lebritneeey Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Not ashamed to say I cried during the part when HS was putting on makeup for Lady Hae and also the piggyback scene between Wook and Lady Hae. It's understandable for HS to be so sad about Lady Hae's condition as throughout her stay in Goryeo, Lady Hae and Chaeryung were the only people that cared for her. I believe HS/Ha Jin really treated Lady Hae like a real sister. I'm sure we'd be seeing the funeral scenes next week right, gonna prepare lots of tissues again.. On a lighter note, HS was really cute during the part where she met the King and she started blurting out phrases that her history teacher taught her. I'm sure she'd never expect to use them one day! Very few WS and HS scenes today but I love the scene was HS returned a cute drawing to WW, that emoticon face LMAO. Seems like WS is the only person who understands HS's drawings Saw next weeks eps preview, is Seohyun (Woohee) finally appearing? Hehe. Can't wait to see her scenes with BA~ But it seems like HS got downgraded to a maid? Omg, really wanna find out what happened!~ 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 8 hours ago, qwenli said: Actually I am quite surprise to see dB making lady hae to be a saint for condoning wook's and hs relationship. Maybe becos I am Chinese and back in the ancient days even up till the early 1900s, it was a very big issue not to have children, (in fact the influential Confucius said that not having children is the no.1 on the list of failing to be filial becos the bloodline cannot be continued) and lady hae clearly is not able to fulfill her role. So arranging for her husband to get another concubine is par for norm. That's why I find if the drama go overboard on this wook griefing and hs+wook's guilt it's just to appease modern viewers. In reality, it wld be more like, wife died, move on and marry hs immediately. I am not saying it's right, but am saying it seems like modern viewers will have issues with this drama, with all the complex relationships. Sorry, for sounding abit like yeonhwa if you find wat I am saying abit cold. But that's just the way it is back then. Yeah you're right, i think probably they're trying to toned down the concubines to appease the viewers. Regarding marrying your step sister in your father side, is it common in ancient korea or china? Anyway would HS become the palace maid whom stationed to help the king? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS will be telling herself what a fine man , and imagine the tension between them when she will be putting the makeup to cover his scar, their eyes will meet and they will be staring at each other . AHHH i'm already hyperventilating that would be the scene making this thread move at speed of light...we all gonna be n heaven together 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post skxz Posted September 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2016 Episode 5 was a good balance of sadness/angst and humour. While I was crying my eyes out for most of the episode the added humour was a great break from the tears. This episode really encapsulated Wook and Lady Hae’s relationship. It showed us the beginning of when they met and the "end" (in quotation marks cause I think Lady Hae will always be in Wook's heart). There was also a lot more Hae Soo and Wook interaction (both sad and happy). Like many said it was like LJK was making a cameo in the Ep but I mean no one is complaining cause the raw emotions exhibited in this Ep was truly incredible. I just have to say that the calligraphy is amazing. I mean I wish I could write like that. The flow of the characters are so elegant. Spoiler Hae Soo you took the words right out of my mouth haha. Spoiler Baek Ah’s protectiveness of Lady Hae was really great. It allowed us a better insight of their close relationship and showed us how much he cares about her. NJH you’re acting is on fleek. So many close ups of everyones beautiful faces. Wish my skin looked that healthy and great. Spoiler Due to the astounding number of sad scenes in this Ep I am glad that the director put in some light hearted humour. From Hae Soo being put on the spot by the King to her emoji reply to Wook's poem the humour really helped ease out the sadness. What I loved most about the emoji scene was that So was the one who ultimately understood what Hae Soo was saying. Spoiler Wook and Hae Soo’s relationship is really one of a kind. It is really hard for me to not ship them because he is just so caring towards her. I think he wants to protect her because he knows that with Lady Hae being sick and when she passes Hae Soo will no longer be safe as she has no ties with anyone else. (I believe this was mentioned by a fellow contributor a while back) And one of the most difficult things about Wook and Hae Soo's relationship is that they can’t pursue their love for each other because they both care greatly for Lady Hae. To me them "parting ways" showed that they care for Lady Hae a lot. Spoiler The final scene was definitely the toughest to get through. We got a glimpse of young Lady Hae when she met Wook. Honestly she was so pretty. Till the end she still asked for Wook to take care of Hae Soo which just shows how much she cared for them. Honestly from the moment she knew about Wook's feelings towards Hae Soo she put Hae Soo before herself. Her kindness is on another level especially for someone who lived in the ancient times. I mean everyone back then was fighting to be on top especially the women who did a lot of underhandedly things. *coughQueenYoocough* Spoiler “I was able to love you more. And that was enough." These are Lady Hae's final words. I literally had to re-watch it multiple times cause my vision was impaired by my never ending flow of tears. She died in the arms of her loved one and that was honestly a heart stopping moment. I was sad that she didn't let Wook say what he wanted to say to her. Those words will be left unheard by her forever. And what's more is in the preview Wook says "Soo, I should've told her." I mean this moment was inevitable we all saw it coming but I feel like it still took us by surprise. Her death scene (like I mentioned in a previous post) was literally under our noses this whole time and none of us knew. I applaud the director and editors that is some nek level shiftiness. Spoiler FROM THE PREVIEW Looks like we are in store for an action packed week next week. The story is picking up momentum and a lot of crazy stuff is gonna happen. A lot is gonna change and the love triangle is just gonna make me more confused about who I'm gonna ship. UGHHHHH why is everyone just so good at acting?!?! KHN and LJK I just can't. What I want to see is his reaction to Lady Hae's death. It won't be pretty that's for sure. With Lady Hae no longer around , it looks like Hae Soo is having a hard time like we predicted. There's a lot of crying and it's making me very nervous. Also what is this about Hae Soo marrying a man she's never seen before. 4th, 8th, 10th and 13th don't seem please by it. Spoiler This weeks episode definitely ended with a huge bang. I am honestly astounded by the fact that even though this series is an adaptation/"remake" of an already existing story it has still been able to surprise it's audience. I was honestly scared that I would get bored of it cause I was scared it would just be a recycle of what already exists but no. The production of this series is just top notch and amazing. I love it love it love it to bits. Now let the waiting begin. MLSHR FIGHTING!!! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiraru Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 @MoOnLoVeRz Awww what a cute interview! And I think Kang Haneul likes IU~~~~ his gaze at her when she said Liu Shishi is beautiful is like, "Well...you're beautiful too.", aaaaaaah...!! If only IU weren't taken in real life, I'd ship her peacefully with Kang Haneul or Lee Junki. They are just. So. Cuuuute!! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post skxz Posted September 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2016 Okay guys please help me I legitimately am having a hard time choosing which ship to sail. Usually it isn't rocket science right?! But why is it so hard with this drama??? I blame this on the male leads, they are just too good. Please save me from this torture. Do you guys ship Soo/So or Wook/So and why? 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skxz Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 @lebritneeey I totally agree with you and ship Soo/So them for those exact reasons but there's just something about how KHN personifies Wook that makes me ship him and Soo as well. I can't quite put my finger on what it is but their chemistry brings butterflies to my stomach and makes my heart flutter. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwenli Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Thanks for the IU interview, it's funny once they ask who took care of her the most, all the guys started figeting trying to act nonchalant, then when she choose joongi, khn appears jealous.lol drama rivalry extend to real life huh?

skwangur Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 yay love that this thread is moving reallly fast, love reading all the comments here hehe. finally watched ep 5 with subs, indeed always a rollercoaster ride watching MLSHR, there's always moments i go awwww cute can't stop smiling, other times theres sadness and crying, then anger.. what stood out for me in this ep is choi ji mong's words to hae soo.. idk why theres this element of eerieness in it haha.. i think his character is very intriguing and i am wondering just what is his role? his conversation with hae soo made me think that he actually knows hae soo has time travelled. very strange. lady hae's death made me cry buckets but at the same time i thought her death scene was beautiful being piggybacked by the man she loves. this ep also made me realise how selfless her love is. baek ah is the one i'm worried about - knowing his love for lady hae, he won't react well to her death.. he didn't even get to marry the woman he loves. my heart hurts for baek ah :'( just a thought, maybe lady hae's death could also be a trigger for baek ah and hae soo to connect even more, given their close r/s and connection to lady hae, and remember when lady hae told baek ah that him and hae soo are very alike. i think they'll begin to confide in each other more - like drinking buddies in the preview for next ep. i really hope their relationship becomes like in c-version, literal soulmates, like best friends, like siblings, the only thing short of is romance. but i'm curious how this progress will take place in the k-ver - considering how angry baek ah told hae soo off, i'm really wondering how they'll become BFFs? (and i sincerely hope they do, bc 13th and ruo xi's friendship is my fave in the c-ver.) I think baek ah will become a reliable person for hae soo to depend on in future when she gets her feelings caught up between 4th and 8th. (and i guess he'll lowkey ship hae soo with 4th given how he disapproves hae soo and 8th, as he remembers lady hae) 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will bring separation of HS and WS.. I don't think she is going back to 2016 Hmmm...that would have been possible if the sender or recipient's names were indicated but I recall that paper had nothing but that poem so even if So could recognize Wook's writing, he would not have known who it was meant for, so I doubt this would become a problem for So and HS? 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think haneul's portrayal is very successful, I am quite convince of his love for her and he seems like such a good man but some joongi's presence is so huge, he just cant be brush aside. Also So soo tend to have heartfelt soulmate talks, their connection goes beyond looks, status or whatever. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with you KHN's portrayal is just amazing his acting is so beautiful and heart felt. You are correct that LJK's portrayal of So allows him to steal the spotlight a lot of the time cause let's be real LJK's acting has always just been 완벽해 (wanbyeokhae). But I feel like I'm so confused as to who I want her to be with is because we've received a background story of So's struggles and his past and the environment he's been brought up in. We've seen his raw emotions and his vulnerability but we haven't seen anything of that sort for Wook. I feel that there is a lot of complexity and struggles that are hidden within Wook we have yet to see and depending on how future events unfold and affect him I think I'll know who I ship. It's still too early to tell we still have many more episodes to come. But I really like your insight about how So and Soo's connection goes beyond everything tangible and intangible. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it isn't rocket science right?! But why is it so hard with this drama??? I blame this on the male leads, they are just too good. Please save me from this torture. Do you guys ship Soo/So or Wook/So and why? They're both good ships to sail. Though I'm biased from the c-version. It will always be 4th Prince for me. I couldn't even finish the movie. I'd be lying if I said Wook didn't sway me. He had very expressive eyes and seems to adore Hae Soo. Though I'm not sure that will ultimately be enough. I don't think he'll put Hae Soo first before his political ambitions and familial duties. How did the arranged marriage get that far? Surely he should have stepped in sooner to stop it. It's reminds me of when Hae Soo was being whipped. He allowed two swaths with his hesitancy to get involved and in the end it was someone else who forcefully stopped Yeon Hwa. Which brings me back to So-Soo or Hae-So. 4th Prince, Wang So, has no such hesitancy concerning Hae So. He doesn't have to concern himself with familial duties - they would rather he not exist so he can pretty much do as he wants. He said without any reservations that she belonged to him... swoon... so has no problem expressing his feelings. He was the only one to decipher her smiley too. That's show they're on a par with each other and already have an understanding of the other. And regarding which one is the decoy and which has the real Hae Soo - Wang Wook wouldn't go that far to squirrel her away somewhere, he'd be afraid of the consequences but there's no such concern with Wang So. He will go all out to save her from that wretched plan. Another bonus in his favour. Lastly... Wang So needs her more than Wook does. He says he want's someone to treasure him... she would do that. It wouldn't be about ambition or status with her which is what he needs. He's had such a rough life that I feel he's deserves to get the chance. Wook had a chance at love but just kinda blew it for me. There's no doubt that Lady Hae was the perfect wife and loved him deeply. I know you can't force feelings, but surely after a length of time some sort of love should grow. She shouldn't have died with that emptiness in her heart. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually it isn't rocket science right?! But why is it so hard with this drama??? I blame this on the male leads, they are just too good. Please save me from this torture. Do you guys ship Soo/So or Wook/So and why? And here I come... I am all in for So2 simply cause I dont feel Wook being the real support for HS. We have seen in the scene where YH was hitting HS and WW had chance to speak up for her but he dint or I say he could not, he is so conditioned to behave in one particular way that does not include doing things out of that way. And taking side to his Wife's cousin means he would have to say his sister is wrong. And in that way his loyality towards his family will be questioned. And surely he would not want that. He hs feelings towards HS and that must be of attraction-infatuation to HS but thats not love, for sure, cause when you love someone you get all the courage to make that person's life safe and sound even at the cost of your life, pride (all right that might be bookish...but still standing against your family can be included). And until that courage is there no feelings can be translated as love and it will mere be crush. Where one can just dream of having the crush in our life but cant take any step to make it possible in reality. Can stare from afar (just like WW does all the time) but any real chance to prove you have something you back off silently. For HS...i have already written her emotions for WW are of impressing him cause she thinks of him as some of her Idol and she is worried if he will think she is not good for him (Trying hard to write the letter is one such example). But she cant bicker with him, the moment he says something to her the Spunky HS becomes tight liped with one flustered expression on her face. Being with WW she cant be real chirpy HS but just like another Lady Hae (i have read one quote somewhere that males get attracted to unique qualities of a gal and the moment she is with him he pressures her to change those qualities very first so that she will not be unique to rest of the world). I read many of comments abt her being weighed down by the expectation of WWs family and I agree with that. She will lose her charm, her uniqueness cause he cant water those qualities by having those rigid, think abt others before you act kind of attitude. Now next abt WS-HS. This is my ultimate OTP from the start and will be till end. Reason....She can be her real self in his presence, the spunky, chirpy, talkative self and him being deprived of any emotional support so far will water it with all his affection. She instigates some unknown emotions in WS that he himself does not know, remember the hill top scene when she asked him why you did that (killing) and turns back without hesitating he questions her back why did you enter the bath house that day and she changes the topic to tasty chicken. I loved this scene...WSs response was not calculative or well thought but unconsciously HS response reaches to his heart he remembered their earlier interaction and referred it here (just like you throw a ball on wall and it will come back to you as a reaction) these two are so well in sync as ones action = other reaction. He is not someone to be controlled by anyone and he will not let anyone control HS too. They both will be like free birds roaming in the sky. And develop their bond from stronger to strongest. And finally they will be like other's support system to fight all odds life would throw. Besides this WS already has so much courage that he can stand against anyone to save himself from any il-treatment and he can do the same for HS too, be it his family or anyone. He will never allow anyone to dare to insult her. He stopped YH (knowing he has interest in her and vice versa) but he preferred to speak up for HS and taking her sides even when he had to apologize to YH. He can be the Knight in shining armor for HS to keep her safe and at the same time she will be sky full of silver lightning for him to give him what he missed so far someone to look upto, to embrace him, to whom he can share his past stories and she will never judge him but will listen and shower all her love to him. And that very same sky will bring the light to him to come out of the darkness he had been dwelling in all his life so far. So thats it for me...Hope i could put up well to make everyone understand what I feel about both the couples and hope its not confusing (apologies if it does...) And thanks for reading till end... 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
