My question is, Soo-Won, by 'killing' your two childhood friends to take the throne, then are you really any better than the late king who you detested for killing his brother? Like, you could've had more standards because it was made clear to you several times that you could rightfully succeed the throne by marrying Yona - if you did this, then you pretty much get everything you want too, you're two best friends and the throne. smh
btw, I haven't seen anything past what happens like half-way through the anime, so maybe it becomes more clear later on..

I mean Soo-Won's motivations are a little bit forced, but I can understand - from an internal logic sort of standpoint - why he needed to kill the previous king.
It's revenge.
I don't even know if the king actually killed his father or if he's just been led to believe that. But his whole thing is to be a strong king and therefore, he had to "kill" all the weaknesses and let go of the two friends who are/could become weaknesses.
Soo-Won isn't trying to be a morally better king, he wants to be powerful enough to unite the tribes against a common enemy. He has no standards, he's made that abundantly clear. He's desperate to make the country strong for whatever reason.
The easier, obvious solution was to marry Yona, of course, I think we all agree on that. And King Il's objections aside, there's ways around that without bloodshed.
But in his own, twisted logic, this easy way isn't the right way. He's doing all this for the "greater good".
