Mirror of the Witch Episode 11 Reacties
Wow, this episode was pretty potent stuff. While it bothered me before about some of the magic rules changing, I think Mirror of the Witch has it's footing. It knows what it's doing, so viewers can sit back and relax and watch the characters figure it out.
To be honest I am disappointed in Poong Yeon, but his current feelings are to be expected. It felt like he created this idea about Seo Ri. He didn't really know her, after all she was trapped up alone in the Black Forest most of the time. So it's undeniable that his love would turn out this way. Trying to obtain an ideal, not accepting the person.
So what makes true love? I enjoy the idea that Mirror of the Witch is taking on True Love. (Queue marbles.)
Sol Gae's role in things is driving me crazy as she's one of the characters that we know little of, and with only 5 more episodes to go it may stay that way. (***Edit: Kachiiing brought it to my attention that the show has been extended to 20 episodes. I refrain from passing judgement at this point.****) Sol Gae and Poong Yeon can save each other! That's all I'm asking out of that plot line. Not to mention that I do have a few other plot holes that are starting to irritate. Such as Hoe Ok's father.
Overall though I love the players setting up! The Queen and King are now becoming willful players, and I think they're both trying to no longer be pawns. This epsidoe does well to flesh out spotlight characters and some minor players a bit. Not to mention that there's a question of Seo Ri's twin not wanting to kill her. The twists that this episode created are just too good.
I think my show down--queue bloodlust--is coming!
This episode from its beginning to its very end is just a series of shocks. Count on Mirror of the Witch to surprise you!
I think now that we shed new lights over all characters, I can say I don't like any of them (except for the Joon and Yoon Hui). All of them are selfish people who either haven't properly loved anyone in their lives or are in the process of ruining their lives because of their obsessive love. I think my biggest heartache was the Queen. I always knew what she was in reality, but somehow I hoped, against hope really, that she would change! Today, I hated her so much. I don't know if she can ever redeem herself.
Then, there's Poong Yeon. The man's conflict is real, but I can't properly sympathize or be angry with him. (Although I think he's going to make me hate him in the upcoming episodes). There's a big part of me who blames his misery on his stupid insensitive useless father. It is very annoying to have the person who knows everything be so unwise and completely removed from human emotions. I get that he's the only person working for the 'good' but a) his ways are the worst and nothing good ever came out of what he does b) He doesn't seem to truly love anyone but his goal. In that way, he's just like the Witch, the Queen, and King Seon Jo, but I never cut him any slack like I used to do with Queen and King because he knows everything and he's supposed to be the 'father/mentor' figure. Of course, he fails. He was never a father to anyone including his own son. Simply, that guy is like a useless zero. He monopolizes all that knowledge, fails to share it at the right time or to do anything useful with it. I don't want to wait for him to do anything good and redeem himself anymore. I just want him to die sooner than later before he manages to curdle my blood with another grand folly of his.
This episode was very sad, perhaps, the saddest for Yeon Hui. Like her, I felt that she's been surrounded by idiots who kept failing her all of her life. Like Joon felt in episode 4, it seemed like life itself was rejecting the poor child. But then comes Joon, the one person who has ever loved the cursed Princess unconditionally among all those people who just want to use her for some reason!
Damn it, I only see heartache in the future! Let's break no more hearts, show! Can you do that?
