[Drama 2016] Moon Lovers ❤ Scarlet Heart Ryeo, 달의 연인-보보경심 려 \^0^/ Soompi Kdrama 2016 Winner

[briseis 122,168]

They are walking TOGETHER! And when Wang So stops immediately when Hae Soo does (because of course he notices), looks back and flings his head to indicate she should keep following him, you know that he totally wants to walk with her and that he is happy that he isn’t walking alone.

It’s so adorable how in the end she goes ahead of him and it’s him who ends up following in her footsteps like a little puppy on a leash.

The reason why Hae Soo refrains from asking him to help her carry the basket is because she needs to save face since she already told WS that she stayed with him only because she needed to carry back the empty dishes and now it comes back to bite her. And Wang So is clearly aware of it (giving her that little smirk) and that’s why he decides to help her. Though, it feels like it’s almost instinctive on his part - the fact that he finds himself wanting to help her. And he is almost atypically timid in the way he tentatively reaches out his hand for the basket, but keeps hesitating because he doesn’t know how to go about it, until he finally gives up and embarrassedly pretends he is clearing his throat.

He catches himself literally grinning at her spunk and spirit, being both amused and amazed, and stops himself because he is completely baffled by his own reaction to her.

I'm a fan of the novel, which I loved to bits and pieces. 

Did anybody else feel that 13th and 14th's roles were switched in this version? Because in the novel, 13th and Ruoxi were soulmates while 14th and Ruoxi basically bickered their way through. Here, it feels like Hae Soo has a sort of instant camaraderie with 14th, but doesn't see eye to eye with 13th? Also, 14th feels more free spirited here too. And also:

  Reveal hidden contents

In the novel, Ruoxi died in 14th's arms, and in the trailer, there was a picture with Soo and 13th sitting together, both dressed in white, in a similar pose as the C-drama. 

 

Also, is anybody else disappointed by the fact that Hae Soo doesn't remember her Korean history? I thought one of the main charms of Ruoxi (in both novel and drama) was that she remembered history and tried her best to make it work to her advantage, but in the end it was her knowledge of history that propelled the fallout between the princes.

  Reveal hidden contents

In the novel, 8th told Ruoxi that he wouldn't have even thought of fighting with 4th until Ruoxi told him when they "broke up" and ultimately, it was her knowledge of the future that caused tragedy to happen, even though she was using her knowledge to try and protect 8th. The irony.

 

 

About the second point, I understand they are using the chinese version as a guide for the storyline. And since I am still a little confuse, Jun ki's character does become the king (historical sense) is that correct?

 

So there is some history behind how he becomes king? very much like the c-drama?

it is just that in the c drama there was no hint of princes trying to kill other prince right? like how HJH's character and his mother are trying to kill the crown prince?

okay, I type these really fast, so first I'd like to aologize if there must be many wrong spellings and grammatical errors here... lol

so, I've finished episode 5 last night. and yaaa... I love this this moon lovers more and more and wanting for mon-tue to come faster....

one question

* the princes and princess Yeon Hwa are the children of the same father right? the king. But why does it seem like YH likes her brother, which is the 4th prince. And it clearly showed that she wants him to be her mate candidate. When the 2nd prince said that she'd have a hard time forever to look the uglly face of him and she better choose someone like him who can make her to be the queen. My point is, in that period, goeryo time, marry your siblings is okay? is that so? or did I interpret it wrongly???

Well, after 4th prince wife death, the preview showed that HS will marry, it looks like she'll run away with 4th rince... hmmm.... can't waittt...

yaaa... I love the cinematography of this drama.... and the ost as well... great.... hope the story is getting better... just want to sshare, I originally updated myself about this drama from drama recap sites, some of the earlier comments are negatie, but the more they give negative things it always makes me so curious to prove it right or wrong based on my judgment... and they proved wrong, this drama is great, the casts did their acting great. I hope it keeps being this good till it ends... well despite of the original that might be already predictable that many are already knew... I hope this remake can do much more better and well, lets say they can change or improvise a bit as long as it good, I dn't mind...

okay enough comment, will save it for later....

almost forgot... I love every scene that include HS with the princess... anyway so far... from ep 1 - 5 I havent hit any ffd button to skip scenes like I did with other dramas... lol

 

@stargazer187 First, WELCOME!!! We're so glad you've decided to join us, and so happy that you love the drama A LOT. Many of us feel the same way.

So to answer your question, YES, it was acceptable practice at this time for family to intermarry in order to retain political power.

Also...just in case...want to clarify that it was 3rd Prince who insulted 4th prince Wangso saying he was ugly, and said that he would be the better candidate for marriage.

Finally, it was actually 8th prince's wife who passed away at the end of the 5th episode.

Have a feeling those were just typed wrong in your rush to post. We look forward to your insights and expressing yourself often!!

YH is half sister of WS (different mother, same father)

in that period (Goeryo), they can marry your siblings 

WS also marrried his niece (2nd of King Goeryo) because the princess maybe the one of to lift the curse & the king need transform his life.

@kaoriharang Yes, Wangso, aka  Gwangjong, was indeed the fourth king of Goryeo. One of our chingu on the thread may correct me, but there doesn't seem to be documentation that supports any manipulation by him to secure the throne. Like 4th in the c-version, however, he was known for squashing his political rivals and creating an atmosphere of fear.

It's my recollection in the C-version, that none of the princes actively sought to harm each other.

Hello!  I think in the C-version, the princes mostly tried to outsmart each other - every move they made was calculated to bring them maximum advantage  - more of a war of the brains than anything, I'd say... Here it's more physical and consequences are more than house arrest - it's bloody and life or death...

[elviraxxx 1,180]

@hiluna Good one! That scene is really heartbreaking; he tries to be a good son to his mother, but his mom just ignored him. And also when his mom pushed him away to tend 14th, while he's the one who save him. Also previously when King was worried about Crown Prince [during the ritual] when So is the one that got hurt. Referring to the long trailer, there will be more heartbreaks coming  Happy ending for So, please, DramaGods

At this rate, the notion 'I hate Monday' is no longer applicable. Monday and Tuesday are most awaited days in a week  

It's only been a day (or so), I need episode 6 now, my goodness...

Should I find an eclipse somewhere, drunk ajusshi rambling nonsense and a pond where I can jump, so that suddenly it's Monday again?

Forgot to mention that I like the fact that Wang So is drawn to and is friendly with both the 21st century ppl, ie HS and the astronomer. I like the friendship between astronomer and Wang So. But it might also be that the astronomer who knows WS will be the king and siding with him.

Sorry for cutting your post.

I kinda believe that YH likes So. She and So have the same father, but different moms... and So was adopted/exiled with the Kangs family. So yeah, they are basically siblings. 

Gee, bet it is so complicated to live in those times, because siblings and cousins marry each other. Not only in Goryeo, I think. Some European monarch did the same thing in the past in order to protect the throne from outsiders. 

 

[valentvcd 6,068]

I am watching some episodes the C-version ramdomly  and I can say that it looks like the same but with different feeling. In C-ver all the actors look mature,calm and serious but K-ver all the actors not so childish but not so mature also...and looks more fun.

Their hair style really distract me... I don't know if I can keep watching it

thanks for helping me along. So if lets say in the case of moon lovers, maybe the whole knowledge of knowing the history may not count so much compared to ruo xi in the c-version.

and as for the internal fighting and stuff, since it differs from the c-version. i think we can expect a complete different outline more or less? Am i right to say this? And just for clarify the role of that princess YH isit? the sister of the 8th prince, there was never such a character in the c version am i right?

To be honest, if this drama had followed really exactly like the c-version i would have been disappointed myself. I get the idea of using the novel/c-version as a template, but ultimately it has to be uniquely korean.

Yeah, it was okay during Goryeo times. Aside of being an adaptation of the chinesse novel, this drama is also based on the Wang Royal Family who where korean historical figures. We searched about the historical figures and that's why we know the different princes had royal intermarriages with her sisters, nieces, etc. Not only one…many. But that's history, and the drama is different. History is already altered to present a love story. 

Welcome to the thread.

Please pray that such a report never happens, the poor girl gets enough hate already for absolutely trivial reasons, imagine how much she'll get if netizens think she broke up with her boyfriend of almost 3 years for him..... I don't want her to get any more hate. If they date, let it be only if she breaks up with her bf (I don't wish for such a thing, her happiness comes first) and only a long time after that. And preferably with privacy so that they can date in peace and not get all kinds of comments.

 

but really, Kang Ha Neul's gaze when he looks at IU or poses with her is really just amazing. I saw his past dramas and he gives those melting looks to all his female costars in the dramas (Ha Yeon Soo in Monstar, Im Joo Eun and Kim Ji Won in Heirs, Nam Ji Hyun in Angel Eyes), but this time it really feels like he himself fell for IU a little bit and used that feeling to add to his performance as Wook.

 

Woaa chilled out. How is my comment get entangled with IU getting hate comment because her involvement with KHN? Am I a SK reporter? Do my comment will reach out to SK and those knetz will based upon it to hating on IU?

Like I've stated before, I don't think that feeling is mutual. What probably KHN feeling might not be the same with what IU's feeling if judging the way they look at each other. It's just my private hope. I don't think it would bring any harm to IU. I too wish her only happiness.

I apologized for IU's fans who feel offended but sometimes I want to dream a delusional one. Is it not allowed anymore? Geez...

[valentvcd 6,068]

let's just talking about the drama and not the actors/actress's personal matter here.... Let's make this threat fun... 

[superxbunny99 158]

I'm not sure if anyone wrote about this yet, but I'm very very curious as to what will happen between Wang Wook and Hae Soo. I get that they both locked up their feelings (seen through the soap and the poem), but I wonder if WW's mom (the other empress, don't really recall her last name) will follow through with HS's cousin's request (accepting HS as WW's wife). I wonder if WW and HS will actually end up getting married but I doubt it, but I'm still curious as to what will happen between the two. I guess this makes time and room for WS to shine! (I need some more moments with WW and HS though...) Also I was dying when they were trying to decipher that emoji HS drew. It was a great scene omf. Looking forward to next week though! (Why is HS wearing all the fancy head gear that only the empresses/royal family seem to wear?)
