hope there will be moon lovers 2 just like c-version has it sequel

wang so and hae soo meet in modern era 

doubt ljk will take up the role.. n if he doesn;t ws will no be same

[sukbin]

Am I the only one who feel that for the very first time during the entire run of this drama, someone else stolen the thunder from Lee Jun Ki and that is Woo Hee Jin. She totally outshine everyone including LJK but of course, this episode meant to highlight her story and LJK having less screentime, which by no mean that he is less spectacular.

So many things happened in one episode... HS realizing what WS and Lady Oh did for her... What WW didn't do for her... Three men who couldn't stop the torture to their loved ones... All because of the race for the throne...

was WW wrong? Even though WS doesn't have a big family to support, he did everything for HS. WW could have at least stood with WS. Together they could have done something...

there is one question though...why did WW come all the way and then back away? We are talking about a guy who keeps weighing his pros and cons... Definitely he d ve realized he couldn't have helped her if he is supporting his family... Then why did he come? N what made him turn back? Was it because he saw WS?

maybe this is how HS will start to lose her health...she was fully tortured, then kneeled in the rain and then pushed to the laundry department...this would be a good time for her to put things in perspective... 

[pwnkl]

Me:*mimicks Eun, Hae Soo you liar" .. It's no fun at all (just kidding), this whole episode made cry buckets  but GOD! Lee Ji Eun nailed it!  tf says she can't act? this is a moment of shame for the *ehem..*  

Ok, first and foremost RIP to Lady Oh, utmost respect to the Lady who slays evil queen! that's right.. Lady Oh must have lost the game but she won the battle from the start.. evil queen knows that more than anyone.

Wook, wookie.. this is just sad for their household, they were once again.. played in the palm by evil queen  but YH is one wise witch, she sure can play the game.. and finally (sorry not sorry) Wook's ship is about to sail and HS not on it.. he threw her off the shore, her worst nightmare, she's once again been betrayed. Although poor Wook, he can't just shamelessly go to her, I guess this is the reason why he'll fight for the throne.. there's no way evil queen will let them be at peace (just like in YP, the palace is swamp.. a place where crocodiles slaughters each other.) and what's said in here was right (dunno your name,can't keep track) about him probably gonna ask HS to wait over again.. set aside the looming darkness, he is one pitiful being.

The rain scene.so much feels, the most remarkable moment for me in ep 11. Can't explain it and I doubt to find the right words for it, so I'll just wait to read our residents' analysis  fighting eclipse, fighting MLSH:R!

Again.. 

HUGE THANKS!! I GREATLY APPRECIATE THE LIVE RECAPS and TRANS *bows*  

----

Come on WANG SO, don't make me fall hard.. I might jump off the So-HS ship and start my own ship with you  Just kidding, Baek Ah took my heart long before  but Woo Hee gonna steal him away from me *insert So's dialogue -- I might have killed hi..her* 

[millie10468]

I have absolutely no words...and you mean to tell me it'll likely get worse for Su after this? Where is the justice?

So I'm now seeing how So's character profile comes into play here: He doesn't like being kept away from Su because she's now a laundry maid so he takes it upon himself to install a new King. This would be Mu. I'm guessing once Mu becomes King, Su will probably heal him and she becomes Sanggung? After Mu dies, Yo becomes King, harasses Su so much that So determines to become King himself to protect her. However, in order to become King, he somehow has to marry YH...

My question though is: Wook isn't going to be shameless enough to still want Su after this, right? He's the one who betrayed her so I expect him to stay far far away from her and what she's potentially building with the one who didn't walk away. Like, what leg would he even be able to stand on to go after her again, if he did, even if he became King (we know this won't ever happen)?

Also, we keep hearing/saying So's going to change and I just want to go "How?" He'll likely never stop loving Su so when exactly does he change? After Su dies? Before she dies?

I mean, look at his family. I'm 100% in favor of killing off Queen ICantSeemToRememberWhatYourLongAssNameIs, Princess I'mMoreLikeMyFutureMotherInLawThanMyMother, Yo, Won and Wook after this episode. I can't believe Su's 21st century sensitivities are still intact after what she went through. How would she even begin to fault So for whatever he does to secure the throne? I'm really interested in seeing how it all goes horribly wrong for all involved in this bloody battle for the throne.

Regarding So, @12blbl mentioned how Su took Lady Oh's death harder compared to Wook's treatment of her because she's been afraid that she'll cause people's death. I find it highly ironic that the first casualty of her actions wasn't at So's hand as she believed (when she was panicking at the thought that her covering up So's scar will lead to the princes' death) but at her own own metaphorical hand. She handed So the poison, she's the one who ended up being the reason Lady Oh even had to sacrifice herself. Now her earlier visions likely seem very irrelevant right about now. Why didn't she see Lady Oh's death coming? Man, she'll probably be in a pretty bad place in the upcoming episodes...

i think the writer really wrap up everything nicely even if the way is cruel...

palace is a cruel place and HS love with WW come to end also HS acknowledge that WS always going to support her in every way.. WS let HS do everything that she want.. to talk to Lady Oh (he stopped the guard) to plead for Lady Oh even if there is no use.. WS knew HS enough to actually let her do that because in a way she tried everything that she could to save Lady Oh.. WS is the type of lover who stand beside you no matter what... 

but i scared too.... if the writer can do this heartbreaking scene this much i can't imagine the angst in the other half of drama....... because in Cvers the part when Ruoxi and 4th actually together is the most tragic part in the novel.. and my no 1 scene that i can't get over and the most tragic one the miscarriage scene... plsssssssssss.......................... just save my heart.................................................

Our caped crusader to the rescue 

Spoiler

Our sails are billowing and our ship is ready to sail....  Love how she drew strength from his presence beside her. 

 

Will come back later on my thoughts on this EPIC episode. 

Spoiler

 

Last but not least let me just say 'Bravo' to the actress who plays Lady Oh.  Some very poignant scenes of her sacrifice today. 

 

 

 

[GlamGlitzy]

This is a heart wrenching episode. How can i survive until next moonday?! Writernim, why you give us a cliffhanger there?! The rain scene is in the last part of episode 11... Whyyy?????

1. For WW, enough said! 
2. For YH, I know you want to save your family pride badly. Seeing your mother begged and kneel down to the Queen, I completely understand your moves if you want to gain power so bad although it was mean and wrong to hurt others.
3. Wang Eun, where are you? I miss your nags and stuff. Why don't you show your support for HS? She's your friend. Are you busy with your wife?????!!!!
4. HS, now you start realize how deep is WW's love for you. Well, not too deep though. Thanks God you have WS beside you. Give him a lots of hugs and kisses okay!!!

I have always been on Team So but let's just give Wook some justice here. Wang So is definitely courageous but I can't really say Wook is a coward. Unlike So, he has so many things at stake - the mom and even the evil sister whereas So has nothing to lose, he is an outcast to begin with and he has never been the one fearful of death. The one thing that Wook did badly was showing up during the rain and then turning his back on her. If he was not going to do anything and decided to abandon her, he would better just continue hiding rather than hurting Haesoo at her most vulnerable time. Wang So is definitely the man but Haesoo is definitely not the woman. 

I disagree. Wang So has now Baek Ah as his person, he has his family Yoo. He could cause some problems to Mu as well. But the thing is that he doesn't care at all about the consequences. Moreover, Wang Wook allowed his sister to think that she was the smarter one, the one who could make decisions. Wang Wook made a huge mistake: he saw them (YH and his mother) as his family, while Yeon Hwa is only using him for herself. Yeon Hwa endangered her family, she even got her mother humiliated because she had to kneel down in front of Yoo. Actually, there is no family in the modern sense in Goreyo. Wang Wook should have realised it sooner. Yo and the Queen wanted to use Wang So for their own benefit. 

In one of my last comments, I said that Wang Wook was not a coward because he was too selfless in his thinking: protecting his family. In fact he always thought about the future and the issue with the throne. It seems to me that he apprehended the future hence his thoughts reveal that he was afraid of it. But the last episode proves me that he is really a coward because he never tried to find another culprit. He killed the witness without remorse, he could have used her. Moreover, he knew that Yoo was also behind it. He never dared to tell Hae Soo or Wang So the truth: his sister's involvement. He could have explained his position, but no he keeps it to himself. sure, he was afraid of Hae Soo's reaction.

Then he avoided Hae Soo. He never visited her after she got tortured. When he appears in the finale scene, he stops walking towards her. So he wanted to go there, which shows that he wanted to support her but his guilty conscience was the reason why he turned his back on her for the second time. He couldn't be with her. He felt guilty. He left her without giving any explanation. He was not honest at all.

@solelylurking What do you think? For me, Wang Wook is a really interesting character because his motive for the throne is not just greed or ambition. He is in this drama forced to fight for it due his sister but also because he wants to get some compensation that he lost Hae Soo.

Finally, I am curious to know how Yoo will die. Oh told herself that she was happy that someone would remember her... so how will Yoo die?

An unfortunate car accident caused Zhang Xiao to dream about her unforgettable love with “Fourth Prince”.  - wiki, scarlet heart 2

This gives perspective to what this whole time traveling is all about..

I hope that is the case. Meaning, post accident modern age IU is admitted in hospital..close to her death.. she dreams/remembers her past life romance with 4th king WS.. and then ofcourse when she wakes up (dies in past life - you know how when we are falling in our dream or die we wake up) she is back in hospital..

 

Aww.. i really hope they end the series with a hint that she is back in 2016 and well runs into LJK modern character

n wr was 10th prince today.. can' be that he didnt know wat was happening in palace..

This episode has left me overwhelmed full of emotions.  I haven't been able to fully compose a decent thought straightaway because there was so much happening.  I felt so sad for HaeSoo who was waiting and waiting for her beloved to come to her but alas on that very rainy day she saw WangWook literally turn his back on her. Gut wrenching! 

I have to give it to IU on this episode.  She did very extremely well.  I felt her pain, exhaustion and desperation.  When she pleaded with the Oh Sanggong to leave with her, I could also feel her regret and desperation to save her.

I could not help but draw parallels with the relationships between the King and Oh Sanggong and Haesoo and Wangwook.  Today we saw both men failing to save the women they truly loved.  Both were helpless who decides to place more importance to their own family.  

Instead of wavering, I hope Wangwook will firmly keep that path which he has now taken.  I wish he will not be wishy washy with Haesoo and confuse her with any excuses of this weakness.  If he cannot have both his family and Haesoo then let Haesoo go.

Unfortunately he thinks too much, which makes him indecisive and wishy-washy. He can't bear to let go of HS' love and that's why he insulted her instead by calling her a laundry maid. He wants to prevent himself from feeling guilty, which makes him cruel to HS.

The day that he finally let go of his feelings for her will be the day he confesses it to So, which I hope to see in SHR that shows he has finally made his mind up over something.

This weeks episodes were the strongest set in the entire series, and i think the definitive scene of the current arc is the poison tea scene (sorry lady Oh, no offence). 
I just want to say that watching this scene once is not enough, its so complexly layered you have to watch it a few times to fully understand each characters true intentions, and boy DID THE WRITER WRITE THE HELL OUT OF THIS SIMPLE POISON SCENE. 

yesterday i wrote about how Wang So tried to manoeuvre the hell out of drinking the poison, but resigned to fate finally due to Haesoo, it took me a while to uncover the different layers of meaning each action entailed, why it had to be 3 cups, why he had to leave the scene, why he was constantly looking at Hae Soo the whole time. 

today we get the second act of this scene where the writer finally unveils the true brilliance of Yeon Hwa as a character. some parts of the scene initially appeared odd to me, but after thinking about it, every single one of Yeonhwa's actions were calculated. 

1) she poured the tea from CP's teapot (i am not sure why there is still tea left because Hae soo left to get some more, and i am beginning to suspect the teapot that Yeonhwa poured from was not poisoned at all, although that would make JM's character super shady....). 

2)  she intentionally chose to drink from Wang so's cup (this is linked to point no. 4)

3) she pours the tea into her sleeves

4)  bites her lip to fake blood

5) when she collapsed, she mumbled that it was "Wang So's cup" for all to hear

In this case she:
1) removed herself from suspicion 

2) highlighted to the king the need for Wook to remarry

3) pissed off Queen Yo (it was a good show of bravado to demonstrate to the Queen she is not to be manipulated with)

4) got Hae Soo implicated 

5) saved Wang So, the last words she muttered help to send help to Wang So while he was dying. I got a feeling she felt bad for him and wanted to do something immediately to help. 

So in the end she killed a flock of birds without even throwing a stone. 

Unfortunately, and this may not be a popular opinion, I felt that this arch has fully illustrated to the viewers that the 2 smartest people in the palace are WS and YH plus YH is the perfect queen for WS. This is the SHIP that the official narrative wants us to support (it is what happens according to history anyway). 

Although they throw us with a lot of misleading curveballs like the hair pin, the scar make up scene etc, and while many of us (me included) might be impatient regarding why the OTP's ship still hasn't sailed (i guess there is some time lapse in the next episode, WS and HS are separated after sharing such intimate moments, Wang So is sent to battle etc, and their ship ultimately lost its fuel i guess).  

As i mentioned before, the title of Moon Lovers is wholly misleading, the drama is not about lovey dovey relationships, it was never really about WW & HS or WS & HS. HS is just an innocent, INDEPENDENT bystander from another time witnessing a battle of wits between historical characters in the Goryeo palace, and if it is similar to the C version, this is how the drama will develop and this is how it would end. 

Spot on! <3 <3 I have the same thoughts with you in regards to HS' role in this story. This is not her love story with Wang So but how she learns that she cannot change history that will flow the way it is supposed to go. She is simply a eyewitness to the flow of history that she cannot change. 

YH is indeed a very ambitious and clever lady, as ruthless as So's mother in her bid for power and authority.

Evil witch YH wants to make sure that everyone knows that it's HS who has given the tea . I hate her and would to see her being tortured 

Ha Ha YH the evil witch is trying to make sure HS is put to death.. I bet WW don't can't put it together at this point she drank poison because she's involved.. I see she will use her own life to make him continue to keep protecting his family and go after the throne..

YH is d**n smart! she not only eliminates herself as suspect by drinking from that teapot but also ensures that HS is blamed and WW wont be "tainted" by association with HS since he wasnt able to say that he wished to marry HS

At this point I'm wondering what powerful family daughter she has in mind for him to marry because she sure left it out there for the King to think about marrying WW off to someone else maybe at this point the King may try and marry WS off.. Being that he was being framed and now almost dead trying to protect the CP.. Marrying Ws to a powerful family is also protecting the CP..

WS struggles out with 13th.

wook came and say HS has been framed. there is no way out. I should have kept her, see what happened?

Ws tells 13th step aside. I need to speak to wook in private.

it was the empress, my own mother. she told me herself. she send moo the poison.

wook - so you do it to save yr mum, like the assasins?

ws: i did it to save hs. 

wook: save soo?

ws: i hope no one will noticed but yh complicate the situation. i could admit i didnt know that my mum is so prepared.

so wook you must get to the bottom of this. 

wook: i will find the evidence. i will not let soo suffer.

cut to WS visiting hs in prison.

 Is these his favorite words (I should have kept her with me) WW was in no position to keep her being that his wife family has the say over her life.. talk with them about taking her in he never went and spoke with anyone about her granted it may have been to soon taking in a new wife after your former wife death but he could have told them it what his wife wanted and it's also to protect her.. Like always a day late and a dollar short.. WW had all this time to try and get her to his side even if it wasn't to marry her right away but he could have gotten her into his home and married her later.. How could HS be so confident in this type of person and thinks she will have happiness with him..

hs already in her white bloodied dress, lying on the floor, barely conscious.

she saw ws and struggles to sit up.

ws is very sad.

hs: i knew it.... you wouldnt die...

ws said in a cool way: why would i, that was nothing.

hs: did you drink the tea knowing it was poison so that no one will suspect me.

ws: i am not a fool to drink poison to save a girl.

hs: why did u do it. do you think this will make me change my mind?

she thinks to herself: why did you do this, it will be harder for me to ignore him

ws: dun run away. we will make it out both alive. we will see each other again.

hs: u are hopeless

ws: u are worse.

hs: listen to the doctor, get treated. you shouldnt be walking about. you dun hv to come and see me ok?

ws: u and yr nagging. (then he got tears in his eyes) 

Unbelievable,She still don't get it and hanging on to WW every word that he try and save her, And in the end it will be WS and maybe the CP that saves her wonder will she even say thank you..

 You walked away and left me & my heart in the rain...

I keep telling myself to wait until I have my feelings and emotions under control but I'm afraid to let go of these feelings & thoughts I have right now.  I can only go with what my heart saw without subs but there was so much deepness and sadness in this episode.  To much for me to even give it justice...

Watching HS broken, bruised, battered, and bloody kneeling on her tortured knees.  Pleading and begging as the cold rain is falling upon her and all around her.  With no thought to herself focused on one purpose, one person, one life.  In the midst of all of that, yet she doesn't give into her body but holds her self up with arms full of passion and courage...

Your heart is touched when you see the 13th & 14th prince who are broken from watching her agony and can't take another moment fall to their knees and join her in body & soul and even the 1st prince shows his love & support for HS whom they each love in their own way...

She must have felt so lost and so helpless when she glances over and sees WW looking right back at her.  She must have felt as if here he comes believing and trusting in him a sense of relief must have been felt. Like hope had just walked through the door her heart lifted thinking his arms would soon be wrapped around her.  The tears of happiness in just seeing him there watching his every move with anticipation of him coming closer and closer.

Quickly upon a second glace she sees him moving backwards with every step, her heart piece by piece starts to crumble and fall just like the rain.  Her broken spirit and tears are now mixed with pain, blood & rain. For her bleeding heart now knew instead of courage he would pick coward instead of trust he would pick traitor.  He would walk away choosing a different path instead of her.  Where was this man she loved and believed in?  Where was the warmth and safety of his arms that was  leaving her and her heart laying there in the cold rain...

Then when she is weak, tired and worn WS walks forward it was breath taking and in a way beautiful from behind like a human umbrella he spreads his arm like a large black swan shielding her from the rain standing beside her showing her that she wasn't alone. He once again shows her and everyone just what kind of man he really is. He doesn't care about what others might think or might say all he cares about, all he sees is her and her alone. His arms may not have been wrapped around her body but they were wrapped around her broken heart and he gave her much more than protection from the rain in that moment he gave her LOVE.  REAL LOVE...

As much as I wanted to hate WW, it must hurt him so much to see his mother kneeling in front of the evil queen. 

For me the most touching scene :

1. WS silently following HS from behind after getting poisoned. With that bgm, I almost cry.. 

2. WS looking at HS while drinking the poisonous wine she poured for her. 

2. Lady Oh asking the king whether he wanted to stay silent this time again and let the queen take away her child? 

Can I ask.. while HS was kneeling, where did WS went? Touch up time?
