If haesoo got pregnant, hope she did not get miscarriage as she already lost 2 mother here and when she is about to be a mother herself she lost her baby. This will kill her...

I want her to be pregnant and give birth in 21 century.

OMG!! You guys really daebak!! 1000 pages already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rose3]

I can't guess the ending and the future episodes. This drama seems to surprise me when I thought it is going this way, it turns another way. I thought initially that the slow build up in the beginning episodes will lead to an epic war on throne with a bang but the story seems to push and pull, like it is continuously building up the tension one after the another. It pulls you in and intrigues you. 

I seen the 6mins long trailer that Hae Soo will rewrite history and Goryeo's fate lies in her hands. This is already set in stone in the beginning of the drama with her faithful encounter with Wang So and both falling in love with each other. But more glaringly is in Episode 13 where she asked for Wang So's help and tell him everything despite King Taejo asked her not to tell anyone.

One thing though that particularly bothers me is the fact that Wang So did not know Hae Soo actually fell in love with Wang Wook before him. He thought that they just have a relative relationship. Remember, this guy only sees Hae Soo so I do not know how this will work out. Whether or not if Wang So feel betrayed and if it is so, I wonder how their love will work out. The Purple Prince seems a bit iffy. And his relationship with Chaeryung still have not revealed yet. I think he will play apart in affecting Wang So and Hae Soo's relationship. 

I especially can't wait for these two scenes!!! Lee Joon Gi in his black robes majestically riding a horse across a wide field with the backdrop of a mountain is a magnificent and grandeur scene in itself. I guess that he and his people (some clans that will work with him) are on the way to wage war against Wang Yo during his reign. 

   

And also this breathtaking and absolute phenomenal cinematography/scenography. I think there is a noteworthy symbolism over this scene. I guess that it symbolizes him going to meet his one and only eternal love - Hae Soo. Maybe happen near the ending. I cant guess how the episodes will work out so i may be wrong but i just want to add something about this solar eclipse symbolism. 

Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely engulfs the Sun. Moon Goddess is Haesoo where she shines in the darkness of Goryeo and Wang So's heart. While taeyang, the Sun is Wang So. He shines so bright like the star (Sun, he has long reign as a King) but only with the Moon that he feels complete. Both the Sun and the Moon are meant to be apart like the day and the night but only during Solar eclipse they meet and they are together. Both Wang So and Hae Soo are crossed lovers. With the ring of the Solar eclipse starting to erode with the passing of the cloud and with Wang So marching across the Solar eclipse i think it leaves viewers thinking that despite the Solar eclipse starting to gone meaning they will be separated with Ko Ha Jin transport back to modern world, Wang So is marching to meet his one and only eternal love - Hae Soo. So I think there will be a scene in the modern world where the two will meet again. At a different world and different time they will be together!!!

    

Haha! Again I may be wrong because like I mentioned in my beginning sentences, I can't predict how the drama will goes but it makes things more exciting!!! One moment I am so riled up like the ending of episode 12 where I was shocked with Baek Ah getting the attack for the sake of Woo Hee but in episode 13 i felt down maybe because Wang So feels down. Haha...I guess soon I will not post much about this drama because I do not want to get too attach to it..the drama will come to an end. My heart can't take it. 

Edit: A nice user notified me that these scenes has already happened. I missed them lol. Nvm, can rewatched the episodes again!  But this does not stop me from admiring these wonderful cinematography/scenography.

Congrats to all on this 1000 page milestone Here's to another 1000 more

Anyway, I think I've mentioned this before but I'm going to find it highly ironic if So becomes the Gwangjong that Soo's afraid off because he lost her (through death and not some stupid misunderstanding though). That premonition she had of Gwangjong would make sense if it was years after Soo dies and returns to the future. Even then, that Gwangjong might have been cruel but he probably wasn't as unaffected by the deaths he caused as Soo seems to believe he became. Therefore, it would be very ironic if Soo's purpose in being in the past was to give So a reason to become the Gwangjong that history needed.

[penelop3]

I must say... after watching the ending preview of ep 14, when So came at Damiwon to fight of Yo - how can he make grownup men flip like that?!?! Not just one, but several of them!!! *jaw drop in awe

off topic...

i really glad that LJG is actually teaching and guide IU through.. you can see in bts that he always give her a point and teach her something.. in one bts he even fix the focus on IU by himself.. that's why IU said LJG is the one that take care of her the most.. not because he have many scene with her but he actually take care and teach her something every chance he can...

also i kinda amused by LJG giggle every time he have scene with IU.. you can see how hype he is and keep fooling around her.. IU seem so focused but that never bother her.. i think that's why LJG can be himself around IU cause she the type that understand people and go with the flow.. IU seem always response to his jokes too.. LOL

not shipping or anything but LJG and IU have an interesting chemistry off screen too.. they seem so comfortable and happy to work with each other.. its a rare thing to see from IU cause she always reserve and almost shy.. glad they having fun...

PREVIEW: MOON LOVERS: BO BO KYUNG SHIM: RYEO EPISODE 14

October 5, 2016

So says to Soo: “Do you want me to give up on you or keep pinning for you? If you do not intend to be with me, don’t give me false hope.” Well…and the next thing we know, Soo kisses So on her own accord. Awwww…I’m so happy for him. Wook claims he has to become a traitor in order to protect his family, while his mom wonders whether Soo is somewhat instrumental to Wook’s ambition to be king. He also asks the Crown Prince to abdicate in his favour. Yo returns alive with a caveman hairdo and So is made to fight his own blood brother again to protect the Crown Prince.

I wish the same too. If the Goryeo love story would end tragically then I wish they would just have beautiful kids in 21st Century

ve been thinking about the premonitions in relation to all of this. One thing I didn't expect was the fact that Uk turned Darth Vader on us rather than So. I think it's an interesting switch there and probably one that played with our expectations and Su's. I imagine that one of the reasons why Su has been holding back from So is that she thinks that he will turn into Darth Vader because it is his "destiny" to be Gwangjong. She is clearly drawn to him despite knowing all of that. The irony is that her expectations of both men have not followed the kind of trajectory that she thought they would. The sweet, gentlemanly Uk is turning into the cold, calculating tyrant that she thought So would be. Whereas the wild, savage So has become the sweet, if clumsy big-hearted lover who is gradually becoming the noble figure that she thought that Uk was. 

_________________________________________________________

With all due respect to Korean audiences and others who have expressed frustration with the show, I am enjoying this drama precisely because it demolishes all the usual expectations.

For example, I don't know why we're still throwing around labels like "first male lead" or "second male lead" for this show. So isn't the first male lead in the same way that Uk isn't the second male lead. They are both equal male leads with their own journey that intersect with the female lead. They both love her in different ways which has important ramifications on the way she perceives the world of Goryeo. In turn she loves them both in different ways and in different stages. With that in mind, Su's impact on both men are powerful and life-changing. She awakens hidden aspects in their personalities and bring them to light. Because of So's personal journey, her impact on him is positive to the point where it elevates him to become a better man (and hopefully a better king) whereas her impact on Uk is much less positive because of his personality and his latent tendencies. I realize that it is within our nature to pigeonhole characters and that we've become accustomed to timelines and predictable trajectories... we've been trained through years of watching K dramas to expect certain things to happen by Ep. 8 or Ep. 10. This show, however, doesn't seem to follow any of those trajectories in any of the usual ways. I can see why it's frustrating for some but for me, it's all part of the charm. The unpredictability is what makes the show quite unique. And addictive. No one disputes that the editing and the approach to the story could have been better (considering the limitations imposed on it) but as far as the storytelling is concerned, it's still compelling television.

 

@40somethingahjumma If I may, I'd like to join you and @chrissydiva in the minority chair, though based on the number of likes your post received, I have a feeling your thoughts reflect more of the majority than we think.

I too have always felt like the SoSoo ship had already set sail and has actually been pacing that of WookSoo. I can't help feeling that Soo's relationship with Wook might actually mirror that of Go Ha Jin's and her boyfriend in 2016. Then too, she accepted his sweet words at face value, not realizing till it was too late that she didn't really know him at all.

I also think that in the same way that Soo has impacted So’s personal journey, there’s no question he’s impacted hers also, showing her time and time again with not only words but actions what it truly means to love someone. Isn’t it ironic that So who was so desperate for love and acceptance, is showing the one who accepted him unconditionally, what real love and acceptance is all about.

And although So doesn’t believe he has Soo’s heart yet, he continues walking on his chosen path because he hasn’t been alone. Soo has in fact been walking along with him, talking with him, comforting him, and encouraging him. Their moments together have depth and richness; while Soo's moments with Wook, while sweet and romantic, have been one dimensional and superficial. I find some measure of comfort in knowing that Wook is aware of Soo's increasing attachment to So. How could he not when Soo mentions So during their moments together, and never fails to show that So is important to her.

Something I've wanted to say for a long time:

All the viewers frustrated with the existence of 2 versions of Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (SHR).

All the viewers wishing & praying that the next episodes would be identical in both versions.

I'm NOT one of them.

1) Sure, the ideal option might have been for the production team to NOT behave like brainless monkeys and to provide a single satisfactory, SoSoo-centric cut of the drama from the START.

This, however, was not the case.

2) The intended version of SHR--the version originally planned for both the International and the Korean audience--is the current International version (Youku, AsiaOne, DramaFever). I find that version, by itself, profoundly lacking. I find it outright hateful in its treatment of SoSoo.

Thus, I couldn't be happier and more relieved about the outraged fan outcry that moved SBS to ditch the initially-planned drama cut and to provide the much-improved 2nd version of SHR (airing in Korea).

3) Do I mind having to watch 2 different versions of each episode? Or rather: do I mind watching the SBS version and then going to look for the extra scenes in the International version? No.

I am grateful--because added together, the 2 versions provide more than 60 minutes of unique content. Unlike if there had been only 1 version, no matter how good, the current situation means that each full episode we have access to (patched together from the 2 versions) is a bit longer than the standard 1 hour we would have otherwise gotten.

We already know that there are A LOT of scenes that were cut from each episode because of the 1h-broadcast limit. I'm greedy for those scenes. I'm ecstatic that some of them were put back in the SBS version, or that they exist in the International version, if not the SBS one. In fact, if bigger differences between the 2 versions of SHR would mean more different scenes unique to each version--then I wish that the 2 versions were even more dissimilar.

It's far from an ideal situation, but at least the existence of 2 versions (with different scenes) has brought us one step closer to what is the ultimate grail (HAR) for the dedicated SHR fan: a full, no-cut version of this drama.

Well said, we should look at the glass as half full and not half empty. I was also frustrated about 2 versions at the beginning but now I look at it as having the opportunity to see more scenes and get twice the happiness from watching it a second time. I would still like to see the re-edited first 3 eps though, it wasn't on KissAsian the last time I looked 

[hotspring]

I've serched all over the web about this hot topic and now i'm here, really addicted to this drama :))) In the last episode, when Soo was serching for So and only for him to tell about the king's death, i really realized to have fear about the other episodes because i think that my heart will not stand a sad ending . Please tell me that all will go right! Fighting!!!

I think the first picture scene actually happened in episode 12 or 13 and the solar eclipse scene with the orange-ish background was in the first episode.

I agree with this. Although the PD likes to zoom up his actors' and actresses' faces, the cinematography in this drama is breathtakingly beautiful especially when wang so and his men ride their horses. OMG, it gives me goosebumps. Can we have more of junki riding horses with his mask on, please?
