    seungshinl said: Well @mdj101, it is Fortune Telling time !


    The Fortune Teller appears 4 times (that I’ve counted in SLA).  Twice in Episode 8, the first one being quite long.  This is when Hae Won’s husband Joon Hyung goes to see the Fortune Teller.  This scene appears juxtaposed with Sun Jae and Hae Won are harmoniously (and we know what this means) practicing Paganini in the SAF studio.  


    The Fortune Teller appears later in Episode 8 when the husband is in bed thinking about what he had said.  Ironically at the same time, SJ and JH are playing with “Pots and Pans” in SJ’s flat.  The fortune teller’s messages plays in JH’s head again when SJ successfully finishes his concert performance to an applause in Episode 10.  Lastly, FT appears when Young Woo goes to see him to get information about SJ and HW.  


    When in the world of SLA where no words, pictures are wasted, I believe this is a big deal worth analyzing.  


    This is what the Fortune Teller had to say about Sun Jae;


    This guy’s no ordinary guy.  He’s a tree in a bare mountain, rice in an empty storage room, and a magic stone.   Never send this guy anywhere else.  His overflowing energy is blocking everything (bad) from affecting you.  And he will be a big stepping stone for your advancement.  You’ll be climbing up much higher than you are now.


    The Fortune Teller had this to say about Hae Won.


    I see four ranks.   All government positions at that.  She’s the type of person who puts work and honour before men, but the marital relationship isn’t much of a…(the Fortunate Teller can’t finish the sentence because JH intervenes by saying this about his marriage “we’re living in comradeship (friendship).  It’s not particularly good, but that doesn’t mean…I’ve never once thought about having a divorce..).


    To this the Fortune Teller tells JH, trust your wife’s temperament. It’s not necessarily her fondness toward you, but with her personality, such thing (divorce) would never occur.   For her, work comes before men.  Wife’ character is like a highest quality water, she treats work and her honour as her priority.  She’s a person that has absolutely no interest in that area.  


    Just reading the fortune of both SJ and HW we can certainly let our already active imagination go wild in all directions can it not friends?


    Well, I am no fortune teller or interpreter of it but I am aware that fortune teller is listened to and visited upon rather seriously by all sections of the Korean Society even in 2014.  People go to fortune teller to name their children, set wedding dates, decide on husbands and wife, even buying house and businesses.  


    So for those who follow it one could not get a better fortune telling than what he had to say about our Sun Jae.  We know he is a proven prodigy but according to him his star is destined to be so bright that not only he would get to the top of the world (was JH foreshadowing SJ becoming the first pianist President of South Korea?) he would bloc everything bad to his beneficiary.  After all, we even had a tailor say he would become a global star, right @mdj101?


    But is the beneficiary SJ’s overflowing energy really JH? I think not.  The fortune teller told him “never send this guy anywhere else”.  This may be why JH is so set against sending SJ abroad but I think it may be too late for JH.  Since for all intent and purpose SJ is not JH’s student anymore  He is Hae Won’s student.  Did all that overflowing energy transfer from JH to HW when she was given the exclusive control of SJ by Madame Han and Dean Min? And does this mean SJ will block everything bad away from HW?  Is this what the SLA writer is trying to say?  I’d say why not.  Often fortune comes with conditions of what one must do and not do and if you break it fortune will not be kind to you.  Here JH might have had SJ’s fortune when he went to see him but through his incompetence and the machinations of Seo Han Group it was taken away from him and given to Hae Won.  The possibility of how his overflowing energy would block everything bad from Hae Won is endless.  :)


    What the fortune teller had to say about Hae Won is self evident.  She is on top of the world in her profession.  In Episode 14, she says to Lawyer Kim, I would like to think I am unique in my own field.  Kim acknowledges that she is.  So while the fortune speaks to government positions it is obvious Hae Won will not be taking those kinds of positions.  But “ranks (gwan)” can loosely be translated as being important and honourable positions.  In Confucious society there was nothing higher than government rank positions.  But in modern day Korea Corporations have become a palace and court.  I am thinking this is a reasonable jump to make it.


    I find it especially fascinating that the fortune teller specifically said she is fated to have four ranks.  She will wear four hats.  Shall we name them?  I would say Seo Han Foundation of Arts, Seo Han Group, Seo Han Academy (Sun Jae’s school) and the company in Singapore, Young Woo’s father the Chairman asked Hae Won to set up for her in Singapore.  The last company is the one that everyone wants to get a piece of: Young Woo’s husband and Madame Han.  When we combine what fortune teller has to say about her work ethics, her sense of honour etc. etc. no one can blame us for letting our imagination take us to seeing Hae Won beating all her enemies and getting on top of them all. I like this and I am going to stay there :).


    The marriage and love part of this fortune telling business is something I don’t comprehend and I am not going to try.  SLA writers just want to keep us guessing till the end.  But I do wonder, when JH says his marriage if more of a “comradeship”, does that nullify marriage bond in fortune telling?  I honestly don’t have any idea whether we will have a happy or unhappy ending in HW and SJ’s relationship. 


    Lastly, there is another mention of fortune teller in SLA which is Madame Baek.  She is behind the fake instrument distribution scheme and she has put a lot of money into Madame Han’s hands.  She is also constantly trying to bring down Hae Won because she knows HW doesn’t think much of her.  So I have to wonder if she is using her fortune teller power to undermine the fortune of SJ and HW.  You know in saguk, there is a battle of good and evil fortune and fate fighting each other.


    In this I found something interesting in Episode 2 or 3.  This is when SJ was in jail and his friends were trying desperately to find someone to get him out of there.  So , SJ’s friend Justin sought out Yu Ra (Baek’s daughter and a music student) to see if Baek could help getting SJ out of Jail.  To this Yu Ra said something like I don’t know if she could help, I am worried my mother will end up in jail.  In that case may be we don’t have to worry about her getting better of HW and SJ.  And in my active imagination of foreshadowing if Baek goes to jail that is one more benefit for HW’s cause. 


    Oh, SLA, what are you doing to my imagination !!!
