[Drama 2012] The Moon that Embraces the Sun 해를 품은 달

[Guest flowerboyramyunshop_FB]

Warning

I noted that there are lots of double postings of the same pics or large amount of pics that are taking toil on soompi's bandwidth or letting other people who has slow internet unable to read certain written posts because of the pics.

Remember that it's against soompi's rule to double post pics that are already posted.

Remember to heed all soompi rules before this thread gets 'hit' on by the mods for spamming, etc..  

Thank you

i think another friendly reminder is to minimize numerous post in one page , by posting comments alternately . leave at least two or three post before posting another. this is to minimize spamming .

Kim you Jung (Young Wol)

Moon Sun

Yeo Jin=ku (Young Hwon)

after the first episode, i must say the cinematography is beautifully executed.

and the story line (though i didnt understand much of it) dictates anticipation.  i have no dull moment while watching it. the first meeting of the main two characters is awesome . and peculiar as well. wow the yellow butterfly lead them to meet, fate that is !

EDIT !!

Real time Ratings of the big three  (credit to asian drama org). MOONSUN did have the clear LEAD on pilot episode!! :D

Another amazing drama to lose sleep over. I have not seen it yet, still downloading, but if it is anything like SKKS, then I will enjoy it. Look like many people here are also from SKKS thread.

Waves to leslie! It's nice to see you here also.

I wasn't able to watch it live, but I'm downloading the first episode right now. Thanks semi-fly for torrent links! You're really fast

So everybody liked child actors? I'm glad Now I'm even more curious. But I'm still so impatient to see adult actors... 

---------------------

I read comments at ockoala and here's a possible reason why they chose older main actress:

I’ve heard that due to her illness and being a shaman living in the forest, Yeon Woo/Wol looks older than Hwon after they are grown. Her sadness permeates her soul and gives her a look of aged melancholy. Plus she is sent to absorb the ills of the King so he remains vibrant while she slowly wastes away.

Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me.

Thank you for sharing this ! Very insightful ! ^^

Yes, the child actors are daebak ! Actually they are also nervous at the pilot episode, as i read their postS on twitter.

Congratulations to them, they really did start a blast for the episode.

the writer knows how to introduce the characters. i love how they were presented by using the premonition of the Shaman Ari. which is good. their  appearanceS  were not instant. bravo for that.

BTW, one of my co-mod in the fanpage made a fan art for Young Yeon Woo

Just watch episode 1 raw. Don't understand a thing, but I'm already crushing on the older half brother to the King. He is so cool and I love that the love triangle already started since they were young. I'm going to have a hard time rooting for both KSH and JIW at the same time.

[Guest alicechen]

Episode 1 (HanRel 450p) is up!

Download links here.

Can't wait to start this!

[aisling]

I just finished the 1st episode.

All three child actors are so so so adorable! I didn't expect to be so thrilled by watching the 1st episode but I actually am

I'm blown away by Kim Yoo Jung (young Yeon Woo) beauty. That girl is so pretty!

The author of the novel Jung Eun Gwol seems to have things for a second lead character, right?  In SKKS Moon Jae Shin (Yoo Ah In) was kinda more interesting than the main lead (I mean their characters, not actors). Because it seems that prince Yang Myung is going to be at least equally compelling character as crown prince himself. So prince Myung is a fighter. That means Il Woo's going to have fighting scenes (I hope)! Yay!! Iljimae kickass scenes memories

EDIT:

The whole batch of presscon videos in HD:

^ Is that his name?! Prince Yang Myung?! So far I am more in love with him than the Crown Prince.

Prince Yang Myung reminds me of a combination of Yong Ha and Jae Shin characters in SKKS. In disguise, he is a fighter for justice, but in front of people that know him, he pretends to be a playboy. I love SKKS and I am so going to love this drama too.

Yes, please. That's his name. I bet you're going to write that name very often from now on

You're right, prince Myung is going to be even more conflicted character than Jae Shin. 

I'm curious how Il Woo is going to portray such a conflicted playboy

Prince Myung is like a combination of Cha Chi Soo (playboy) and Iljimae (tortured soul)

He didn't change that much since 2009.

@toGETherONE I open the site but only its connecting it doesnt work..

which browser are you using? did you try to refresh your page after adding the plug-in? if not, try opening another browser page and restart the link. if all else fails, then just try to delete all the cookies and redo the initial step again.

it worked the 1st time i used the link, and that was hours before i shared the link here. again, i use google chrome as my browser. it did freeze once for me but all i had to do was refresh the page and everything was reconnected again in no time.

i don't like dl-ing apps so that site is the easiest access for me.

good luck next time. unless that channel is blocked in your region.

[Guest ERPJ]

Happy with rating in ep.1 .Can't wait Kim Soo Hyun 's appear.Crown Prince fighting

[Guest Anomalous]

Congrats on the high rating! I think it is totally deserved. Besides, the Koreans sure love their sageuks. Will it breaks 20% tomorrow? Maybe go up all the way to 30%?!
