And one more question related to previous question. What does that nod that gon gave to yeong ment before he left him there all alone . I mean I wanna know the significance of the nod . I mean if that nod was given by yeong then i would have understood that Yeong was trying to say to gon that go ahead i will be okay . But the nod was from gon i didn't really understand that . thank you for your time 😊

Mmmmh it’s difficult to say for sure, of course to get the true answer of what it means you’d have to ask Kim Eunsook what she meant when she wrote it in the script, or you’d have to ask Lee Minho if it was unscripted, but for me I think it meant a few different things, rolled into one.

One meaning I think is it’s Gon trying to say to Yeong that he’s doing a good job, he’s doing well. Gon is thanking him for his work and his loyalty, and assuring him that what he’s doing is ok. It’s ok to touch the little king, it’s ok to hold him close and comfort him, and Gon is pleased that he’s doing that.

Another meaning could also be Gon assuring Yeong that he’s following the plan. Gon knows that Yeong would want to sacrifice himself so Gon can go after Lee Lim, so Gon’s nod is in acknowledgment of that, it’s as if he’s receiving Yeong’s silent blessing because he knows that Yeong is giving it. He’s saying that he won’t be distracted, and he won’t let Yeong’s sacrifice be in vain, and he’s going to go and finish what he started.

On a similar vein, it could also be Gon assuring Yeong that he’s coming back for him, that he’s going but he’s also going to come back. Yeong should stay strong for a bit, but it won’t be forever because he’s coming back - he won’t let his Unbreakable Sword break that easily. To be fair, this point could just be my wishful thinking but I like to think that Yeong knew that he wasn't going to be left alone forever.

So… yeah… I think it was a mixture of things? It's the culmination of 25, 26 years of friendship. They don't need to communicate with words anymore, they just understand what the other was trying to say instinctively. It's lots of things - thank you, you're doing well, we're going to complete this mission, we'll succeed in the end, everything will be ok - but it's also an abstract vibe of a very stoic thumbs up. In my opinion, anyway
