32	----
33	* DamselOutOfDistress: She threatens Wang Jeon with a hairpin, ties him up, and leaves him in the carriage while she escapes.
34	* FalseRapeAccusation: Played with, since she isn't the one who makes the accusation. The king wants to depose Won, so he and Song In claim Won tried to rape San. San tries to say it's a lie, but no one listens to her.

68	* {{Jerkass}}: Publicly mocks and insults his own wife and son, and he cares nothing for the common people or their opinion of him. He resents Won because his son is the grandson of Kublai Khan, which means -- to him -- Won's status is technically higher than his own, so he deliberately makes Won miserable.
69	* SadisticChoice: Tells Won that he'll kill either San or Rin, and Won has to choose who dies.
