Guest insideMYheart Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 aaahhh...after reading all the posts here with all the speculation/ guesses / predictions of the ending.....i can't take it anymore!!! i'd really go crazy if the ending is they go separate ways i hope the ending isn't sucky just becoz there's a season 2!!!! dun kill my memories of goong that way pleassseeeee.... if there's a season 2, when izzit going to be?? thanx Season 2 will come out in 2007. I will be upset if CG doesn't end up with anyone at the end of this season. It would mean we have to wait until Season 2 to see what happens and the wait would kill me. errr.. what's this 'manhwa' where can i get it? is it in english?

Guest donilpark Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I just watched episode 18 and read an article about the ending of the drama. Apparently, the princess will play a big role in the end. Lee Yunji won't say anything more, but she says the princess is really an ambitious person. She will become the Empress maybe? I do think she is best suited for the throne... And a few things I noted... In episode 18, when prompted to have snack, the Empress picked up the candy, but Yul's mom picked up the tea cup. Seems to show their characters. The Empress takes things as they are but Yul's mom takes things the way she wants them to be. (remember that little conversation about the power of truth in episode 17?) And then now I see that Shin's friends and Chaegyeong's friends are mixing well now. At Shin's birthday party back in episode 5, they didn't hang around with each other, but now it seems that Shin and Chagyeong are quite close, so that their friends got close. On the greater level, That goes to show the way the nobility and the ordinary are mixing together in harmony. Chaegyeong's mom's little lecture before the Empress and the Empress Dowager about why court ladies can't get married seems to run in the same vein. Apparently, the Empress has never even given the subjext a thought. But a lowly woman comes to the palace and is pointing that out to her now. And this, I want to ask other people... The way Hyorin ended up not having any of the tea that was served to her seems like saying there's no place for her in the palace. Chagyeong had a sip of tea in episode 1 when she was in the palace for the first time. And I can't quite figure out the meaning of the masks... The Emperor is so pitiable. Somewhat pathological in a sense too. He loses his girlfriend to his brother, (i.e. the girlfriend betrays him) and then his loses his brother. Then all the responsibility of the Emperor falls on his shoulders. No wonder he is in a bad health. I kinda babbled on... yeah, but these are my impressions.

(remember that little conversation about the power of truth in episode 17?) I noticed this too... To me, when Yul's mom picked the sweets rather than the tea... --- it's the other way around...my bad... it kinda made me think how greedy she is... she's really desperate for power....trying to brain wash everybody she encounters... unlike Shin's mom... I think the eunoch ( sorry forgot his name) needs to tell Shin's mom all the secrets against Yul's mom... why did the last king vanished yul and his mom... He will be a powerful alliance against Yul's mom... And this, I want to ask other people... The way Hyorin ended up not having any of the tea that was served to her seems like saying there's no place for her in the palace. Chagyeong had a sip of tea in episode 1 when she was in the palace for the first time. And I can't quite figure out the meaning of the masks... I don't get the meaning of the masks too.... why is Hyorin the only one who is holding her mask when everybody is wearing them??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shot the Queen vs TaeHwu in close-up too, what are they really trying to say? ~_~ donilpark's observation seems very appealing to me now... especially considering how these two have been behaving... And remember the glance Yul sent towards Kang In & Hyorin? The PDs giving these subtle hints in these last few episodes... It's all about symbolism nowadays in this drama... It's kind of sending message to the audience that this drama isn't about hot young actors/actresses at all, like what some people judged it to be, but the senior actors/actresses in this drama should be acknowledged as well. And the script too... hmmm... And yes, I'm also wondering about the mask, are there any significant meanings behind each mask or they're just simple masks? coz Hyorin's mask is different from the rest.

He will be a powerful alliance against Yul's mom... It was actually the other way. The hand on the left was the Empress's. (if you see closely, you'll see the colour of the sleeve was blue) It's because the grandmother was holding the candy when she told the two women to have it. The Empress saw it and picked up the candy, just like she saw her mother-in-law doing, but Yul's mom picked up the tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andie Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The princess as in Shin's sister? I like her and I also think she is well suited for the throne. I think so too! Among all the royalty she's the only one that seems unfazed with the scandals. She's able to think rationally and with wisdom (too bad I don't think she got this from the spineless King! She probably got it from her mother's side). With her disposition, it seems that she's more suited for the throne than how Shin and Yul will ever be. She knows how it's like to live outside the Palace, see different cultures, but still she's doesn't seem to feel that restricted with the palace life and knows how to forego with royal protocol when she thinks it's not that important.

It's either this is the only mask that fit her outfit or that e rest of them who wore a mask show tat it doesn't matter whether they wear mask or not cuz they are truthful to themselves. while HR wasn't truthful ????? but it stil damn tiring holding it, good for her anyways hahaha But I tot later on Shin gonna fall sick, according to manhwa, right? CG will take care of him and nurse back his health(not in manhwa). ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's becase I heard that this was Hwang Inroe's style that I'm deliberately paying attention to these things. From what I hear, he expresses things not just by the lines, but also with the props and the behaviour and gesture of the characters. And it's called dramatization... I just want to see the drama to the fullest, but I'm not good enough to detect all the meaning he intends to send across... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clairdeluned Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Good morning dears! (I see Rebby ) Shin is going to get SICK?! Anyway, whoever is catching the small details...props to you I definitely haven't thought about symbolism in the drama before. I guess maybe I should start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YA! it's just too darn bad she is born a girl? else she will be king and all probs solved. lOlx! and she travelled all around so i guess she thinks it's time she wants to settle down as a Princess?

Guest XtineZaiKen Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 And I can't quite figure out the meaning of the masks... i mainly watched the scenes with Shin and/or Chae so i cant comment on the other things. However, I also noticed that Hyo Rin's mask was different because she was the only one holding on to a mask while the others seem to have it glued or tied whatever. Im thinking...out of everyone else, she's not ready to show her real self completely. didnt she say during that trip to thailand that Shin has never seen the real her? So maybe, even after all taht talk, she's not yet ready to reveal her real self, from her background to her motives and stuff. my reasoning behind the symbolism sounded so much better in my head. shutting up now.

But everyone else had their masks taped on, so there was no chance for them to reveal themselves at all. Hyorin at least had that ability, she could take hers on and off at free will.
