clarissasan Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 2 hours ago, enigmatic_zephy said: Completely skipped my mind.. can someone help me remind when did HS realize she fell in love with WS? After lady oh's death, WS went away.. HS was sent to laundry dept... time skip.. Ws returns but HS rejects him then.. Infact the king dies and up until that moment HS has not considered WS romantically? And Mu becomes the king.. What happened then? I cn't recall... I remember those outings at night and star gazing..where WS is wooing her and she is playing hard to get (meaning she has started to look at him in a romantic way).. But what happened inbetween.. I also wondering the same thing. In my opinion, Hae Soo started to fall in love with WS when he drank the poison to protect her. (I'm not sure though) I don't know why but her monologue in jail was like a hint of her feeling. Before, she always build a thick wall for WS, not letting herself falling in love and she succeed, but this poisoning thing was like a huge wrecking ball to that wall Spoiler I know before 'poisoning' episode there were already make up scene, beach scene, but in all that scene HS only saw WS as her friend and her feeling stayed loyal to WW. Though there must be a confusing feeling inside her, but she still determined and her feeling for WW remained strong. I'm sure her feeling for WS has grown but can't be called as 'love' yet. In earlier episode though, HS's feeling for WS is more like caring for a family or bestfriend. Spoiler When they meet again, HS as laundry lady, she was still in complete denial because she still hope for WW (but realized it wouldn't happened) and she didn't want to cause any more trouble for WS. She realized she was a burden to him. When WW questioned her 'Is the king already dead?' and his statement about him wanted to be a king, I think that's the turning point of her feeling. After that, she started to let go of her feeling for WW and started to accept the fact that she has feeling for WS all this time. Sadly in Mu's reign there was no clue of the progression of their relationship, a complete untold 2 years. We only can conclude that HS being a court lady must be very busy, having such limited free time and WS as Mu's trusted brother must given many tasks inside or outside the palace, to another kingdom etc. I think they seldom meet but still keep in contact occasionally. Maybe they can see each other daily at the palace but just casual meeting. 'Watching star together scene' happened after 2 years of Mu's reign and WS still saying something like 'don't give me false hope, It's torture' hinted that he also not sure of how HS felt toward him. Maybe because she treated other prince like that too and WS couldn't see the difference between 'caring' and 'loving' before. I think the important thing from this untold 2 years is that all those years has made WS realized the differences between caring and loving. I'm certain that in 'boat scene', HS wanted to finally confess her feeling if WS proposed to her. Unfortunately the history should remain unchanged and WS pretend to forgot what he want to say If WS proposed to her that day she would accept it for sure!! No doubt! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ktcjdrama Posted October 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2016 So what did I do to get out of a miserable mood due to ep.18? Watch RM ep.314 featuring prince 3rd, 4th, 8th!! Got some good laughs out of it. Was going to save watching it until after the drama finished so that my image of the princes is not affected. But well, my mood was really lousy this week so need some happy pills. I actually tried again to watch the slow motion youtube video of their last date at Lantern Festival (more than one try, I tell you) but couldn't get past the part when the singer started singing "Remember love you, I love you". My eyes just got teary and I just had to pause the video. Arrgh, these two are killing me.... seriously... Someone yesterday shared and reminded us to be careful when driving coz the MLSHR was just affecting her too much... It happened to me too this morning! I was driving to a very early morning meeting that is quite a distance away requiring me to go onto the highway. The road was rather empty and quiet, then somehow I thought about our couple, and before I knew it, I started tearing up thinking about how far they've come, and how much they've gone through to finally be able to be together, but now they have to separate. All because of the machinations of those selfish people! Urgh! I didn't pull over coz I was running late already, but really, that's how bad this last episode has affected me. One tip while driving tho', play any catchy song that is nothing close to Korean or ballads to avoid thinking too much about our star-crossed lovers. 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinniet Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm thinking of binge watching MLSHR only So-Soo scenes tonight because analyzing about them already gives me severe headache (and heartache) without having to analyze for other characters. I feel like I've lost the flow of their relationship, blame it on two eps/week. The final eps are coming and I know I'll regret if I watch those w/o the full comprehension of the whole story. I'm still on my holiday anyway. I thought by travelling I could escape MLSHR torture for a week but... there's really no way to escape from this show 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the internet streaming and stuff one can't always control the "where is something popular?", but I have to confess I do not know anyone in my area who does watch k-drama ... I bet there are, but I don't know anyone ... I am always looked at as if I am really strange ... well I am ... Still, I could not cope watching the 2. of the c-version ... I did not like it ... so I don't mind, if they won't throw a 2. k-version onto us ... I am happy with what I have here right now Exactly, we can never sure so a bit unfair to draw a conclusion out with what we read. TV ratings is based on 2000 selected households only. Result from the selected sample may not be accurate. Counts on online streaming is more accurate but big chance it may include overseas viewers. If you looks at ratings in that timeslot, looks like dramas only hold between 30-35% of the total viewership. It's a tough market for these dramas to compete for less than a third of the whole market. So the other 65-70% are watching something else. So the majority of the population don't watch drama so even if you ask someone from Korea, it is highly possible that the person doesn't watch it. Re. Part 2, I don't think it would be as compelling to watch unless if they have a powerful script or maybe develop a new character. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post virsvirs Posted October 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm rewatching some of my fav scenes of MLSHR from the beginning eps, and it pains me to know that this amazing saeguk drama has only 2 episodes left!!

Rose3 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Re-watched episode 18 again. Some of the loud, crazy thoughts going inside my brain when watching for the second time: *crazy mode* Spoiler AGAIN I WATCH WHEN HAE SOO SAYS SHE CANNOT…AND THE OST START…OMG GIRLLLLLL WAE WAE WAE!!!!!…WHYYYYYYYYYYYY…THE OSTs IS REALLY GOOD…THE LYRICS AND THE MUSIC REALLY AMPLIFIES THE SCENE…AND THEY STRAIGHT AWAY SHOWS THE NEXT SCENE YEONHWA FACE...SHE'S MARRYING WANG SO WITH THAT WIND OST…OMG IT IS LIKE A BIG SLAP TO MY FACE..THE AUDIENCE FACE…..AND THAT YEONHWA GIRL FOXXX SMILE….OMG…AND THEN THEY SHOW HAE SOO LOOKING AT THE QUEEN WADROBE AND WEARING THAT WADROBE WITH WANG SO VOICE OVER YOU MY ONLY QUEEN OMGGGGG SO SADDDDD WITH THE SAD OST I WANT TO CRYYYYY….WRITER AND PD SO SADIST... *calm down mode* I am generally more fine this time round, since I get over the episode though some parts just released my crazy mode. This is my saddest So-Soo scene. At the last scene before Queen Yo's death, she touches specifically Wang So's scar area, that is her weakness because it reminds her Taejo’s love that she can’t never have. The OSTs in this drama are really flaw-free! The lyrics are sad and touching. The music really amplifies the scene. Only Im Sun Hae's song I can't put on repeat despite how beautiful it is. That song is used for all death scenes and thus I don't want be reminded over and over again of them, I will go insane. I am going to do another post. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know right. They are gold but so sad. We all need to set-up MLSHR rehabilitation group after this. But I think I will move on maybe after a week, time will do the thing. Keep yourself distracted and busy with real life. That may work, I guess. Hahas. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to watch episode 19 and 20 with my sisters and mom. I will return to my home town on Monday. That's nice. You have your support system for MLSHR ending . I am going to watch it alone. I have to do some preparation. Tissues, Chocolate (just in case I need instant therapy), pillow (to punch if YH appears and try to seduce WS), and keeping all valuable object far far away (just in case I wanna destroy it all out of frustration) . 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauexclusive Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Your most favorite So-Soo scene: That first time they met. The one with the road rage scene scene. He was on the horse and he picked her up with his awesomeness! Exactly! - Your most heart breaking So-Soo scene: (SBS version if I'm not mistaken) When SO drank the last full cup of the poison and looking at Soo as she walks by. Yeah and don't forget that time when he was following her and he coughed blood. - The most favorite So moment: At the prison. He had a moment there after he said "Always lecturing" that expression in his eyes. It's like he is stopping himself from crying. - The most favorite Soo moment: headbutt scene haha - Which scene that makes your heart flutter? That time when WS crush touched his scar. - Which scene that makes you cry a river: EUNs' last request to his brother when he is about to die. - Which scene that makes you want to smack something near you? When CR being punished of all places why Damiwon, HS not knowing why. That's a "foul" "girlfriend bypass" move by WS. - Which scene that makes you hooked forever for MLSHR? 4th episode last part when they are having a meaningful convo. Ws was like ogling her. - Which So scene that makes you want to watch over and over again? First encounter of SoSoo EunSoo fight scene Scene when So killed the monks, he looked like kenshin himura samurai x there! Besties first conversation at the prayer tower HS gave her YES by initiating the kiss! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for this to happen, the moment when Gwangjong punish Wook. And again, Lee Joon Gi's spectacular actor I can't help saying again and again how much I love watching him as WangSo/Gwangjong. This role suits him as a glove. I am waiting for that scene.

pauexclusive Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I just want to point out that the time he killed the monks he looked like kenshin himura (samurai X) and they both have the "Xfactor" which is the SCAR. They both gave 2 dozens of men a swift death. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post liddi Posted October 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2016 12 hours ago, enigmatic_zephy said: Is there a way to read these? as in are these formed out of some set of symbols? Or there are tons and tons of hieroglyphics depicting a word and one needs to remember all of them? @enigmatic_zephy I am no linguistic expert by any stretch of imagination but this is what I do know. Hanja originated from traditional Chinese characters, which in itself evolved from a combination of pictures and words to represent the final meaning. Take for example the word 忍 "endure" which is made up of 刃 (blade) sitting on top of the character 心 (heart), so basically representing the blade of a knife placed over the heart, i.e. being forced to tolerate something that is painful to bear. In the case of Soo's name, 樹 means "tree" and you can see the evolution of the character below, which starts from a combination of a graphical representation of the planting of a seedling, and the word for "bean" to its final incarnation today. In different parts of the world (e.g. China, Singapore etc), the Chinese characters used are the simplified version, so Soo's name is now written as 树 rather than the original 樹, though the traditional form is still used in other parts of the world such as Taiwan, Hong Kong etc. I would say for the most part, the simplified format has lost a lot of its symbolic meaning compared to its traditional counterpart. I do find Soo's name to be an unusual one... certainly not one that is typically given to females as far as I know. Strangely enough, in BBJX, Ruoxi refers to 4th Prince as the large tree that she might find protection and refuge. In this case, So's only friends in his growing up years were trees, and it's ironic that the woman he loves, is also named thus, perhaps symbolically representing his place of refuge as well, even if he ended up inadvertently destroying her despite his overwhelming love. What would So be without his emotional place of refuge in the end, the one place he can find rest and comfort for his weary heart? 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post meahri_1 Posted October 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2016 Despite all the flaws, I'm going to really miss this drama and our OTP. Sharing one of my favorite FMV's. She would have been a beautiful queen. The real Gwangjong was a good king that did become more of a tyrant at about the 9th year of his reign. As theorized by Joy of Asia (and I believe, some of our chingu here), if you overlay our drama's story over Goryeo's actual history, the change in Gwangjong would occur about the time of Haesoo's passing. As part of our OTP's story, it would make sense that his world would no longer be the same without Soo's presence. I know things would have been different 'if only' Haesoo had made certain choices, or 'if only' So had not felt so betrayed at finding out that Wook was the person Soo had previously had in her heart. BUT, because both are in an environment so mired in intrigue, greed and distrust, there will always be factors or elements conspiring against them. At the end of the day, Go Hajin was never meant to stay in Goryeo. I am dreading seeing them part, and already find myself pained at knowing how hurt and miserable they both will be. And I find myself so torn because I'm not ready to see our drama end...but yet I'm so very desperate to see them both find each other in the future and finally find happiness together. IT. WILL. HAPPEN. I wonder if it will be easier to let them and the drama go when I know they're finally happy. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
