glacial Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just a random observation, I've seen Lee Jun ki in the industry since my girl back in the early 2000's-mid 2000's and he looks so different now. He's never looked this good! I read that he mentioned losing 33 lbs for this show and that it took 6 months and was very difficult. Wow, thats really really inspiring. He was never on the heavy side but i guess losing that weight slimmed out his face and his beautiful features became prominent. He looks extremely good in this drama. Wonders of weight loss... Thanks for the inspiration LJK!!! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irene123 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Spoiler OMG chingus, if Jung really did ask for a decree to marry HS, does that mean the ending will make HS end up with Jung like in the c-version. PLEASE NO! I liked the 14th prince in BBJX but WJ, NOOOO! He hasn't been portrayed as a likable character at all! Just lots of frustrations. How would our poor HS survive? (I know he's just been frustrating and hasn't directly broken HS's heart like the other two guys had/will, but NOOOS! I'm just happy I have weaned myself away from the drama so I can avoid heartbreaks and will just wait for the ending. If it's a happy enough ending I'll watch the part with HS in the future but I'm feeling so sad already!! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minekas Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Funniest Twitter reactions to Scarlet Heart: Ryeo's episode 16 delay Spoiler We were all eagerly looking forward to Scarlet Heart: Ryeo's episode 16 hitting DramaFever today. But due to an extended game, the channel had to delay in releasing the episode, and as a subsequent reaction, we had to delay in releasing the episode to you. While we were expecting a few broke hearts (ours included), we definitely weren't expecting an outpouring of hilariously sad tweets! Here's a roundup of a few of our favorites: The tweet that started it all!

I actually bawled when their beautiful romantic yet cute moments happened :") Its so powerful, we can feel that they were longing, yearning and they obviously feel so safe around each other. What more can I sayyy, they brought out the best in each other and that just made me love #SoSoo even more! *look at them smiling! I wonder is it Hae Soo - Wang So or IU - Lee Joon Gi? Spoiler i watched. i did love. BUT the scenes we were ALL itching to watch especially after all the bts stills we've all stared and watched multiple times were, imo, waaaaayyy too damn short for all the hype it got. Imo, what was shown was more of a montage. It. just. feels. so. rushed (as always). I've been watching kdramas long enough to know they never fail to dissappoint in overhyping then falling short of the hype. That feeling you get when watching and staring at the previews and bts is more climactic..more exciting than actually watching the scenes in the episodes is just the suckiest feeling, u know? lol okay. back to waiting....... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post arsdf Posted October 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm so sad for the entire of the cast, they spent 6 months and give the best of their performances. But it's seems like their hardwork is not much appreciated by SBS. Let's continue to support this drama till the end, cs that's the only way for us to appreciate their hardwork! it's just 5 eps to go, and I will just enjoying how the story goes, without thinking about choppy editing, hole plot, time leap etc. It's just makes me got headache I wish all the cast will get their own success after this drama end, good luck everybody!!! 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinniet Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 need some confirmation about a scene in eps 16 Spoiler When they were talking to Jimong, was So's hand holding Soo's hand here? because the way I see here, his hand was on her lap. If that's the case then So didn't try to hide his relationship as some might have suggested when he put Soo's hand aside upon seeing Jimong. He was open to Jimong about his relationship. (I got a screenshot but for some reasons it got inserted but didn't appear on the post) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemella Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I have watched the leaked and I am now wanting more (who isn't?) At this point in time I am more pissed with SBS than Jung. LOL how can they do this to us? Selfish channel. I can't believe they expect us to make plans according to their schedule. (Although what I intend to do are my own choices but I have halt many plans because of this drama, I am sure most of us have!) It's especially annoying since it's my birthday week!!!! Obviously, they don't think of repercussions. Some might just boycott all SBS dramas from now on. Tsk. My heart can no longer withstand all the rollercoaster ride of this drama and the 'additional' drama from SBS. I have learnt a valuable lesson. Next time, I will only watch a drama when all the episodes are aired. I shall hang on for the love of this drama! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly86 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Ah stop bidding farewell guys I'M NOT READY, not ready to let this drama end or Wang So go. Yikes the pain and sinking in my heart is starting. The last drama that did this to me was 88. I'm still so in love with Wang So, I'm not mentally prepared or ready yet and I've lost track I can't believe we're already so close to the end. ♡ breaks. I sure didn't complain about today's leaked episode lol ya know I need my Monday and Tuesday drug Wang So. Props to those waiting. Me on the other hand took any form of my drug even if bootleg haha. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler You can rewatch the short clip on page 1324. I don't think the hands were on her lap. It's more like because she was lying on his shoulder, the position of their interlock fingers (swoons) were on his thigh. I don't think he intends to hide but rather he kinda have said he would 'give up' already so technically he shouldn't be seen with her, he also probably didn't expect JM to find him therefore he was surprise. He gave 2 small pats while putting her hand back. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lunaluna33 Posted October 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2016 I'm a total newbie but just had a very long rant rattling in my head for about a week that I have to get down. thanks for reading (I'm so not tech savvy that I've outlined spoiler in old fashion way... sorry!!!) I can’t believe I am writing about a k-drama, but I need to get this off my chest. I did watch the leaked ep 16, so there are some spoilers here. I’ve also made mention of C-version of BBJX. You’ve been warned. Good entertainment should not only help us pass our leisure time, but in certain cases, inspire us to have deeper thoughts about our inner being, the culture/society that are weaved by these human frailties and the very truth of our nature. Both the original Scarlet Heart and now Ryeo are doing this for me. (I’m super embarrassed to be writing this, shouldn’t it be Shakespeare? or something equally high brow?) While there are tremendous sensory payoff from both dramas (the beautiful people, the gorgeous sets, stirring music etc.), I feel an overwhelming sense of melancholy. At it’s core, both of these dramas are an indictment of the impermanence of human emotions and the the corrupting aura of power. Over and over, the point is driven home, the only thing we (the viewers, readers etc.) can count on is: no one can have it all. In order to maintain a pure love, one need to disdain power; in order to grab the throne, one need to forsake one’s heart. Taejo chose power, and died remembering the simple herbalist daughter from another time. I can read Chinese and I feel sometimes the subtleties of the writing is lost in the English translation. One of the most moving words he said while on his death bed was “what is this all for? time is fleeting.” (or something of that nature). The man founded an empire and has his name recorded in annals of human history for goodness sake. Spoiler ******SPOILER ALERT**** One of the reasons the So-Soo reunion, while magical, was tinted in blue for me was the conversation they had at the end. There is a new lover for So — the throne of Goryeo. This is more polygomous than So’s 10 second marriage to his niece; this new lover is all encompassing and ever present in a way that a human woman just cannot be. ******END SPOILER******** The thought of Wang So from ep 14, ever being with another woman in the name of power is laughable; but the Wang So from ep 16 becomes a match for YH. He’s finally ready to step into the ring that she’s participated since birth. In the 20+ years he would rule Goryeo (probably only 2 episodes in drama time); he may come to love and respect the steadfastness of YH’s vision and the tactics she would use to make sure her family is not wronged. However, I suspect the WS of ep 20 (dizzying drama speed time) will rue the fleeting nature of human happiness and remember the pureness of his love for a court lady on a boat on a lazy summer day. Arghhhh… why can’t anyone have it all? Taejo: founded a dynasty and lost his love Wang So: saved his family and his country and lost his sole/soul mate HS: finally found love, squandered years of time with him, lost him to a country. YH: has her cinderella story, but smart enough to know her husband’s heart is always locked WW… and the list goes on and on, everyone paid a price for something precious to them. Some with their lives, some with their sanity and some with their souls. The song from the C-version of BBJX (the opening song) basically sock you in the face with this thought: 一眼之念一念执著 注定就此飞蛾扑火 明知是祸为何还不知所措 Essentially, it says, if you know you are being drawn in like a moth to a fire, why would you still go? (is the beauty of the flame worth your life?) then later 最好不见最好不念 如此才可不与你相恋 Its better if we never saw each other, that’s the only one we can not long for each other. Tear… I guess there are four more episode to see if the K-version can spin this concept in an unique way. The C-version really went for the melancholy with gusto and there are days I really dig it (in a self flagellating type of way) and there are days when I think “entertainment is suppose to be about escapism… and this blows”.

Spoiler As far as I understand from the episodes it seems that those two brothers are still close despite being on different sides when it comes to So. There hasn't been conflict to drive them apart yet 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
