Soo/So I was quite shocked when she was the first one to bow to WS and proclaim him king, but I probably should not have been she was the one who set him on the path to the throne in more ways than one. It was kind of great that in the end Yo gave her the choice of picking who she wanted to be king and she exercised that right by choosing So. Soo has done what YH couldn't she is the kingmaker. She essentially made Mu king by siding with WS and not telling Wook about Taejo dying, she made Yo because WS chose her over killing Yo to avenge Mu.

Brilliant!Didn't really think of that til you posted this.Lol.YH will never take HaeSoo's place in WangSo's heart.And she will never accomplish what she wanted(to become a kingmaker)....I guess at least til HaeSoo is gone and she has a son.

(Big sigh). I'm finally caught up with reading y'alls funny and wonderful comments. I feel like I'm missing out if I don't try to read everything. It's like a long novel with over a thousand pages. It's 1am in the morning here and I have to get up and be at work tomorrow by 7am. I'm sure by that time, I will be behind again in this forum and will have some catching up to do. This has been my life since this drama started.  Hardly any sleep and hardly any work being done at work.  I'm feeling conflicted as I'm sad the drama is coming to an end but at the same time I'll be happy that hopefully when it ends, I'll stop obsessing so much over this drama.  

 

Yes! This is me exactly too! I wake up on new episode days and suddenly I have 30+ pages to go through and I feel like I have to read it AAALLLL!   I will be happy but sad when the drama ends too. Then I can stop obsessing and go back to normal life. Lol

What I love the most about SoSoo couple is that they don't change their attitude towards one another despite shifting ranks and stuff. Hae Soo has always treated Wang So the same whether he was the outcast of the family and Goryeo or the King of Goryeo, her interest and respect towards him was to him as a person. Wang So extended the same courtesy and bond with her when he treated her the same whether she was a noble at the hae household or a court lady, musuri, prisoner, then she became head sangoong which is a powerful position and now she's the mistress of the king who is treated just like a queen. His attitude towards her never changed and the way he values her. YH on the other hand, when her oraboni can't offer her nothing, she bails, when she sees him as king, she wants some of that. wth?? The same with wook, when she's a noble, he treated her the best, then she became a court lady and he was like eh... and then a musuri and he was all like she's a musuri, and like talking about her rank being low and how a prince can't marry a maid and stuff. And then when she becomes head sangoong, he's a little more respectful towards her and now that she's the kings woman, he actually confronts her and holds a tantrum about it. WSxHS really have true, the truest love ever. It takes a wonderful heart to love despite rank differences. These two deserve their happy ending.

I finally read the recap at DB and I must say that many of the fans were not happy with this episodes.  We've witnessed many good acting prior to death (LO, Eun & SD, WY) but the poor directing and editing of the drama couldn't pacify the hearts of the fans that have been on a rollercoaster ride since last week. It's quite difficult to find comments liking last night's episode in any threads or forums TBH.

Alas, I looked up for comments that made me chuckle/feel good instead of being all mopey when it comes to my fav. drama, and I would like to share it with you guys here.  

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo: Episode 17

by HeadsNo2 | October 24, 2016

"Jung and his sideburns come upon Su and her stones, causing him to wonder if she’s praying for So to live a long life as king. She instead replies that she’s praying for Jung to be her friend again, but he throws back that she once said she wouldn’t take anyone’s side—and then she took So’s." [This made me lol so loud. Good god, his sideburns were really bad.  I guess him and WY shared the same stylist who came up with WY's simba loook]

This cliffhanger could’ve done more if events weren’t now tainted with the knowledge that Su is going to die—and though we can hope in vain that the doctor was just misinformed, sageuk doctors are never wrong in their diagnoses unless they’re being paid to lie. So sayeth the rules of Sageuk Dramaland.

"And that just really puts a huge damper on everything, not necessarily because Su’s a character who’s earned our emotional investment, but because if there was a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel, it’s effectively gone now. Which isn’t to say that a show can’t be good if it doesn’t end happily, since that would be disingenuous to the generally unhappy spirit of Moon Lovers."

Moon Lovers: Chae Yun and Won are a thing now.
Kdrama auditor: I need proof of that. Do you have any receipts of dates they went on, perhaps a Goryeo amusement park?
ML: no.
KA: Denied. Next.
ML: Su gets demoted then promoted then reassigned.
KA: Pay stubs? Annual employment reviews?
ML: no.
KA: Possible embezzlement of viewer emotions. Denied.
ML: Can’t you just loosen up a little? Come on, it’s called suspension of belief. You allowed a time-travel portal to a royal jimjilbang.
KA: You had receipts for that. Receipts, or it didn’t happen. You are up to 6 back episodes and 20 re-edits.

Thanks for the recap Heads!

This episode went by so fast I couldn’t really process everything (shout out to everyone in our chat room, because that was real chaos during our live stream lol). But what I can say is, wow Yo is an A class troll. I hadn’t expected him to be serious when he cornered Su and asked her to choose–but he did force her to make the decision in the end, and Su chose in a manner that has basically sealed her fate as the catalyst of the causal loop in the show. Having her play the active role as actual kingmaker was quite clever on the writer’s part, I have to give her that. Now no one can say Su didn’t cause her own terrible ending.

So Yo did pass on his throne to So, as history dictated it to be. I sort of like how the show managed to make it happen, by having Yo’s last act be to write his edict like some kind of fill-in-the-blank winning ticket. Because that’s so Yo, doing it as if it were some huge payback for Queen SMSS’ desire to make Jung king. He was also like a frightened young boy in the throes of death, but I don’t pity someone who’s unable to face the gravity of his actions. Yes, Queen SMSS sucked richard simmons as a mother, and yes, he may have just “wanted to survive”, but didn’t Mu and Eun as well? Yo’s inability to say that he’s wrong, even as he knew he was dying, just makes him a really pathetic figure. But it’s okay Yo, I know you’ll be somewhere in hell, and that makes me feel somewhat vindicated on Mu’s behalf. Mad props to Hong Jong-hyun, who killed his role (haha, pun). I’ll miss you on my screen.

Wook–wow this guy can catch zero breaks. He always has the worst timing ever, from unsuccessfully saving Su, to unsuccessfully usurping Mu’s throne, and unsuccessfully usurping Yo’s throne again. He literally had a headstart and wasn’t even squandering things this time when he ran to get military assistance from Wang Sik-ryeom, but he STILL failed. I don’t know if I should feel sorry for him or not. But we get a better look at how he and Yeon-hwa turned out this way, because damn, Queen Sinjeong was cold. She abandoned her son as quickly as she knew the downlow, and wow she’s a much better strategist than her daughter and son combined. Queen Sinjeong’s penchant for hiding her ambition has really carried over to Wook, and I swore so much when she gave him something new in his arsenal to cause grief for So. In a way she doesn’t really care for Yeon-hwa as well, because she full well knows how it’s like not to be loved by a king and is still bent on making her daughter queen anyway. Because that’s really going to be the best thing for her, huh.

So/Su: happy things never last for long. Sobs. So looks so much more attractive with his hair up, and I’m happy Su is wearing her beautiful hanboks again, buttttttttt why can’t they be happy for longer? I’ll take all the hand-holding and spooning I can get at this point, because next episode is going to be grueling for them…

Chae-ryung, that little wench. OMG I’ve never wanted to punch anything so hard in my life when she first asked Su to request for her to stay in the palace, and then immediately afterwards ran to Won and asked him to marry her. Girl, he has two wives he can’t even differentiate, and you’re some servant girl with no money–what makes you think he’ll want you? You killed Mu for non-existent love, and not because Won was holding your family captive and under torture? You richard simmons, give me sweet, loving Mu back! I do wish they’d set up her supposed undying love for Won a little better though, because now it just looks contrived.

I find this funny:

Dowager Empress wants Hae Soo to confirm the abdication. Jung told Hae Soo not to be afraid as they will protect her.

When Hae Soo “confirms” it, Dowager Empress tries to shake her into a different answer. Jung seem unable to restrain his mother.

Protect … really? And of all people to seek protection from — the Dowager? Not even Jung seems able to protect her, for crying out loud.

I’ll stick to King So, Mansei Mansei ManMansei !!!

Yo is finally dead, yet why am i not happy?
So is finally king, yet why am I not happy?
Soo and So finally sharing meals and bed together, yet why am i not happy?

It seems like we’ve arrived at the point where we all wanted the characters to be and yet it’s not hitting the spot

I’m going to quote @candiceraine on the second page here:

Wow, this show. I don’t know what type of voodoo magic you used, but with all the flaws and bad editing, i’m still freakin’ soooo invested on you. dang.

and I think that sums up why most of us are still here, criticisms and all. The experience of watching this drama is like a tv-viewer version of seeing a great painting buried under detritus that blocks anything more than a few glimpses of the original canvas from view, you know there is something good under all the rubbish but it’s hard not to be frustrated by the fact that it’s even there in the first place.

I still got my eyes on you Moon lovers...

Uh Oh. This is it. The moment I was waiting for ever since wang so took the throne. I can't believe he let a freakin' sly, conniving, weasel wang won running around freely in palace. Even if you chose to spare his life, at least exiled him to the deepest jungle or the war zone to get him killed naturally. Same things should also applies to the whole scheming hwangbo clan.

To gave us some clue..this is rough translation based on what I could follow from their conversation (to all korean friends in here please don't hesitate to correct me if i'm wrong ):

GJ: The one who responsible for the whole poisoning accident to the late king in damiwon, It's wook-ie right?

WWn: Ah..I don't know what you're talking about..

GJ: Chaeryung, before she came to wook's house, she originally belonged to your family. It's part of you and wook's plan to put her in damiwon, right? Not only you all responsible to big brother's death, the whole fabricated rebellion of wang gyu, it also came from wook's brain right? If it's not him, then I assumed it is you who should be held responsible.

WWn: No way. You know me very well that I am not that much capable to do this on my own.

JM: Stop denying. If you think you can get away with (xxx-- not sure what jimong means in here, i hear he mention market but i don't know how to put context to that fact, maybe he saw he bought poison?) You will get punish and end your life in boiling water (wth....it almost as scary as yutan punishment?)

WWn: I just followed the order. It's all wook and the late king that behind it all.

GJ ends up looking furious and scratching the tables...

GJ: Well then, I have one thing to ask of you..

YASS! I can't wait for GJ to make the whole bunch of evil pays for their crime! It's about the dam* time!

I haven't watch episode 17 just yet as I plan to watch it later concurrently with episode 18, but after swimming through the mood here in this thread after episode's airing ended... I started to feel uneasy. Will I ever ready for the incoming catastrophe of our OTP's precious relationship? Screw logic... I won't evacuate even when all sign heading to the doomed end.. I WILL DEFINITELY GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!

INTERNATIONAL VERSION

I just watched the international version with subs and I wasn't thinking it was bad until I saw that disaster of editing in the OTP cute moments. I have mixed feelings between feeling very mad and sad because that is the original version. The cast worked really hard only for their effort being wasted in the post production by a editing team that had no idea in what they were doing, no common sense. The drama is called Moon Lovers...yes LOVERS, but they sacrificed the OTP love in order to have time for: unnecesary scene of maids cleaning Hae Soo, Hae Soo talking something irrelevant with WoHee, Wang Wook having FLASHBACKS of WookSoo couple? YES! FLASHBACKS!  

I hope those amateurs will never work again as editors in a drama.  LJG said that KKT was working hard with the editing team in the second half of the drama (original/international version). Well, seems that KKT also has NO COMMON SENSE because he gave the OK to that editing.  

---------------------------

SBS VERSION

On a happier comment... I am glad that we were able to watch the extended cute moments.  The moment I loved the most was Hae Soo telling a story for Wang So to sleep. They were so adorable. 

About Wang So entering the dark side, I will reserve my comment for episode 18. Still, the story is interesting and I am waiting for episode 18...even knowing it will be a big hit for the OTP. 

----------------------------

Hong Jong Hyun shone the most in this episode. Big Claps! You did a good villian. I felt bad for Wang Yo at the end but for the bad things he did to EUN and SD...he deserved to die. Now who is going to replace our king of memes!!!?  

Yeap.... I got impressed by him Hong Jong Hyun as well. The greedy looks, crazy moment and evil heart, he manage to portray WY well...Give Big Thumb to him....

In fact, I quite pity on him, he was being used by his mother as an asset to reach her destiny. Queen Yoo never take cares of him...He is actually quite a lonely Prince.....
