### Summary
Samwol's decision to travel to the capital as a witness for Hwan, symbolized by her cutting her hair for a male disguise, has been met with overwhelming anxiety and skepticism from readers. The dominant sentiment is that her plan is dangerously naive, as many argue that the testimony of a "peasant" with no proof will be dismissed and could even worsen Hwan's situation. This has led to her being labeled "dumb" and "irrational," with many readers suggesting she should instead break Hwan out of prison or find his allies. The physical transformation itself has become a focal point, drawing frequent comparisons to Mulan and Rapunzel. While some are excited by the popular "disguised as a guy" trope, others strongly dislike the new short hairstyle. Despite the widespread criticism of her strategy, a subtle shift in opinion is noted; some readers express relief that she is showing more restraint and forethought compared to her previous impulsiveness. The intense hatred for the antagonist, Deoki, continues, but the audience's primary concern is Samwol's perilous and seemingly futile mission, leaving them torn between admiration for her courage and frustration at her perceived lack of a viable plan.
