Sohwa, the Most Loyal Character

You probably had the same thoughts as me. When I watched the first few episodes of QSD, I gave little thought to the character Sohwa. She just seem so comical and insignificant. Yet everything changes immediately when her Highness places the responsibility on Sohwa to be the parent of his daughter.

Loyalty is a recurring theme in QSD. It is the quality that dignifies the most subordinate character in the drama. Yet Sohwa stands out amongst the most loyal characters. That is because she has the greatest transformation as a result of her loyalty to her ruler and Deokman. While other characters had in them the capacity to perform what is required of them to remain loyal to their masters, Sohwa changed from being a weak and dimwitted character to someone who is exceptionally brave.

Characters Influenced by Sohwa

Chilsuk - One of the characters most affected by Sohwa. Because of her, he was willing to deceit his master. As well, she has brought in his life something other than loyalty to Milsik, it is love and compassion.

Deokman - It is because of Sohwa that Deokman is so resilient and strong minded. There was one point where Sohwa says that Deokman has to be so strong because she is so weak. I think that is far from the truth. Deokman is only the way she is because of the positive influence of her mother.

Favourite Scene

My favourite Scene of Sohwa is also her saddest scene, when she disguised as Deokman and Chilsuk stabs her. This is the most bittersweet scene between Chilsuk and herself and this is also why she is the heroine of the show.
