2023 - 2026

Hello there! Sorry for the long delay….recently I’ve been very busy with my studies & other stuffs so didn’t get the time to reply……..

So here goes my top 5 favourite Akayona characters:

1. Soo-Won

Soo-Won is one of my most favourite characters of all time. He’s the only reason why I was so attached to the story. And why do I like him? Man I can write a whole essay on it but gonna keep it short

Well Soo-Won is a character that has so much depths, so many layers. Like you can't judge him by looking into just one aspects of him. There's a lot to explore about him & his circumstances. His character has been a mystery for me from the start & many of those have been unveiled as the story progresses....

The thing that I love sm is his strong determination & willingness to not give up to fate. His goal is clear & to achieve it, he doesn't hesitate to take tough decisions or face consequences. I love how he handles a dire situation, even if it goes against his plans or is unpredictable. One of his amazing traits is how he motivates ppl. He appreciates ppl's efforts to do smth by their own & tries to boost them up by figuring out their strong points(Lily, Kiyoga for example) & even doesn't hesitate to humble himself if it needed (like how he boost up GuenTae's lost enthusiasm by presenting himself as a stupid coward in front of the ppl of the earth tribe). He knows how to utilise his ppls strength which makes him a good leader. There's a lot to say about his other aspects but will talk in another post someday.....

Besides his bright sides, I also love his flaws. He's not a perfect human being, infact no human can be perfect! This makes him feel more realistic. His low self esteem issues, over exerting tendencies, unhealthy way of suppressing emotions & not valuing his own life....these are the major flaws of his character which he needs to acknowledge & get over with it.

Also I love his silly parts, esp how dense he is regarding romance & stuff. Also his attachment to books....I love nerdy(lovingly), genius characters a lot!!

2. Han Judoh

My fave general. I like his devotion to his kingdom & his ppl. But I love him esp for his grumpiness & short temper. The way he throws all his anger on Soo-Won is so entertaining! And I feel like Soo-Won deliberately makes him angry most of the time😂. And his relationship with GuenTae is another level of entertainment!! I miss those a lot!

3. An Lily

I love her for her willingness to do something for her ppl. She's aware of her shortcomings but still tries her best to fulfill her responsibilities. The thing I admired that despite being a general's daughter, she wasn't just a spoiled lil princess who only thinks of makeups, expensive jewels or comforts, she was always concerned of her ppl's wellbeing. Even if her father tried to cage her up, that didn't stop her from going outside world & exploring the situations. That's an amazing part of her! Also I love her interactions with Soo-Won. Even if they're not couple or romantically attracted to each other, their relationship is something sm appealing to me than the main romance couple of the story. And not to mention her weird tastes😂

Then not in particular order....I like General Guen Tae, Zeno & Keishuk. I love GT for his teases towards Soo-Won & Judoh. I enjoyed those moments sm. He's an honest person & cares for his ppl. Also Guen Tae-Yunho couple is so cute. My fave canon couple of Any!!

Besides Soo-Won, Zeno is another mysterious character of the story. What's he planning to do, what business he has with Soo-Won...I would love to see. They share the exact opposite fate....one is cursed to die earlier & another to live for eternity. Zeno-Soo-Won interaction is really an interesting part of the series. He's constantly testing Soo-Won, trying to know him better...like what's your deal you immortal grandpa?!

And Keishuk....the grumpy advisor who lacks empathy. I was neutral about him from the start & wasn't much interested in him until the end of the last war......when he proposed Yona & the dragons to form an alliance. That was a clever move & I was curious how he's gonna use them. That iconic moment when he said "Killing Il was a glorious night of victory" straight to Hak's face...I was sold on it...like this dude really has some nerves!!. During the flashbacks we learned more about him & got to know his reason for despising Il sm. But after the flashbacks, his character started to get inconsistent which is so dissapointing. It feels like his brain cells jump like a pingpong ball from one chapter to another. Like someome pls send him to a vacation already! Man has gotten so tired & needs to chill a bit, plssssss.....

Now time for my top 5 fave moments of the manga (It's kinda hard for me to rank but it goes):

1.

This is my most fave of all!! The 1st time I watched it in the anime, this moment gave me goosebumps & lots of feels & literally after watching this part, I decided to dive into the manga.

2.

Another iconic moment....it was such powerful message that he won't depend on the mercy of the gods but the strength of his ppl...so true king!!

3.

Actually every Suhak moments give me so much feels, so much pain...they all are my faves

4.

An example of how to roast someone in such a gentle way😂. Poor Gobi

5.

This panel will remain in my heart rant-free!! Kei & Judoh are not only the clowns but the entire circus here really😂. Overprotective daddies!! Love them sm for this

When you think you pulled an Ace move only to be royally screwed. Haha 😂
