back from the military expedition.

What mom saw was a girl who is ill behaved, illiterate, full of tricks, no respect for elders. All she wanted was to teach her kid manners and educate in as less time as possible but that came across to CSS as her mom totally dis-likes her and she became even more stubborn and did opposite to whatever her mom told her to do. To make it worse, now mom had to take care of yang yang who is the polar opposite of CSS. Now it was confirmed to CSS that mom doesn't like her at all and is biased towards yang yang.

In today's ep. 16, it broke my heart to see how CSS was unmoved to her mom's tears.

I kinda see my mom in CSS 's mom.....I think its every asian mom's characteristics. My mom would scold me 1st if she hears that i was hurt and then console me later. She will be like you should be more careful on road, ofcourse as she cannot tell the other party so all she can do is tell me to be careful. This doesn't mean she isn't on my side. Even today she tells me to behave well in public, to sit in a certain way in public, not to shout when there are elders in the house and I am a 31 years old working woman and i still get to hear such things. Well i can only imagine how it would have been in those times for women like 300-400 years ago. CSS's mother's concerns were genuine. In every household , mom always plays a bad cop and dad a good cop. So for every daughter , dad would be the fav person among her parents. How to be a mom doesn't come with a manual, its just moms do things which they think are correct to their kids. If its a daughter then their responsibility becomes 10 folds more when compared to a son. Its 21st century and these things still holds good. Daughters someday are married off and had to go their in laws to live. In every stage, she will be told how badly her mother has taught her daughter. Again i can only imagine how it was back then, so CSS's mom is afraid that CSS will be tortured at Lou's place.

Sorry about my long post, let me know what you all think about this.

This shows how immature she is and not ready for marriage at all.

Just a thought , definitely not trying to blame Noh DaHyun.
If she had not fainted and her memories were still intact then she could have helped many people.
After that incident, Han SeJin/Ji Won Tak and his dad's lives were ruined. Gye Hyun and his family was ruined, his dad must be probably dead. Lee JunGuen died (not that i am complaining, but he was the main key/witness). Only if DaHyun had helped the police back then in catching the culprit , many lives would have been spared.

Oh, including LBY?

Is this from the novel? LBY 's family name is Ling but the emperor told something about Hua family? So his mom is not his actual mom but his aunt?

To protect you and other citizens someone has to the dirty job of killing right, which is why we have soldiers. So that we all can sleep in peace so they have blood on their hands

But again this was the very reason gye hoon was reluctant to get into a relationship because he was afraid that even she would leave him in the end which happened. Now he not only knows that where his sister was kept but also knows that his gf was with her. How heartbroken must he be in.

That's what..... You are speaking for me here lol..... She is heartbroken here for the death of that little girl. But she has changed her stance according to the situation. Ok, say suppose if the old magistrate was killed by an enemy country soldier in a war then was that justified. Enemy soldiers are also working and protecting their country just like the soldiers of her country. So according to me there is no blood as good or bad and no death is justified. All deaths are bad as it is going to be hard on the loved ones left behind

I agree that the max a 9-10 old could do was run away but atleast she could have helped the police catch the culprit or point at that damn house where they were kept captive

Remember how she told LBY to kill the guys who were captured when they tried to kill her in that abandoned inn. She was like I will them if you don't. Then LBY was like you be inside or else you won't be able to see that. But she still sneakily went to the place where those bandits were killed. So now she changed her stance that she hates people with blood on their hands. I understand she is not responsible for people and how they interpret her words. LBY's 2 assistants were like it is not a good omen to kill one who surrenders ,LBY only killed them because CSS would have killed them herself. This shows how immature she is and how she changes her stance according to the situation

I understand , because of that it gave wrong impression to 2 different men. So words are more dangerous than a sword.

I agree to your comment and as we are talking about if it had happened in real life then it could have worked. I honestly think it wouldn't have worked. In the longer run you would need a spouse/partner who not just praises you but also criticizes you if needed. This would help CSS( just as an ex) to grow as a person. If you just keep praising your spouse then unknowingly the other person will turn cocky and overconfident. So both is needed. So i don't think this kinda relationship would work in the longer run.

Add his mother also into this picture. 3 strong women in his life

Will you accept a death / killing / assassination if it was for a good cause or justified? Just a general question

Bandits and soldiers both have blood on their hands. Both can justify saying they did to protect their loved ones and the country. We know that these bandits were actually rebel soldiers in disguise so they did it for their people so now who is in the wrong.

I hated CSS when she said this " I hate people with blood on their hands"......That's very hypocritical of her to say. If Ling BuYi hadn't killed those bandits then she and her aunt wouldn't be alive now. The entire Hua county would be slaughtered by now. It doesn't have to be Ling Buyi, there are millions of soldiers out there who put their lives on line to safeguard other's lives so that people like CSS and LY can build their so called house of peace.

She doesn't have to marry LBY if she doesn't like it, but she is denying saying she doesn't like military generals. She doesn't realize that she is equally ruthless, ex. That bridge incident. She went ahead with her plan despite knowing what would be the consequences. She is just grabbing whatever coming her way without thinking about the consequences.
