haruhi17 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Awww, HY must've been touched for IW to treat her as a lady by getting her a bracelet. Poor girl, she must have never felt feminine after she left the palace for Japan. It must be nice for her to feel pretty, though she already looks it even as a guy.

MadraRua Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Such a sweet moment. In Woo is a keeper. I hope they end up together. I'm not getting any chemistry at all with Joo Won and the Princess. The queen mother is also about to become a player again. Loved the look on Gwanghae's face when the Ming decided to snub him in favour of her. I'd like to see how she can start interfering with his politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet gunpowder weapons were key to the Joseon in maintaining a predominant navy in the East Sea to protect fishermen & merchants against the increasing numbers of invading Japanese pirates. In response, there was an effort by Koreans to develop gunpowder on their own. Korea first began production of gunpowder during the period 1374–76. In 1377 a Korean scholar named Chow Mu Seon discovered a way to obtain it by extracting potassium nitrate from the soil then obtaining a recipe from the Chinese commodity (OEM) produce gunpowder domestically. He wrote 2 books on the gunpowder. Gunpowder was also the winning arsenal in Admiral Yi Sun Shin battle in his turtle ship against the JapaneseGwanhaegun picks the japchae (잡채) with his chopstick then puts it down then goes for another dish & eats it. The Japchae Minister (Yi Chu) then asked why Gwanghaegun didn't savour his japchae & dare to asked Gwanghaegun for an explanation Gwanghaegun: Japchae (he had to look around in his 21 dishes), are you referring to thisGwanghaegun picks it up with his chopstickJapchae Minister: yes....I had heard that Cheonha didn't have very much of an appetite therefore I have especially pick the fresh of produce (vegetable)Gwanghaegun puts the japchae downGwanghaegun: It has gone limp (overcook)Japchae Minister: What...how could it be limp...this is japchae dishGwanghaegun: Although it is said by you that you have use fresh produce (vegetables), but however not being said that it has been cook for a very long time that it had becomes not be savoury to the palate, the seasoning between the meat & vegetable (yachae,야채) will not be a well balance taste, the taste had deteriorate & will not be deem delicious...My advice to you, how about that you go & seek another alternative cooking method for the dishJapchae Minister thanked Gwanghaegun for his adviceGwanghaegun Queen is Queen Munseong Of Ryu clan (1576-1623). Ryu Hee Bun (Mun Chang Bu Won Gun, 문창부원군,文昌府院君 1564-1623) is the 3rd elder brother to Queen Munseong.

We can still enjoy the smiles In Woo has for the Princess, though. I don't think there is one single scene so far that Joo Won smiles to her!
