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

[yuhotarubi]

This picture right here, is what's keeping me hopeful for our late ( too late! ) ship to sail, I hope it will take like at least ten minutes of whatever upcoming episode.

 

[gifanchy]

Guys, I agree with what @Gabi Bros said. No expectations! Hehe so that we won't get disappointed in the end.

I may be disappointed with Soo right now but I'm not gonna ship So with Yeonhwa. NEVER. That girl isn't any better.

Like how So is not giving up on Soo and how Soo is still holding on to Wook, I'm not going to give up on this drama either. If it ends bad then screw it, I'll suffer with Yo and Queen Yoo in hell.

I'm going to endure this for now. BUT

SOO BETTER REDEEM HERSELF AND GIVE SO LOTS OF TIGHT HUGS AND KISSES. MORE THAN THE TIMES HE DID TO HER AND MORE THAN THE TIMES SHE REJECTED HIM. SHE BETTER BE THE ONE TO INITIATE THE KISS AND THE ONE WHO'LL PROPOSE TO HIM NEXT TIME.

[atgirlina]

just read that in youko version, they cut out the part where soo said she missed wook, nowww, whose bright idea was it to put it in again in the sbs version? those words belong on the editing floor, not back up in the drama.

You're right about that, but there needs to be a balance. Right now the concern is that the writer is going to drag out fall out of WW x HS for too long and there will be too little time to appreciate the WS x HS development and love story. It should be fine if HS finally gets the closure she needs within the next episode, and officially breaks it off with WW. My guess we will need a week (two episodes) for a smooth and not too rushed transition before HS falls in love with WS. It's going to be extremely complicated and difficult to do however with all the chaos that is about to unfold that will likely take up a lot of the episodes' time.

 

@esma-div

Like Faeriealice said there needs to be balance. I think we would all feel better about the direction of the drama if Hae Soo's feelings were making more progress either in the development of HS's interest in WS or in her love of Wook declining. Either one would make the drama feel like it's moving forward but because there wasn't movement on either end this episode, the plot felt a bit stuck.

Last week when Wook turned his back on Hae Soo it felt like the defining end to their relationship. For me, the natural realistic thing would be for Hae Soo's feelings for Wook to change or decrease - even slightly after his betrayal. Maybe we will have to wait for subs to know for sure but from the recaps I've read it seems like that didn't happen. Hae Soo was still hopelessly in love with Wook, she wasn't the least bit angry or sad. That's frustrating from a viewer standpoint; feeling like we've took one step forward and two steps back.

My questions now is - if Wook can betray her and leave her for dead and Hae Soo still loves him how is the writer going to realistically break that love? If her feelings could survive that trauma, it seems like they should be able to survive just about anything. The writer has a tough road a head making a new convincing end to this relationship.

I dont get it when people insist on romance in WSxHS too fast and get bored without it in this drama. I would love it too, but I enjoy the story when wook slowly change his character, wang so with his charisma and gentleness, even other couple like WHxBaekAh, little prince and his wife, and HS emptiness. I think HS doesnt afraid of WS or reject him. And I think she doesnt love Wook anymore. She just pity her and their destiny. She just 'living' not feeling anything and just 'breathing'. She's too confused and tired about everything around her. I personally enjoy it actually, but not for long time please.. (sometimes we need that to see the good things) Haha.. just enjoy the show

[RoxanaR]

but IU says before the broadcast that her character will be annoying and irritating for us  ( and today was so annoying)

I a great shipper SoSoo  , and this episode make more that dissapoment  ,angry .... I can understand the HS feels but still  I want that So be happy ( with HS not YH)
This drama show us the real feels of a person , don´t wait that all will be like we want and HS can left her love for WW quickly .... this  is drama but not all is fantasy ,like SoSoo shipper I hope that the love line start tomorrow

Hello~ I'm new to this thread, but I've been lurking for a while. Thought I'd get out of my dormant state.

As much as I adore this drama, specifically Lee Junki, I cannot help but feel like the editing for the international version is seriously killing the plot and the characters. Here's a fuller discussion of what I mean in my blog post. (There will be spoilers about ep 12 in the blog.)

Yes, the int version cut off tge goodbye scene so suddenly and threw in the scene between wy ww and yh where yh is already wearing the ring. The person who did the editing for international version should be fired for such a blunder.

Which one is the tallest? I want to pick the great wall eventhough it's not so tall. There's no water under it so it it will reach the maximum pain. But we still need her in next eps so angels fall? 

I'll reserve the helicopter then. Have you prepared the wire or duck tape? 

Too expensive im gonna bring wasted ropes and sack, that's enough for her. 

Angeles fall will be too beautiful, what about just leave her in the middle of Amazon? At least one or two anaconda won't starving until the next week.

[nubianlegalmind]

Okay Moon Lovers, I am here to bring calm to the angst of the Soo-So shippers.

Soo has a role to play. She is not from this time. We are talking about the year 942-943. She is from over a thousand years later. Her purpose right now is to make sure that So becomes king. Let's all accept and receive this. Jumping on the So- Yeon Hwa bandwagon is counterproductive. YH is the reason all of the mess from episode 11 occurred. She is manipulative and at times cruel, not to mention selfish. She is absolutely NOT what So needs. History tells us, they will likely get married, but as we know, marriages at that time were often very political. It still doesn't mean So and Soo can't have a love of their own.

Somehow, I feel like this story is going to somehow affect her present day life more than what is happening over there. So, hang in there chingus!

This is our problem. Let's not expect anymore. Let's not expect that SoSoo will have a great romance, let's not expect that Hae Soo will change her personality. If we do that....we won't be disappointed. And we will be ok.

*still heartbroken for So*

Reading all these frustrating comments and recaps regarding this episode, i decided to hold from watching episode 12...i cant bear to watch hurtful WS and stupidy-naive HS and cowardy-nonsense WW...i am gonna wait for episode 13 and watch both of them sequelly......

good decision

if you watch episode 12, you will felt so tired.... like us. writernim drag WW & HS relationship too much in this drama. 12 episode????? left 8 episode. OMG. no idea what will happen in the next episode. But look like writernim still want show the true love story between WW & HS. if episode 13, still no progress between WS & HS, i will drop this drama soon. 

[riuenu]

thanks for posting the longer version @hallyus, as I am watching international version...SBS added so much stuffs..and the talk between So and Yeonhwa making me falling more for So...now...I wanna know..I went wrong to make So that ruthless..it should be related to Soo..

Currently re-watching the episode... okay so the international version cut the Wang Moo scene talking with Ji Mong. I can't understand what they're talking about tho. Hope someone catch this and share the translation in this thread. 

Also the talk between Wang So and Yeonhwa is longer in SBS version. Wang So told Yeonhwa about him was being told the sign that he will be the king when he was a child, and that day was the day when he got his scar on his face (guess this is why Queen Yoo harmed So, because they know that Wang So will be the king, thus she made him as the hostage so that Taejo will stop his marriage). That time Wang So stopped thinking to be a king. After that we got the famous line from the 6mins trailer "Fate? I don't believe such petty things as fate", and he continued that he has something that he wants more (than he wants the throne). Yeonhwa, as quick as she is, got his point and asked him whether it is Hae Soo that he wants. I think Yeonhwa told him to avoid Hae Soo because something, and Wang So shut her by telling her that without So he will be something (lmfao correct me please!). Last, he said even from this conversation, it made him even more certain that he will be NOTHING WITHOUT HAE SOO. 

I'm not giving up the drama, my hope is only how both So and Soo love story will be beautifully made (since there are so much beautiful scenes: the mask and the boat) and how the writer will create Hae Soo's love towards So later is not because of she's afraid of him, but because she really does love him. It's okay if the ship sails late than expected, but hope there will be no forcing feelings anymore on Hae Soo. I would like her to feel the comfort beneath So, the warmth given by So.

Thanks for the clarification! Yeah . . . the editing for the international version this time is really . . . disappointing. There should also seriously be fade ins or fade outs or a different filming technique for flashbacks OR flash forwards.

Just a thought here but . . . I think the real issue is the fact that this drama is only 20 episodes and to condense the plot to only such number of eps really cuts back on the quality of the relationships and the character development for this drama. We're forced to accept that Soo will quickly move onto to So. In a sense, if her feelings for Wook weren't that strong, the viewers might see her as being superficial. There's really no way to solve this relationship building given the short 20 eps. The original Chinese drama was far longer, so there was time for viewers to accept that she fell for the 4th Prince slowly but surely. With 20 eps, there probably should have been less focus on the side characters for So x Soo to really become believable as a couple.

[gifanchy]

If he can smile this bright when they're not yet even together, imagine how big and beautiful his smile will be when Soo accepts and loves him wholeheartedly? *sniffs* 

This baby boy deserves all the stars in Goryeo.

Of course . I'm so hooked on this drama, it is why I feel this way. I dont stop to watch the next episodes, at the end I know that true love of HS is WS

LEE HI – MY LOVE (내 사랑) MOON LOVERS: SCARLET HEART RYEO OST

I always watched over you from afar
Because you seemed like my love

I thought you felt the same way
Although you were looking somewhere else

Like the wind, like the dust
I can’t catch you, I can’t see you

Remember love you
I love you
I believed it was love
I called it destiny

Remember love you
I love you
I am living in your eyes

Only answer to you
Hold onto me when I’m swaying

My love, my love

The tears that fall
Down the window of my heart
They answer me

You’re someone who I can’t have
A person I have to forget

My love is getting farther away
I need to let you go
Because it’s not me

Remember love you
I love you
I believed it was love
I called it destiny

Remember love you
I love you
I am living in your eyes

Only answer to you
Hold onto me when I’m swaying

My love, my love

POPGASA

I will beat any IU antifan with frying pan since now

She was great!

ALL the way her lips told another things her eyes did

She is NOT in love with WW, cmon ppl

She was bitter in that night river scene an that was goobye scene too

WS finally close to reach her

Thats not a drama about our expectations, nor fanservice, IU acted marvellous here, goo job!

Girls, WS is smart an attentive, he surely watches the signs, it was good

For those who undertood ep12 literally - please watch it again

HS never ever looked at WS with THIS expression before, but she is very much afraid to harm him an make trouble for him now

She believes herself as a misfortune since lady died

And we must know what king told her, to understand her

cause in the end she made GREAT EFFORT FOR SAYING "NO" to proposal

HS longing towards WS is pulpable

please ppl rewatch it please please please

 

by the way I think to appreciate honesty in their relationship HS must tell WS who she really is, or she doesent deserve him

she can be a huge help for him, and if only he is aware  and believes her,  then it will be true honesty

[gwiyeowooh]

Have you guys heard the new moon lovers OST My Love by Lee Hi ????
