Actually that 'bed' scene was before he found out about HS/WW relationship. And YH gets up from the bed after to respond to WS who asked if she's going to betray her family. He never touched her - the camera pans away with the sheer red curtain behind them facing each other and then cuts to the scene with the dead bird. It might have insinuated they did something but I didn't take it as that. Why would he impregnate her (cause that's her goal) before she's actually betrayed WW? Strategically, he should wait until she proves herself before doing that, otherwise it's like free candy. The betrayal scene where her mother asks her to save WW occurs after the 'bed' scene so I'm just trying to be reasonable and find excuses LOL.
I think he would ask her for proof of her loyalty before he gives her what she wants, so the meeting was probably to ask her to get her clan and the other nobles to back him up with the dead falcon incident.

YKW? I am not even sad about the fact that HS left WS..the only thing that is bothering me is that she didn't even learn anything in Goryeo..the writer wonderfully explained HS's blind trust in everyone except WS from ep 1..
She is angry that he is becoming ruthless and leaving him seems like the only solution to save everything..but she is not even bothered about the fact that THE ONE WHO PUSHED WS INTO THAT CORNER IS THAT BLOODY WOOK!!
She let everyone around her take decision on her life except her....
My heart was broken into pieces when WS said "I didn't leave her, she left me"..OMG!! This ONE LINE brilliantly tells about their lovestory from the beginning, that it was always HIM who was giving everything, trying everything and STILL READY TO GIVE EVERYTHING FOR HER!!!
If the version I watched translated correctly the words were even more sad "I didn't throw her away, it was she who threw me away.."

i dont understand.. but in my opinion, everything make sense.. i mean.. HS already decided to leave WS so whatever he does cannot change her mind.. Us, as viewers see in whole, that's why we sympathize and feel sad for WS because we see everyone is leaving him.
but if we put ourselves in the character's shoes for instance, if we see our beloved best friend turn crazy somehow, we would try to stick with them at first but eventually we will realize that no one will change that BFF's behaviour other than themselves. rather than us being unhappy, we would leave them right...
same with HS here, she doesn't know that BA will also leave So, its just that she already decided to leave WS and then richard simmons happens, and BA also decides to leave So for his own good too. and it seems like everyone is leaving So. we cant really blame anyone, its just how the palace works i guess... a lonely seat
I don't understand, am I missing something? Why does HS think GJ turned crazy? He hasn't done anything crazy yet except to indulge in his moment alone with his nasty mother and executing a regicidal murderer. Her love was just not strong enough to stand by GJ, the king. The real monster is Wook and yet she can still smile at him but not at GJ? Go figure, her emotions and logic make no sense. If she had left him for his sake to keep him safe because she was his weakness, it would have been the epic love story that we expected, but the writer got lazy and just followed the C-version.

No. The book was given by Queen Hwangbo. She got it from Chae Ryung. Queen Hwangbo hand over the book to Wang So & said Hae Soo keep a diary written in funny language.
You are speaking about the blue covered book in Hanguel. I think the question was about the yellow covered book he was reading towards the end of the episode when JM was talking to him about letting HS go.

Woow... Where did you get this info?
Can I say, it's so fitting with the drama.. he could hate his first born since he hates his marriage.
The 6 year gap is also could be due to his rare visits to his Queen.. *dare I hope?
I think the thin line between what's real in history and whats in the drama is becoming fused here.. The danger of MLSHR, people!!Sorry, I can't find my source so disregard my comment. I thought I read it somewhere when I was researching Gwangjong and family but maybe I got it mixed up with another king.

HS has never truly given WS a chance. She has held onto her 21st century belief that he is a ruthless person and never really bother to get to know the real person he is. She said she trusts him, but did she ever really? Because she didn't bother to get to know the real person he is, she doesn't understand his actions, him wanting to spend the last moments with his mother or him offing the evil CR. I remember the scene when he told her that the boat was his favorite thing in the palace but he stayed away from it in fear that he would lose it. Yet, she doesn't even understand how scared he is of losing her, hence his decisions.
And what was up with her reaction when he came and ask about Wook? Like a deer caught in the headlights. It seems she had no intention for him to find out and hope he would not. What? It's okay for her to hate him and leave him but he should always be willing to become a 'dog' for her. Geeeeezzzzzzz!!!
Whats even more upsetting is the fact that he practically begged her in the breakup scene not to abandon him. To prove she loved him and not just Wook.
And what's with her not letting go of CR?? Also, what else could WS have done but kill her? She killed his bother, a king. Call her a pitiful servant, whatever you want but at least understand GODDAMMIT. CR's allegiance lied with Won (And don't even get me started on this bastard. WHEN WILL HE DIE), not WS. She would have always been a threat. At least in C-Version RX didn't continue to see Yutan as a saint after everything. AIGOO!! I'M SO STRESSED!!
I agree with you mostly except for her not understanding him. The old HS used to understand him, that is why this episode is so hard to swallow, she is acting out of character and he hasn't changed and is in character. The two has suddenly gone out of sync with CR's death. What happened to the HS at the praying stones after he killed all the monks, she said that in this place one has to wield the sword in order to survive. After so many years living in Goryeo was she really so naive to think that had CR lived she would not poison So eventually? A beating to death was probably standard in those times for her social level. The writer has deviated from her initial characterization of HS in trying to be in line with the novel. Too bad because I would have liked to see the drama differ from the original novel.

If it took Wang So 6 years to gave YeonHwa a baby prince... I am starting to think he is sterile. After many years trying since this episode and nothing. So probably the kids are not even his, but are proclaimed as his. And maybe they didn't do the miscarriage plot with Hae Soo because he can't have kids after all.
In history, Gwangjong was said to have disliked his first son and his son was scared all the time that his father would kill him. Maybe he suspected that his son wasn't his, just speculating at the 6 yr gap.

The book was HS diary written in Hangul. Chae Ryung stole it from HS. Remember when Wook's mother went to WS abt against his intention to get married to HS? Queen Hwangbo was the one who overheard CR & Won talked abt CR to stay in the palace to spy on HS
@lilac_alex I think the book you are referring to is "Reign of Zhenguan" (贞观之治; 貞觀之治; Zhēnguàn Zhī Zhì) is considered a golden age in Chinese history and was treated as required studying material for future crown princes. Under the Zhenguan era, Tang China flourished economically and militarily. (Wikipedia) WS mentioned this book during the meeting with the ministers. Historically, Gwangjong followed Emperor Taizong's methods in solidifying the throne.

this writer tho....
meticulously and steadily builds a subtle nuanced romance based on mutual respect, understanding, and love over 16 episodes only to crash all that hard work into the ground and with three sloppy rushed episodes where every promise/progress we've seen them make is forgotten.
I mean did the writer seriously just send HS back to the same "I made So a monster" richard simmons nonsense that I thought we scrapped ages ago?!?!? This is crap!! I actually don't mind a tragic ending if it's done right but the way this is all happening just doesn't jive at all with the first 2/3 of the drama. Maybe it because the writer is trying to condense a much longer drama story into 20 episodes? IDk but I'm kinda disappointed. The beginning and the end just feel so different.
We aren't given enough time now to really understand the characters changing feelings as we did in the beginning. The moment we started to have multiple time jumps in one episode everything just started to feel disjointed, rushed, and incomplete.
To me it feels like the writer is trying to fit a round peg in a square hole because the characters were different from the C-version and now she is trying to fit it into the C-version ending which kind of leaves our characters at a loss as to how their love could deteriorate so quickly.

I think i am the only one optimistic here..i think they wrap the Goryeo parts in the first 30 minutes the next 3o mins will b n 21st century..
I am not sure now because there is still her suffering and missing So to get through, then there are unanswered questions about Won and YH past actions, and then Jimong is flip flopping about over HS leaving. He tells her to let him go and tells him to keep her with him ??? Will he tell So where HS is from is the big question?

Wow, so many pages of angst and tears. I am probably in the minority but it was better than I expected after reading a few comments while I waited for the Dramafever version. First of all, I am glad HS has finally left, but did she have to rip his heart out and say all those hateful words to him?
She never said she loved him and instead let him believe that she cared more for everyone else rather than him. She won't believe the worst of those who committed all those crimes but she takes him to task about planting the dead falcon? Since when did she become such a sleuth when she was always oblivious to Wook, Won and CR wrong doings. Not once did she suspect Mu was being poisoned for 2 long years and as soon as Wook is in danger she suspects and accuses So? She has been very unfair to So and she better redeem herself tomorrow or I don't even want her and So together in the future, she doesn't deserve him. My heart was so heavy for So at the end when he looked at her wedding gown, I couldn't stop crying for him LJK showed just the right amount of tears and sadness, no overacting and very effective.
Next is YH. I don't like the fact that she is getting what she wants and that the marriage may have been consummated
, but I am glad that she told off HS (she isn't Soo to me anymore) about being responsible for pushing her brother to extreme measures to gain the throne. I want HS to feel guilty because of her stupidity in warning Wook about So, that is why blood was shed and it wasn't So's fault and yet she still blames him and said that she would end up hating him and being disgusted with him My poor So, you are better off without her.
Knowing how calculating Wook can be, he may not have been altruistic in telling So about his past relationship with HS. He was probably happy to do whatever damage possible to keep them apart, so naive misguided HS thanks him.
He just twisted the knife in your supposedly loved one's heart. He probably relished it. However, he may redeem himself tomorrow if they show that he has told So that the poisoning incident was YH's doing, maybe that is why he wanted her out of the room. I hope so, because he no longer considers her as his sister and she didn't repay her debt but betrayed him instead.
WH's death was sad but didn't make me cry, her character in this drama was really irrelevant apart from driving BA away from So at the end. If there was only going to be 20 episodes they should have not included her character and saved some time to flesh out the other characters and relationships.
What to do about Won the creep. I know in history he gets executed for treason but it may be in the latter part of So's reign, but I hope it will happen tomorrow.
I don't think So is the crazy and ruthless one. It is HS who is crazy to think she can live in Goryeo while keeping her 21st century principles, and it is her that is ruthless in throwing So away in such a heartless way.

It just struck me out of nowhere, I think the fact that WY became king and JM didn't know has more meaning than what we expected. So far this drama has amazed me with it's subtle and perfect foreshadowing and I think this is the writer's hint.
JM said he knew WY would commit treason but he wasn't suppose to be king. He said something changed. eh hem - HS as we all know!
But I think there is more to this than shows. I remember earlier in the thread people confirming that the purpose of this scene is to show something along the lines that HS changes everything to the history we know today and I agree but I strongly believe this isn't the only purpose. I have a feeling that her changing everything has a deeper meaning/outcome and maybe we'll see this in the last 2 episodes.
This show has used foreshadowing techniques over and over again and they have been perfect. Concubine Oh teaching HS how to make King Teajo's teas being subtly woven into the scene to be forgotten by the audience only to come up suddenly and ring people's bells when she's dragged back into the palace. CR's deeds being discovered by HS and so much more! I can't kick the feeling that this whole HS changing history is going to come back.
Do you guys think I'm overthinking?
If she has really changed history then maybe when she goes back to the future it isn't the same future she came from anymore. Maybe she hasn't broken up with her boyfriend yet but now she doesn't love him anymore and suspects that her bff and him will betray her, she ends it first and saves herself. A new beginning for her.

It's interesting to see the different takes people have on the photo Kang Ha Na posted. Honestly after seeing those photos I kind of felt at ease. I remember I was still scared after seeing their wedding scene but her image kind of told me 'it's just a drama, no need to worry...'. Those images healed some of my scars actually
Yes, the poor girl is already having hate poured onto her character in the drama, let us not carry it over onto her in real life please. All the actors have done a great job since they bring out all sorts of visceral emotions from us. I look forward to watching all of them in future projects. If nothing else I will recognize them from this drama.

It's Monday. I woke up this morning just like Hae Soo's feeling: Difficulty breathing and feeling anxious. There's something not right about my MLSHR craziness.
I think i have to prepare for the worst. But, pray for a happy ending doesn't hurt.
How about you, chingudeul?
I can't even sleep well. I woke up this morning at 3 am and it is 4 am over here in Canada and the first thing I did was to catch up in this forum. Last week it took me 2 days to catch up after Monday's episode.
I am still holding out for a happy ending, it will happen.
I wish LJG had another show lined up soon so that I can get over his Wang So quickly. I will probably marathon this drama a few times until his next project.

I am happy for him that he is so popular, he deserves it and I hope that he will continue to act for a long time and not retire too early. He is the only Asian actor that I am a fan of because I really like him as a person. There are other actors and actresses whom I like but I wouldn't call myself a "fan" of theirs, I just enjoy their shows.

@antiherofans I remember that the writer's mom passed away when the cast was filming. They had almost 3 months of filming. Probably intense feelings influenced her script.

Although I support Su's decision to leave the palace for many reasons... some I've listed on previous posts, the person I really, really feel for after re-watching Ep. 18 is So. Watching him forced to reinvent himself just so he can avenge the woman he loves truly breaks my heart. All his old ruthlessness coming to the fore as he plays the political game with people more experienced in it than he is, is undoubtedly breaking his heart too. And now of course he's grappling with his greatest fear of becoming a monster in her eyes, all done for the love of Hae Su. The irony is not lost on him, I'm sure. There's a part of me that wishes that the Chunju and Hwangbo clans hadn't pushed him so hard to give Su up... they should have tried to make a deal with him... making the way for him to marry both women but giving YH the higher status. Now he's majorly pissed about having to break her heart again, he's embarking on a rampage. But maybe it wouldn't have worked anyway because he really wanted to be totally devoted to her and not have her share him with someone else. Everybody wants what they want... nobody wants to share or compromise especially when they think/know that they have the upperhand.
It is this all or nothing scenario that I'm interested in. Sometimes it's referred to in the drama as "greed". It has certainly been a recurring theme all throughout the drama but especially in these last couple of episodes. And it's tied to the theme of the sovereignty of fate.
I call it the law of the zero-sum game.
Many of you have been so kind in your comments about my posts but I don't really have any special insight into these episodes. All I've really done is considered the drama in its entirety and looked for patterns and recurring themes within individual episodes and throughout the series. That allows me to connect the dots and make sense of the big picture and where the writer's going. The big picture I see is that nobody can get everything they want no matter how much they want it.
The thing I liked about the ending of Ep. 16 was So's declaration that he wanted to have both the girl and the throne. It was a bold declaration in the face of what he's always been told by his elders that to gain the throne he had to "throw someone away". It was bold of him to eschew long standing political orthodoxy. Certainly I wondered if things would go his way. Now 2 episodes later, it appears that that declaration was pure defiance against the sovereignty of fate and it was always going to be a lost cause. Apparently Father's been right all along... no one can have both. Something's got to give.
One of the great myths of our time... perhaps the great lie... is that a person can have everything. I think it is the great lie often told to women... that they can have everything. A career, kids, marriage blah blah blah. In one sense it's true that women in modern contexts have more choices today than their grandmothers ever did but the reality is that no one can have everything. At least not all at the same time. Trying to have everything has brought about incredible stress to women in our day with the demands of child raising and keeping to a job pulling us in a hundred directions. And I say that from painful experience. The only reason why I can do a little bit of both is because I have an incredibly supportive husband. But to be honest, I don't do either as well as I would like.
There is a similar theme going on in ML. I noticed overnight that many of us have identified fate's hand in pushing Su and So together while pulling them apart. There is also a sense that inherent in love is a kind of greed. To love is to be greedy... in that it is all consuming and all-encompassing in its focus on the object of one's affections. When So only cared about Su, he could be the devoted suitor with no thought for anything else. But now that he is King as well, he cannot be entirely considerate of all her sensitivities lest he be thought weak. He has to make hard choices with larger considerations at play.
I think we saw that first with Uk. When he fell in love with Su, he was greedy enough to set aside his usual consideration for his wife and openly show his regard for Su (as open as a guy like Uk is capable of being). It should have been a hint to us and to him that the trajectory he was embarking on was potentially destructive but those were the early days. It's telling too that Uk has continued to be the primary instrument of thwarting So and Su’s coupling.
So and Su have both been mugged by reality and have been forced to play the zero sum game. It was put to them that So had to choose… the throne or the woman, although for Su it was probably more the man she was supporting than the throne. I suppose she made his job a lot easier by pulling out first but she chose him over her own desire for personal happiness. There didn't seem to be any room for a middle ground. It was this or that, and it did make sense for the throne to come first because there were larger things at stake.
What struck me about Uk the second time I watched 17 was how he saw himself as some kind of arbiter of justice. He just couldn’t accept what he thought was the injustice of one being able to have it all. As everyone knows I'm hardly a fan of Uk but he did have a point. If he had to give up the girl to pursue the throne, why shouldn't So have to as well. Therefore to make a statement about the injustice that he had to suffer, he forced So to make a zero sum choice. A choice that So was recalcitrant about making... one he fought kicking and screaming... one he didn't want Su to make so he refused to talk to her about it.
It may have been a false choice on some level but with the Chunju clan scratching at his doorstep, it was clear that trying to hang on to girl and throne was a much bigger challenge than he had been ready for.
Yeon Hwa put the same kind of zero sum option to Su. "We can co-exist", she said. Well, we know that she had no intention of co-existing but it was a negotiation tactic. Apparently she wants it all too... the throne, the man and his love but she plays her cards close to her chest. However, even if she has won the first round, winning the second and subsequent rounds is not going to be as easy. She herself is now forced into her own a zero sum game. She has to choose between the powers that threw their weight behind her and the King. To get what she ultimately wants, she cannot entirely rely on the power of those who got her through the first hoop. Now she has to bargain directly with the man who put the proposition to her because the terms of the game has changed.
So creates a similar scenario for Won... spill your guts or have your guts spilt... or boiled. I don't imagine that Won wanted his guts cooked so he talked. In the end CR was the scapegoat.
CR worked on similar principle. "I loved, I had no choice, so I did whatever he told me to."
Of course everyone has a choice even CR, the slave girl turned maid. In Won's case, he didn't like the alternative and in CR's case, she wasn't ready to abandon a long-term crush.
As I've said, I don't have any real serious issues with Su leaving So and the palace after recent events. She obviously feels that she's compromised too much and risks being swallowed up by dilemmas she didn't think she had signed up for. However, I have grave misgivings about her leaving with Jeong. Not only because he's a first class self-righteous dill but because Jeong represents everything that So couldn't have... a happy childhood with a loving mother. If she were to go with him, it will be the ultimate slap-in-the-face for So. Jeong may seem to represent a straight-arrow kind of dumb simplicity that will suit Su to the ground in terms of a quiet, peaceful existence. I imagine that's why he's being set up in that role BUT he also comes with family baggage. This is what really troubles me about this particular zero sum game.
It's clear to me that the recent turn of events has awoken a sleeping dragon. Or to use the show's own metaphor, a napping wolf. Time and time again we see that people underestimate So, not only as a warrior but as a political opponent. Backing him into corners and tightening nooses round his neck aren't really that great in the long run. I think we're definitely witnessing his evolution as a politician in the way he triangulates with his adversaries. In a way I fear for them because they've unleashed a powerful weapon that they will have no control over. I imagine that once he starts, there's not stopping him. But frankly, I have a really tough time feeling sorry for any of them because they have brought this largely upon themselves.
Well said @40somethingahjumma I love your posts, you are able to express how I think and feel so much better than I can. This drama and forum has inspired me to try and improve and expand my little world. I want to write fiction, compose music, make videos, paint and draw, learn Korean, travel more and the list goes on... Thank you everyone on the forum for all your contributions. I hope we will all be back after the last episodes for laughter or tears, sadness is halved and joy is doubled when shared.

Alright that's a wishful thinkingNow I suspect Nielsen Korea was rigged
The drama is doing too good to get such low ratings
I don't think it is rigged but TV ratings is an outdated system. They need to follow online streaming broadcast as well for a fuller analysis of demographics and popularity of a show.

For the fans support project video I heard there will be Mass tag to the actors & actress of Scarlet Heart after the last episode. I also hope they could tag the video to SBS. So SBS could see how popular Scarlet Heart is around the world despite low rating in South Korea. And hopefully the cast will attend SBS year end drama award. It's ok if they didn't win anything although I hope they would win some award. But they attending the events is already enough for me
I am not sure that the show qualifies for this years awards because it started at the end of the qualifying period Sept 2015-August 2016 if I am not mistaken and I don't think they were nominated in any categories. I will keep my fingers crossed that they will consider it for the next year awards.

I would rather they reincarnate into the real actors, Lee Jun Ki, IU, Baekhyun, Kang Ha Neul, LOL.
I know it's not possible but I do hope some drama will do this later. How fun it is if a drama actually make the characters reincarnate as the actors who played them.
And just like Nicky Wu who married his co-star after BBXJ, Lee Jun Ki could marry IU. Okay, let's stop, I'm going nuts.
Not a bad idea for an ending. It conjures up this scenario for me. The cast can use different actor/actress names (insert where the character names are).
SpoilerThey are filming the last scene of Soo's death in the arms of So. Pan out after the director calls "cut and its a wrap". The production team is clearing out sets etc. and So and Soo are sweet talking each other in the background. The director yells out to them "when is the wedding?", they both turn around and So says "two weeks on Sunday and we expect everyone to be there".
Fast forward to the wedding;
Taejo walks in to the hall with Lady Oh while admonishing their children to behave themselves.
WW and YH enters while bickering away like angry siblings (or a couple on the verge of divorce).
CR drags Won in by the ear because she found him flirting with another woman and it seems like she has him under her thumb after their marriage awhile back.
Queen Yoo never married and has no children but supports an orphanage sits down beside Yo who looks the epitome of fashion with one subtle earring (hmmm is there a YoYoo thing going on here
)
BH is sitting between Lady Hae and WH looking like a rabbit caught between two foxes.
Eun and SD entertain the guests with a duet song from their Kpop concert while the general beams at them from the audience, he is one of their biggest fans.
The audience settles down as the wedding song begins, it is Davichi - Forgetting You, Soo walks down the aisle on the arms of Mu towards So. SoSoo only have eyes for each other as the say their vows of undying love and promise of staying by each other's side. At the end, So grabs her with his signature one arm hug and gives her a passionate kiss that gets the audience clapping and squealing in delight.
Did I leave out anyone? Ah yes, Jung rushes in late from an action class and spots Jimong standing at the back of the hall with a strange knowing look on his face. Jung approaches Jimong quietly and overhears him say to himself "this is how it was meant to be" and sighs with relief and his smile widens. THE END.

If So gave the Chunju’s an autonomy, what’s there to stop other clans from doing the same?
So wasn’t just exiling Jung because of treason. He was exiling Jung to change the message that the Chunju’s leaving would send.
It’s a very clever move, and not one done out of pettiness. He’s changing it so that its not that the Chunju’s were leaving Goryeo, but rather, So was kicking them out.
Jung and his clan would have left either way. What So had to do was either give them an autonomy and thus prove to other clans he can be rejected as King, or he can exile them, as a means to prevent other clans from following suit.
I agree that he threw out Jung, more out of cleverness than pettiness. After Wook said that they were distributing rice to the labourers as per GJ's request, GJ in turn allowed them to handle the finances but he so casually mentions that he was exiling Jung for questioning his right to rule instead of executing him because he is his brother. It served two purposes, to weaken the Chunju's power and to warn all the nobles that he will not hesitate to execute anyone else who questions his rule. He is going to be one scary King and I can't wait to see what more political machinations he has up his sleeves on Monday

I am happy for him that he is so popular, he deserves it and I hope that he will continue to act for a long time and not retire too early. He is the only Asian actor that I am a fan of because I really like him as a person. There are other actors and actresses whom I like but I wouldn't call myself a "fan" of theirs, I just enjoy their shows.

, maybe it is best to admire him from afar. If I do go would his birthday concert be the best one to go to? he has one every year I believe. I was planning on an April/May trip to Asia, just not sure where to go and what to do yet
