I've heard some people complaining about the addition of Meinyan and Val's relationship to Akatsuki no Yona on the grounds that it detracts from Hak and Yona's "screentime". To me, I think it adds to their story.
Admittedly, when Meinyan was first introduced, I didn't care for her at all. She seemed spoiled and shallow, and overall just bitter about her lot in life. But as her story developed, I've come to realize the genius of adding her to the ensemble, particularly in how her character relates to the three central characters of the plot: Yona, Hak, and Su-Won.
First, she's a foil for Yona. In the beginning, Mei is shown for what Yona could have become, a bitter woman who compromised her values and self worth just to survive. But then, she's befriended by Yoon, and her potential blossoms. Later, through Val's eyes, we she her as she was - a strong woman who was determined to become one of the best fighters in the Kai Empire.
Val is a foil for Hak, and Hak can relate to him (and thus to Mei) because of his strong feelings for her. Check out these panels from ch. 135...
Hak knows *exactly* how Val feels. After all, Val and Mei were friends first. When Meinyan became the Emperor's concubine in order to have a chance to meet the one person who thought she could really relate to - Su-won - she became unreachable to Val. But he was (mostly) content to watch over her from afar. When he learned that she was being harmed, and that she wanted to escape (and that she had feelings for him too), he sacrificed everything to save her...his career, his country, his reputation. All that mattered was being with her. Val is a tanned, blonde-haired, Hak. And because of that, Hak is eager to help Val achieve his goals.
This isn't lost on Yona either. She gets it. Yona and Hak are both rooting for Mei and Val, because they see the parallels in their stories. And so, the audience is meant to be rooting for them, too.
But probably the most interesting part of this relationship is how it relates to Su-Won. I don't completely hate Su-Won, but I wouldn't shed a tear if the crimson dragon sickness claimed his life. He's earned that fate. If it was just him suffering from it, I wouldn't care if they ever found a cure for it. But now that I'm rooting for Mei and Val, I suddenly have a more compelling reason to want them to figure out how to cure this disease. Because, LOOK at them!
They're so cute. They deserve to be happy too. I want them to have a long life together. I want them to be lifelong friends with Hak and Yona. I want their kids to be buddies. I want them to have a bright future too, and it doesn't take anything away from Hak and Yona to give them that.

Yona of the Dawn: Chapter 189 ~ My Favorite Bits (SPOILERS)
To save your life, obviously 🙄
Can we please get a backstory of where this dude came from???
The pure disdain in her eyes
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But how does she know that???
I’m not going to cry
About that...
Majestic 💙💚🤍💛
Zeno: "This air smells lovely.”
Kija: “I wonder how many of these guys I can fight at once?”
Jae-Ha: “I’d rather be looking at women.”
Shin-Ah: *not listening*
People usually end up dead when Kija is involved, so I’m not surprised that’s their first instinct
*serious mode activated*
I have to give it to Kija. Dude is cool as a cucumber while a sword is being swung at his head
That’s right!!! Show them who’s really in charge!!!
(also, can’t get over “lord white dragon”, it’s so weird)
Ohhhh, he’s mad
Correction: Hak is invincible
Zeno is really playing a different game
SAY WHAT
Zeno knows all
That’s the reaction I think we all expected
King dude... I love you Zeno

I feel like the anime is to blame for the so called "woobification" (I really loved this term you used @yonaks) of Soo-won because we don't get a ton of scenes with him in the anime and the ones that we do are showing his cutesy side.
Like we see him first as Yona's first love, we see him as a kid, and it seems like a weird almost possessed cutscene when we see him murder the king. Thereafter we get the Earth clan side story where he is nothing but fun and friendly - they don't expound enough on the moment where Geun-tae sees his eyes flash like they do in the manga.
Then we get the scene of him protecting Yona in Awa so it almost makes him seem reedemable even though its not even the bare minimum he could do.
They basically presented him as a cute /but murderous/ fun little guy.
In the manga we get so much more background and we really get to know his dad and why everyone is afraid of him that elevates the scariness of Soo-won's character.
Anyway I'm not getting over the anime's crappy job anytime soon, sorry.
