I mean, Soo never said not to tell So, did she? Would there have been a way for So to know of his daughter and not bring her into the palace per Soo's last wishes? I think part of Jung's reasons for not telling So was selfishness. As in, So got Soo's everything: Soo loved So, Soo gave birth to Soo's child. Jung got nothing of Soo but this child that was the last piece of her. I figure he wanted to keep the child to himself as her mother never was his. I would think the other part would be because he believed, without a doubt, that So would never let Soo's child get away from him and would probably bring her into the palace anyway. But then, in this episode, So appears to abide by Soo's wishes about the palace so this reasoning falls flat for me. Of course, how would Jung even begin to know how So feels about Soo's wishes? I'm just confused about why So was never told about the child when we can see that Soo's wishes would likely have been carried out anyway. maybe because Jung feared that even with Soo's wish, WS might take the daughter he most cherished now.. they were not in good terms right? like you said its only the memory Su left, when everything was given (i suppose) to WS.. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Jung and So will become closer brothers and he can see his daughter grow up without endangering her. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if So got to know that he and Hs had a daughter right then, when he learnt that Hs died, he would have taken the child to the palace, and Hs didn't want her child to belong to the palace, that is why she left in the first place! Ws had a few years to calm down, and make rational decisions, so when he realised he and Hs had a child, he was able to put the child's need, safety and freedom first! Jung kept his promise to Hs, and he was ready to put his life on the line for it! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Well, what do you think happened to Gwangjong?" Fans: He met her! "Did he go to Soo?" Fans: He did! "Well, there's something you haven't seen..." Fans: (in a frenzy) "An extra scene..." Fans: (chaos) "But I don't know when it will be released." Fans: Awwwwwww "At any rate, I won't spoil you. I do believe that Gwangjong's true feelings for Soo were delivered to her. I guess this is what you call an open ending? Anyway, thanks for watching MLSHR these two months, and I hope to see you again!" Here's the video that includes the excerpt above. Apparently the fans didn't realize that he was watching from the 2nd floor and felt embarrassed about their raw reactions to the finale. He was teasing that he'd tell the rest of the cast about that. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Zera post on her IG smth about happy and Kang Ha Na post a pictures of her character (Yeon Hwa) were she seem to be very happy. Could it be that we no longer understand the meaning of the word happiness? You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means. <-- No really, I'm happy, I swear 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tinniet Posted November 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2016 Just watched the drama RAW w/o subs, and woah...the feeling surely hit harder than just reading the recap. I cried when Soo died, cried harder from the moment So found out about the letter till he took her ash away. What can I say about LJG? Hmm I can only say that I'm very grateful to have a chance to witness such high level of acting. Such a nostalgia to remember that he was the only reason I let myself fell for this drama. I have refrained from watching K drama because I knew I would be in the state I'm in now. But LJG is totally different than other K-actors, his charm drew me in from the moment I saw the still pictures of earlier episodes. What really hooked me, funnily, wasn't his look since half of his face was covered with mask, but it was his voice speaking that very first sentence of his character "An adopted member?" On that point I spontaneously fell in love with WS (and LJG) and I couldn't escape anymore; I just fell deeper and deeper. The ending does feel hanging, but which part of MLSHR that doesn't need audience to analyze? LOL I don't know who to blame, but watching MLSHR always feels like they don't give us enough information, and we have to analyze and conclude ourselves. Same here, we only have JM awakening Soo but no modern So. People said JM is cruel for reminding her to her past, but I think JM did that because Soo NEED to know; she has the right to remember. Also I believe JM wanted Soo to find the modern So (I believe he exists in modern world), that's why Soo needs to be reminded. Thank you for the amazing ride in this forum, lets keep it alive for the rest of this week!! 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sosooyah19 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 i think this is the only ep that even if it doesnt have a sub, i almost understand what's happening.. i do not have any motivation to watch the sub version (actually im fearing i might cry truckloads again..) i feel like i need to refrain from watching sageuks as of now... because i might compare it to MLSHR... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IAmSoulReader Posted November 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2016 The straight out insane roller-coaster ride of the past few weeks eventually came to an end and my emotions are still somewhere up in the sky. I know many here are very upset with the ending and I do see where they are coming from. However, having watched the episode with subs now I am not as disappointed anymore. Would I have hoped for a tighter script and better editing of the drama? YES. Would I have hoped for a less confusing collection of episode versions? YES. Would I have hoped for a steadier schedule without baseball games right when the drama actually took off? Yes. There where scenes, bits and pieces I definitely wished to have been done differently. However, over all this drama managed to get me hooked and to toy with my emotions and not a lot of dramas manage to do that. I loved how the characters weren't just plainly white or black but grey. I liked how it wasn't just rainbows and butterflies along the way but a realistic portrait of how cruel and lonely palace life could be even for a noble. I enjoyed that there were so many entangled stories that I barely had time to rest or get bored. The scenes of Wang So and Hae Soo were simply too beautiful in every way. This couple is so powerful yet vulnerable that I just couldn't turn away from them - whatever happened. Their chemistry was amazing. The ending was like the whole drama a constant up and down so I didn't expect the classic happily ever after. The writers couldn't change the fact that Hae Soo died before Wang So managed to get to her. Instead they gave their love something even more meaningful in return - a legacy. I actually liked this more than the C-Version. Their love was crowned by a little baby girl and as devastated as Wang So was at first, it must have brought some sort of comfort to him when he realized that the spirit of his beloved Hae Soo lived on in their child. Although his lover had left his world, a part of her remained. When Wang So gave up the right to be the girl's father it showed that he finally understood what led to Hae Soo's decision to leave the palace and knowing her tragic life better than anyone I'm sure from then on he didn't blame her for it. As parents they both wanted the same - for the child to be healthy and free just like they initially wanted to be themselves. They didn't want history to repeat itself. They already witnessed the family war for the throne more than once and wanted to spare their child from the tragedy. Instead Wang So and Jung reconciled and it sounded like in return Wang So was able to watch his daughter grow up safely from afar, having the chance to meet her every now and then. It sort of also would have been what Hae Soo wished for - she wanted the brothers to treat each other well. I did like that history changed and Wang So was remembered differently. It showed that Hae Soo did not go through all the hardships for nothing. Despite all that happened she at least managed to achieve something. Her impact on Wang So turned him into a strong and wise king and this ultimately led to a better Goryeo/Korea. I have to admit I would have loved to see future Wang So meet present day Hae Soo. But as much as I would have loved to watch this scene I also feel that the last close up of him was enough for me. He did understand that Hae Soo would always be his destiny and that she was out there somewhere. He convinced me that he would find her eventually, because he is Wang So after all. If he cannot do it, who can? That said I would love to see a second season deep down in my heart. It's because I cannot get enough of this couple. But good second seasons are hard to come by so... I guess I have to say farewell to them eventually. Thank you to all the Moon Lovers here! It's been great to read all of your posts and analysis. This thread is legendary. I hope we'll meet again soon. 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuhotarubi Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Although I said that I liked the ending, I'm still bummed So-Soo didn't meet at the end, yes the ending is hinting at them meeting again, especially knowing WS's determination is not something to be taken for granted, but I still wished we would at least have a scene of him in the futur, how come Ji-Mong is the only one who knows everything and gets to travel between the two periods ? That's what I would like to know. A season 2 is far and highly unlikely to happen, if however it does happen, I hope they change both the writer and the director, they've done enough already. For now, I'll be waiting for that unreleased scene LGK was talking about, since he mentioned more things happening, it's bound to be released, right ? Or else SBS will be facing some serious backlash. Give us the scenes SBS, it's the least you can do after taking away the chance for more episodes. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiluna Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 1 hour ago, Evangeline Yang said: The director once said this will be LJG must work ever. Indeed I want to believe it becahss LJG nailed it by being Wang So but like some said.. the director seem to dislike him. I now start to wonder, did the director made use of LJG to lure innocents people like us to watch this drama because sbs wanna promote products and new actors and actresses. no doubts the acting are good but this really feel like a summaries of a book or a drama rather than the whole actual drama. Adding this to another pc of my ranting. Back to JoonU shipping! I don't think the director disliked LJG but he liked KHN better and wanted to promote him and the other actors to Hallyu status. LJG is already a Hallyu star so he was the draw for the drama. Unfortunately he underestimated LJG's popularity hence the re-edited SBS version with more LJG scenes. If it weren't for all those hidden agendas at the top, MLSHR could have been even better with less flaws and more episodes. I need a second season in modern times for a happier closure. I feel that the ending is set up for a continuation. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest maniac-moon Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 LJG said on his mini FM that the last scene is actually longer and there's something more after that. SBS cut that scene .... Then where it is? Why sbs cut that? Maybe our OTP saw each other in museum? God,it so painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdramawriter Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Dramafever has uploaded already so I'm watching during lunch. this is a minor point, but that face when WS makes when he thinks Jung and HS are having sex is pretty terrible. You do know that you've already been married right? I liked it: how complex his feelings were about her sleeping with his younger brother, but also that he had no leg to stand on because he already married and presumably having sex with Yeon Hwa. I do think WS regards sexuality as different than Hae Su. Because he grew up in a polygamous house, he believes that he can have sex with someone in a "functional" way instead of a "romantic" way. And Yeon Hwa would definitely be in the functional camp. I mean, there's probably going to be other women too--but they will not be Hae Su, who is the only person he's reserved his heart for. Whereas Hae Su has never slept with another man and never will (coz she dead). 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a sad and bittersweet ending I liked it, much better than the C-version. The acting was top notch and this is one time I liked the flash backs to happier times. I am also glad that she remembered and was sorry for leaving him alone. HOWEVER, NOW I WANT THE SPECIAL EPISODE OR A SECOND SEASON !!!! PLEASE SBS and PDnim !!! PLEASE just 5 more minutes ;o; PDnim they can look at each other, hug or kiss... anything, but i want them to be happy knowing they are free to love and be together I saw the raw so I don't know but was revelated the name of their baby? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
