Hi all - I'm a newbie who's been lurking for a bit, but I finally had to join because this drama has taken over my life, lol.

Anyways, not sure if this was discussed already - regarding Wook's scene when he repeats Soo's warning to him and then tells Yeon Hwa combined with Yeon Hwa's warning to Soo later on at Damiwon... (Spoiler cut just to be safe.)

  Reveal hidden contents

Does anyone else think that Yeon Hwa will be the one to tell Soo that it was her warning about So that set off Wook? I'm basing this off reading the cdrama wiki section, lol. I'm sure Yeon Hwa will have perfect timing and this will happen after Soo's miscarriage, setting off the similar events from the cdrama.

 

Also, I cannot with Jung. I will not be surprised in the slightest if his "I will kill him" line in the preview is in regards to So despite Yo being the one with the bow and arrows. I'm really anxious about how the Eun dying scene will play out, ugh.

Greetings and welcome!  I can certainly understand the "drama has taken over my life" sentiment.  Haven't seen Ep. 15 yet, waiting for the subtitles so I don't have to get all angsty for nothing but I wouldn't be surprised if  YH is behind the mercury poisoning thing also...

Today's moral of the story is: Clean up after you play!!  

I was looking forward to the flashback scenes of child actors (instagram of cast and crew is spoilerific), but I was just flabbergasted at how openly Ji Mong talked about the two princes having the star of king. What a moron!!! The dialogue in general has been really crude in this show (and I'm not talking about the lack of sageuk tone, although that doesn't help), and that stood out especially more so in this episode. For example, calling the daughters of Wang Kyu queens - only one of them was, which is late Mu's wife, but they weren't referring to her. The other two daughters of Wang Kyu were just concubines, and only one of them had a child, Prince Gwangjuwon (Eun/10th in MLSHR). But then again, Lady Hwangbo (Wook1 and Queen Daemok - Yeon Hwa in MLSHR - 's mother) wasn't supposed to be queen either. She was only promoted later when her grandson became king.  

Seeing that there is at least one scene that didn't make it to either version of the episodes based on the pictures posted by Namoo Actors, I'm still hoping for a release of a complete edition. Argh.

It's also interesting how the trailer for episode 16 differs between the domestic and international versions. Domestic one focuses more on the So-Soo romance, while the international version focuses more on how Wang So finally decides to become king himself. Yay.

While the lines of Ji Mong suggests that maybe the Korean version is messing with history, I wonder why they chose Wook as the 8th prince for this adaptation. Historically, Yo, So, and Wook were on the same team so that So and Wook's children intermarried and their descendants took turns taking the throne. Why did they choose the Hwangbo prince as the main rival of Wang So? Why not Wang Won (9th in MLSHR) who is officially the only brother that Gwangjong actually kills or his older brother (who does not appear in MLSHR)? It just really leaves a bad taste in my mouth to see how low Wook is falling and yet he can't die because then history will be completely different. 
But then again, what's the point of wondering about that now. All I want to see is just So finally taking the throne and living happily ever after with Soo. ...like that's gonna happen.

Is the king aiming HS or astronom guy? Will he kill him that will richard simmons WS off? Looks like it's right after eun's death...but i'm not sure...many ???...love this drama

AKMU – BE WITH YOU (MOON LOVERS: SCARLET HEART RYEO OST)

I’m laughing for no reason
I’m thinking of you again
Is this similar to what love is?
The afternoon sun and the night moon
They don’t know my heart
be with you

cry cry don’t ever cry
I hope you’re not sad baby
Now I finally know what love is

fly fly forever fly
With you, all day, forever
I want you
I want your love

Am I not in your heart?
If only this could easily be done by myself

I don’t want to be nervously burning up
I want to make you mine

to you
It’s too far for me to walk over awkwardly
What is a good distance for us?
The moment our eyes met
I think about it every night
What can I do to stop confusing you?

I’m laughing for no reason
I’m thinking of you again
Is this similar to what love is?
The afternoon sun and the night moon
They don’t know my heart
be with you

We may not know how our time together will be
But your embrace is right in front of me
I want to feel you as if you’re mine

When I see you
I choked as if I was coughing
But actually, I was trying to cover up my laugh

Sometimes, I yawned as if I was tired
But actually, tears fell because I like you so much

I can’t hide my feelings
Because I’m so desperate for you
Please tell me that we are one

Baby i just want to
be your love, I will love you
Even after a year passes

I’m laughing for no reason
If I’m by your side
Even during days of heartache
I won’t want to cry
If I’m going to close my eyes and wait
Can I go to you first?
be with you

cry cry don’t ever cry
I hope you’re not sad baby
Now I finally know what love is

fly fly forever fly
With you, all day, forever
I want you
I want your love

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Lol, I agree about not being surprised if YH was behind the mercury poisoning since I could see her having a hand in so many things, but I do think she was left completely out of the loop this time. I think that was all Wook (w/ help from Won and CR, bleh). If she had been part of the plot against Mu, I think it would've been hinted at already (like, sly looks between her and Won or whatever, lol) since now the story's already moving past it.

Honestly, I think YH was fine biding her time with Mu as the new king since he seemed to be a rather peaceful ruler with no motivation to marry her off. In her case, I think she was playing the waiting game but then Wook took matters into his own hands. (Obligatory 'eff u, Wook'. Mu deserved none of it!! ;___; )

[Latte_Anyday 14,034]

Oh my God this Drama has gone crazzzyyyy!! So much bloodshed it's like a really, really bad horror movie with bodies falling down like flies left and right yikes Soon Deok's interaction with Wang Jung was cute, almost wished they were paired instead of with Wang Eun However it is tragic how that last scene where Wang Eun pulled away from Haesoo to meet his fate... He finally manned up although it came too late

I am really despising how mostly everyone refers to Wang So as a dog He's a human being for goodness sakes. But such a pitiful character as well, having to do everyone's bidding with no free will of his own When Wang Yo told Yeonhwa she was to marry, I can't say I felt sorry for her at all. I did feel slightly sad for Wang Wook who has completely shut down in ep. 15. He seems to be this soulless sociopath resigned to his fate and thinks Wang So's the cause to all his misfortune. When really Wook should've looked inside of himself to know it was the choices he made that put him in his current predicament.  

And geez I always knew Wang Won the ninth Prince was a bit of a jerk but I certainly didn't see him as evil and despicable as the third Prince!

Hi all,

I've been a silent reader in this forum and I really like all the analysis here...

The next week preview is somewhat intrigue me since a lot of eclipses here post the picture from LJG's insta ^^ and comparing it with the preview.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I don't think the scar in WS' body will be due to the arrow that aimed for HS (if, WY really shoot HS, that is) since in the episode 2 (when WS was taking the ritual bath), the drama has shown that his body was full of scars.

 

On a side note, I really invest a lot of time for this drama. I never try to read a recap nor join in a forum for the sake of drama but now here I am, lurking in Soompi just to read others' analysis and perspectives for this drama as a whole ^^

Nice to meet you all Eclipses \^o^/

[zagigirl 31,552]

Wonder could have So been able to save Eun and his wife if HS told him where they were?  Ithink she made a mistake to keep that from him..general's daughter told her right...she should trusted him

[fuyukoneko 2,018]

If WS couldn't get HS out of the palace, why would he be successful in getting Eun and his wife out? And not sure why Eun's wife didn't try harder to contact her father instead of trying to escape the palace on her own. If she has enough freedom to check that all of the gates are closely guarded, she should be able to find her father or one of her father's soldiers. Or, why did Eun and his wife sneak into the palace instead running away immediately?

Welcome to the thread! Feel free to share your thoughts. You may be right, maybe Lee Joon Gi showing the preview to promote the drama and for fan-service lol. Ikr, what this drama does to us? 

I just love this drama, all the emotions that riled up against this drama is interesting. Lol, you don't know what to expect. And we only have 5 episodes left. Just 5 episodes. Let's enjoy this drama while we have it. How I wish we have longer episodes. 

P.S I am wondering how they are going to squeeze 5 episodes with many things to happen. 

[andy78 139,219]

Having said that, the SBS historical drama has continued to struggle against its primetime rivals. KBS 2TV's "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" recorded a nationwide rating of 17.9 percent, while MBC's "Woman with a Suitcase" accumulated 8.2 percent.

Many fans see the special broadcast of "2016 Pro Baseball Wild Card Game" as the culprit behind "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo's" low rating. On Oct. 8, Saturday, local newsoutlet OSEN, as cited by Naver, reported that the airing of the show's 14th episode will depend on the results of the wild card match between the KIA Tigers and LG Twins.

Despite the slight drop in viewership ratings, "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo" has gained immense popularity not just in South Korea and mainland China, but as well as in the Middle-East and in the North America.

With only five episodes left, SBS has released an interview with Lee, who plays 4th Prince Wang So in the historical drama. There, the "Scholar Who Walks the Night" actor shared his thoughts on the show's growing fame overseas.

"I'm extremely grateful," Lee said in a statement obtained by The Kpop Herald. "Every culture is different and they have different tastes. I'm glad we satisfy their tastes, and it also really interests me. When I read feedback and encouraging comments on my social media, I feel like I want to be a better actor."

I saw some of episode 15 and "heavy is the head that wears the crown" is an understatement.

I will just get right to it.  Hae Soo needs to learn that her feelings constantly betray her. When in times of peril, you have to be smart, use your head, because your heart may make you make the wrong decisions. I don't know what grade she received in history, but clearly she has some of her facts wrong. But more importantly, it shows that sometimes what is written in history isn't what has actually happened. At this point, she should realize that, and more importantly, she should understand that her place there may have altered some things.

But back to the episode, how telling was it that when she found out that the King was looking for Eun and his wife after killing his entire family, that she automatically assumed 4th Prince would kill him. And how ironic was it that as she served tea to the King, here comes her "innocent" 8th Prince coming to meet the King in private and here he was the mastermind behind the entire coup, and couldn't even look her in the face when she inquired about who could have killed King Moo. 4th Prince, time and time again has shown her that he is a compassionate man, a loyal man, and that he unconditionally loves her. Meanwhile, 8th prince, time and time again, has disappointed her, lied to her, betrayed her and has shown her he loves his family and their status more than her.

I don't know how Hae Soo can come back to the present, but clearly her fate is somehow tied to the 4th Prince, not the 8th prince. She needs to receive that, accept it, and act accordingly. What has me perplexed is how no one else has noticed what So has. Why has the king left 8th prince and his family alone? After all, he betrayed him in front of everyone. What is particularly cruel is the whole plot to go after Eun and his family was definitely thought up by 8th prince. Even when they were all together, 3rd prince had no qualms with Eun, but like So said, it was a clever move to move aside such a powerful family, and the king would not have thought of that. The only reason he hasn't gone after 8th Prince is because he is so smart. We'll see how long that lasts.

I would also like to point out, I have really enjoyed the maturation of Eun and Soen Dook. They have become a really great couple, really cute and genuine. I know people complained about him in earlier episodes, but I have enjoyed his character. He balanced the drama out. This has been a fantastic seguk thus far. I haven't enjoyed one this much since Faith. FIGHTING GORYEO CHINGUS!!!
