I’m in love with Red Sleeve ep 5. It makes so much sense to me now why the head court lady strongly opposes San’s enthronement. It’s so rare to have an antagonist in sageuk that doesn’t just plot for the sake of power grab or revenge. She’s a grey character that at one moment seems to care so much about her colleagues and the next moment sounds just like any other typical corrupt court people. The scenes of the head court lady and then the heartbreaking granddad-grandson confrontation show that even if Sado was long dead, he continues haunting the people who remember him. The acting and the writing of ep 5 are both superb and impactful. I can’t wait for ep 6 tomorrow.
Park Ji Young always nails those shady characters (as the one in Lost), those grey ones that walk between light and darkness. You can understand (and even more in the 18th century Confucian Joseon) that the sins of the father are inherited by the son. Her speech was so powerful.
