Oh he's a villain in the making, dear. So that vibe is not wrong. Character like Wook is much more interesting as a villain and bad guy then Yo who down right hateful but actually pitiful. Wook remains in the shadow. He's white but not quite right. He's black but you can't see it. His developments are interesting too. We can see in his changing face and feeling. If you can't trace that, his tone of voice will give it away. KHN is a superb actor. He know what to do and how to say to give that vibe and hint little by little at the right moment. I like KHN since he only got small roles in drama and film. He's good back then but superb now. 

If I'm WS, I wanna kiss HS right there just for being nit disgusted about my scar and touch it gently like it is a precious mark instead of ugly one. 

lol.. i am with you here... hope thats what he must be thinking the but failed to execute it...

and we were dreaming about the kiss on the scare but we got kissing scar with finger tips proper kiss not yet...

[iridescentmoth]

Another way I construed the forced kiss is this is how So is physically silencing a verbal betrayal from the lips of someone who promised she wouldn't.

He's so desperate to impede her rejection that had it been another person, he would have cut them down with his sword. But here he is physically consuming her hurtful words whilst simultaneously trying to communicate just how much he needs her.

Okay, can I just say that I truly miss Wang So's mask, it's only been an episode but I miss that mysterious, dangerous, sexy vibe it gave him, I love his face in it's entirety but I guess I have a weak spot for him masked LOL, I am not making sense.

Anyway, I am feeling better today, after also talking with my sister, she too although hurts for WS also understands HS, I think we will just have to wait one more week and finally she will succumb to her feelings. 

Love reading your comments, I think also reading different points of views one can understand and see things differently, I guess I just love our OTP too much and want to see some good moments with them and also it's been a long time since I've been so drawn to a K-drama couple, they just are so intense, passionate and raw, LJK and IU truly have amazing chemistry.

Let's be positive and see what's ahead of us.

I kind of agree as past couple of episodes I too have been missing his masks .They gave him a dangerous and sexy look and lets face it unmasked he is just too beautiful to look at. So I end up staring at his face when I should be focusing on the show and story  lol

[fuyukoneko]

Hoping that since they said that the Korean drama is based off of the novel and not the Chinese drama, they'll include the parts that were missing from the Chinese drama between the 4th prince and Ruoxi.

Hoping they'll have cute moments like this after So become king and drama becomes super angsty.

 

[hallyus]

Spoiler of the next episode... so sad for Wang So. He risks himself for Hae Soo. Evil queen face tho...

 

I guess she will be exiled for this. I hope she can get herself together instead of believing the premonition she got.

in other words grey ... i knew from the start that the 8th prince will be the antagonist but KHN's own spin made him lovable for the first half of the drama ... seeing him as a mellow and gentle man so in love with hae soo is swoon worthy ... can't help it ... sawry ... i would agree he is a great actor, no matter how small his role, he makes an impact ...  it would be interesting to see how he becomes the villain ... remains to be seen if i will hate him ... keke ... it's his love for hae soo that will drive him to aspire for the crown and motivate him to get rid of the other romeo ... wang so ... looking forward to the next half and the next chapter of hae soo's blooming love life ...  she may have saved the solar system to have 4 good looking and hunky princes attracted to her ... perhaps she was the catalyst that caused the conflict among the brothers ... makes me wonder if she was part of history and that she is just came back from the modern world re-living it (like throwback) ... the formation of alliances is rooted on so's and wook's fight for one woman's love ... imo the burning desire to sit on the throne would give them the means to secure this ... 

[mintkiss]

quick thought- haesoo will regardless be implicated in the plot to poison CP, despite 4th's efforts, and will therefore be punished.  I do not know how she'll escape the death penalty (recall that it was said the servant who gave CP poisoned food - the scene when the king tosses a dead bird at the princes and court officials - in ep 1 or 2 hung himself), perhaps the princes will beg for the king's mercy?  or lady oh will intervene again?  anyway, I wonder if this is when she'll be demoted to the laundry department...

Yes, that's what I've been thinking too, I am very curious to see how HS will pull out of this mess this time. She is the one who brings the tea to CP no matter the fact that WS drinks it, it will still seem like she tried to poison CP and the 4'th prince got poisoned instead so she will still be in trouble no matter what but maybe this will be the catalyst for the relationship between WS-HS, she will finally realize that WS is willing to do anything and everything to protect her and maybe even WW-HS story line will get a definitive doom because WW will still remain all talk no action and she will see that when you love someone you don't find excuses but like WS go to extreme measures to protect them. I don't know of course but we'll see.

Don't worry IU we still love you. 

[mintkiss]

@larinalove I forgot to mention that evil queen was raging about the Damiwon in ep 9. so I suppose this is also her way of getting back at lady oh and haesoo. for these reasons, I'm inclined to think lady oh may step up to take some (?) of the blame...

[millie10468]

Just my rambling thoughts about about comparisons:
 

Spoiler

 

In Ruoxi's letter that talked about when she fell in love with 4th Prince, she mentions 3 occasions:

1. When he told her he wanted to be the emperor;

2. When he stood over her in the rain when she was kneeling; and

3. When he took an arrow for her.

This makes me wonder whether there will be equivalents of this in SHR. The equivalent of the arrow will likely be the poison. However, that arrow scene came later as it was the very thing that made her fall completely (that's when she decided she wouldn't ever forget him in that life). I'm wondering if in SHR, things will proceed almost backwards. For instance, assuming we get the poisoning next episode, there will probably be a scene similar to that of protecting her from the rain (IU confirmed this previously). Then is it possible that what makes her fall for WS completely is when he tells her that he wants to be emperor? This would not make sense for me though since she's terrified of that very thing happening. I can't even imagine a scene where that kind of statement would make her feelings for him stronger; more like more terrified.

 

I'm just really interested to find out how she falls for him because she'll likely write it in a letter to him sometime and I'd really like to be able to mark those milestones as how you could see Su's feelings for him change and grow

 

[inner]

Just came across this....you all ardent fans might have already seen these.  But there's some future scenes at the latter portion of this mv. Sad sad IU face, so it should likely mirror the C-version more or less...

I've look at the second make up appliance. WS looked at HS so lovingly while talking so soft and warm with her it breaks my heart... 

She's creating distance between them but it wasn't bothering him. He just questioning her about it in everyday manner. Like when you ask your lover, "Why haven't you eat today? Is your stomach unwell?" as soft and concern as possible. Sorry for the bad metaphor hehe. He also took a step forward to be closer to her. 

With Wook, it's as easy as breathing air because he is a gentle person initially. That's just his thing: being gentle and caring and comforting. Seeing him triple fold it, just making me goes 'aaawwwhh'. But with WS is not like that. He's not naturally gentle and soft. So seeing him like this is like a gift from heaven. He put so much effort and his voice is so much sexier that way.. The 'aaaawwwhhh' is triple fold. 

Ooohh.. This is breaking my heart! I hope they go well with the horse riding next ep. 

The problem with Hae Soo is that she has not really experienced, how harsh life in the Goryeo period was. When she arrived in the past, she was a lady. She didn't need to work and was respected because of her status and family. Sure, she was entirely dependent of her cousin and Wang Wook's good will. Then she had some pretty bad experiences (witnessing the killing, getting whipped, defending Jung who was attacked), but they were all short-lived because Wang So or Wang Wook intervened. Another example: She could have died for hurting Eun, but she escaped the punishment, as Eun protected her. As conclusion, every time she was saved by someone and since she was a lady, she was treated with respect afterwards. So in my opinion, her bad experiences were not so bad compared to what Wang So had to go through.

Although she heard from Wang Wook, this is a world where you have to kill to survive, she has never really witnessed it as such. She heard it from Wang Wook and assumed that Wang So did the same thing, yet from my point of view, she has not entirely realised the extent of this affirmation. She still sees the world of Goreyo from a modern perspective: a family should be together and support each other. But family was different back then. Actually she could have sensed the difference, when Eun refused first to accept the marriage with the general's daughter. I am sure, Taejo would have had no problem to execute him. The tone of the father and his thread were palpable. 

Although Hae Soo lost a lot, when she entered the palace, she got promoted very quickly so that I can say that she has no idea how lucky she is. Her fate would have been worse: Taejo wanted her to become a slave. She got saved because she had again a protection: lady Oh and JM. Both pleaded for her which illustrates how much influence their influence is.

As conclusion, Hae Soo has been lucky so far because she always had a protector. She doesn't understand what it means: "she is his", especially from Wang So. This means, he will protect her no matter what. Interesting is that Wang Wook never declared it in front of her ("she was his") revealing that he is not really willing to do anything for her. He makes no real commitment. Sure, he gave her a poem or a bracelet, yet these gestures reveal that he is not acting like a real protector. He is doing everything unofficially, behind people's back so that if he is under pressure, he is not obliged to defend Hae Soo. On the other hand, he expects from Hae Soo that she binds herself to him.  

So Hae Soo is still very naive. She doesn't understand the meaning behind "you're mine/ I'm yours". This is like in the European Middle-Age: feudalism. This is a mutual contract, where the lord gives fiefs (land tenure) in exchange for advices, military and financial support. Sure, here it is a little different because Hae Soo is just a maid, however the principle is the same: "You help me with the make-up and give me advices, as exchange I'll do anything to protect you". And this is going to happen. Hae Soo will be confronted with the poison incident and Wang So as her lord will protect her. This is not just a romantical relationship, Hae Soo as a maid and a woman needs protection as the status of women back then were not like today.

Furthermore, Hae Soo made a mistake, after she came to like the princes. She is trying so desesperately to get this family picture: parents are gathered together and the siblings love to see each other. Like Yo said, it is not unusual to kill his brothers or family members in order to be able to sit on the throne. She has this modern thinking: family is the best protection and support, however she hasn't realised that the relatives are the biggest ennemies in this world. I could name Wang Wook and Yeon hwa for example. The latter is trying to help her brother, but her real goal is to become Queen. So her support is only temporar. Hae Soo has not witnessed that in this family, relatives can kill each other. The poison incident will make her realise that. They kill each other or try to hurt each other. In my opinion, she could have already sensed it, when Wang So got humiliated. Sure, the humiliation is nothing compared to an assassination. Yet, she should have realised that Yo had set a trap, moreover he tried to shut her up, when she tried to justify herself. 

As conclusion, Hae Soo is still the Hae Jin from the 21st century. She has not grasped the entire situation: Queen Yoo's greed, Yo's manipulation aso. I wished, Wang So would tell her everything about his past: how he got the scar (she has still no idea), how his mother treated him aso. the reason why she is still so innocent and naive is Wang Wook's behaviour: since he was so gentle and caring, she is expecting that from the others as well. Wang Wook has consolidated Hae Soo's idea that people are like in the 21st century. Wang Wook promised her that noone would treat her again like that, yet it didn't happen. But the fact, he kept reassuring her gave her the impression that despite her bad experiences, people are more like Wang Wook: nice, gentle, caring aso. Moreover, lady Hae was so nice to her. The bottom of the line is, she still thinks that people from Goreyo are similar to people from the 21st Century. Like I mentioned it before, she might have heard, you need to kill in order to survive, but she has not internalised or accepted it yet as truth.

Maybe its when he tells her how he got the scar? Ruoxi always knew that 4th prince was going to be emperor. So, what he told her wasn't important. It was telling her something that no one else knew that showed he cared.

I just want to cry at all of those negative comments ( and it has so many up votes too ) I just want to give her, Jung ki, Ha Neul, and the rest of the cast a big hug. But I will keep supporting the drama all the way till the end, they have their opinion and I have mine so that's it. Let's just keep the positivity going.
