Can someone explain this to me I really don’t get it?? Why did Rin do something so out of character? Or have I just been blinded by his charm so far? Am I missing something here? SERIOUS QUESTION!!

    My interpretation is that Rin knows that Won won’t let San go, so the only way for him to cut ties between Won and San is to make Won give up after seeing them together. I think Rin’s motivation to do that is the after-effect of what the King said about Won being the same as the Queen, which they won’t let someone go even if that person’s bleeding once they called them theirs. I think Dan also might say something that made Rin decided to kiss San as a way to cut the thread between San and Won.

      But why does Rin think Won will give up if he sees them like this? I’d like to think he knows his best friend well enough, but there’s already so much discord brewing between them at that point that I’m not optimistic as to Won’s reaction. I really want to know what Dan said to him as well. And also, is Rin just banking on Won’s trust in him to so daringly escort the king back to the palace with Song In’s gang in tow? I’m trying to understand his motivations but his lack of communication with Won recently bothers me.

        I feel like him kissing San is to make Won feel betrayed by it, so that he will despise both of them and won’t be holding them to be by his side. As for Rin walking next to the King, I understand his situation. No matter how loyal Rin is to Won, King is still a King and Rin is still a loyal subject to the King. So if King wanted him to walk next to him, though he didn’t like it because he knew it’s another Song In’s scheme, he still needed to obey King’s request. He also cares about the King and he knows that King’s in bad condition because of Song In and Boo Young, which is why he didn’t leave and tell Won about King’s condition, but stayed next to the King instead.

          Your theories are very reassuring! Thank you! Really needed to peer into Rin’s mind for a bit this episode. Yes, I agree his concern for the King is clear, and can only hope that Won will have sufficient faith in his best friend, and be patient enough to wait for his explanation.

    Yeah, I still have some hope left in Rin, that he’s not in song in’s place to be a CP himself, that he still has his friend’s best interest at heart. He did look at Won first, and then went forward to kiss San, so at this point, we can only make assumptions. I am curious what was going on in his heart, and what made him take this bold step, when San cleared his confusion already, that she wants to bid the prince farewell before going away. I hope he has thought it through, and not just doing it for winning San. Though have to blame the show for inconsistency, we saw already how sad San was when Rin was going away, looking all pale and fragile. And now she feels she has some connection with the prince. I have only to blame the writer for the weak links, and lack of resolution in the leads.
