Hi, I have lurking around and I see some here talking /asking about Joon Gi if he is gay.

I have a good gay-dar,  and I have the confidence to say that he is not. I think many people already had that thought because of his role when he was just starting The King and the Clown and as we know LJG is a really good actor so he potrayed it really well then followed by the awful long hairstyle that he had even after the movie. I think that is why he was perceived that way. 

I have seen him bts, interview and on variety show and he more of vain, dorky, attention seeker type but not gay.  

Please don't hate me on this but the one that I am positive that is more likely gay are Jo Kwon, Heechul, you can already see it on the way they move. But the one that I got shocked was, Bogum. I never watch reply 1988 so I have no idea about it but I faithfully watch 1n2d and he was a guest recently, the way he moves was too obvious for me. Like I couldnt believe my eyes, while watching I even asked my mom and cousin who has no idea about korean dramas or kpop to drop by my room and tell me what they think about Bogum, and they said right away he is that....

I am sorry, I am not a Lee Joon Gi, park bogum, jo kwon, heechul Fan or Hater. I am a moon lover fan. I just posted what I have observed as a normal citizen of this earth. I could be wrong. Please don't hate me

I had the same thoughts lol he is not shy at all around girls lol I realised this after watching music bank and reply1988 bts. He interacts with girls so naturally. But then again I read that he is a member of a devout christian as he is part of some famous (kinda extreme) church group since he was young, so he might not be gay, but well, who knows.

Wang So can generally be thought of doing the same thing with his pack consisting of Baek Ah, Hae Su and the astronomer (shoot! I forgot his name :P) and looking up to Wang Mu and the king. It is also said about Gray wolves that their numbers are required to keep a healthy balance in the habitat that they live and is an indicator of ecological health of the place.

The astronomer is JiMong.

Finally joining this crowd after infected by @riuenu with unstopable spam on our chat room. Let's have fun ^^

Love your imagination. Right on point 

After all she is now with the laundry department and as part of the bullying, she may have been selected to deliver the laundry as punishment, carrying tons of clothes over unpaved roads/paths. Too bad horsey is with WS.

From darksmurfsubs.com ... We have finished subbing the Ep 11.  Those of you who want soft subs srt files can download it there.  We may go back and tweak some song lyrics or add a few more lyrics lines later, but otherwise it is good to go.

Gosh, it wasn't easy to subtitle this episode.  It is tough to do when you are tearing up at some so many places.  The subbing colleague of mine crying her eyes out (so she says) and me, an older man who is not supposed to cry, pretty much choking up.

By the way, am I the only one impressed by the Princess Yeon Hwa actress?  She has been doing a terrific job.  I particularly noticed the scene at the beginning when Wang So walks off from the banquet and she gets up to ask for 3 cups.  She first looked at the evil queen who just looked away.  The expression on the princess' face was striking.  For a split second she showed disbelief at the mother being least bothered of the son who had just had poison, and also her own caring (which she has somewhere inside) for Wang So.  In a second it was a smile on her face, meant for the King.  Another scene that I liked was in Ep.10 when she walked into the evil queen's room to start the whole evil plot. She walked in even as the attendant ladies were announcing, with her head turned up.  Talk about style! ... I had never seen this actress before, but I'm impressed.

 

She's great! She does it too well that its hard for me to look at her because I'm too angry at her for being so manipulative and ruthless.  I've seen her before once in a movie entitled "Empire of Lust" (saeguk) which also featured Kang Ha Neul. She was KHN's father's new concubine/first love however she shares a dark history with KHN which his father is unaware of .

Hi @bebebisous33 brilliant post on 'poison' you didn't leave out any sort used in the context of this drama and I loved reading it. And then as usual, I started thinking about it. I just quoted a part of your post to highlight the poisoning in connection to Wang So.

Poisonous words have built up an image of him that is ferocious and savage. So has been on the receiving end of such poison for years. He also has been much abused physically by circumstances and his adopted family in Shinju so that there is still another sort of poison he has been internalizing. In the recent timeline that we see him, direct words by Queen Yu, Wang Yo and even Jung have been used to cut up his emotions. Lastly he took the literal poison as the only way out from the checkmate situation Queen Yu put Hae Su and him in. While slow poisoning/ chronic poisoning (eg. Arsenic, Antimony etc) can kill you over time, on the other hand slow doses of poisoning can also make you immune to it and make you stronger.

In all the other characters we see inevitable signs of deterioration, be it health or the mind, but only in case of So do we see him come out stronger after each dose of poisoning. So he is the only one who has been surviving poisoning for so long and yet again he survived the literal poisoning. I think this foreshadows the fact that in the poisonous royal court of Goryeo the one who will always survive and become stronger is Wang So. The fact that he has been building up his immunity, quite inadvertently, will also help Hae S become  stronger in the long run because he will be there to help her overcome the poisonous atmosphere of the palace.

One other sort of poison- Love. Love as a poison can be clearly seen in case of Hae Su. The love of WW kept HS in an illusory world and didnt let her venture properly into the gruesome and offensive reality of life in Goryeo, dynamics of family, specially the royal family and the greed for power that it entails. And that love has cost her her mentor and mother-like figure. Sure Wook is not to be blamed for the whole poisoning incident but it is undeniable that his sister orchestrated it and had her love for Wook not held her back she and lady Oh may have left the palace by then and not be involved in any of it at all.

One other effect of poisoning- Paralysis- Can be seen in King Taejo. He is so bound by the words and actions of the clans and his love for Wang Mu that he is incapable of justified action. He is helming Goryeo in stall mode.....doing whatever he can to preserve balance in the nation and smoothen the path for Mu regardless of how his other sons may be at life risk (Wang So) and innocent bystanders may end up dead (Lady Oh + Hae Su).

I have 50+ pages to catch up so if this is a repeat of things already said then please bear with me everyone

Thanks for completing my analysis of poison and its effects!

You're so right, since he has been young, Wang So has been abused and rejected so that we can clearly say that he was a victim of poisonous actions (physical abuse, wolf den, aso), but he suffered less due to poisonous words. Therefore when he came back, he still hoped that his mother would love him. But the episode 4 marks the end of his love for her. 

Now, I would like to add that we can already notice that the effects of Yoo's words on Wang So are less stronger than at the beginning. In the episode 9, he is able to leave his mother without showing his pain and vulnerability, while in the episode 4, he was so shaken by her cruelty and coldness that he really fell on the floor. Her words were like a sword that had cut him, but in the episode 11, Wang So is only out of breath and he is walking as if he had vertigo. So her words worked more like a poison... notice, he had the same walk in the episode 9 and in the episode 11. When he left his mother, he had some trouble to walk after a while and at the party after taking the poison, he walked normally, until the effect started showing off. Both walks are really similar. So Yoo's words are still a poison to him, but he is getting used to it! After a while, he will be able not to feel pain due to her!!

 I like your theory. She was given to serve 4th. Maybe she's delivering 4th bat robe that got all wet that day.

Yeah, only one problem - it's her first day on the job and she ruined the suit; it's now shrunk, more suitable for catwoman now.

Don't they display So's black cape/leather ( i think) raincoat /BATSO costume?

I think that is the most famous costume in the drama..

LMAO things like this is all that I need after the craziness we've been from watching the prev eps and waiting for the next eps. You need to continue your wild imagination further!!! I can take more than this Fathia...

Scene from Ep11 (only 2min 55sec but i love it so much and kp replaying over n over again)

WS visits HS in the prison

HS: I knew it. I knew you wouldn't die

WS: Why would I? That was nothing

HS: Did you drink the tea knowing it was poisoned so that noone would suspect me?

WS: That's nonsense. I'm not a fool who'd take poison to save a girl

HS: Why did you do it? Do you think acting so rashly will make me change my mind

- WS looks away like HS has seen through him

HS in voiceover: Why would you risk your life for me? He's making it harder for me to ignore him.

WS: Don't run away. You're so good at causing trouble. We both made it out alive. We'll see each other again.

HS: You are beyond helpless. 

WS with a split second wry smile: You are worse.

HS: Listen to the doctor well. Get treated. You shouldn't be walking about. You don't have to come see me. Okay?

WS looks visibly touched by her words and her concern: You and your nagging.

WS like about to tear up, turns away. A look of determination on his face as he walks away

the last few lines from them really made me smile. A touch of light heartedness in an otherwise sombre setting. I love it that she could see through his flippant reply and denying he was saving her. I love it that it was hard for WS to mask his concern and how much HS's words affect him. I love HS understated way in acknowledging that she couldn't ignore WS even if she tries. She couldn't help but be touched by his actions and couldn't help herself worrying over him even when she was not in a state to worry about others.

______________________________

Guards lead HS out. She sees the noose that's meant for her

HS voiceover: Am I going to die? Where's Prince Wook? You must be here to see me.

Turns and frantically looks around her. But no WW in sight

The one came running out was Wang So: Soo...

He draws his sword at the guards: Step aside. I'm taking her with me

- this scene was very telling. Expecting her Knight in shining armour but he's not there for her. But a knight does show up. The one who truly cares for her.

@flower4junsu Yeah, Nicky Wu (4th in C-version) was interested in Cecilia Liu (Ruoxi) but at that time she was attached (wasn't sure who was her bf at that time though she dated one staff of her agency Tangren for ~3-4 years when she started acting). Nicky mentioned at a talk show that he met a nice girl during one drama shooting and fans speculated that it was Cecilia as it coincided with finishing SH. Later, Cecilia was rumored to be dating Ming Dao [another Taiwanese actor who she co-starred "Angel Happiness" with in 2011 Oct (the drama wasn't aired/ banned because it contains HIV related issues) ]. They later met again when they act together in Bu Bu Jing Qing (modern sequel of SH) March-June 2013 and they collaborated again a few months later in August 2013 for Nicky's company produced Incisive Great Teacher, which was her first outside Tangren (CEI her management company) production.  The media started stalking them after the drama and it was speculated that they started dating towards the end of BBJQ since they announced their dating by posting pic taken @ HK during their BBJQ shooting. 

Since you mentioned actors' romance, do u know LJK ever dated???  I know this forum has a lot of Jun Ki's fans and that he only acted feminine/  high-end male prostitute in one movie (King's clown)  but does anyone heard of whether he is gay??? I'm not his fans or fans of any other Korean actors yet (I saw him in 2 weeks and thought pretty good acting macho criminal).  So, please please please do NOT egg me! I'm just curious as I don't read K-pop news and do not understand Korean

 

 

He did had dating rumour with Joseon Gunman's second female lead Jeon Hye Bin before. From the reports I read online, some didn't take this well and saying how the actress is only class C actress, etc etc... Some even use the word 'scandal', and I can't help but rolleyes at this. Two single people having dinner together (even if they were really dating) is called a 'scandal'?? 

Back to Moon Lovers, am I mistaken that WS's sword is shorter than the usual sword? Compared this in the scene where he fights the soldier to save HS from the gallow.

Apparently, the kissing BTS impact is so strong in K-Drama Land, a Soompi writer decided to write an article about it! Hehehee...

Throughout the video, the two lead actors are seen lightening up the mood on set as they chat and joke around.

Did you guys notice (or I think someone had mentioned it before) IU and LJG are wearing the same coats, as you can see the 'crew' written on the left front pocket and the big embroidery in the back.

Agree with @LyraYoo. It is hella romantic how he is ready willing an able to dive through any hell for Hae Soo. He is a dependable guy with no promises. Unlike someone I know

I love your theory! Could be ! Because in history , Solar Eclipses were recorded in 975 . The year Gwangjong died was in July of 975 and since the production have license to alter history, it could be plausible.

The writer must have done a thorough research/references.

 

 

Gosh you 've just raised my hopes up so high . Bearing this info in mind , i could imagine Gwangjong at the very last moment of his life will try to be at the place where him and Soo have fond memories ( somewhere by the water maybe  ) . With the last breath , all the flashback of Soo and their love will rush back through his eyes. As he 's reaching out his hands to reach out for Soo , he accidentally falls into the water and VOILA . So reappear as confused as Soo in ep 1 in the bathouse but by the time he catchs the sight of Go Ha Jin , the confusion will be replaced by an overwhelming and indescribable joy of seeing his HaeSoo after all the years of leading the life of loneliness in the palace. 

 

Hahha I have to  sorry beforehand for my poor imagination
