    I am not really fond with her reaction like that. Seriously. Despite she has premonition about Wang So as the King, she suddenly acts like Wang So also would kill her if he became a king

     

    Well the thing is she doesn't know if he will kill her but she knows that the next Gwangjong is a killer that murders his brothers and his subjects. I don't think she fears only for herself but for the safety of everyone else in the palace. We have to remember So has had a very harsh upbringing and he has ruthlessly killed to survive. He has also threatened to kill her multiple times so her fearing him is nothing out of the ordinary. 

    But I also think this is where she tries to "fix" history and everything can go wrong.

    REVIEW EP 8

    So time to review Ep 8. The instability of my emotions during this episode was too much. One moment I’m worried and scared then my heart starts melting and turns into mush and then I’m frozen with my mouth hanging open. Too much happened and it messed with my emotions. Not okay but MLSHR you have outdone yourself.

    We open where we left off. So’s inability to accept Soo looking at him normally. She's completely unaffected by the fact he has a scar and can stare him straight in the eye (the scar is not what she looks at). This for some reason makes him feel rather vulnerable and he hates it. He isn’t in control and the reaction he is receiving is not what he wants. 

    He is frustrated and angry at himself. This scene really reminds me of when Wook realised he liked Soo. At that time, Wook's inability to accept those feelings as he felt it was a burden is exactly what So is feeling now. He does not wish to be pitied or felt sorry for mostly due to the fact that that’s how anyone and everyone has ever viewed him for his entire life. He is clearly frustrated and leaves poor Hae Soo stunned and confused by his unexpected outburst.

    Side note, where the hell did Wook run to. Did he go and chase air? Hahaha I was really expecting him to turn up and stop So or confront him. Too bad that didn’t happen.

    The short scene between Baek Ah and So made me really happy. It’s honestly really nice to see that So has at least one brother on his side and looking out for him. Baek Ah really respects So and is very wary of what could cause him to get upset. “Have I offended you?” and “I thought you wouldn’t like it.” really highlights Baek Ah’s wariness. Baek Ah is so pure like an angel and my god is NJH good looking. 

    So is actually also very well aware of his feelings. But in the heat of the moment was unable to control them. The complexity of human feeling I know it’s honestly the bane of human existence if you ask me.

    The irony is that So would have rathered his own family be able to accept him. I feel like he was frustrated cause his whole family turned away from him but Hae Soo, someone he barely knows has come to understand and accept him faster than anyone else. He can’t quite wrap his head around the fact that she can accept him and isn’t afraid of him but I’m sure in time Hae Soo will let him see that all he has to do is be himself and be confident and people will become drawn to him.

    The conversation after the tea scene between Soo and Baek Ah is adorable. Baek Ah is so loyal to So and I absolutely love it. But poor Soo copping all that bullying and punishment.

    Queen Yoo and Wang Yo are two pieces of work. That woman has no heart whatsoever. She is cruel manipulative and pure evil. I am waiting for her downfall. When Yoo pulls on Soo's hair and So is watching you can clearly tell he's worried. I loved the tension between her and Court Lady Oh. Lady Oh is very smart, she put Queen Yoo on the spot and basically stunned her by saying, “Then should it have been me?” I’m fairly certain that there is some sexual relationship between herself and the King and Queen Yoo ain’t a happy woman about it. Also is Lady Oh pregnant? That'd be real interesting.

    Lady Oh protecting Soo was definitely harsh but it is definitely for Soo’s own good. She sees a lot of herself in Soo and doesn’t want her naiveness and kindness to be her downfall. I absolutely agree with Lady Oh that Soo is rather vulnerable. She tries to see in the good in everything and gets caught up in situations where she cannot handle. Having so many people look out for her is the only reason she’s still alive (my opinion). She is definitely a strong willed and independent girl but the ancient times were definitely savage and without the allies she currently has it would’ve been quite difficult. 

    Yo you’re being played like a puppet. I really wished you would just leave that woman’s side. What has she ever done for you but put pressure on you and put you in danger. 

    We all know this from seeing the trailer. Yoo is relentless when it comes to sabotaging anything and anyone for power. I mean yes I feel sorry for Yo but he chose to follow this woman and this is what he gets but it is definitely not what he deserves. I just want him to open his eyes and realise how his life has been purely dictated by his mother. Queen Yoo I hope you realise that karma really is a *****.

    The boat scene was so precious. “I’m the one who determines how I’ll live.” This line to me is a very important quote which I think will resonate with So. Great life advice for me too hahaha. Thanks Soo!!

    The last 15 minutes of the Ep me had me all over the place.

    The de-masking one of my FAVOURITE scenes so far was truly amazing. It was pure, innocent and just the opposite of everything that the scar stood for. It showed us So at his most vulnerable state and Soo helping him overcome it. She is his strength and light to a brighter happier future. The things she has done for him up until this point have allowed him to change and grow. He is less aggressive and he won’t blatantly just go kill whoever does him wrong. He trusts her and literally gives himself to her, “I can put myself in your hands.” I hope this side of So is here to stay. 

    They got so close like sooooooooo close. If someone had bumped into either of them they would’ve just kissed. I loved the simplicity of the scene where it was just BGM and close-up shots of them. Lee Hi’s OST I need it now!

    The surprise on everyone’s face when they realised his scar disappeared was just so hilarious to me hahaha. Especially his mother’s reaction she’s just like WTF where did it go. When Wook looked back at Soo I sensed a great deal of jealousy. I am still very hopeful for some loving brotherly moments between Wook and So please let them come true.

    It was all cute and lovely when Soo and So smiled at each other. But then it was like surprised! I thought my heart had jumped out of my chest and splattered my laptop screen in red like WTF was that. Way to ruin the mood.

    Then it starts raining thank God! But what does this mean. With Soo’s vision of the next Gwangjobg as So and it’s not a very nice So at that. Is this all to throw us off? I'm also hoping for Crown Prince's safe return but something tells me things are gonna go terribly wrong. Yo you will regret following your mother.

    So the SBS preview showed a kiss scene between Soo and So and yes I am very excited for their first kiss scene but I can't help but see it as a forced on which I do not like. So is seen to be rather possessive and I think this will really scare Soo off. I mean she's already terrified of him cause of the vision she had. I hope he tones it down a notch cause the ship just started sailing I don't want it to start sinking. There will be a problematic situation that will change Wook's relationship with Soo as well. Definitely NOT looking forward to that. I mean even though I don't ship them anymore can they not stay friends. Why you gotta ruin my dream?!?!?! But we see Wook and Soo hugging twice hmmmm.... what is happening. My mind is rather confused. Okay so enough of me ranting hahah. I just wanted to share my thoughts on last night'e Ep cause it was JJANG!!

    If you made it to the end thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much I did writing it. I know it's a rather long post but I love sharing my thoughts and hearing about everyone elses. Got a tonne to catch up on though. 7 hours to go man I am excited!! Get pumped for Ep 9 Eclipses! :heart:

    I found it really interesting when @skxz posted pictures of Wang So and Wang Wook realising their feelings for Hae Soo. Striking was that Wang Wook was so upset that he couldn't control his emotions (sure, it is also related to the incident which was not a happy one, like with Wang So and the birthday party). Both wanted to be alone, but Wang So remained calm the entire time, he thought about the past events and realised it. Wang So who has problems to control his emotions and temper, behaved the opposite what we would have expected. On the other hand, wang Wook was so destabilised that he couldn't stand and cried. I guess, his vulnerability must have shocked him... it was more than he thought, she could have died because the incident was closed.

    I love your writing it is absolutely amazing and you basically covered everything that I thought. 

    Although their circumstances were different when they realised it is also very interesting to see that one was during the day and the other was at night. Wook was distressed and unable to control his emotions and being set at night gives a feeling that he was trying hard to suppress it as he was hitting himself in the chest. The irony of it all was that he looked like he was in so much pain.

    Whilst with So he was sitting next to a beautiful pond in the light of day and when he realised he was only slightly flustered. In So's case with all the greenery and essence of spring it gave off vibes that it was the emergence of a completely new emotion to him. He's so adorable.

    Your analysis of Soo/So and Soo/Wook relationships are so on point and I love reading them please keep them coming :)

    Being the nosy and obsessed person that I am I re-watched the 6 minute trailer to see if I could pick up any new things with the story we have been told so far. OMG this is what I found. Soo's bracelet which Wook gave her :cry: 

    Soo_zps2wbj0pwl.gif

    And Wook doesn't look very friendly or kind in this picture. He has a rather dark demeanour and he's also dressed in black. I don't think we've seen him in black thus far. And like I've mentioned in a post before their clothing is rather reflective of their character and this is not who we know Wook to be. What could have possibly happened. I'm so worried about him :frown:

    1%20copy_zpsjg6manps.jpg

    I am a Soo/So shipper but I can't see Wook like this. It's distressing.

    On a brighter note it is Moonday so excited for tonights episode!! :smiley:

    So a couple weeks back I had mentioned that I thought the song "Fate" by Lee Sun Hee really depicts Hae Soo and Wang So's relationship. So far I haven't been able to find any FMV with this song so I took it upon myself to make one. I have never edited a video before in my life so I tried my best. I hope you guys like it!!!

    OKAY OKAY OKAY I JUST REWATCHED EP 7 AND REALISED SOMETHING. I don't think this has been mentioned so here it goes.

    Okay so after the whole de-masking debacle So storms out and Hae Soo runs after him. Then Wook also gets up to go after Soo. (I cannot believe that I completely disregarded that. Was too focused on So and Soo) When So grabs Soo's arm it's the arm which her scar is on which also means that the bracelet which Wook gave her is also there.

    When you put 2 and 2 together that means at the beginning of next Ep there is a very high probability that there will be confrontation between Wook and So. I wonder what will be said. I'm so excited and scared OMG!!!!

    Since I can't quote your image lemme post is below.. 

    Is it me or the scar is very lightly visible? Or my mind is playing tricks on me.

     

    Well I'm sure that his scar hasn't just magically disappeared because cosmetic surgery didn't exist back then haha. I agree that it is very lightly visible and I think it is thanks to Hae Soo. I believe she is the one that will allow him to see that he can live without hiding behind his mask. And since we all know Hae Soo/Go Ha Jin is a make-up expert, I think she will help use make up to cover his scar not because she thinks it needs covering but because it will help him be more comfortable to show his face. We have to remember that society back then didn't not accept a lot of things and if you looked different you were feared and looked down upon. And from watching the series scars are just big no nos.

    Also, his scar is not just seen as a physical flaw by him but holds negative mental and emotional trauma. So I feel like these are baby steps to help him grow and realise his full potential which is what his scar hindered him from growing. 

    In the long preview, the part where we see him and Soo ride the horse to the ocean, his scar is still visible and I feel like that is later on in the series. By then he may have full accepted his scar as a part of himelf and it could potentially hold a whole new meaning. I'm hoping it will be something along the lines of a reminder of how he is a fighter and survivor.

    Sorry I babbled on for so long. I hope this makes sense :)

    In my opinion, his sacrifice will be to marry Yeon Hwa in order to protect Hae Soo because he needs to be King. Becoming the King will be his goal in order to protect Hae Soo.

    I wanted to reply to your posts about Yeon Hwa. Yes, from my point of view, Yeon Hwa has some feelings for Wang So but she is resolute enough to accept an arranged marriage, if her marriage improves her social status. She can live without love. When I said "manipulate So", I wasn't saying that So will become her puppet, but by turning him into a human, she has a certain definition how Wang So should be. She would like him to have the same goal (becoming Queen and King) and the same intention (reinforcing their position and protecting their family) and to me get her revenge to the Queen Yoo. She wants him to show interest for her, but so far, Wang So has ignored her. The reasons why Wang So is the best option (despite her feelings) are:

    - His ranking, he is the 4th prince 

    - His bad reputation: he can be ruthless  and he is determined

    - She knows that Wang So is not accepted by his mother so that she thought, they have a common enemy 

    - He is not married so that she will be his first wife

     

    Just saw your analysis and I love the theories you have. I just have a few questions and comments to make (hope you don't mind). 

    I absolutely agree that she has had her eyes set on him due to the fact he does:

    - Share a common enemy (Queen Yoo)

    - He isn't married and once he joins the fight for the throne she will benefit from him in every way as he hasn't married.

    However I am still unsure how marrying her it will benefit or help him. How will their marriage help protect Hae Soo? We all know that Yeon Hwa hates Hae Soo's guts. That girl cannot stand the idea of Soo being around so getting rid of her would probably be the highest on her priority list.

    In order to answer that question another will have to be answered first and that is, can someone be King even tho they aren't married? Is it not possible cause if this were the case then there's a chance you won't have children and thus result in no heir to the throne? Thus Yeon Hwa is the only eligible candidate. Hmmmm...

    I have to say So and Yeon Hwa share a very complicated and eerie relationship. I wouldn't say he has ignored her because we have seen several instances where he has clearly shown interest even if it has been very slight. Early on in the drama after she healed his wound he said

    8%20copy_zpsrbuitupk.jpg

    AND he has saved her from Yo. I don't think he would if he had absolutely no interest in her. Real question is why has he done this for her?

    Bottom line from me is I hate the idea of them together. Don't like it one bit. It's not even the fact that they're related. She is just no good for him because she will just cause him trouble and more harm but history has already written itself and it's inevitable for it not to happen. We already know she is taking all these steps to save her own skin and this relationship of theirs makes me very worried for So.

    Just wanted to give my 2 cents to this interesting topic and also had some queries which I hope fellow Eclipses can help with.
