Thanks so much for your note.  I loved reading about Han, and am still thinking about it.  This morning I was thinking about Airarang, and wondered if the reason that the woman wanted her lover to go lame was so he couldn't fight.  Even if he was not able to walk back home, at least the army would not be able to put his life in danger. Be sure to email me if you have questions about any of the edits.  Thanks again for brightening up my morning!
