i know !!!i totally agree with you...all we can do is hope that the people behind him ,his staff will watch him and stop him before he does some huge mistakes in time!God help us all!!!

 

We had so many problems in Brazil this year, that I look into the american results and just think: nah, richard simmons happens all the time.

I'm really sorry for America, but we have so many issues, that this looks like nothing... for now. Let's wait and see what he is gonna do.

We have our own trump here too, a cinical man called Bolsonaro, who is just as bad as him. FYI, when he voted to impeach former president Dilma Roussef, he praised an old dictator who used to torture woman - puting rats in her vaginas.

i think she have some affection for him unknowingly, and became confused when he almost kiss her.. but since her feeling for WW is stronger then (or being loyal as she is), she tried to avoid his advances... but still she cant ignore him with all the sacrifices he did for her (i mean who wouldnt fall for that?)

if only they didnt do so much time jumps i guess its between the 2 years during CP reign, where she really decided to forget WW, then she'll have a heart to open for WS just for him. we can see how close they already are during HS birthday (that stargazing scene)

Actor Hong Jong Hyun talks about 'Moon Lovers' co-star IU

By elliefilet  

Actor Hong Jong Hyun opened up about his 'Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo' co-star IU in an interview TV Report on November 9.

Hong Jong Hyun was asked about his chemistry with IU, and he answered, "We started working together in the middle of the series. I listened to IU's music a lot before that. I knew she wrote and composed her own songs, and I always thought of her as a sensitive person," adding that he was right about his impression of her.

He added, "Because she's someone who does music, she was able to express sensitive feelings well. She was also mature for her age. She looks very small, thin, feminine, and like she'd get tired soon, but she's not like that at all. I don't know if it's because her stamina's good or if she just withstood it, but she has more strength than an average man. She held her form from beginning to end."

Hong Jong Hyun concluded, "Though acting isn't her original career and she's still gaining experience, she was extremely professional."

We can all meet by the pool tonight and warp ourselves to Goryeo, I'm thinking we could be like a bunch of fangirl stalking SoSoo moments as they happen in real time.

On out of topic and more serious notes: Sending the biggest hugs and prayer to you all.

 

 

I'm down, what time?

Copying here what I shared on the main thread.

As @akinahana89 mentioned, she, myself, @LyraYoo and @peny have been discussing this at length and wanted to share our speculations with all of you.  Will there be a sequel? Unfortunately, we don’t think that’s going to happen, BUT, we don’t think so because there was always another plan in the works…specifically a feature film.  Will it happen? This was reported early on during the first few months of the shoot. As such, we have irrefutable confirmation that this info comes from a reliable source (click here).  So the real question is this: Will they proceed with their plans to release a feature film?

 

Odds Are Good

 

Spoiler

 

Yes. The odds look good it will happen. Here are a number of reasons we think it will:

 

1)      The NBCUniversal factor – From a business/revenue perspective, NBCUniversal would have focused on the international potential and not the domestic South Korean potential when deciding on their investment and participation. This MAY mean that the feature film will still be produced based on its international success and not how it fared domestically.

 

2)      Proven global success – SHR receiving the Grand Prize Award of Korea Global Brand firmly acknowledged SHR succeeding in its targeted international markets and beyond. Despite SHR not being considered one of SBS’ more successful dramas, at least based on Korea’s traditional rating system, the broadcasting company still profits from its international success and distribution.

 

3)      Opportunity to revive and/or increase interest in South Korea – The anticipated demand for the feature film may give the drama new legs by giving existing SK fans a chance to revisit the drama; and for those in SK who didn’t see it, an opportunity to check it out. Should the feature film also be distributed in South Korea (there’s a chance it might not be based on predecessor features done for dramas like Iris), it would give the South Korean audience an opportunity to see what was changed or improved.

 

4)      Demand for SoSoo/SoHae-focused version with a definitive ending – Of all the story arcs within SHR, the story of So and Soo remains the most popular. In fact, the open ending involving the two main characters has already created a huge demand for a definitive ending that would not only provide closure for the couple, but also for all the drama’s fans who are hoping the star-crossed lovers will have the opportunity to reunite. Since the alternative ending would definitely be a part of the feature film, we can assume that it will likely focus on the two main characters, thus many of the other characters and their story arcs will either be greatly abbreviated, or in some cases, cut out. What or who will make the cut??? If the feature happens, we’ll have to wait and see. One thing is for certain.  Going from 20+ hours of aired video and incorporating deleted or additional footage will definitely make the resulting piece quite different.

 

5)      Clues shared by the cast – Lee Joon Gi and IU’s recent IG posts were believed to have hinted at a possible sequel to the drama, but other than their posts, there’s nothing else that points to that happening.  Many assumed the missing 21^st century ending, as well as other deleted scenes might be shared in a special episode, but there is no news to confirm this either. What’s left, however, is the original plan to release a feature film. 

 

6)      PD Kim actually did something similar for the drama IRIS in 2009 (IRIS: The Movie  was the result.)  – Similarly, it would be a feature-length edit of the 20-episode drama, along with additional footage shot for the theatrical version which included a different ending (Iris’ ending didn’t actually change in the feature film, but it would definitely change for SHR since footage was specifically shot for it).  Sound familiar?

 

7)      Tight cast and crew continues to spend time together – While it’s true that the cast and crew became very close during the drama’s shoot, it’s been interesting to note that all the post-shoot dinners shared by members of the cast have also been attended by PD Kim and writer Jo Yoon Young. Why? Both are actually close to the cast, but it would make sense that there would be additional planning involved for the theatrical release. Because of the popularity of SoSoo/SoHae, it likely made sense to the PD, writer, and LJG that they help keep SHR and SoSoo’s popularity maintained until formal marketing could be put in place and initiated for the film.

 

8)      NBCUniversal to possibly manage the distribution and marketing effort – For many of you familiar with creating FMVs or accessing FMVs or English translations of BTS footage with Youtube as the primary platform, sometimes  you’ll see instances where access has been prohibited completely or by country because of copyright issues. For SHR, most of those copyright claims were initiated by SBS, but I found for myself here in the states that it was NBCUniversal who prohibited the sharing of a video I had done using clips from SHR. I didn’t think about this twice until we started discussing the possibility of the feature film.  If it happens, NBCUniversal assumes the role of ‘distributor’ and will be the entity executing those copyright claims.

By the way, I should note that if they move forward with the feature, there's a chance it will likely go straight to DVD and on-demand platforms.  If the teams trying to secure a director's cut DVD are experiencing any issues convincing PD Kim or the production team to approve and move forward with this project, a planned feature film might be the reason they say no.

EDIT: I never thought there was anything that would dim my love and excitement for SoSoo and SHR, but the US Election results is leaving me speechless. 

 

 

 

 

I copied this post from JoonU thread. ^^;

I'd like to add two further speculations to this:

1. Many SHR viewers assumed that the PD-nim overshot for the drama because he overestimated the amount of content he could use since the drama would be pre-produced. However, what if that had been his intention from the beginning? Shooting for both the drama and the film all in one go while the cast was still under contract obligations. As we all know, there were A LOT of cut scenes, some of which we only knew about from the SBS version of the drama and others we know about because it was mentioned by the cast. How many other scenes are there that we, as viewers, are completely unaware of? As an experienced PD, wouldn't it make more sense to say that he was shooting extras for the spin-off film feature to provide new content for it than to say that he overestimated the amount of content he could use?

2. In one of @ruizaio's last updates pertaining to the Director's Cut DVD, she had stated that the organizer had been in contact with the PD. PD-nim had told them he was tired and didn't want to discuss the DVD at that time. Initially, the organizers thought he must have been tired from re-editing the final two episodes of SHR, but it was eventually deduced that PD-nim was lying when the last two episodes of SHR on SBS were nearly identical to the international version. BUT, what if he was telling the truth and he was tired... not because he was editing the last two episodes of SHR, but because he was working on editing the spin-off feature film?

[ruizaio]

@wordsmyth0253 Right now, we're all just waiting for the director to say yes to the DVD/Blu-ray release. At this point, I'm losing hope because even if they start the process now, there won't be enough copies sold for this to go through and it will most likely be canceled.

@fengari Funny that you'd mention Faith. Actually, part of the reason why I started watching MLSHR was because I had hoped that it wouldn't have the same shortcomings that Faith did because it was a live production (the final episode couldn't contain everything that was in the script because they simply didn't have enough time to shoot all the scenes).

Spoiler

At first, LJG was the main lead in it with no time traveling element and just as a medical sageuk set in Goryeo, they started filming, the Korean army decides to kidnap LJG, he had to pay fines for canceling all his ongoing contracts and what not all because the Korean army wanted him in their musical (and then was careless to get him injured). At any rate, Faith eventually got Kang Ji Hwan as the next male lead and spent about 100 million dollars to shoot a trailer, but KJH also had lots of personal problems at the time (though not his fault), so he had to step down, Then the PD finally reunited with writer SJN to revamp the story and eventually got LMH on board and thanks to him was able to secure some funds to actually produce the drama. 

 

@akinahana89 I have not heard of anything about a spin-off film of MLSHR (although I wouldn't put it past him, seeing that there is a precedence with Jin Hyeok and Dr. Stranger) . Only Ji Soo has mentioned that the PD is interested in doing a Web Drama series, but we don't know how serious he is. At this point I think the PD's long since moved on from MLSHR and doesn't care about it as he's already made enough money from it.

@ruizaio I thought the DVD was near because of the reveling of that scene on IU's instagram.

I’m so sorry

I’m so sorry I left you

I’m so sorry

It had all been real. The people she had met, the friends she had watched die, her daughter being born.

Him.

She cried harder. If only she could go back. Not even to change what had happened, but just to talk to him again. To tell him he’s not alone.

She didn’t hear the other person in the room until he was right next to her.

“You look like you might need this.” He said.

He handed her a handkerchief.

“Thanks.” She took it and wiped the tears on her face, not taking her eyes off the picture of Gwangjong.

“Do you cry in front of paintings often?” The man asked.

“Just this one.” Go Ha Jin said, trying to not let the man see how hard she had been crying.

“I know what you mean. Every time I look at it I get this feeling of loneliness. Like I’ve lost something I’ll never get back.”

She didn’t say anything so the man continued.

“People have actually told me that I look like Gwangjong. I’m not sure I see it though.”

“Liar.” Go Ha Jin said. She realized too late it must have sounded rude, but no one could replace Wang So. Even if it was hundreds of years in the future.  

The man let out a small laugh. “We said we would never lie to each other.” 

I think my heart stop when i read the last line. And i started to cry. So beautiful. Love that ending So much

I thought we were close to getting the numbers we needed? Or did the unsatisfactory ending lead to people retracting their original intentions in wanting the DVD release?

And thanks for the info about this. I thought it was stated, based on the postings around Twitter and various websites, that there would be a spin-off film after the drama. I guess it's just another rumor then. Sigh.

Why does it seem like everything is going against MLSHR? T_T

Yeah D: it seems like this D: why? T___T 

[ruizaio]

@Gabi Bros The actors don't have anything to do with the DVD production. I'm starting to wonder if there is a psychological mind game going on between the actors and the production because all the interviews mention the edited out scenes and the production goes after those articles and gets rid of them. Same for Kang Hannah's comment to IU's IG post. Her comment confirmed that the hand with the handkerchief was Wang So's, but for whatever reason, she took it down.

@akinahana89 People quickly lose interest once the show is over. Also, if the specifications of the set isn't satisfactory (inclusion of most if not all deleted scenes for example), they won't actually order the DVD/Blu-ray set.

Actually LJG (and other cast member) saved this drama from that horrible post production fiasco. They should thanks the cast (especially LJG) otherwise no one would want to watch MLSHR. SBS even destroy the ratings with BASEBALL (I hate this sport because of SBS).
