Did you guys notice that on the kiss when HS put her hand on WS neck she pulled him in closer?

Woah... Our HaeSoo is kinda aggressive... no wonder the candle light went out.

Lady Bear IG post and both LJG and Baekhyun replied to it. Anyone knows what they said?

 My google translate was only able to translate LJG reply- he said, "Well Done, you have worked hard and meet again "

I was so devastated to see them die

@cojulie

The post says: "Your Highness, don't get lost on your way to the future. Even if foxtails (Korean for this is puppy grass) are pretty and the breeze is nice, don't get distracted (Korean expression for being distracted is to "sell one eye") so that we can surely meet again in the future"

Baekhyun replied with "Soon Deok..." and LJG said "Well done, Soon Deok, you worked. hard. Hope you two meet again in a modern drama."

Thank you Ruizaio!  

Seems like Lee Joon Gi is a EunDeok Shipper.  This is my second favorite couple...I enjoyed all their scenes together.

No, there is a huge difference. Wang Wook has always wanted to become the king, but he hid it very well. When Hae Soo appeared, he fell in love with her, nevertheless he was hesitating to choose between the throne and her. That's why he made so many promises and asked her to wait... until Wang So really appeared as a rival. From that moment, he proposed to her and decided to give up the throne in order to have her. But it was in my opinion only a temporary decision. I am sure, at some point, he would have tried to come back. However, the poisoning incident (episode 11) happened and due to YH's words, he realised that if he decided to stay by Hae Soo's side, he would definitely lose the chance to become king therefore he abandoned her. Wang Wook tried to justify himself in front of Hae Soo that he was powerless... and if he were a king, he would protect her. But truth is that he used Hae Soo for his own benefit and not only once but twice.

- He wanted to kill Wang So (episode 13)

- the poisoning of Mu

I had mentioned it before, it was Wang Wook's selfishness that pushed Hae Soo away. Wang So's proposal to Hae Soo illustrates it. Wang So decided to become the king for other reasons: not out of hunger for power, but out of love. He wanted to end the bloodsheet between the brothers. He wanted to make sure that not just Hae Soo was protected but all the others, including himself. Wang Wook has never been used as tool or even dog... while Wang So had to do the dirty work that Wang Wook and Yo had put on him!!! Out of self-preservetion, whereas Wang Wook had never been in real danger the entire time: he plotted against Mu and Yo, then again against Mu. He could have just supported the king! But no, it was not enough... he was aiming at the throne. Wang So never did such a thing. Wook is indirectly the reason why Wang So wanted to become the king. Wang Wook has never been threatened by Mu, yet he had him poisoned through CR and Won! 

 

Yeah, I know what you're saying. However, that way I see it, what propels Wook forward to pursue the throne more "openly" is because of his helplessness and inability to take control of life, and the circumstances around him. Yes, I would say that Wook does pursue the throne for his own selfish reasons, but by examining the previous episodes, we can see his justifications. His reasons are as just as So's. For instance, Wook having to watch his own mother beg Queen Yoo and him stating that YH knew he couldn't abandon his parent and sister. Don't forget that his family was once exiled and he had to kill someone when he was very young in order to protect them. There was also a scene where Wook says openly that he did consider HS when he committed treason, and asked what was so wrong with him pursuing the throne to protect his (family?) and heart. These are underlying reasons for his pursuit of the throne. Someone made a comment earlier stating that Wook was confined in a system that does not allow himself to be free. This is a parallel to So, who also seeks freedom from the very same system. I believe the two men pursue the throne for the same things, but the way they go about it is different.

This may be kind of late, but I'll post it anyway.

 

General talks about his daughter scene:

G: I said that once. That the thirteenth prince is a remarkable person, and the fourteenth prince is skilled in martial arts, so you should marry one of them. But this girl, she went on and married the tenth prince. Because he was her first love. 

G: If only I had known, I would have stopped her. No, even if I had consented, it would have turned out this way. Because my Soondeuk-ie is that kind of girl. Because she doesn't know to be sorry.

G: I'll ask you one thing. Did my Soondeuk-ie receive a lot of love from the prince?

HS: They loved each other very, very much.

G: Then that's enough. That's enough. That's enough. Soondeuk-ah. There was nothing more your father could have done for you. Soondeuk-ah.

WJ: I'll kill him. I'll kill him.

HS: No, you mustn't. 

WJ: I'll kill him. Before he murders us all, I'll kill him first.

HS: He'll be wanting that. That's what he wants. It's not his fault. It will be hard for him too.

 

Backhug scene:

HS: Are you leaving without even stopping by? You didn't come for over two years. It seems that you really have forgotten.

WS: That's right. I only turned onto the wrong path and ended up here.

~~~~(*backhug*)~~~~

HS: Not me, not yet. You left freely as you pleased, so put up with this. I deserve to get that much.

HS: Do you sleep well? How about your eating habits? Do you still hate me?

 

Kiss scene:

HS: None of the princes are watching. I risked my life and entered here to ask you this. And there wasn't a day I didn't wait for this during the last two years. I wished, and wished to return to that time. So, I wanted to say that I believe.

HS: I'll ask you once again, answer me. Don't lie, just tell me. Do you.. still... love me?

~~~(*kiss*)~~~

 

 

I was totally unprepared for both the kiss and the backhug. They are no longer holding anything back! You go girl!!!

Edit: Translations for both versions of the preview were posted, right?

SOBBING.

I haven't even watched the episode yet and I am SO excited to do so. 

Also side topic: HOT DAMN, LJG and IU can sell a kiss. Look at their mutual ones so far I am DYING, and this is with IU not even participating THAT much. It's still FIRE. *fans self* 

I've seen gifs and pics of the Pegasus moment and...can Pegasus be the SoSoo mascot? Along with that BLACK CANDLE OF SKINSHIP?

just saw the SBS version, I can't believe they intended to delete Wang Yo's having a heart attack scene! are you kidding me! the directing of that scene was great, it was scary, good thing they added it, I've already said that before but man I'm gonna miss Wang Yo...can't they keep him & take Jung, Wook & Won instead? lol the ending of each character in Moon Lovers is always unforgettable & painful, I felt bad for Wang Yo, part of me wanted him to die in battle or killed but I guess this ending is what he deserve & I hope his mom get an ending like this or worse 

I wish they had the scene when WY got the heart attack, but instead they just said that the monk with him got hit by lightning. Boy! talk about heaven's will

Yes, I much prefer the broadcast version of the "night of passion". It seems to make a lot more sense that when he leaned over for a second bout of lip action that it would be followed by the flickering candle snuffing out and the two of them enjoying the afterglow of whatever transpired afterwards.  The hug though nice was an odd prelude to home runs and miscellaneous activities in the dark.

Putting out candles must be the new euphemism for doing the deed in sageuk these days. 

Though I haven't yet caught up with all the dialogue, I also thought that it was a nice change that Su put in all the hard yards in this episode. After playing hard to get for long, it's good to see her looking desperate, running around trying to reconnect with her man and pleading for reassurances. The desperation is what I liked especially. It almost feels like she's being punished retributively for making him work so hard in those early days.  Not that I didn't enjoy seeing So jumping through the hoops and do his bit as prospective lover. But there's some pleasure to be gained by seeing Su turn into a sooky mess every time he's not around or when he's trying so hard not to fall apart in front of her.

What to do, I feed off angst. It must be why I suffer incredible addiction pangs for this show.

However on a more serious note, it demonstrates to me that Su has finally set aside all her fears, hangups to be with the man she has learnt to love.  She may or may not "fallen in love" but she has certainly learnt to love him. She had to come to this place on her own (with a little help from circumstances)... because at the end of the day, I believe she will be the one to make the big sacrifices so that he can become King and truly consolidate his power as Gwangjong. 

With all the rushing around that this show does with many other things, I still believe firmly that the development of So-Su as a couple is the best thing about this drama. I know many people don't agree and I've read all the complaints but for me and some others here, I have absolutely embraced the progression. I think it's somewhat bold of a K drama to allow the OTP to start with friendship and go on a journey where the female lead thinks she's in love with some other guy while the real soul mate seems to do his song and dance for the longest time much to the frustration of everyone. Not me of course... because I have loved every single moment of this journey with them. For that reason I think, it will make what comes later even more heartbreaking... if it follows closely the broad trajectory of the novel or C-version.

Much as I love that they're both truly invested in this relationship now, I will miss the slow burn, the build-up and the banter. That scene where he's standing by the lake reminiscing of happier times was perfectly placed to show how far they've come.

But the progression works. It certainly works in the show. It helps that the actors have chemistry and they can act. Both LJG and LJE can dial up the angst and the tension when called for it.

This is certainly turning out to be my favourite K drama romance... maybe... ever... Yes, fate's involved like every single K drama that's ever made but fate shows us why these two need to be together despite the odds and maybe even despite fate itself moving in ways that seek to undermine what they have.

Well I'll be back after attending to kids to write more about the rest of the episode. I have lots to say. Unfortunately for you guys, I think I'll be writing quite a few essays today.

I just realized something - if Chae Ryung gets promoted to sanggung once Soo becomes the "King's woman", I'm going to lose it. Imagining her in charge of the Damiwon - no, just NO. (That gives Won an insane amount of power to make trouble for So and seriously, that snake needs to die already.)
