I hate that I'm posting so late but I just finished reading this.
Spoiler (highlight to view) Sure it was the "coward" choice to shoot, but after being beat down, kicked down the stairs, and thrown off a building, I'd be ready to believe that I was going to end up crushed by a chandelier. Heck, I would have stopped playing the trust game after the building incident. Really thinking about it, Spoiler (highlight to view) how likely was it that Sin Uoo would die if she shot him through the door? I'd assume it would be more likely that she'd get killed if crushed by a heavy chandelier. I think that if I was in that situation, I'd shoot and hope I didn't hit any vital organs. Like Han Seo could really line up the gun for a kill shot through a door. He'd have to predict how Sin Uoo would approach the door.
But here's what I really thought was interesting: People are saying that if she really loved him, she would sacrifice her life for Sin Uoo's. But she was sitting right there with Han Seo who also, if everything he'd said was true, Spoiler (highlight to view) would be crushed upon Sin Uoo opening the door. Taking that a step further with the fact that she told him to let her go when she was dangling off the breaking banister so that he wouldn't fall too, wouldn't that, given the earlier portrayal of love actions, be proof that maybe she really does love him (and possibly more than Sin Uoo)? So wouldn't that be a confirmation of her feelings for him? I think that, in the end, her love for Han Seo was greater than for Sin Uoo, but her attraction to Sin Uoo was more than for Han Seo who I think she always saw as more of a brother anyway.
Last bit. The argument that she's terrible for wanting to stay friends with someone because he had feelings for her. Obsessive and near murderous feelings for her. If you have a friend who confesses to you and you say no, does that mean that you can never be friends again? That makes absolutely no sense. The all or nothing approach is probably the worst approach to relationships and really makes me sick. (Sorry, personal opinion encroaching. Pulling back.) It's kind of an unfair expectation and I think there's more selfishness on the side of the one trying to enforce that kind of restriction. If you were friends for a long time, you would care if that person got hurt and you would certainly be sad if they forgot all about you even if they weren't your significant other. I'm having trouble seeing that as selfish. Why so many relationship restrictions?
(I wonder if this'll actually be read by anyone)
