Clever as a devil?
Jun Ho's character, Do Hyun, is a figure of heroic magnitude and energy. He deliberates, resolves and exults. His "spirit" bears up unbroken, resting on its own energy and requiring no support from anything external, not even from hope itself
He undercuts his opponents by questioning what they had previously taken for granted. At times, he seems to be the only character who thinks, or in whom I best recognize what it feels like to think
The power to entangle and excite the audience is an observable feature of his figure. The greatness of his intellect lies in his intemperateness and ferocity
There's more than malice here, more than bombast; there's sublimity, in revenge, courage, endurance and determination. Combined with sympathy, Jun Ho (Do Hyun)'s "spirit" of revenge and readiness for guile are several softer passions
His heroic qualities are enhanced by the strain of something approaching tenderness. We see it again when he is moved towards sympathy for those falsely accused of a crime. His will-power is not the expression of a nature irrevocably hardened or incapable of gentle emotion
Jun Ho (Do Hyun)'s heart is a sea. It has its storms; it has its tides; and in its depths, it has its pearls
What's missing? A season 2. Or a BL spin-off starring a man who will ardently admire and love Jun Ho (Do Hyun). A man who will mend Jun Ho (Do Hyun)'s heart and wipe away his tears
