Yeah , how is it so, since its produced by YG? Why didn't YG push for his actors/idols instead? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana Blanche Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 20 minutes ago, Table122000 said: To answer your question, yes, in Goreyo times, it was acceptable for the royal Family to marry your siblings. To them, the incest helped to keep the bloodline pure. Historically, Wang So did marry his half sister, Yeon Wha, and they had 5 children together. He also married his niece, the daughter of Crown Prince Mu. Apparently, the real Wang Wook also married one of the princesses (also a half sister). In the drama though he has married Lady Hae, so they are not following real life there. Definitely they were kin to the Targaryens 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bebebisous33 Posted September 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2016 Actually, the walk in the snow (HS and WW) and the walk from the hill (HS and WS) gives us a real clue about the dynamic in the relationship between our two couples. Interesting to see is that HS is following WW the entire time Spoiler and she goes to the extent to use his footprints to walk in the snow. But even before, we observe that WW is the one who decides about the tempo and the foot print Spoiler As conclusion, WW acts as the leader and guide and she is just following him. Striking is that WW would like her to come closer to him therefore he turns around and looks at her. But he doesn't ask her to come closer to him, he just remains passive by looking at her. Spoiler HS notices that he has stopped and freezes. She looks at him like paralysed and stops walking. He realises that she is not coming closer to him that's why he starts walking again but notices how she walks in the snow. From that moment, he decides to make bigger steps, well aware that she will fall so that she will need him. He really wants her to come closer, but the most important thing is that he would like her to become dependent of him, since she is the only one who doesn't want to rely on him at all. So I come to the conclusion that HS is actually trying very hard to fit in, to succeed to WW's expectations. Since WW is walking in front of her, she is acting like a passive follower and WW seems to be her guide. She doesn't think on her own. Her attempted assimilation fails because she doesn't even realise that WW is amusing himself by misguiding her since she is so focused to adapt herself to fit in and be an obedient person. This scene shows us that HS is not really herself. She views WW as her guide and leader, she is very distant from him and she would like to be just like she thinks, he wants her to be. So she gives up on herself so that she becomes weak. She doesn't want to rely on him, that's why she keeps her distance, while WW wants the opposite. He wants her to rely on him, to come closer to him so that he creates the situation. The walk with WS and HS looks similar. WS is leading the way, while HS is walking behind. However, she is the one who regulates the tempo as she is wearing the heavy basket. Somehow, WS notices it that's why he looks at her. So he decides to change the position and invites her to walk past him. Spoiler Since she is the one who is fixating the tempo, she should walk ahead that's how he thinks. After that, WS gets even more aware of her difficult tast (carrying the heavy basket) so that he would like to help her. Spoiler So he follows her and even tries to take it from her, but doesn't dare as she is not asking him for his help. In the end, he gives up. Spoiler He seems to admire her and he is amused because she is so independent and seems so strong. He has noticed that she doesn't want to rely on him. In the end, Wang So is doing the opposite of Wang Wook. He lets her to be herself, he allows her to do what she wants and not the other way around. Therefore Wang So will be the one who follows Hae Soo's lead first and not the other way around. I believe, that way he can get closer to her. We could observe it in that scene: he invites her with his head to come past him that's why she gets closer to him. Even later, when he tries to carry the basket, he is only one step behind her yet HS doesn't get aware of it. Here again, we see Wang Wook more passive in their relationship, only in the end he tricks her so that she will need his help, while Wang So is more active, but he doesn't manipulate Hae Soo at all. He could have taken away the basket, yet he doesn't dare. We notice the difference in Wang So's behaviour and Wang Wook's attitude. Wang Wook is definitely more manipulative (even if it was funny). Wang So wants to respect Hae Soo. Okay, this was a long comment... 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nam Joo Hyuk is from YG apparently and maybe it's part of the big deal as we actually get YG involved in the music production for this drama given that some of their artists will participate in the OST (next in the line ups should be Epik High and Akdong Musician) while SM's got to participate with some OSTs and two of their idols joined the drama. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise how good he is at acting but then again I didn't follow his works back then. You should watch Angel eyes,if you haven't watched it. He played the teen version of lead and was fabulous. Both the teen leads were so good that the main leads paled in front of them. I am glad Nam Ji Hyun who played the teen lead has landed her first main lead part against Seo In Guk in Shopping King Louie. Sorry for going off topic. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to cut your post short but this sentence describes exactly what I was thinking! I totally agree with everything you said, the two scenes very reflective of the relationships they share. HS and WW's relationship is that she looks up to him so much so that she is the follower. She doesn't want to disappoint him in any way and admires him for his talents. I feel like she's also less like herself when she's around him as she feels she needs to act a certain way. HS and WS's relationship on the other hand is all about HS showing WS what life is about. She is herself around him and shares with him her thought process and gives him advice. She is his guide and a force that essentially drives him forward. I'm so glad you picked this up and the post you made was just amazing! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a while to post it!! This also explains why Wang So will be possessive later because she is the one who leads him and he might feel lost without her. Hae Soo makes him happy. He only started smiling after meeting her. Moreover, Wang So was so longing for being loved, he had been actually starving for a long time in which he never gave up to be loved finally. I can understand why he won't let her go because he is so emotional and as soon as he starts loving Hae Soo, his love will be so strong that he will never allow to get separated from her. All the love he was missing, he felt it from her since he is capable of such strong feelings.... 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobsmack Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Lee Joon Gi's eyes are so mesmerizing. The shape, the monolids. \^0^/ He looks the best in historical dramas. Started watching Iljimae this week, he is great but the lead actress(also in W) is annoying holier than thou and has irritating way of speaking. I don't see any chemistry between the two. Was she praised for her acting when the drama was aired. I know now Koreans dislike her bcos of the scandal. In Scholar who walked the night too, Yoo Bi didn't really match him. Jang hee jin looked better with him. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadraRua Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Have we seen this character description before? I hope not, I don't recall the general being mentioned as a friend of Wang So. Maybe the daughter has designs on him too like Yeon Hwa but hopefully she's not as vicious. It also shows Chae Ryongs interest in 9th Prince. Came across it looking for character information on Lady Hae - in order to find the story behind Hae Soo's family. No joy yet. Great post @bebebisous33 Spoiler Found this gorgeous pic of Hae Soo too. Spoiler Scratch that. The generals daughter has no interest in Wang So, at least not romantically. Seems like she's enamored with 10th Prince. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I feel like once he falls in love with her there's no turning back because if he gets separated from her it'll be like losing that feeling of being loved. Essentially it'll be like he's lost everything. She's the only one that understood him from the beginning and was willing to understand him. When he said he killed people she didn't jump to conclusions but asked "Why did you kill them?" That line still resonates in my head because it's so powerful in the sense that she was not quick to judge him because she didn't know the whole story. It juxtaposes her to the rest of society who judge and fear him from hearing stories and rumours. Like I've said before she is his anchor and without her he will fall apart. She is his happiness and what drives him to move forward (just like him following her). She just makes him the person he wants to be. I'm just really scared that they will get separated. I don't wanna see So fall apart again. He's been through enough already. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshinefate Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hello, I'm a rookie in this thread. I watched the C-version 2 years ago but did not get to finish it because I was quite annoyed by the dubbed voices though the drama was really good. So, when I heard the news about BBJX would be remade into a K-drama, I was overjoyed and always waited for new stills, teasers, trailers, and interviews related to MLSHR. I already watched the first 5 episodes and I love it very much. I adore and love Wang So's character to pieces. Not only because I can fully relaate to his character, but LJK portrays the character so well that makes me adore the character more. His eyes tell more than words. His acting is seriously beyond amazing. This drama lures me back to Soompi after a longgg time not posting anything here nor being interested in any other dramas. This tells how good this drama is. About the ratings... I will not say that I don't care about it because I know the actors and crews will be affected by it. But it's too early to judge about the ratings. I hope it will go higher and higher as the story progresses and the romance between WS and HS unfolded. I can really relate to why HS later will fall in love with WS. Because WS gives all his hardships and scars to be shared with her. Which girl will not be happy if the man she loves can give his all to her? I had an experience like that so I can relate to this story really well. Love this drama so much. The cinematography is also beautiful although sometimes I'm quite annoyed by the zoom-ins. But they are still bearable to watch. About IU's acting. I will not comment about it because I still like her though and have not found anything annoying about it. She cries well, she also delivers chemistry with her costars well, especially with LJK. LJK's eyes, OMG, the way he stares at her. I don't know why the netizens are so sensitive about IU's acting. Maybe because her Idol-turned-actress status. By the way, is there anyone here who have the opening credits video of this drama? I want to see it so bad. I've always liked the opening videos of dramas. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which they are drinking buddies and she taught him the okay sign. I'm looking forward to this friendship coming up and I'm thinking Seohyun character has interest in the 13th prince? 20 hours ago, uuugogirl said: I noticed this scene in the trailer and 4th outfit looks different than most is this after he became king?

ruizaio Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Regarding the marriage between the princess of Queen 4 (YH in our drama) and Prince 4 (So), while most consider the royal intermarrying a policy Wang Geon proactively adopted in order to keep the power within the royal family, there is also an unofficial account that it was the princess' own idea. Spoiler She had a crush on her half-brother, so she lured him to her bedroom, got him drunk, spent the night together, and eventually persuaded her parents to let them be married. I personally don't think this is likely, seeing that other princes also intermarried with their half-sisters or nieces. In fact, Gwangjong's second wife is his niece (daughter of Moo, Hyejong). Basically, even after the current crown prince becomes king, he still feels insecure about his throne, and when people accuse Yo and So of plotting treason, he can't dare punish them, and instead gives one of his daughters to So as wife to appease him. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
