Koorisuto Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Does anyone know the filming location for "Lake Dongji"? The lake with green trees and white flowers where WangSo takes HaeSoo for a walk when she just starts working at Damiwon (in ep7 I think), then they stop at a gate and look out onto the lake. Im hoping to find the name of the place cause I really really love the scenery but I looked all over the internet and couldnt find it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kdramawriter Posted October 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2016 I am a giant nerd who can't stop writing. For those of you who are writers, you probably know about Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey. It's a mythological frame work that many different stories follow. Most western stories follow this mode. From romance to adventure to comedy, the framework covers it all. Many people have said that Hae Su is not the hero, but here I can easily prove that she is. 1. Call to Adventure Hae Su sees the little boy drowning in the lake. An offshoot of this is that the hero can refuse the call. Which Hae Su does because she convinces herself that someone else will save the boy. But she ultimately accepts the call when she jumps into the lake to save the little boy anyway. 2. Entering the Unknown – Hae Su enters ancient Goryeo via an eclipse 3. Supernatural Aid – Hae Su is a time traveler with knowledge of the future. 4. Allies/Helpers – Hae Su gains friends, i.e. all the Princes. 5. Tests and the Supreme Ordeal Every day in Goryeo is essentially a test for Hae Su. Hae Su cuts herself so she does not have to marry the King. Hae Su becomes a court lady. Hae Su is accused of poisoning the crown prince. Hae Su survives torture. Hae Su is punished as a misuri. Hae Su is separated from Wang So. Hae Su falls in love with Wang So. Wang So dumps Hae Su. They make up. Consummate their relationship. Wang So enters the palace as a King. I think this means there’s more Ordeal to be had. 6. Reward and the Journey Home Hae Su will most likely die as her journey home. Her reward was the short-lived, but passionate love with Wang So. 7. Restoring the World Hae Su’s purpose, to restore the world from Wang So the tyrant to Wang So the effective monarch is done. She is a hero who saved the world. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During an interview at the photo shoot site, the actor discussed his thoughts on his dramas, TV ratings, and his overall acting career and some choices he has had to make. When asked to talk about his current drama, 'Scarlet Heart: Ryeo' Lee Jun Ki admitted, "I have worries about the TV ratings." As a big drama with its original, Chinese version having had huge success, the Korean version is not doing as well in terms of TV ratings. Lee Jun Ki stated, "I feel sad. All the actors and staff worked so hard. Everyone worked so hard..." Aside from the TV ratings, the drama is getting a lot of positive feedback, and many are praising Lee Jun Ki's acting. However, he did not make excuses, saying, "I have no regrets. As a leading role, I must have a sense of responsibility with its success, including TV ratings. As I watch this drama, I am looking for what it is lacking." His monitoring does not end there. Lee Jun Ki says that he reads all the comments on articles related to him. He explained, "Not just my works, but I watch almost all dramas and movies that are out to analyze what people like, why certain dramas have high ratings, and why some don't do as well. It helps me be a better actor for the next work and also helps me to select scripts." When questioned about plans to get married, he responded, "I have my priorities. I want to be settled as an actor first. It's not just about performing well as an actor. I think a lot about how I can be chosen by the public consistently...Yes, I do feel frustrated with myself sometimes too." Hide contents ALLKPOP =========== Lee Joon Ki talks life after Scarlet Heart: Ryeo Lee Joon Ki is ready to meet fans and continue to grow as an actor! With only four episodes left in Scarlet Heart:Ryeo, the leading actor is already talking fanmeetings and future acting opportunities with Singles magazine. The 34 year-old actor modeled the latest trends in suits, crocheted sweaters and leather jackets for the black and white photo shoot, while he chatted with the publication. He is all in when it comes to fan gatherings! Fanmeeting preparations take about a month, because he is very hands-on with the entire event. From songs to special events during the meetings, he does it all. "I am grateful to all my fans, and I am trying hard to be together with them," he said. Although he is very happy he met the great cast and crew on the set of Scarlet Heart: Ryeo, the Hallyu star is ready to embrace the future. His next role is Commander Lee in the Hollywood film Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which releases in US theaters on January 27. "It's just a special appearance, and I think of it as a good experience... I have been acting for more than 10 years now, but there's still a lot I want to show everyone. I haven't met my true character yet. I hope to in the future." Fans are more than willing to take that future ride with him. I think Lee Joon Ki has done an unbelievable job as Wang So these past couple of months. I was 100% Team Wang Wook until recent episodes. He's very persuasive. https://www.dramafever.com/pt/news/lee-joon-ki-talks-life-after-scarlet-heart-ryeo-/ Read the article and feel bad for him especially when he said that he has a sense of responsibility over the drama's success, how he can be chosen by the public consistently and feeling frustrated with himself. It's so sad that such a genuinely talented actor being underrated in his homeground only all because of ratings and Korea never merited their actors based on performance, without consideration of popularity. Sigh! I don't understand why never mentioning of Scarlet Heart international success. The drama is explosive everywhere except Korea, at least they should have mentioned that in the article and allow him to know that he has done a phenomenal job with so many international viewers giving their love not only to him but to the drama itself. 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to Baekhyun's fans, but I thought it's more legit for him to be under the singer category cuz that's his core work. Those who voted him are mainly EXO fans and perhaps some new fans gained from MLSHR. I dun think it's fair to those who are actors by default. *pls dun shoot arrows at me*. If anything, I think D.O is better suited for this category cuz he's been acting in a few projects and his performance is good. Just my take. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwenli Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 2 hours ago, wordsmyth0253 said: As far as the significance of Pegasus, I think it's been mentioned in this forum as well but Korean fans have put together that the significance is not in the mythology but the timing of when the constellation appears in the night sky. In Korea, Pegasus rises in the early evening in autumn - and historically Gwangjong took the throne in fall of 949, our current year in the drama. Thus, as Ji Mong says, "the time has come" Wow I have more respect for the writer than ever! @millie10468 one thing I will do differently is to marry WS when he offered and get the express ticket out of the laundromat. I like doing laundry...but with a washing machine with many zany functions I will likely be Yeonhwa....hahaha plotting who to marry to....I dun mind being her as well, she will get to marry WS....u get my point....lol 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akiddo Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 10 hours ago, Artheusa said: How heartbreakingly beautiful... Thank you so much for sharing. The scenes of Wang So and Hae Soo together were such huge "what ifs". It would be their life if they were to be married as ordinary people, far from the palace and the bloodshed, simply husband and wife, happy in love. Feeding food to each other, gazing at the stars at night.. I'm well pleased we saw them like this. I wish it was a bit longer. After watching all this, I can't help but feel glad to be born as an ordinary person and not as a political leader of some sorts. I can freely be with the ones I love. Did LJG make that bird sound himself? Wow indeed if he did. @Artheusa and everyone who read my post - thanks for indulging me in my ramblings. Moon Lovers is like an alternate universe for me (just like BBJX). We live in the modern world so we can understand Hae Soo/Ruoxi's predicament in ancient times. I am not sure which is better - to love so deeply and die of a broken heart or just have a peaceful, ordinary existence in the modern world. We can have both as an audience - love deeply through the heroine but still have semblance of real life while watching it. Hahahaha! Can't say that I am not upset about the ratings but...MLSHR has not been a disappointment. The production could be better executed and have more episodes to develop some of the side characters. However, the actors made up for the shortfall. If so many of us are obsessed with this drama - something must be really good about it! Anyway to each his own - I am going to enjoy the rest of the 5 episodes and re-watch it like a classic with a glass of wine (in the likes of BBC's Pride & Prejudice - Colin Firth, Persuasion - Ciaran Hinds, BBJX, Nirvana in Fire) for years to come. *Cheers to all the fans of this show! * 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBS may possibly broadcast the special episode on Wednesday, Nov. 2, probably around the same time slot when they aired a special episode on Sept. 14 (that was Wednesday also). If an extra episode will indeed be broadcasted, "Moon Lovers" special episode will definitely show compilation of directors cut from "Moon Lovers" episode 1 to episode 20, or it may even feature extended screen time of Hae Soo (Lee Ji Eun) and Wang So (Lee Joon Gi) in modern era (how they met and their relationship - cross fingers).

junee22 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi Chingudeul!! So I was deliberately avoid the thread..forgive me..it's just that I need to restrain myself from all the emotions that piled up inside my heart..and it's worth for me. After a long ( for me a week is veerry long) avoided every convo about MLSHR, I now can watch the drama with a whole new mind set...I finally feel all the excitements, enjoy and funs that were missing.....actually I was more like avoiding all the negatives side....Still love and try to find the positives... And here I am..back to the thread and love for MLSHR (I never lost the love for it by the way..even though I avoided talking about it..it's still has a very special place in my heart) and suddenly read the article about LJG's feelings about the ratings..and I'm so sad..my heart hurts because of that. So I read on Scarlet Heart Ryeo twitter about the video from fans???Chingu yaaa....I already suggested that in this forum thread when we reached episode 9 or 10?I forgot and I can't track when and at what page.....but no one...I mean NO ONE responded to that..just like..but no responds..at all...and we're going to do this..now?? when we already reached ep16??? I realized this thing earlier....because I feel sad for all the casts and crews...I just hope that you realized this sooner like me...(I mean no one responded) Read here about the video fans https://twitter.com/MoonLoversSBS Oh well, anyway..I'm glad that FINALLY...someone realize this..though a little later then me..(which makes me more sad) I'm going to post my happy pill here to lift our mood...I made this photogrid last night..hope you all like it 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
