However, the people can’t follow his mindset-they say that they only followed Hong Hero because they needed the food and shelter in order to survive. He asks for recruits because he needs all the help he can get to rescue so many people. Then, he brings up his plan to steal the citizens in prison from Yeonsangun’s cells. Gil-dong announces that while they have no power over the weather or mother nature, they do have the power to bring down the king. So he resolves to save them, and the following day, he gathers up all of the people in the cave hideout to recruit volunteers. Whereas, in Gil-dong’s nightmares, he is haunted by the suffering of the people that are rotting away in Yeonsangun’s packed cells-bloodied, bruised, and without hope. When Eunuch Kim protests, saying that Gil-dong even professed that he was a commoner with no special bloodlines or family ties to speak of, Yeonsangun is convinced that since Gil-dong is a thief, he’s a liar as well, and he must have deceived everyone about his ancestry. Yeonsangun tells him his theory that Gil-dong must be an illegitimate nobleman’s child or a long-lost royal cousin, because there’s no way a plebeian could have that much confidence facing a divine being such as himself. He wakes up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, and Eunuch Kim rushes over to him with a worried expression. The king fears Gil-dong’s return and replays Gil-dong’s last words to him over in his dreams. You can’t help what you love.īoth Yeonsangun and Gil-dong are plagued with nightmares, but the causes behind their respective restless nights are vastly different.
Perhaps it’s the lack of blood, guts, and fighting, which I must admit are my favorite parts of the show at this point. But for some reason, I’m not feeling as much excitement as I was last week. Key decisions are being made and events are propelling us toward the final confrontation we’ve been waiting for. It feels like we’ve just been preparing for the past twenty episodes, and finally, we’re starting to make some headway. 169 ApApRebel: Thief Who Stole the People: Episode 24 by tineybeanie
