after the hug, Hak told Mundok bout him being the new Capt of Sky Tribe Imperial Guard. Mundok was still in shock with Hak's hug and it took 5 business days to realized what he said that he's part of Sky tribe now! he was like NANIIIIIIII?!!!

A character that has always intrigued me Elder Mundeok.

He is the one adult that has had a close relationship with all the three characters - Hak, Soo-won & Yona.

And while other characters more or less we have an idea of their actions, and behaviour, Mundeok is slightly baffling.

We know he is Hak's grandfather. He was the former general of the Wind tribe, and notably he was a very loyal supporter of Il— But, why?

Il despised weapons, conflicts, forbid war, but incredibly his most loyal supporter raised the best warriors in the country.

Perhaps he was more tolerant of the wind tribe due to their easy going nature, not prone to aggression like the fire tribe or the earth tribe.

Wind tribe was favoured, Mun-deok was an elder. He was in the best position to advise Il on several poor decisions he made, yet he did not. I have never understood, why?

Did he advise, but Il did not listen?

Then why did he support Il despite the poor decisions that were made? Was it because it was not Fuga's problem? It does not make sense though. What was not Fuga's problem would eventually become Fuga's problem once the tribes and the people one by one started to revolt.

Then was it because of Yona being Hiryuu's incarnation?

Still, why did he never advise Il to give his daughter proper lessons as the next heir to the throne.

Did they expect her to magically earn governing prowess?

I doubt he's that dumb, but then Mundeok revered the priests. He believed in Hiryuu. Then was everything pre-planned? Il doing nothing, letting his people rot for ten years knowing Soo-won would kill him— was this all to trigger another Hiryuu reign of Il's dreams? To make Yona reunite with the dragons and regain her throne like in the legends? Is that what these two were going for?

Of course I understand, if Yona had never gone to reunite the dragons we would never have this story, but then it makes you think the characters who hardly appear seem to have made the greatest impacts aside from Yona and funnily enough all these decisions lead to tragedy.

Also, it seems that Master Lee is testing Ukie Deokie's relationship by just gently probing them. Like he isn't getting in the way or just letting them be. Just feeling it if it's going to cause discord or if it will be good for both. AMD NO ONE COULD HAVE HANDLED IT WITH MORE GRACE THAN HIM

He is really well written and all of my favorite scenes with lore are with him!!

Alchemy of souls really stayed true to its characters original traits but still allowed a much needed character development.

Uk's "disappointed but not surprised look" when Mun-deok told him she's about to bargain his life for safety is a refreshing change to what could have been a dramatic "you betrayed me, I don't want to see you ever again" Hahaha

And then proceeded to making plans on how to ambush the enemy, no corny promises or grand gesture of promises. Just pure efficiency

and here we have yona and suwon wanting to be treated the same way by the people they love

suwon sulking and kicking off rocks is so adorable to me
