Yes THIS. We, as the viewer, know he is a dude from the 1400s, full of Goryo devotion and what not, thinks she's divine, and only needs her to heal the Queen and then he'll send her back with honor (well, that was the original plan).
To ES, or any other normal person in her situation, a homicidal lunatic in a cosplay outfit burst into a medical conference, took her hostage, slashed a man in the neck just to see her operate, fought his way past a police cordon dragging her, babbling some incomprehensible thing about healing and heaven - to any rational person, he's a murdering maniac who has had some psychotic break from reality, and she's shortly to be dead, possibly with some rape and mutilation thrown in beforehand. I'd be fainting and puking at that point.
And in the past - she has no idea she's time-travelled (and why would she? it's a crazy idea and nobody told her she's in Goryo), and in any event, she's pretty much a hostage to a various bunch of armed and violent men. I would not be a happy pumpkin.
I thought she was fully justified to stab Choi Young through the guts, actually. I love him, but in her place, I'd have been tempted to do the same.
