    LCY hates walnut cake. Only Grand Dowager Empress know that, the person he truly believes in so he could relieve a peaceful sleep without being wary of anything. He acted so well that his childhood friend SS always beside him also mistook that he liked it.
    As he gradually steps by step to achieve the ambition he wants, when he doesn't need to wear that fake mask anymore, when he can openly loves and cherishes XF without having to fear anything, but unfortunately at that time she gave up her own feelings & love for him ...
    Acting your whole life, are you tired, LCY ?

     

     

    Just wondering - where did you see this scene? From what raw video I found online of ep 43/44 - this scene was cut.... Unless i skipped too much haha

    Your post is perfect!!!!!

    And it reminds me of exactly why I don't like to watch ongoing dramas....you forget so much by the time the next episode comes out.

    after reading your explanation about the stones and why Hae Soo left...why she didn't tell So.... I was like "duh! Why didn't I catch that!"

     

     

    YES!!! That is sooo true. I didn't really pay attention until you said it. But YES, whenever I watch a drama with all episodes out, I can connect & follow & relate to all the information and timeline....

     

    Whenever it is a LIVE drama, and I'm waiting for episodes, I always forget what happened in the past couple episodes, and have to re-remind myself... and I STILL end up missing on all the subtleties ... and because of this, some things don't make sense.  Only after I indulge myself in re-watching the series once it's complete (depending on my mood ;) ) do I think --- "OHHHHHHHH, NOW IT MAKES SENSE WHY..." 

     

    Thanks for pointing this out. I feel in 2 months (LMAO) when I'm calmer and rewatch all my Soo-So scenes will I pick new things up.

    I think the answer to all these anger/confusion/frustration we feel is from the time warp given to us. We never had enough episodes to show the development of SoSoo love like we did with Wook and Soo. When it comes tumbling down fast, we are left with the damage to pick up.

    I, for one, always have something against time warp dramas. If it it is not done correctly or with sharp points, it is easy to mess up the flow and rush every thing at the end. It is either gotta be really good or really bad for me.

     

    I agree. The time warps were so many and at various stages, that you forget the characters had growth in between. They start and stop as if the people are exactly the same before & after.  

    If they had built up in far EARLIER episodes instead of waiting too long to develop So/Soo, it would have been better.

    I just want to see the ending and hope they don't mess it up. This drama is my emotional drowning pool for the year LMAO...it went from happy go lucky in the first couple eps, to consistent death, to now isolation/longing of love...I need to watch Running Man to cheer myself up :)

    Forgive me, but I don't put much stock in what the Korean fans think either, especially not since the drama first aired and all the vitriol they hurled at it and the actors. It's clear this drama is breaking new ground, it's changing the way sageuk's are viewed. Unfortunately, this may make a few die hards uncomfortable but it's all about adapting with the times. We, as international viewers, are already thinking outside the box when it comes to our entertainment. We're here watching and faithfully following Korean drama's right? For some, that thinking also include Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese etc. Our tastes have become varied, maybe what the Korean market also needs is varied viewing. For me it's all about breaking the mold and this drama is doing that in a lot of ways. 

    Look, I'm not saying the drama is perfect, The major fault for me is the pacing. Wook-Soo should have been more clearly over by now so as not to confuse viewers. The fight for the throne should have happened sooner as well. The pace fits a novel better rather then a tv series as I've said before, but after all this is an adaptation of the novel. So we can't really fault the writer there. I think all the major downfalls of the drama lie squarely at the feet of the editing department. They've a lot to answer for. 

    As to what I quoted, your talking about the bathing scene where we were initially introduced to the Princes? It was gratuitous but not that major a deal. Again. this all boils down to taste and whether one can overlook the few mistakes in the grander scheme of the story that is being told. dunno-crazy-rabbit-emoticon.gif

     

    I also don't put too much stock into what Korean fans think of this drama. Ever since Healer had low ratings there (but it was a GREAT drama and I recommend it to anyone)...I've completely lost faith in their views on ratings - especially when it comes to factoring in quality & depth of a NEW type of story. 

    I do agree with you on the pacing. Pacing & Character development fell through in the beginning, and only now are picking up. Editors, Director, whoever is responsible..... But I Still LOVE this drama LOL!  

    And I have to say, the soundtrack keeps me HOOKED!!!

  5. As a long time shipper of other wgm couples, my advice is to brace yourself for the interviews this month. Put on ur protective gear cuz He is gonna DENY, DENY, and DENY till theres no 2morro lol he might even act like he has amnesia and doesnt remember anything he said or did on the show lol dont get discouraged guys, it all part of the SECRET plan remember?  ;

    ;)

     

    example:

    tumblr_nbuxzhOnH01tggqz4o2_400.giftumblr_nbuxzhOnH01tggqz4o3_400.gif  

    OMG Yes yes yes. I can see your experience showing lol. Interviews and everything else it will all be deny deny deny. This is the nature of media with all Korean celebs/idols. If they are or even if they are not dating/with someone, they always answer vaguely or with a no. It's funny to see what tactics they use to avoid this question. So honestly take answers with a grain of salt and not so literal. Faith is what is most important.

    ALSO be wise from where u get translated articles or interviews. Make sure to verify a source and it's translation. It does happen that some extreme fans of different beliefs than yours would blatantly lie or makeup information or translations. This has been my experience. Keep this mind. Verify sources, and don't rush to judgment :)

    @jann17 - Agree, they need their space and privacy and no pressure :)

  6. Like many of you, I thought I would be okay since I remind myself not too get too attached but who am I kidding? I do feel really sad and heartbroken.  I will truly miss these two.  For 9 months, my "alone time" or "me time" have been occupied by watching them or doing something related to them.  I've enjoyed following their love story and their journey this whole time.  While putting together the video, I realized that these two had so much fun together.  They had done some great and memorable things which had brought them closer and possibly made them fall in love. All those smiles and laughters they shared will forever be in our memories and their hearts.  If it's this hard for us to say goodbye to them, I'm sure it's even tougher for them to let go of each other.  I hope that fate will remain kind and continue to help these two nurture their friendship and love for each other. I also pray that they stay happy and become more successful with their careers....(so that they will have enough money to feed all their future babies!  ;))       )

    Thank you 2Young squad lovelies for always making me smile.......you guys are such an awesome bunch!        :-*

     

    Same here, I've kept telling myself and training not to get too attached, however I still felt sadness at the sudden news. I distracted myself by skimming episodes of Fated To Love You lol. It worked for a while :)

    And u are right, just think of how much harder it is on them! And now they don't have guaranteed time for each other that WGM provided.

    In any case I still love them, and I am giving myself a 5 year period to check in on them and their relationship status (I want friendship and hopefully more) like I did with Yongseo (3 years I've passed with them lol). They will be in their 30s then and more established .

  7. I think it would really help if you also focus on WY's lips aside from turning the volume really high. "chum" is too short and after saying it, your lips are closed but WY's lips were parted like when you're saying the short e sound, OMO!!!! why did I forget my English 3 lessons? XD Anyway, saranghae seemed to fit his lip movement though, only that I hear a ch- sound rather than s- so what I actually heard was ch-aranghae, LOL XD 

    @crazymiss - LMAO u are right. I hear it now. That first "chum" turns into "ch-arangae" for me. Then he says the second chum. I'm still not convinced it is sarangae cause of the "ch" I heard, but oh well. I at least don't feel left out now. Thanks!

  8. I don't know i'm crazy or what but actually i think 2young may be has change their house..the house in the recent ep is not the same one from ep29.

    my evidence is..

    1. their front neighbor house no before is 1203 but in recent ep is 1303.

    2. their hanging photo in the sofa background did change the position if you compared with ep29.

    3. their bed also not the same because i notice there are small mark on the back when wy lean on it in the recent ep while in ep29 it none.

    sorry i don't have photo to prove my word because i don't know how to put one..

    @cnsdlover49‌ - I checked. I think their neighbor's house number from ep29 is also 1303. The headboard in front of the bed is indeed a little worn lol and the pictures by the sofa are slightly off their original angle. But other than this I think it's still the same house. The door number 1303 convinced me :).

  9. I hope I'm not too late about this but...

    I HEARD IT!!!

    i kept hearing him say, "chaa", like sleep, replaying it 10 times. but then i realized i was watching a low quality video.
    so later i watched the HD video and... OMG OMGOMGOMGOMG

    i heard it in one try.

    see you in 2Young heaven.

    I still hear only the 2 chums he says. Lol I feel left out now . What HQ version did u listen to?

    I'm gonna try one more time and then give up. Does anyone have a sound bite only? ;)

  10. As far as I know...they are not allowed to 'meet' outside filming so that the reality part of their reactions is there...like nervousness, yearning, etc and clear gradual progress can be observed....But....new seasons have been allowing them to contact via phone if they want to...so even our couple contact each other often...

    But this pd specifically wants her chosen couples to be real...she even commented hoping that there will be real wedding for any couple coz they are really chosen based on compatibility....i read an article of her interview a while back...she would be really proud if that happens...

    @jann17 - Do u happen to remember where the PD mentioned this? Was this in the initial press conference? I've been trying to find out more about her but have trouble searching in the right place...

  11. What do you think? Did the WGM crew ask 2Young to kiss?

    Please tell me that WGM

    didn't ask to two of them to kiss. I have a whole conspiracy theory going on in

    my head about that day's filming discussion with the PD. 

    PD to WY: So, the last

    time you two met, everybody thought you were going to kiss SY, what do you

    think about doing it at the B&B this week? 

    WY: If she’s okay with it, I

    guess I could try. 

    PD to SY: What would you say to us filming a kiss between you

    and WY? 

    SY: I'm okay if he's okay.

    Then that explains why she was so flustered- she knew a kiss was coming, but she didn't know when. And it explains why he looked so scared every time her face got near his, and yet seems to be pushing for a goodnight kiss from his wife at the end of the night. He was chickening out (again) until the lights went out and he could use the blanket as a shield. 

    So, please,

    please, tell me it's against the rules for WGM to ask them to kiss. Please,

    please tell me that's too much interference and against the premise of the

    show. As much as I want to believe that the show only tells them activities/destinations via mission cards,

    I know there's a little more coercion. (For example, the whole "coconuts"

    controversy, when a writer had a cue card next to the camera, telling the WooJung couple what to talk about). Y

    es, I want them to kiss. Yes, I think they genuinely want to kiss each other. I

    just want to believe that it was more spontaneous and not written out

    beforehand…

    Honestly speaking, it is always a possibility. There is no rule against this. The Adam couple and woojung both kissed. I didn't feel much chemistry with either couple and felt it was instructed. But Leetuk couple kissed, yet theirs felt somehow more genuine. I watched Yongseo couple the most.

    I love wooyoung couple a LOT but I don't want a private moment (lip to lip) like this to be on camera. Just IMO. I think a kiss on any other body part (cheek, head, arm) is fine and comfortable for them to do.

  12. A minority here. *peeking from a thick curtain* *starting to stop the trembled hands* :D
    Firstly, I apologize if the following words of mine might give you bad impression. I love 2Young and all. But let me share my darkest memory lols. no no, i mean, tell my deepest thought . 

    Reading the hope (and pray) for the good *cough* dating news from our couple makes me envy you all for that idea ‘cause I don't even dare to let myself think that way. (maybe its best for me).

    After my sinking OTPs (yes there are more than one) 'swept' me back to reality, I'm now learning how to handle myself not to be too overwhelmed, especially in any ship. Realizing the pain was hardly gone/erased, this broken shipper often remind herself that she is nobody's god nor the world creature. Therefore, I build a wall inside my head (and my heart) to keep me from any attemption to 'cross over the boundaries', my own boundaries and technically, it ‘brings’ me to only live in the present and revolve around reality. 

    That itself enough to influence my concern towards 2young. So, when I finally decided to start to ship them and the love for them grows bigger inevitably, I try hard not to jump into any raw conclusion (especially when there is rumor everywhere), calm myself when there are any opposite opinions, and keep the ‘wall alive’. 

    Although sometimes those things are difficult  to do, they keep me safe and survive in this sailing (aaanddd to prepare myself for any bad or good news). At the brighter side, I am able to enjoy the show whole-heartedly. Who said I’d miss the fun and joy while being part of this shipper squad? ‘cause I do this whenever I watch spazzing moments of 2Young:

    tumblr_theyaregonnagivemediabetes.jpg

     
    Moreover, I really like all the comments here; delight me, and make me more human :P The swoon-worthy pictures/gifs or the deliberate thoughts are deserved to be appreciated. Being careful is different with being sceptical, right? So I’m holding my positive thoughts. In conclusion, shipping/sailing the ship is just fine and beneficial ‘cause there are always useful life lessons to learn, but, be prepare for the unexpected thing that might happen. Better late than never. 

    Wish the best for us and for 2Young, fighting! ^^ 

    I agree. I am the exactly, EXACTLY the same way. I watched Wgm on and off since it started in 2008. I watched/loved Alex & Shinae, Junjin & Lee Si Young (went through my 1st high and low with their dating & breakup)and Yongseo couple (shipped them the hardest lol). I watched bits and pieces of ssangchu, teoksora, woojung, Adam couple, and others.

    Wooyoung couple has sucked me in hard lol, so I am keeping that distance and realistic view in place. At the same time I love them together. Shipping is hard, so I try to stay level~

  13. about battle cooking for these three couples.. so the winner will be decided according to internet votes?

    first place will get world vacation ticket? omooo2.. we need to make them win it [-O<

    wooyoung ahh.. are you lurked here? If you accidentally read my post right now.. then if you win first place, please make sure choose a country with cold weather instead of hot weather for the next trip, arassoo.. :D :\">

    Where did you find out it's an internet vote and world voucher? I'm curious since this part wasn't included in the English subs. Is this info included in the Chinese subs? :)

    yess you are soo right!! I remember especially with taemin & naeun, once, they showed a preview of taemin giving her a gift and NEVER showed that part in the actual episode. they did the same with khuntoria & others & i guess its their way of "protecting" the couples frm fans hate but it works in the disadvantage of shippers because those moments r the most natural & real moments. This is why my love/hate relationship with mbc & wgm producers will never end lol

  15. I understand why that back hug was painful for sum viewers but honestly, both wooyoung & seyoung hate PDA(Public display of affection) and theres nothing wrong with that. Some people r private, & some r not. MBC need to realize that everytime they put 2young under pressure or when their being forced to do something, especially when it comes to touching eachother IT DOES NOT GO WELL. like seyoung said, let them slowly do it by themselves NATURALLY. Just leave them at home by themselves or sumthing and they will be perfect lol 
    My favorite thing abt this couple is how much they take care of eachother. People normally verbally express their feelings & love for eachother by using the words "i like/love/care abt you" but i think actions speak louder than words. The wiping of eachother's sweat, fixing eachother's hair, those simple things r wat make them real. Seyoung and Wooyoung genuinely enjoy making sure eachother is okay & happy and i think that is the most important thing in relationship.  

    P.S guys, be prepared to get more annoyed bcuz once a couple reaches that 6months line, they automatically get pushed to the back to promote the new couples. which equals less cuts, & screen time. Sorry, thats just how evil MBC works :-q

    Yep, I am waiting for them to be the last broadcast soon. And from my experience the preview is always scenes they DONT show or got cut. But they let us glimpse at the comfort level between the 2. Sometimes certain skinship is cut out because it doesn't fit the wgm storyline/image that producer/writer wants the couple to have.

    So even if certain intimacy has been reached, it's not always shown. I enjoy the previews to get a glimpse of these cut scenes!

  16. bladerunner said: PeggyM said: happy2bhere said: I just got done watching this episode with subs...before I go back and read peoples opinions I'm gonna say what came to mind. He "Woo'd her until she broke and now he seems done". Yikes! I'm truly hoping I'm wrong, but he was laughing at her fear nd the apology for rejecting her didn't seem sincere. Look at the gifs above this post. His face is "pained", she is saying sweet words and he looks like it's painful to read...what's up with that? ! I know WY was blunt and couldn't really understand the personality I saw at the beginning of the show...this attitude was more of how I thought he was from seeing him in other broadcasts. 
    He basically said he went from his heart when he didn't hold her hand...meaning he didn't want to (unless I misread my subs...lol). 
    That being said, maybe it was just a bad day...everyone has them. She NOW wants to get close, but I feel like he is pushing her away. If he is doing the push pull, he needs to go a little bit lighter on the push...this episode felt more like a SHOVE...LOL! 
    Thinking back about what he said of his past relationship, I'm wondering if he is protecting his heart....as long as her affection wasn't obvious, he was fine, but once she started to show she was attracted he kind of got scared and backed away. Come back Woo...SY already opened her heart!!!!!
    NOW...let me go back and see if I was mistaken and there is some hidden "something" I didn't notice!!!! Rooting for them, I really am!!!!
