  1. What a heart wrenching episode but l m very satisfied with how it went. I actually like it! CP unequivocally puts HY in her place n YS finally realises that his love for Raon is futile so its a closure for him, I feel. Luv the bloke. Pls pls dont let him sacrifice his life to save them.

    the reunion at the end is the best thing to happen. Come what may after this, at least CP n Raon are now back on even keel. No more hidden identities. He accepts her for who she is n vice versa so whatever hardship they ll face in the coming eps, l feel assured it will not break them as a couple.

    as for the scene where both CP n Raon will likely be hauled back to the palace next week, no big deal.. there is still the White Cloud Clan to rescue her or YS to save all by revealing the truth abt the swapped baby n all his grandpa s misdeeds.

    its all good, chingus. Thks for the transcaps n translations. I m actually much happier abt today s ep. Chin up all!

  2. I m pretty sure there s no sex involved in that bed scene coz she s still in her eunuch robe. If they did the deed, wldnt both of them be in their white underclothes or whatchamightcallit?

    so dont get yr expectations up, my frens. No expectation, no disappointment. Im just happy that there r some more lovey dovey scenes bet them before the heartbreaking ones come along. And l m not talking abt the wedding. Strangely, l dont mind that anymore esp since CP has made his stance clear. But l have a strange feeling that the wedding wont even happen. I think the whole rebel story and Raon's birthright story will forestall the wedding. The rebellion cld happen on the wedding night so it never really takes place. Then the heartbreak will come from the fact that they will be on opp sides of the fence n he cannot be with the daughter of a rebel.

    Ep13 Text preview

    궐 안에 있는 라온(유정)이 불안해진 한상익(장광)은 병연(동연)에게 라온을 백운회 본진으로 데려갈 계획을 밝힌다. 
    한편, 동궁전을 습격했던 자객 중 한 명이 추포되어 의금부로 압송되는데...

    The head eunuch feels insecure to see Raon staying in the palace, so he tells Byung Yeon his plan to bring her to the White Cloud Society. By the way, one of the assassin is arrested and moved to the investigation division.

    Raon: 저하의 곁에서 한 걸음 이상 떨어지지 않아도 되겠습니까? Can I stay by your side in one step distance?
    Yeong: 오래오래 그리 있어도 된다. You can stay as you are for long time.
    Prime Minister: 홍라온을 먼저 찾아내서 우리 손에 넣어야 돼. We should find out Hong Raon first and get her in our hands.
    Minister of general : 궐 안에 피비린내가 진동할 것 같습니다. The palace will be filled with blood smell.
    Ha Yeon: 저와 제 집안을 이용하십시오. Please use me and my family.
    Yeong: 난 아무런 마음도 줄 수가 없는데 I can't give you any heart.
    Ha Yeon: 상관 없습니다. 서로의 이익을 위한 거래일 뿐이니까요. I don't mind. Because it's a business for each other's benifit.
    Prime Minister: 그 자의 신원을 파악했습니다. I found out his/her identity.
    King: 그럼 이 자가 홍경래의 여식이란 말인가? Then is this the daughter of Hong Gyung Nae?
    Prime Minister: 지금 당장 소신의 목을 베시지요. Why don't you behead me right now?
    Byung Yeon: 저하 Your Highness...
    Raon: 제가 역적의 딸이라는 사실을 알게 되신다 해도 저를 만난 걸 후회하지 않으시겠습니까? When you find out I'm a daughter of a traitor, will you still not regret that you have met me?

    Btw,  saw some filming pics over at Weibo. Raon is still in eunuch gear and there seems like there is going to be an interrogation scene. The crew were preparing that scene with the chair and stuff.  

     

    The good news about this is that it means she stayed on in the palace despite knowing her true identity. She din run away from CP secretly. Yay!

    My heart is touched. YS won me over again when he protected RO's identity and killed the investigator. For RO, YS went to great lengths and betrayed his grandfather. Then for YS to shield LY from the charging swords, there are no words to express the joy of seeing YS come to LY's side in times of need. I've always wondered how YS was going to redeem himself and repair his relationship with LY and wow, I got a pie of joy thrown into my face. This is what I absolutely love about this drama, so unpredictable, each scene is filmed with care, the quality of each scene is clear as the pieces fit together by the end of each episode. At the end of each episode, a new issue is introduced but by the end of the next episode, the issue gets resolved, talk about efficiency and not dragging out problems throughout the drama, this drama is number 1. And BY. I'm glad that BY came right in time to save LY. LY was saved twice by two awesome friends, so I hope, with just 6 more episodes to go, we'll be seeing them three together again a lot more than this.

    I think for the past few episodes, LY has been the center of attention, but not even by much, because we still do see RO, a lot, but perhaps her purpose is different from the beginning, she's someone's lover now, so she's quietly supporting LY by giving him positive energy, which always inspires resolutions to his problems. So I wouldn't go as far to say that RO is now a supporting character. The approach in building her character has changed a bit. HOWEVER, as we see in Episode 12, the last scene ended with RO, which means, we'll be seeing her in action now, as she learns of her identity. I think now, she's going to be the one who does the protecting of our LY. Countless times, LY has placed RO's importance and well being above the throne, above him, and all else. So I would like to see if RO can meet him half way, would she and how she would go about protecting their love and LY like how he has been doing all this time. I'm sure RO will do us great justice. I'm excited to see.

    Please, someone pour some love to our YS and BY. BY. The only person he truly loves is LY, so I hope there's a good scene between them two. And yes, YS, too. I want LY to thank YS and eventually smile around each other now.

    The acting from everyone was super awesome, but I don't need to say much because I'm sure everyone was PROUD of our young cast who made DEEP impressions today.

     

    Hear! Hear! This week l m loving on YS. He has been protecting Raon from the time he met her and now also the CP. l think CP is enjoying enuf luv from everyone else so l m gonna give some love to YS. Poor guy gets nothing in return for all his quiet contributions. I def think he deserves more than a gorgeous wardrobe. Incidentally, he really does have nice outfits in this show.

  6. A big thank you to all the transcappers n translators. I m ever so grateful to be able to read whats going on before watching the raw ep.

    I luv ep 12. My Man of this Ep is Yoon Sung. I feel so bad for him now. Not even a visit from Raon after his heroic sacrifice to save the CP. l hope the writer writes in a love line for him somehow. Maiden dropped from the sky.. i dont care.. Just give him his own girl to love already.

    And the CP.. How can a bloke be so perfect? Tall, gorgeous, smart, skilled swordsman n archer, sensitive, romantic, brave, funny, selfless, clothes horse, macho to the max... Does he even have any flaw??? Ahhh yes, l found one - his father. Heheh. Thats the best l can think of. Sorry.. I m dad bashing again. He just annoys me with his weakness n paranoia.

    And bromance goals, man. Wish there was more air time of all 3 fighting together.. Stylo-mylo machismo.

    the ending me no like.. Sense of foreboding. If Raon does the run away from palace thingy out of guilt or to "protect" CP's life, l m so gonna fly to S.Korea n smack her. Stay n fight it out for better or worse, gal. Leaving the CP now is as good as stabbing him in the gut n l agree with some forummers here that that would be too cliche of kdramas. However, if her departure is a strategic one planned by her n CP, then ok.

    PD n scriptwriter - r u reading this?

    Nobody should even dare to seperate my OTP! I will fight them all! super-onion-head-emoticon.gif

     

    I think any separation will be necessary but temporary. Spoiler for u.. In the last minutes of the ep 11, he hinted at the future where he says to Raon to wait for him to be the kind of King who makes the world where everyone can be happy. I think this is real smart writing on the script writer s part to hint about the upcoming devts.

    note to self : be patient. All good things comes to us who wait.

    With regards to the possibility of the upcoming scene, I think the director  has been doing a wonderful job so far. So even if there is a scene of intimacy, it will be tastefully done. Actually I am the 'less is more' kind of person who appreciates how you can use your imagination for what happens than to have it all laid out it front of you. 

    But perhaps a wee kiss or two will not be too much to suggest what happens next?

     

    I agree. I think even if they did spend the night together, it will be told to viewers in a very subtle n classy way so that it will not upset the moral brigade. Historically, it wouldnt be a shock due to Raon's age as then girls that young are offered as concubines to the King. But the classy treatment will be more out of consideration for KYJ the young actress herself. Esp after the chest bandaging saga.

    I dont need to see them roll in the hay as it were. I ll just be happy to know that they did the deed coz thats as a good as sealing the deal for their future.

    lastly, l really really hope Yoon Sung is not killed off in ep 12 while protecting CP n Raon. I ll be devastated.

  9. Ep 11 preview seems like a precursor to a separation where CP realises that to protect Raon means letting her leave the palace and him. Thinking about that is heart-breaking but may be very necessary for the story devt regarding her real identity n the rebel forces. Her role n influence over that will bridge the rift with the royal family eventually, l think. It will also them to develop BY s story coz he now has to orotect both the CP inside the palace n RO outside of it. l just have a bad feeling he s the character who's life will be sacrificed. :(

    Anyhow, l m confident that it will be a happy ending so chingus, lets hope they get thru the temporary heartache n separation quickly. Thats the best we can hope for.

    Yes I wanted the side characters to develop. Yup, you are right I do miss the fluffy fun.There is scope for betterment of Byung Yeon and YoonSUng's character. True the pace should pick up from now on.

    Thanks for a decent reply , the other replies just are putting down my opinion cos of the other dramas I watch. Lol. 

     

    I think its more of a perception rather than the show actually starting to bore or drag because the exciting part about the "does he or does not know?" and the "will she or will she not accept him" has just been resolved after so many eps. So the thrill of the chase is now over for us as viewers n they are almost domestic in ep 10 so perhaps that s why u felt the drop in activity.

    But herein lies the ingenuity of the story writer coz she doesnt dwell on the lovey dovey bit. By end of ep 10, we see a new twist to the story - Eunuch Han s identity. That will propel the story of Ra on's identity forward n with that BY's n of course, the impact on the CP. The pace is picking up again n we ll be nail-biting come next week.

    So l think the story pacing is pretty good. If u want to know what is slow n draggy.. watch a Taiwanese drama. 20 mins spent on one crying scene alone :)

    Bonus: 2-second tender scene during their Piggyback Ride in case you missed it...Gosh! It was soooo challenging to splice it!

     

     

     

    This is the first time l ve seen a piggy backing scene where the gal s face can be so far in front that it is practically cheek to cheek with the guy's. That really was all l could think of when l saw that scene.

    and i laughed out loud at one of the comments here that said her head looked abnormally big. I really think its got to do with her head being so far forward. 

    either pbg is very strong or kyj is super light or they just have a great piggy backing technique.

    The king is not a good one by any means, but his one saving grace is that he made the CP regent. He gives power to a competent succesor. This in itself is one of the wisest moves. As brilliant as the CP is, without some real court power, he wouldn't be able to do as much as he does.

    The king doesn't exercise calm, but I guess he has a few reasons. He is understandably anxious about a 2nd rebellion. The 1st one was bad enough, a 2nd one could give anyone in power an 'excuse' to topple him from the throne. Also, those in court could get rid of him incognito during the turmoil of a rebellion (in the guise of 'rebels'). I would say the concern about the consequences of a rebellion is legit.

    The king is going on about the marriage because I think he is projecting. I reckon he feels he made a mistake by marrying a Kim woman, and therefore giving the Kim clan more power. He keeps on saying: "The Prince shall not be like me". In his guilt stricken mind, he may feel he left a mess for his son to inherit. In his paranoid mind, he may perceive the only way to 'make it up' to his son is make sure he marries anyone non-Kim. Parental guilt is, more often than not, paranoid. Essentially with the best of intentions. Because I do feel the king loves his son. 

    I don't really agree with the king either, but by understanding the issues, it's clear solutions can be made. I assume Dasan should be working on that end of the equation. 

     

    Yes, l agree his saving grace is trying to be a good father but in saying that l also feel that a good father protects his family by standing up for them and not pushing his son to the forefront to take the hits. And a marraige of convenience at the expense of his son s happiness to ensure the royal family's survival doesnt speak of love. It speaks of self-interest too. He is just very lucky he has a super smart and principled son. So he is not in any way wise. Just blessed.

    While i suppose his character is somewhat based on history so hating on him is pointless, l cant help but dislike him as all the problems they have now are a direct result of his incompetence. His queen was prolly murdered, he married a Kim, the rebellion happened.. So he is the root of the problem in my books.

    nuthing l can do about that. Im just griping.

  13. Ok, l m gonna let it out. After 10 eps, l really find the King very annoying. Paranoid, incompetent n just plain a sad excuse of a leader. He is frightened of everyone! And his best solution to quell rebels who dont like the interim king? Marry him off. I mean, what the hell is that in terms of a solution?

     I have to fast forward all his parts to enjoy the rest of the show. #Just ranting..

    While I am eager to watch the preview, I am worried about the liveshoot and the well-being of the cast and crew who have to work double time to give us two amazing episodes each week. It means they are still in the process of filming the next two episodes, pulling all-nighters just to finish these. I hope not.

     

    Actually, l dont mind not having preview. Its a long way off to Mon n the preview can be out of context n heart breaking so l d rather not know have to watch n speculate. Also if as u say, they are rushing to film, then someone pls tell them to take their time. We ll wait patiently. Dont overwork the cast, pls.

  15. Thank you chingus for that emotional roller-coaster ride. I went from being angry with Raon to deciding to like Jo gal back to liking Raon again. At least now l know i ll watch ep 9. Was intending to skip it. Thank you all for doing the hard work. Big hugs!

    and l ll like to send the writer a big hug too for always resolving the emo issues by the end of the ep. He/she is amazing.

    Act coy and act cute?   :lol:  Yeah...it is her first love at first sight....I suppose it is her entitlement to behave like that as a teen plus her first love.  But I get what you mean.... I do not like the character to be so insistent in her pursuit of her love when she has been rejected twice out-rightly by CP.  If she puts her determined nature in other areas, I would have higher regards and respect for her.   But the truth is she is actually suicidal in pushing for a marriage without love.  In the end, she would be left alone most of the time and die miserable.  Actually I sympathise with people like that...they don't know they are digging a living grave for themselves, they imprison themselves for life in a marriage without love......I think it is the toughest way to pass time in the palace to live like that.

     

    To be fair, at this point, she doesnt know that he is in love with another gal so she is just pursuing her happiness with sincerity, as encouraged by Raon. So lets give her character a chance for now, shall we? I re watched her scenes n actually l think on her own she s very likeable. Its unfortunate she has to come between our OTP eventually but hey, someone's got to be that gal, right? 

    BUT I will come back to this post n rant if she turns nasty n under-handed later. ;p

  17. Interesting that K Will n Gummy both also sang on DoTs ost, my other fave kdrama n OTP of all time. Still shipping them.. Also coincidental that PBG n SJK r good frens n agency mates n both r enjoying great fame now. 

    Anyone else thinks the food tasting scene was so cute n sweet? Both their expressions r so adorbs. One enjoying the food albeit sheepishly n the other enjoying looking at her enjoying the food. Aarrghh.. The feels.
