[Drama 2016] Moon Lovers ❤ Scarlet Heart Ryeo, 달의 연인-보보경심 려 \^0^/ Soompi Kdrama 2016 Winner

[wanrozina]

Hi I am newbie here. I love reading all the comments in this MLSHR. But for me of course my root goes to WSHS. The bad rating drama in korea but the good rating drama internationally especially in China, Singapore and Malaysia.

LJK IG followers increase tremendously from 400 K something to 1M within 1 month premier of this drama. And of course I am one of his followers kekekeke..... This is really a huge impact of this drama to LJK itself. But he deserved to have a good fan internationally. His acting was superb and well received from his fan. 

I don't personally  like KHN actually even hes actually a good actor. I love his acting in MISEANG. Since then I keep an eye towards him. But I dont really enjoy the love line between HS and WW in this drama. 

IU-so far her acting not that bad. So please do not hate IU. Should support for her as well. Im pretty sure she had learnt something form this drama. 

So guys please keep watching MLSHR with full of love. Accept whatever endings is. Support actor and actress in this drama especially my loved LJK...

I have a gut feeling that the conversation in between WS and YH has not done. It seems like the writer nim is hiding something and would reveal it at later stage. YH definitely would not allow WS pass through easily to get into palace.....must be with some terms and conditions.....hmmmm,

[Yippeun_eonnie]

Me : Hey Wook I think you will be doomed next week

Me : Yo is coming back..ALIVE...he will definitely looking for you after he finished Mo

Me : And Hae Soo will kiss So next week

@cmluv where did u read about the special episode?

Yes ep 20 will end on Monday so SBS has not announced if they will screen ep 20 with ep 19 instead or keep ep 20 on Monday and wat they going to do on Tuesday. 

I have read that the drama taking over SH will only start on Nov 7 which imply that SBS is  very likely to keep ep 20 on a Monday and have a special on Tuesday. However they can still screen some stand alone movie on Tuesday.

I believe they won't announce their plans till mid oct to prevent competitive reaction from other TV stations.

Personally I really hope it's a special

That's right! And when we will enjoy these moments, will appear Yeon Hwa with her fake smile and her beautiful dimples, ruin everything: “What are you doing here you two?”

If i'm not mistaken the reason why they were airing first and second episode in 1 day of the premiere is because this drama is having 20 episodes + 1 special episode. So the timing will be fit.

Review Episode 13

We start of withe the peace gathering ceremony. The King has fainted and Baek Ah has taken a sword to the stomach (?) in order to protect the two people he loves. He pushes Woo Hee and tells her to run. Woo Hee looks filled with regret for not being able to accomplish her mission but also stabbing a prince whom she clearly loves. 

We see that the King has not much longer to live. He is with Ji Mong and General Park thinking about his life.

“What have I been living for all this time?”

“You have founded an empire, Your Majesty.”

“An empire? Will Goryeo last forever?"

Now that he realises that he is about to die he questions what he has done in his life. What has he lived for and has he led a happy life and the answer we know is NO. He did not marry the woman he loved and worst was he lost their child because of another one of his wives. All his life he has been worrying about his Kingdom and doing things which would be of benefit to it in the future. Yes he has been a good King but that’s all he had in his short life. From what we are shown he was not close with anyone. The woman he loved he could only spend time with when she was serving him. His own sons he barely spent time with and whenever they appeared before him there were political or familial issues. His wives he did not truly love because he had only one woman in his heart. This question really struck me because we realise that he too like everyone else in the Palace walls lived rather miserable lives. Him who possessed all this power still felt confined unaccomplished. His memories of his life must have been filled with sadness, tough decisions and a lot of heartache. With all these struggles we see that he feels almost empty.

He states that his "war is over now.” and that a new battle which they have to fight has to begin.

Soo and Jung

Soo is making medicine for the King and she reminisces to when So said that they should get married. I think this is to show that maybe she is finally accepting that she likes him not Wook. Man watching Ep 12 where she just could not shake Wook out of her mind really pissed me off. Anyways she shakes the thought and turns to grab something from a high shelf and can’t reach when Jung comes to the rescue. Since the time Soo saved him from getting his arm chopped off this is the only other time we see just the two of them together.

Jung states he has returned from war and all he could think about was drinking the tea Soo made. That’s adorable. I really like her interactions with the younger princes because it’s so pure and non-deceitful. Like there’s nothing sinister lurking around the corner and I can just enjoy it.

“I will bring you back no matter what I have to do. I am an adult too now."

Spoiler

We really see the the youngest prince has grown up in the last year and has transitioned to being more mature and level-headed. Prior to this we saw that he had no concern in the world and always acted very childish. He’s still so adorable thought, not gonna lie. After everything he says Soo can only smile. I think she’s just really happy to see that he’s grown so mature in such a small time.

 

Then we see Yo, Wook and Won shortly joined by Jung heading towards the King’s pagoda (Cheondeokjeon) but are then faced with a whole army of soldiers who have blocked their path. They are told to leave by General Park as the King has ordered them to go back to their homes and anyone who disobeys will be convicted of treason and killed. That’s quite intense man. All four of them have no choice but to turn away. I mean they don’t wanna die especially since they’re (Wook and Yo) are eyeing the throne. They are the first to turn away. Interesting.

Spoiler

 

We see Soo preparing tea for the King and he states that it smells just like what Lady Oh had made for him before she passed. I am so happy that even in his final moments all he can think about is her. She really was a gift in his life and he did not take it for granted and I think he will regret it even in his afterlife. The King asks Soo to retrieve the Crown Prince as he does not have much time left and states no one can know about his death until the Crown Prince is back in the Palace. I am glad the King trusts Soo so much that he has given her this task but the poor girl can barely walk what do you expect out of her!?! It’s like asking a dead person to speak to you quite a difficult task isn’t it???

“You cannot trust anyone.”

Like Lady Oh’s words to Soo, the King tells her the same thing. Coincidence? I think not.

 

Confrontations

Okay in the next moments we are hit with 3 confrontations. They are between So and Yeon Hwa, Soo and Wook, Woo Hee and Baek Ah. So much was going on but I loved how they edited it cause it really built the tension.

Yeon Hwa and So

So is on his way to leave Songak but is stopped by Yeon Hwa and a barricade of soldiers. They discuss the matters of the throne and Yeon Hwa offers her and Queen Hwangbo’s support to get So into the seat. Man she’s trying to get everyone on that bloody throne. Spreading her bets everywhere so it’s a win win win situation for her. Smart evil cookie.

“What can one do if they become King?”

“The world will become yours. You can have everything.”

“Then can I have a person’s heart, as well?”

Though they are talking about such an important matter So is always thinking of Soo. How can he get her to stay by his side forever and ever so he can protect her and love her. This man is for sure a keeper. He states that if he is able to gain the heart of the one he loves he will fight to sit on the throne. Yeon Hwa can’t believe his words. 

Spoiler

 

Soo and Wook

As she hurries off she runs into Wook. The scene between these two had a very interesting dynamic. Although we later find out this is all an “act” (I put this in inverted commas as I am not convinced by this all being a double cross) but what are Wook’s TRUE intentions. He starts off by asking her where she is going in such a hurry. She follows what the King told her an states she’s off to get him tea. SMART MOVE SOO GOOD JOB! Then he changes the topic and asks about the marriage proposal between her and So. Soo is about to explain herself but realises she can’t waste time and says she has to leave to get more tea. GOOD JOB SOO YET AGAIN!!! 

Wook then gets straight to the point and asks “Has the king passed away? I’m worried about him.” 

Are you really Wook?

The layers which KHN is able to portray as Wook is incredible. After he asks this he shows the smallest smirk. Am I going crazy seeing things or is Wook the crazy one right now…

Soo thinks back to the King’s words and does not sway. YESSSSS!!! Instead she asks him if he wants to be King. He uses the reason that he needs to protect her and the ones he loves inside the palace and thus yea he requires power and in order to gain that he will need the throne. This is his reason to want to be King.

“For your sake, I will become King.”

I’m not sure if I believe that. Ever since seeing the true face of Wook I can’t tell if he’s playing me or not. Like are you tryna double cross or are you being serious? Which one is it?

He tells her his plan to commit treason and grabs her telling her to speak of this to anyone.Then using his mind trick convincing methods tries to get an answer out of her BUT THANK THE LORD she didn’t cave in. I am so proud of her! Finally she’s using her head and not letting her heart sway her. You thought you could string her along like a puppet. Not a chance Wook. The disappointment in his face is very evident.

Spoiler

 

Woo Hee and Baek Ah

Woo Hee tells him he has ruined everything and is furious he got in the way. He says that she is a scary girl and asks her why she did it. He withheld his identity from her and so she withheld hers from him. That’s pretty fair but man this couple I LOVE THEM SO MUCH PLEASE KEEP THEM SAFE!

She tells him that his father killed her entire family. Every last one of them and she’s the only one left.

“Is this why you have scars on your wrist? Because of my father?”

Baek Ah like So is so understanding. They place themselves in vulnerable situations to protect the ones they love I cannot even. He then hugs her and although she tries to push him away he won’t let her. My heart is weak.

Spoiler

 

The King's Death

In his last dying breath although surrounded by 2 of his wives the name he speaks is Lady Oh’s. Till the very end he was only thinking of her.

Spoiler

 

Queen Yoo looks really pained and upset when she realises he has passed. Maybe she was capable of love and she really whole heartedly loved him even though he didn’t love her. Do I feel sorry for her? No not really cause she needs a taste of her own medicine.

Spoiler

 

The golden quartet are together, yes my favourite couples in one frame LOVEEEEEE! They come up with a plan to get the Crown Prince back into the palace whilst So tries to hold Wook and Yo off.

Spoiler

 

Wook's True Face

The scene between Yeon Hwa and Wook really brought out the most inner thoughts of Wook. As him and Yeon Hwa are now in debt to each other he is unafraid to show his true face to her. And man am I getting the chills from watching how calculative and clever he really is. The kind and perfect facade has faded from him completely. He has absolutely no chill.

“You have no fear.”

He says to Yeon Hwa which I find rather ironic because right now it looks like YOU have NO FEAR WOOK!

He has already thought out his every move very carefully and fabricated such an amazing double cross. Now that is f****** scary and shows that you have no bloody fear. You have devised you plan so well that even your sister does not know what your TRUE INTENTIONS are.

“I am prioritizing. Who would be more advantageous to attack first? The Crown Prince or my third brother?”

This was beyond chills down my spine. The depth which Wook thinks at is on another level. We has thought his sister was the real deal but nah uh we didn’t see this whole new face of Wook back then. He is beyond calculative and sinister with his moves. He thinks of all possible scenarios and which would get him to his final destination the fastest. To me Wook is definitely the most dangerous character right now in terms of mentality, skill and determination. I love it cause it’s getting so interesting.

 

“The thing that worries me now is the betrayal of one person…”

After Wook says this we have a shot of Soo in front of the throne. Funny how you say that Wook because last time I checked you were the one who betrayed her first. Haven’t you heard? Karma can be a real b****.

Spoiler

 

The Throne: Soo and So

Like all the previous scenes this was equally if not more interesting. Soo talks about her fear and distaste for the throne. She says the King threw away the woman he loved to protect it and brothers fight to try and win it. She then asks So that even if they fight that he won’t hurt Wook right. Clearly she is still worried about him despite all his actions. She is basically begging So to not hurt Wook. And So being the person that he is agrees because he is doing it for her. Even though he said he doesn’t want Wook to die the main reason and drive is because she asked this of him and he will give her whatever she wants. Soo you need to start protecting So again you have no idea the things he has risked for you. 

I know I said that So has no weaknesses and I think I was wrong. He has weaknesses but his love for her overcomes anything and everything. Unlike Wook. To So, Soo is his everything. Even if it means losing everything else he will do it for her. My lord this man is a rare gem.

So goes to see his father one last time. He reminisces of the time The King came to visit him and gifted him a mask. Although they did not speak it was his father’s gesture of love towards him. I also noticed that it is the mask that he wears to battles is this significant that he sees this mask as a symbol of the King when he steps on the battlefield? Just my take on it. I found it rather interesting. The happiness on So’s face when he realised that his father had visited was like a little boy who got the greatest gift that he ever wanted. I honestly wish we saw more of this affection between the two. I am glad they had a good relationship even though it was filled with much hardship. The love he gave So is possibly one of the things that kept him going. We can see the utter despair and pain that So feels and yet again another person who is dear to him taken from him.

Spoiler

 

I don’t have much to say I just love Baek Hee/ Woo Ah couple way too much. CUTENESS LEVEL 100000000000!!!

Spoiler

 

THE FIGHT!

This sequence was quite intense and you can see the worry in Soo’s eyes as she watches these 2 brothers that she has gotten way too close to fight each other for the seat which she fears. Wook and So went all out. They looked like animals fighting to mark their territory. The intensity in their eyes was like WOAHHHHHH! The fight sequence was amazing and well choreographed. As a person that enjoys action films I was rather satisfied.

Spoiler

 

The Crown Prince arrives and Wook double crossing Yo is revealed.

“You’re going to betray me now?”

“We were never on the same side, so it is not betrayal.”

We find out Wook had sent Crown Prince a letter about his plan. Funny… Rewind to when Wook was talking to his sister and contemplating who he should turn on so he has a better chance of getting the throne. I believe he calculated and devised all this and it is all part of his whole grand master plan. Due to the complexity of his character and many hidden traits I do not believe it was a double cross from the very beginning. Like he said if he can’t change the situation then he would have to change himself and this is him showing us that he can change his position and himself to benefit from the situation. He is one smart cookie. I love it and I hate it. 

Tears are shed after the news that the King has passed and the Crown Prince becomes King. 

Spoiler

 

Side Note: Queen Yoo’s hair turned white rather fast… unless she was wearing a wig… But she doesn’t cause we’ve seen her hair undone when she bathes. Guess her stress levels have hit the peak.

Spoiler

 

Is it over? Wook and Soo

I think till the very end Soo wanted to believe in Wook but time and time again he has broken promises and done many questionable things. This deceitful act that he put up was the final straw. Wook has grown a rather large ego and is not pleased that she went to So in the end. Idk what you were expecting man but when you play the evil character people tend to distance themselves away from you. That’s just what normal people do.

“You have changed. You are not the person I once knew.”

DAMN STRAIGHT HE ISN’T! Yes girl you are on fire this episode. *claps like a crazy seal*

Wook asks if she did not care whether he died or not and finds out that she begged So to spare his life. I think this makes his blood boil. She cared for him greatly and was always loyal to him can he say that he did the same for her? I don't think so.

Soo gives Wook one last test and tells him that she is ready to leave Songak with him. But he denies her.

“You said you were doing this for me. You are fooling yourself.”

Man Soo really knows what’s up this episode I am just beyond happy right now. 

Wook good luck with trying to get her back because lemme tell you now boy it ain’t happening. You might have made the right moves for your path to the throne but your moves to her heart went out of whack went you turned your back on her and betrayed. Remember this feeling cause it will linger within you for a long time.

Spoiler

 

FIGHT! 2 So and Yo

Once again So removes another burden from his brothers by stepping in to try and stop Yo, knowing very well it could result in him “killing” his own brother. Wook looked so ready to end Yo with that bow and arrow. The irony of all this is that Yo was the one that taught him how to never miss a target and now Yo himself is standing in his crosshairs. But So stops him telling him to not hunt him like an animal. Even till this point having being treated like s*** by Yo he still remains humane and does not act out of revenge. Jung comes along and says that he can stop it but yet again So stops him asking him if he can uphold the burden if he ends up killing his brother stating that Yo is after all his hyung. Irony yet again since he’s also YOUR older brother So. 

So steps in and attempts to stop Yo without drawing his sword but to no avail. Yo asks him if he would stop if So were in his position. So’s sword stabs Yo’s chest on the right hand side. I’m not sure if he had armour in that area but I’m pretty sure he did because So pushed Yo back with force and the sword didn’t go straight through him. Yo suddenly swipes So sword out of the way and with his fighting reflexes So slashes Yo’s chest. Yo falls back and off the edge of the cliff. So has his hand out but it’s too late. And at this point I was staring at the screen yelling NOOOOOO!!! Not because Yo “died” but because So had yet another burden to live with. He took it upon himself to carry this burden to protect his brothers. I don’t know anyone more selfless than him. He constantly puts himself through pain and torture for those that do not appreciate him.

Spoiler

 

SOSOO SAILING!

This final scene had me cheering at the top of my lungs. YESSSSSSS!!! FINALLY!!! She is comforting him. Ever since the time she asked him why he killed people I think So has come to realise Soo is the only person that truly understand him. He calls her out to confess to her something he is guilty of doing and that it is not morally right. He tells her cause he believes she’s the only one who will understand and he is not wrong.The remorse and pain that he feels is portrayed too well by LJK it’s like is this an actor or is this the actual person???

Soo does not say anything but simply embraces him while he cries. LOVE IT! LOVE IT SO FREAKING MUCH! FINALLY! IS THE SHIP GONNA SAIL SMOOTHLY OR IS IT GONNA RUN INTO A FEW MORE CHOPPY STORMS AND ICEBERGS????

Spoiler

 

My lord I had so much I want to say. This episode is definitely my favourite episode so far. I was not very pleased after episode 12 cause man that episode pissed me off. I was so mad I couldn’t bring myself to write a review for it I apologise. But that episode really made my blood boil. This episode however was SOOOOO FREAKING INTERESTING and ENGAGING. I loved every moment of it. Man the best part about this was seeing the many memes of Yo's hair style. Like I am dying from laughter.

I apologise for the long post again but I just wanted to put all my thoughts out there and share them with you guys Happy reading and I’d love to hear your thoughts too! I’m so excited for next week. I honestly was worried I’d get bored but man this is like the greatest rollercoaster ride of all time! I have yet to back-read like 30+ pages but I and a keen bean hehehehe. Lots of love xoxo

a remark on the " WW overnight transformation" : 

I agree that the "nice, considering guy" didn´t turn in a machiavellian (or Jago-like) manipulative figure overnight. Maybe he was always such a manipulative guy, but it was not so obviousu till now because the stake was note so huge, as the throne. For example, I recall now how he was talking to his wife about HS ( "she makes me happy, she is refreshing etc.etc").Back then, we were thinking ( I was thinking, though I disliked him from day A ) : at least, this awful Tom-Edison-jr-like* guy has an understanding relation with his wife and he is innocently sincere with her).But what if, those "friendly, innocent confessions" to his wife, were an entirely concious way to manipulate her (knowing her generous character and the guilt -who he himself cultivated to her- she felt about their non loving relation). He drove her to think in the end (as it was her own idea) that she should ask her mother-in-law to let WW marry HS. Maybe it sounds as a wild assumption, but it sounds also plausible.

a remark on  "it was always about him" point: Wook on his visit to HS in jail, when he realized that her first question was "how is the 4th prince?is he alive?" he let her hand go. This expression of jealousy in this crucial moment when HS life is at stake, shows to me how much self-centered and petty he is. WangSo, on the contrary, in this occasion gave to Wook every weapon (WS revealed WW his mother´s plans) asking him to save HS by all means. For me this difference in attitude was even more crucial than the "turning back" in rain-scene,  and  made crystal clear that WS is the "noble opposite" (to use this eloquent term someone else has coined) of WW. And because WS feels/thinks/acts as the "noble opposite" of WW, I cannot accept that he will hold such a grudge against HS  for her relation(?) with WW  like the chinese 4th prince did and broke up with Ruoxi. It would not be at all consistent to WS character ( e.g: with a glance of his father he forgot all his lifetime pain!). But, i have to stop here, as i realized the irony of my comment: I start writing how "it was always about him" where him is  WW, and I ended to  write about WS, because for me "it is always about him", where him is WS.  : ))

min-ju aka fengari

 

*the archhypocrite guy from the "Dogville"

@40somethingahjumma I agree both your comments. Wang Wook didn't change overnight, his selfishness and self-centerness were always there, but like you all wrote it, it was never visible to the others because he was able to hide behind his courtesy, good looks and manners. 

The walk in the snow reveals to us how manipulative he is, when he intentionally made Hae Soo fall so that he would come to rescue her. It looks like an innocent joke, yet it points out his true personality. He used a trick to appear as her savior and to make him look like a gentleman. Then we shouldn't forget that he invited Wang So to live in his house during the ritual (episode 1-4). His words were that since they were born in the same year, he should be nice to Wang So. Yet, he knew that his sister was interested in him. Maybe the invitation was to see how Wang So would react to Yeon Hwa and to see if he could use him. 

I had always the impression that Wang Wook was never honest to his family too. He refused the divorce and the arranged marriage with the point that he wanted to respect lady Hae. Yet he was already in love with Hae Soo. So he was lying to them. He knew that Hae Soo would never accept to marry him, if he already had a wife. Wang Wook didn't propose to her, while lady Hae was alive since he knew that Hae Soo would see it as if she had betrayed her mother. Therefore he never asked for her hand. He knew, he needed time in my opinion. Nonetheless the other reason for not proposing sooner to her was that deep down, he wanted to become king so that he didn't want to lose the seat by marrying someone powerless like Hae Soo. 

But your remark about his comment made me realise that it can be seen as if he was already manipulating his wife there, when he talked to lady Hae. Knowing her generosity and her love for him, he knew that she would come to accept that he loved Hae Soo. Then this makes me wonder if his behaviour (falling for Hae Soo) noticed by lady Hae was just an act so that she would sacrify herself again. Baek Ah was mad at him because he could see that behind the gentleness towards lady Hae, Wang Wook was a coldhearted man. Flirting with Hae Soo shows his duplicity because he never promised anything to Hae Soo, while asking for her affection and love. Sure, he didn't know about the poem, but he clearly knew that his wife was trying to matchmaking them: the night in the library. I don't think, Wang Wook is stupid not to notice it. Yet, he was aware that Hae Soo was just too pure and innocent to marry his cousin's wife. That's why he didn't go any further. And like I said, Wang Wook is connected to snow underlining his coldness, but its dangerosity. A landscape covered with snow looks beautiful, however it is deadly. That's exactly how Wang Wook is: good looking and well-mannered, but he is really cunning and scheming. Therefore I believe, he was already playing a double-game with Hae Soo and lady Hae: Making sure that Hae Soo stays by his side, asking from his wife to close her eyes about the romance between him and Hae Soo, making sure that his family was not aware of his love affair. Yet he had to reveal it to his family at some point (only in the episode 10)!! Yeon Hwa only realised his love for Hae Soo really late. Since there is no thread, no visible betrayal, no poisoning or anything else, his moves don't appear as manipulative as they really are.

@SizzlerZ Yeah option 2 is definitely the best. Leave Wook, YH and everything behind and love in a world without those obstacles. That is the true definition of leave the palace with me and let's live like common people out of the reach of others... How sweet

 

Definitely. I wish there was a sequel is that option were to come true. How WS gets use to 21st century

I am not saying she will betray him just her actions and not telling him about wook can be used against soo and So by wook and his sister to break them up. In the original didn't eighth tell fourth about his relationship to break them up and make 4th let her go. So will think she never cared and that will kill him emotionally

 

@lovesparklys Chingu, this is where the K-version deviates from BBJX. SoSoo's relationship, at its core, is built on trust and honesty. At the beach, Haesoo told So she cared for another. She didn't mention whom, but So's response was just as long as it wasn't Baek Ah. So you're right...Soo didn't betray So in any way, and he'll know that.

 Also, keep in mind ALL that Wangso does know. When the day comes that he realizes who Soo had previously loved (and that day will definitely come), I think he'll actually be even more pissed off at Wook...on behalf of Soo. Because he'll realize that the person Soo had loved betrayed and hurt her in a huge way by turning his back on her...not just once, but several times. Don't forget, So gave Wook information that would have cleared Soo. But what did Wook do? He held onto it instead and almost caused Soo to die. That's not something So will forgive.

King Taejo as a Father Figure to WS & HS

My eyes are getting so tired.  I've watched ep 13 like 4 times today.  Before I get some shut eye I just wanted to say, aside from HS finally keeping her distance from WW, I'm really moved by the unexpected revelation of KT's affection/love to WS no wonder he has more than 2 masks that we've seen so far. We know that he secretly instructed GGP to train WS, now the masks supply plus hidden glance from his palanquin got me.  He loves WS but yet couldn't show his love openly fearing that it would WS even more harm than good (perhaps from the Evil Queen?).  I mean it takes a lot from his busy schedule as the king to go for an outing with JM just to deliver an annual mask right? When WS pleaded to KT about staying in Songak, he said that KT knew better how Madam Kang never treated him like her son.  This shows that KT had been keeping an eye on WS all along and WS knew all along.  He made WS suffer and he kept testing him till almost the end.

credit: Dramabeans

Not only did KT made WS suffer from his fatherly love, similarly, he made HS suffered too when he banished her from the palace etc. He claimed that he considered HS like her daughter as per LO, before he finally told her to go with the flow in ep 12. Sensing his time was near and that he could no longer keep WS under his thumb, he eventually trusted HS with his final mission. When he asked HS to find the CP, he warned her about someone who wanted the throne for himself. That warning gave her the push to keep her grounded and reminded her of the possibility of WW's treacherous intention.  She appeared to waver from time to time, torn between her feelings/trust for WW and what she must do for the King, yet the part about not trusting whoever that asked about KT's situation kept her in check.  That push eventually led to WookSoo sunken ship.  WW's repeated inquiries whether KT had died sealed the deal, and it's all thanks to KT's warning to HS.  If KT didn't warn HS, I wonder if HS would come to realize in this episode that WW had been eyeing the throne for himself, using her as a pretext to a point that justified his intention to kill WS.  HS needed that extra push to finally get the enlightenment that we've all been waiting for and KT had a hand in that. Yes, he did give HS that rug when they first met but IMO, his warning is the ultimate gift to SoSoo couple.  KT somewhat redeemed himself in my eyes last night.

When the MLSHR staff is a WS ♥ HS shipper....  lol

He cannot contain his feels...ha ha ha
 

 

And just to tally:

WS-HS kisses   (on lips)  =        

WW-HS  =  0

♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦

WS-HS  backhug =  ♥  ♥

WW-HS  =  0 

 

WHY? why ?  is Ha Neul (WW)  not getting any ? ? ? 

 

Don't forget about all the practice of LJK and IU for the back hugs and kisses!LOL

there is an eclipse in the year of WS death. So maybe he dies and is transported back to 21st century where he meets HS with their memories intact. That would be better, this time he will have to adapt but hey he's pretty smart and quick. That's better than her meeting with a guy who just  looks like 4th and has no recollection of their love

 

I mean, the man is WS but in the 21st century. His name change to be (maybe) Lee Joon Gi or Kim Wang So, or whatever (like HS's name in the 21st century is Go Ha Jin). He is not the son of a king, but he is the heir of a Big Company. As I said previously that they feel "Deja Vu". They will meet by accident and feel the same feelings that they have ever fall in love. For HS, she is clearly aware that handsome man in the 21st century is WS, while for that handsome man (WS in the 21th century), she is the girl who have been present in his dreams. Forgive me, my imagination moves wildly .... lol ..

Yes and he saw something he like in Yeon Hwa and tried fervently to woo her. This guy knows what he wants and goes for it 

I like the scene between him n yeonhwa, there is chemistry between the two.

@bold:

 

All three brothers get it from their parents..

Father and Mother both are (the trio has all these qualities..we have seen them in diffeerent light but as personality traits are all there)

1. Intense, Passionate

2. Political Strategist ( king is no fool.. if he could shun his love for throne, he used HS well with all sweet words, and he uses WS well .. plus i honestly think, JM must have told king that WS is destined to become king and that alone is the reason for king to care for him)

3. They don't know when or how to give up.. Never back down

4. Upfront .. not sly and shrewd.. ( even with mommy dearest.. she never hides her feelings..and there is never any diplomacy.) .. and that is inherited purely from the mother..not father

5. Attachment to mother

6. Are romantic (all 5 are..as in they know how to impress others)

7. More physical people ( Not the emotional, intellectual types.. like Wook is the thinking type, BA is the feels guy) - these 3 all abt fighting and physicality of things

8. To the point conversations! - all 3 + mommy  ( maybe daddy too)

9. Do not forgive easily as Do not forget easily - good, bad, ugly .. all of it.. 

Will have to think of others..
