Not sure if you guys have seen this but I found it rather interesting. I personally feel like IU honestly fits this role perfectly with her youthful appearance and cute charm. I believe the heroine is 16 so casting IU was definitely a great decision. 

People may argue that the other two actresses have better acting skills than IU and that the show would have done better if they were casted but I beg to differ. As I've said before I think IU's acting is good. In comparison to LJK and KHN she is still lacking but I think the beauty in that is we will see her improve throughout the series. I also feel appearance plays a huge role in whether the portrayal of a character is accurate and believable to the audience and I could not imagine either of the mentioned actresses as Hae Soo. This was definitely an interesting article.

These are just my thoughts and opinions  

What do you guys think?

When you're drowning in so much work and you wonder why this type of drowning can't get you transported back in time so you can be like Hae Soo and meet all the hot princes. Struggle life.

@skxz My idea was that Hae Soo's cousin Lady Hae dies so that she can't stay any longer in Wang Wook's household because HAe Soo was only related to Lady Hae and not Wang Wook. I have imagined, she is forced to move into the palace and Wang So asks his father to have her as his maid. On the other hand, Wang Wook would like to marry her but he can't because Hae Soo doesn't belong to a powerful family and his family would never approve this marriage. This would push him to become more ambitious... once King, he can make her his Consort or something like that. 

 

Reading this made my heart flutter idk why hahahahaha i think its just i really like the idea that of Soo working as Wang So's maid or more so them interacting together more  

But that's a good point you make. That could explain why you see Soo and So alone together in a small house surrounded by nature in the really long preview of the series. It could be his home in Shinju maybe...

But this is all really exciting stuff  Thanks for your response!

Oh I've seen that when One Tv Asia aired the eps 3. The preview there is the longer version. That's why I'm a little confuse when I searched YT there's no scene Wook kicking those bad guys richard simmons. Look at his face. He is madly angry because he thinks Soo is in mortal danger hahaha. 

I think Wook slowly realize his feeling for Soo is deeper than he thought because of So's claiming. He even took a stand and reminded So that NOTHING in his household belong to So. It's just as good as claiming that Soo belongs to him not So. And the feeling got deeper when Soo get in trouble again helping 14th because those guys are armed and can seriously wounded or kill Soo. I think that feeling come to him hard and it must have been like got hit by a truck. 

Wook always the one who do the right thing because he had reasons and goals he wants to achieve. I don't think getting involve romantically with the cousin of your sick wife is a good move however loose the society about marriage in that era. But Wook can't help himself. He's too deep in love before he realize and I'm not sure he even want to get out. 

This is what attract me to his character eventhough he's can't get the girl. Those complexities and different portrayals is so much fun to dig and theories about hahaha. He is a wolf in sheep's clothes. He may not seem dangerous but he is actually. Wolf is a wolf no matter how you dress them. Wook has brain and bronze and not afraid to used it when it comes about Soo. He even stop caring what everybody thinks later on, I think. He don't stop persuing Soo when she was a royal maid. That's a careless political move. And sooooo not Wook. Hahaha

But that just what I think and I'm just his fan girl. Haha. Wook for life for me. Sorry for blabbering out, I tend to write long. 

Of course they were sad. There's a scene that showed Wook cries in the arm of Soo. He was tugging her robe in a room. And there were a scene where Baek Ah and Soo sitting together and crying. I think both are in the long preview. 

Nice to know you. I hope we can be friends. 

Ohhhh im sorry you were talking about the 7 minute preview. That preview took me on a rollercoaster of emotions it was just crazy. But I understand what you're saying and your analysis of his character is very good and accurate! I really love Wook but there's just something about So and right now I am so stuck on who I like more. I feel like as of what we've seen we havent seen enough character development of either lead males yet so I really can't decide. 

I can't wait to see the shift that occurs with Wook when he goes through all the turmoil with his wife passing and his feelings for Soo growing deeper and his battle with So for the throne I swear the tension between them two will be on another level of intense. I mean we saw how intense it was when they were in the forest and that was only the beginning.

I'm excited to see Baek Ah and Soo's close relationship as I've read somewhere they become drinking buddies and I think that's adorable. Their chemistry looks really fresh

Don't be sorry I love reading what other people think of the show it's so interesting to see different viewpoints and I'm just so happy someone responded to me

It is nice to meet you too! Let these discussions continue friend.

I'm not sure they will kiss eventhough I hope they will. It's a bold move specially coming from 8th who is always careful but love can make a man do strange things.. I think Hae Soo will decline and run for it. She likes Wook very much but she too care about her cousin. That's why Wook beating his chest under the tree. 

I think their love line will begin once Madam Heo dies. 

I think Baek Ah had romantic feelings toward Madam Heo. They are childhood friends.

I give up on the extended version. Internet connection is not very good and lagging heavily beside my Korean language is limited. That's why I'm hanging out here to see and read from others who posts. 

 

OMG that's so trueeee! Wanted them to kiss so badly I didnt even think of that but youre probably right!! So sad seeing Wook in pain cause he seems to be able to control his emotions for the most part.

That's true and I feel like Madam Hae will die in maybe end of Ep 5 which will be so sad and I want to know what Wook, Hae Soo and Baek Ah will be like when it happens cause they are the closest to her. When it happens I will most likely cry :'(

Idk if this will work but ill leave a link for you even tho it's not subbed the visuals will give you a fairly good idea i think 

Thanks for your response  

P.S I can try loosely translate it if you like but all the korean I've learnt is through k-drama so it might not be accurate

found this article on net where its mentioned that

"Meanwhile, several speculations are doing the rounds that the network might cancel the historical drama in near future because of its declining viewership. "

http://www.ibtimes.co.in/sbs-responds-criticisms-against-iu-network-air-scarlet-heart-goryeo-directors-cut-692073

Speculations..Speculations..Speculations..and Speculations.... gosh cant people have life of their own than just speculating things which they cant control..... I am sure (and i hope) SBS wont be doing it even with low rating just at start. they will wait patiently and with maturity till its half way through to decide anything.

Seriously people and their stupid speculations. People need to move on if they don't like the series and stop causing so much negativity around this drama cause it is purely unnecessary.

I seriously hope that the whole series gets broadcasted cause I didnt wait 6+ months for nothing.

But then again LBR this drama won't get cancelled it's just too good

Just re-watched the ending of the 3rd episode and the extended preview and realised why Wang So killed all the monks. Hahahahaha I'm so slow. I'm not sure if my presumption is correct but he did it to "protect" is mother in hopes that she will accept him as her son again BUT his mother being the b**** that she is will deny him of what he is seeking i.e. her love and acceptance. That's when he goes to the prayer stones where Hae Soo finds him and they'll interact (I'm so excited for that part). 

Another thing that I'm really really curious about is the relationship between Beak Ah and Lady Hae. Initially when they were talking I thought they had a loving brother sister relationship but when he said "you know exactly how i feel" i was like 

And also Yeonhwa is/will become Wang So's wife if this follows the Chinese version and idk how I feel about that. What's worse is idk if i ship Hae Soo/Wang So or Haesoo/Wang Wook. But I feel like Hae Soo and Wang Wook will have a kiss scene in the next ep I mean look how close he gets... I'm so excited but so confused. Never been more confused in my life.

Let me know what you guys think 

Thanks

This drama is so good that I've rewatched the first 3 eps 5 times over. I mean I even made an account because of this forum. I am really curious to see the relationship between Wang Wook and Hae Soo in Ep 4 because the preview looks so intense OMG the feels!!!
