    @valsava

    Yes but I think she has a right to be upset BUT she has no right to hold it against him. To me her being upset means that So is actually in her heart and that she does not want him to be with anyone but herself. Because there were no subs I am actually completely unsure of what exactly was going on but I believe before the kiss scene they talked it out. If they hadn't and she held it against him then I would not be on her side as she is more than aware that he has no control over the situation. Hope you understand where I am coming from :)

    OMG whatever they put in the King's shower has made him psycho. The way he's treating his daughter is bringing flashbacks of how Queen Yoo treated So when he was a kid. She tied him up on a pole and let people shoot flaming arrows at him WTF is wrong with that woman?!?!?!?! (Sorry I couldn't screenshot fast enough for the flashback)

    My lord I have a lot to catch up on.

    First of all this whole postponing the episode cause of a baseball game is smh. We Eclispes already have to wait forever for new eps hearing this news I just wanna cry :(

    Secondly the new still cuts have me so excited. The little girl who So is suppose to marry played LJK's daughter in his Two Weeks drama how cute is that. A little reunion which is so adorable but the relationship now is a tad complicated... (I apologise if someone has already picked this up or if I am mistaken but im like 99.999% sure) Lee Chae Mi, she's so cute OMG!!

    tumblr_oer82kJot61s8t96qo1_1280.jpg Also no offence but Wang Mu looks like he's gone crazy from lack of sleep. He looks like a zombie that poor man.

    Cr: to respective owners

    Also King Taejo (So's father) was the villain in Two Weeks (that is the guy that wanted to kill LJK). All these reunions in this drama that I was completely unaware of hahahaha.

    And FINALLY I really can't wait anymore!! How is everyone else coping with the baseball news?!?! I'm not the only one struggling right?!!? And honestly all these teasing with BTS and still cuts IS NOT HELPING.

    Thank you so much to everyone who keeps this forum alive you guys are amazing!! :heart:

    Review Episode 13

    We start of withe the peace gathering ceremony. The King has fainted and Baek Ah has taken a sword to the stomach (?) in order to protect the two people he loves. He pushes Woo Hee and tells her to run. Woo Hee looks filled with regret for not being able to accomplish her mission but also stabbing a prince whom she clearly loves. 

    We see that the King has not much longer to live. He is with Ji Mong and General Park thinking about his life.

    “What have I been living for all this time?”

    “You have founded an empire, Your Majesty.”

    “An empire? Will Goryeo last forever?"

    Now that he realises that he is about to die he questions what he has done in his life. What has he lived for and has he led a happy life and the answer we know is NO. He did not marry the woman he loved and worst was he lost their child because of another one of his wives. All his life he has been worrying about his Kingdom and doing things which would be of benefit to it in the future. Yes he has been a good King but that’s all he had in his short life. From what we are shown he was not close with anyone. The woman he loved he could only spend time with when she was serving him. His own sons he barely spent time with and whenever they appeared before him there were political or familial issues. His wives he did not truly love because he had only one woman in his heart. This question really struck me because we realise that he too like everyone else in the Palace walls lived rather miserable lives. Him who possessed all this power still felt confined unaccomplished. His memories of his life must have been filled with sadness, tough decisions and a lot of heartache. With all these struggles we see that he feels almost empty.

    He states that his "war is over now.” and that a new battle which they have to fight has to begin.

    Soo and Jung

    Soo is making medicine for the King and she reminisces to when So said that they should get married. I think this is to show that maybe she is finally accepting that she likes him not Wook. Man watching Ep 12 where she just could not shake Wook out of her mind really pissed me off. Anyways she shakes the thought and turns to grab something from a high shelf and can’t reach when Jung comes to the rescue. Since the time Soo saved him from getting his arm chopped off this is the only other time we see just the two of them together.

    Jung states he has returned from war and all he could think about was drinking the tea Soo made. That’s adorable. I really like her interactions with the younger princes because it’s so pure and non-deceitful. Like there’s nothing sinister lurking around the corner and I can just enjoy it.

    “I will bring you back no matter what I have to do. I am an adult too now."

    Screen%20Shot%202016-10-05%20at%209.46.4

    We really see the the youngest prince has grown up in the last year and has transitioned to being more mature and level-headed. Prior to this we saw that he had no concern in the world and always acted very childish. He’s still so adorable thought, not gonna lie. After everything he says Soo can only smile. I think she’s just really happy to see that he’s grown so mature in such a small time.

     

    Then we see Yo, Wook and Won shortly joined by Jung heading towards the King’s pagoda (Cheondeokjeon) but are then faced with a whole army of soldiers who have blocked their path. They are told to leave by General Park as the King has ordered them to go back to their homes and anyone who disobeys will be convicted of treason and killed. That’s quite intense man. All four of them have no choice but to turn away. I mean they don’t wanna die especially since they’re (Wook and Yo) are eyeing the throne. They are the first to turn away. Interesting.

    Screen%20Shot%202016-10-05%20at%209.50.5

     

    We see Soo preparing tea for the King and he states that it smells just like what Lady Oh had made for him before she passed. I am so happy that even in his final moments all he can think about is her. She really was a gift in his life and he did not take it for granted and I think he will regret it even in his afterlife. The King asks Soo to retrieve the Crown Prince as he does not have much time left and states no one can know about his death until the Crown Prince is back in the Palace. I am glad the King trusts Soo so much that he has given her this task but the poor girl can barely walk what do you expect out of her!?! It’s like asking a dead person to speak to you quite a difficult task isn’t it???

    “You cannot trust anyone.”

    Like Lady Oh’s words to Soo, the King tells her the same thing. Coincidence? I think not.

     

    Confrontations

    Okay in the next moments we are hit with 3 confrontations. They are between So and Yeon Hwa, Soo and Wook, Woo Hee and Baek Ah. So much was going on but I loved how they edited it cause it really built the tension.

    Yeon Hwa and So


    Screen%20Shot%202016-10-05%20at%2010.06.

    So is on his way to leave Songak but is stopped by Yeon Hwa and a barricade of soldiers. They discuss the matters of the throne and Yeon Hwa offers her and Queen Hwangbo’s support to get So into the seat. Man she’s trying to get everyone on that bloody throne. Spreading her bets everywhere so it’s a win win win situation for her. Smart evil cookie.

    “What can one do if they become King?”

    “The world will become yours. You can have everything.”

    “Then can I have a person’s heart, as well?”

    Though they are talking about such an important matter So is always thinking of Soo. How can he get her to stay by his side forever and ever so he can protect her and love her. This man is for sure a keeper. He states that if he is able to gain the heart of the one he loves he will fight to sit on the throne. Yeon Hwa can’t believe his words.

    Soo and Wook

    Screen%20Shot%202016-10-05%20at%2010.06.

    As she hurries off she runs into Wook. The scene between these two had a very interesting dynamic. Although we later find out this is all an “act” (I put this in inverted commas as I am not convinced by this all being a double cross) but what are Wook’s TRUE intentions. He starts off by asking her where she is going in such a hurry. She follows what the King told her an states she’s off to get him tea. SMART MOVE SOO GOOD JOB! Then he changes the topic and asks about the marriage proposal between her and So. Soo is about to explain herself but realises she can’t waste time and says she has to leave to get more tea. GOOD JOB SOO YET AGAIN!!! 

    Wook then gets straight to the point and asks “Has the king passed away? I’m worried about him.” 

    Are you really Wook?

    The layers which KHN is able to portray as Wook is incredible. After he asks this he shows the smallest smirk. Am I going crazy seeing things or is Wook the crazy one right now…

    Soo thinks back to the King’s words and does not sway. YESSSSS!!! Instead she asks him if he wants to be King. He uses the reason that he needs to protect her and the ones he loves inside the palace and thus yea he requires power and in order to gain that he will need the throne. This is his reason to want to be King.

    “For your sake, I will become King.”

    I’m not sure if I believe that. Ever since seeing the true face of Wook I can’t tell if he’s playing me or not. Like are you tryna double cross or are you being serious? Which one is it?

    He tells her his plan to commit treason and grabs her telling her to speak of this to anyone.Then using his mind trick convincing methods tries to get an answer out of her BUT THANK THE LORD she didn’t cave in. I am so proud of her! Finally she’s using her head and not letting her heart sway her. You thought you could string her along like a puppet. Not a chance Wook. The disappointment in his face is very evident.

    Woo Hee and Baek Ah

    Screen%20Shot%202016-10-05%20at%2010.14.

    Woo Hee tells him he has ruined everything and is furious he got in the way. He says that she is a scary girl and asks her why she did it. He withheld his identity from her and so she withheld hers from him. That’s pretty fair but man this couple I LOVE THEM SO MUCH PLEASE KEEP THEM SAFE!

    She tells him that his father killed her entire family. Every last one of them and she’s the only one left.

    “Is this why you have scars on your wrist? Because of my father?”

    Baek Ah like So is so understanding. They place themselves in vulnerable situations to protect the ones they love I cannot even. He then hugs her and although she tries to push him away he won’t let her. My heart is weak.

    The King's Death

    In his last dying breath although surrounded by 2 of his wives the name he speaks is Lady Oh’s. Till the very end he was only thinking of her.

    Queen Yoo looks really pained and upset when she realises he has passed. Maybe she was capable of love and she really whole heartedly loved him even though he didn’t love her. Do I feel sorry for her? No not really cause she needs a taste of her own medicine.

    Wook's True Face

    The scene between Yeon Hwa and Wook really brought out the most inner thoughts of Wook. As him and Yeon Hwa are now in debt to each other he is unafraid to show his true face to her. And man am I getting the chills from watching how calculative and clever he really is. The kind and perfect facade has faded from him completely. He has absolutely no chill.

    “You have no fear.”

    He says to Yeon Hwa which I find rather ironic because right now it looks like YOU have NO FEAR WOOK!

    He has already thought out his every move very carefully and fabricated such an amazing double cross. Now that is f****** scary and shows that you have no bloody fear. You have devised you plan so well that even your sister does not know what your TRUE INTENTIONS are.

    “I am prioritizing. Who would be more advantageous to attack first? The Crown Prince or my third brother?”

    This was beyond chills down my spine. The depth which Wook thinks at is on another level. We has thought his sister was the real deal but nah uh we didn’t see this whole new face of Wook back then. He is beyond calculative and sinister with his moves. He thinks of all possible scenarios and which would get him to his final destination the fastest. To me Wook is definitely the most dangerous character right now in terms of mentality, skill and determination. I love it cause it’s getting so interesting.

     

    “The thing that worries me now is the betrayal of one person…”

    After Wook says this we have a shot of Soo in front of the throne. Funny how you say that Wook because last time I checked you were the one who betrayed her first. Haven’t you heard? Karma can be a real b****.

    The Throne: Soo and So

    Like all the previous scenes this was equally if not more interesting. Soo talks about her fear and distaste for the throne. She says the King threw away the woman he loved to protect it and brothers fight to try and win it. She then asks So that even if they fight that he won’t hurt Wook right. Clearly she is still worried about him despite all his actions. She is basically begging So to not hurt Wook. And So being the person that he is agrees because he is doing it for her. Even though he said he doesn’t want Wook to die the main reason and drive is because she asked this of him and he will give her whatever she wants. Soo you need to start protecting So again you have no idea the things he has risked for you. 

    I know I said that So has no weaknesses and I think I was wrong. He has weaknesses but his love for her overcomes anything and everything. Unlike Wook. To So, Soo is his everything. Even if it means losing everything else he will do it for her. My lord this man is a rare gem.

    So goes to see his father one last time. He reminisces of the time The King came to visit him and gifted him a mask. Although they did not speak it was his father’s gesture of love towards him. I also noticed that it is the mask that he wears to battles is this significant that he sees this mask as a symbol of the King when he steps on the battlefield? Just my take on it. I found it rather interesting. The happiness on So’s face when he realised that his father had visited was like a little boy who got the greatest gift that he ever wanted. I honestly wish we saw more of this affection between the two. I am glad they had a good relationship even though it was filled with much hardship. The love he gave So is possibly one of the things that kept him going. We can see the utter despair and pain that So feels and yet again another person who is dear to him taken from him.

    THE FIGHT!

    This sequence was quite intense and you can see the worry in Soo’s eyes as she watches these 2 brothers that she has gotten way too close to fight each other for the seat which she fears. Wook and So went all out. They looked like animals fighting to mark their territory. The intensity in their eyes was like WOAHHHHHH! The fight sequence was amazing and well choreographed. As a person that enjoys action films I was rather satisfied.

    The Crown Prince arrives and Wook double crossing Yo is revealed.

    “You’re going to betray me now?”

    “We were never on the same side, so it is not betrayal.”

    We find out Wook had sent Crown Prince a letter about his plan. Funny… Rewind to when Wook was talking to his sister and contemplating who he should turn on so he has a better chance of getting the throne. I believe he calculated and devised all this and it is all part of his whole grand master plan. Due to the complexity of his character and many hidden traits I do not believe it was a double cross from the very beginning. Like he said if he can’t change the situation then he would have to change himself and this is him showing us that he can change his position and himself to benefit from the situation. He is one smart cookie. I love it and I hate it. 

    Tears are shed after the news that the King has passed and the Crown Prince becomes King.

    Side Note: Queen Yoo’s hair turned white rather fast… unless she was wearing a wig… But she doesn’t cause we’ve seen her hair undone when she bathes. Guess her stress levels have hit the peak.

    Screen%20Shot%202016-10-05%20at%2012.47.

     

    Is it over? Wook and Soo

    I think till the very end Soo wanted to believe in Wook but time and time again he has broken promises and done many questionable things. This deceitful act that he put up was the final straw. Wook has grown a rather large ego and is not pleased that she went to So in the end. Idk what you were expecting man but when you play the evil character people tend to distance themselves away from you. That’s just what normal people do.

    “You have changed. You are not the person I once knew.”

    DAMN STRAIGHT HE ISN’T! Yes girl you are on fire this episode. *claps like a crazy seal*

    Wook asks if she did not care whether he died or not and finds out that she begged So to spare his life. I think this makes his blood boil. She cared for him greatly and was always loyal to him can he say that he did the same for her? I don't think so.

    Soo gives Wook one last test and tells him that she is ready to leave Songak with him. But he denies her.

    “You said you were doing this for me. You are fooling yourself.”

    Man Soo really knows what’s up this episode I am just beyond happy right now. 

    Wook good luck with trying to get her back because lemme tell you now boy it ain’t happening. You might have made the right moves for your path to the throne but your moves to her heart went out of whack went you turned your back on her and betrayed. Remember this feeling cause it will linger within you for a long time.

    FIGHT! 2 So and Yo

    Once again So removes another burden from his brothers by stepping in to try and stop Yo, knowing very well it could result in him “killing” his own brother. Wook looked so ready to end Yo with that bow and arrow. The irony of all this is that Yo was the one that taught him how to never miss a target and now Yo himself is standing in his crosshairs. But So stops him telling him to not hunt him like an animal. Even till this point having being treated like s*** by Yo he still remains humane and does not act out of revenge. Jung comes along and says that he can stop it but yet again So stops him asking him if he can uphold the burden if he ends up killing his brother stating that Yo is after all his hyung. Irony yet again since he’s also YOUR older brother So. 

    So steps in and attempts to stop Yo without drawing his sword but to no avail. Yo asks him if he would stop if So were in his position. So’s sword stabs Yo’s chest on the right hand side. I’m not sure if he had armour in that area but I’m pretty sure he did because So pushed Yo back with force and the sword didn’t go straight through him. Yo suddenly swipes So sword out of the way and with his fighting reflexes So slashes Yo’s chest. Yo falls back and off the edge of the cliff. So has his hand out but it’s too late. And at this point I was staring at the screen yelling NOOOOOO!!! Not because Yo “died” but because So had yet another burden to live with. He took it upon himself to carry this burden to protect his brothers. I don’t know anyone more selfless than him. He constantly puts himself through pain and torture for those that do not appreciate him.

    SOSOO SAILING!

    This final scene had me cheering at the top of my lungs. YESSSSSSS!!! FINALLY!!! She is comforting him. Ever since the time she asked him why he killed people I think So has come to realise Soo is the only person that truly understand him. He calls her out to confess to her something he is guilty of doing and that it is not morally right. He tells her cause he believes she’s the only one who will understand and he is not wrong.The remorse and pain that he feels is portrayed too well by LJK it’s like is this an actor or is this the actual person???

    Soo does not say anything but simply embraces him while he cries. LOVE IT! LOVE IT SO FREAKING MUCH! FINALLY! IS THE SHIP GONNA SAIL SMOOTHLY OR IS IT GONNA RUN INTO A FEW MORE CHOPPY STORMS AND ICEBERGS????

    My lord I had so much I want to say. This episode is definitely my favourite episode so far. I was not very pleased after episode 12 cause man that episode pissed me off. I was so mad I couldn’t bring myself to write a review for it I apologise. But that episode really made my blood boil. This episode however was SOOOOO FREAKING INTERESTING and ENGAGING. I loved every moment of it. Man the best part about this was seeing the many memes of Yo's hair style. Like I am dying from laughter.

    I apologise for the long post again but I just wanted to put all my thoughts out there and share them with you guys :) Happy reading and I’d love to hear your thoughts too! I’m so excited for next week. I honestly was worried I’d get bored but man this is like the greatest rollercoaster ride of all time! I have yet to back-read like 30+ pages but I and a keen bean hehehehe. Lots of love xoxo
