Goodnoon Eclipses!

For the YoHwa shippers.

Wait WHAT? Why didn't we see that in the episode??? I would've love to see him getting rejected =P muahaha I guess it was cut out?

You know what, if Hae Soo was not there I would ship the princess with So! (waiting for death threats now lol)
Yes, she wants the throne. The best way of reaching that goal is to marry the crown prince or Yo but she has no interest of doing that. She loves So for what he is and that has nothing to do with power.  
Yes I know she is and probably will become even more snooty and mean (more like the devil) in the course of the drama but that doesn't mean her love for So is not genuine (but that doesn't justify her shitty behavior of course).

I just hope that the writers won't make her the clichée jealous and mean girl that disses the main girl to keep her away from the main guy. I hope she will become like Lady Hae that puts the happiness of her love before hers... but the chance of that is close to zero I know that

“I'm not destroying it. I'm building it.”

Wang So re-building the stone piles each evening is such a deeply poignant and symbolic gesture, because he is fixing with his own hands what he himself broke and destroyed. That despite his immense pain he still has the capacity to feel guilty and care enough to make amends, because while his own mother might not love him there are other mothers who pray for their children and their deserve respect and reverence.

The sight of him carefully replacing each stone is so heartbreaking because it’s his way of showing admiting defeat and showing his resignation, but also a way of him finally accepting that his mother will never love him. Yet, he is still so giddy and excited to finally return home, a home he was banished from, because he is hoping he will finally feel a sense of belonging. To use the wolf symbolism again - he is the lonely wolf desperately trying to be a part of his pack again.

“I just remembered you said you weren't scared of me. How can you not be scared of me?”

There is this unrelenting sense of wonder in So’s voice and he doesn’t really expect an answer from Hae Soo because it’s something he’s been asking himself ever since she told him and now he’s barely voicing it out loud. His sense of bewilderment is even intensified by her words of goodbye - it’s something a loving family member would say - full of care, concern, worry and tenderness and he is completely awed and flustered by them.

Their goodbye amid the shining stars and falling snow is really beautiful - he barely sees the beauty around him because he has eyes only for her, because in that moment she seems much more beautiful and miraculous to him than all the snowflakes and the stars in the sky.

What sets Hae Soo’s relationship with So apart from the one she has with Wook, is the fact that with the 8th Prince she basically woke up one day as a defacto member of his family and their relationship developed on that close proximity. But, with So they have found their way to each other on their own. They are becoming true friends and allies as he begins to unburden his soul in front of her and confide in her not only with things he never told to anyone, but also with the trivial and mundane. And what defines each of their interaction is the brutal frankness and honesty, no need for pretense or false politeness. For So, it’s such a safe relationship because he isn’t eager to please her like his parents nor does he feel the need to earn her acceptance. He is letting her see under his mask because she didn’t judge him in this very place just nights ago when he was at his weakest; and I find it to be fitting that most of his literal masks are actually metal-plated like some protective armour, as if he was hoping they would make him impervious to hurtful words and vicious comments.

I actually don't care of the princes' age in this drama. They could say Wang So is four and I still find them good with each other. 

Same goes for the seasons. 

Hahahaha..but at four I don't think I can don't care..let's say 18..Lolx! Love what you said!

[luci13]

Apologize if my previous post about those disparities in certain scenes had ruined the  here. Glad that viewers here didnt really get distracted by those little details as we might be seeing all those in bigger picture that served well for the sake of the storyline  

Anyway, I've been wondering if this certain picture is actually another hint onto what happens next in any timeline since I love this picture alot 

[MadraRua]

I've just been thinking  Brace yourselves... 

But what if [and this is a big what if] Wang So, 4th Prince, doesn't actually ascend to the throne? We're all convinced he will based on the novel and Bu Bu Jing Xin but this show from the start has seemed so very loosely based on both. Maybe in the struggle for the throne he accedes to 8th Prince? On the condition that he and Hae Soo will be safe of course. 

We already know that Wang Yo will succeed after the Crown Prince has died. From that picture of Yeon Hwa and Wang Yo [**shudders** there's an unholy alliance] maybe they marry instead of her marrying Wang So? They're a match made in hell, both ambitious and ruthless, uncaring of others feelings. Yes in history Wang So and Yeon Hwa married, but as this drama is often times reminding us ''they've taken a creative licence with history''. This way, Hae Soo and Wang So get the happily ever after they deserve plus I REALLY don't want him marrying Yeon Hwa.  Please let it be so writer-nim

I'm spending my weekend rewatchins ML. 

In ep2

I still laugh when he unceremoniously tossed her off his horse. 

Love all the stares and wrist grab too

The only good bits of ML production teams weird overuse of closeups- seeing LJG's microexpression. It happen so fast I couldn't screenshot his 2seconds look of shock when HS touched n stop his horse.

inspired by this post by @naeungorl 

The foundations of Wang So’s characters are based around the fact that he isn’t treated in the same manner as those around him. His mother wants nothing to do with him, he’s isolated from his brothers, he has to hide half his face because that’s the only way he’d even be allowed in the palace with his scar, he could quite literally put his life on the line to protect others without receiving so much as a glance in his direction, he’s been painted as a villain who slaughtered entire clans and the only time anyone has to come to him was to use him as a cover. 

And so he turns his isolation into his strength. He continues to visit his mother pretending to be unphased by her disregard. He makes it that he is separating himself from his brothers as  opposed to them being the ones isolating him. He attacks those who see his scar, owning it as something no one is worthy of seeing and not something he is forced to hide. And above all, if they call him a villain, he takes on the name, allows them to fear him. Because at least then, he can exist.

So here is the problem with bad internet connection..but I really want to say this..maybe someone already mentioned,but I really can't keep up with you chingudeul..so..I'm gonna backread when I got more times..hehe.

I watched the 6min preview again..and I think I saw the dancing scene..(in Cver,when 4th imagine that Minmin is Ruoxi who dances for him)..but I couldn't see if HS there dancing. Another part is when WS said I'm going to claim my seat..he stil wear mask..so maybe it happened after CPs death?maybe CP appointed him to be the next king..but his bros are all against him..so 1 of the prince slap him (is it Wook or Yo?)..and maybe then WY took the throne,become king and casted WS away from the palace,isolated WS with HS followed him (could be an order or she volunteered herself). There..their love start to bloom. HS then put off WSs mask,and thus the beginning of the fight to the throne. And so on..sorry I couldn't seem to explain this with beautiful words lol :). And I also want to have the dvd with DC inside+deleted scenes..can't have enough of this drama..still don't understand why most of Koreans like to be the evil mom. Oh..and I tried to watch another show to kill my time..but failed..it seems I already hooked..lol. Still supporting and sending my love to MLSHR and all of the crews. They've been really work hard. Fighting and be strong! (Hope they read our thread..there are a lot of love here to lift their spirits)

Hi chingudeul. I'm a newbie and a silent reader in this forum.

Let me share my two cents about the deleted scenes. Did you all knew about the deleted scene? From 4th episode, where Hae Soo and Wang So sat at the top of the rock mountain.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BKH3Xb6hF0D/

Too bad the director cut that scene. Because i think those scenes are such an adorable (Lee Jun Ki with those fine jaw eating chicken drum!!).

If the director didn't cut it, we can see those two become friends, and i sense Wang So's feeling grow towards Hae Soo.

Honestly, i want Wang So and Hae Soo's scenes a lot more. Don't get me wrong, i love Kang Ha Neul and his baby baby baby boy smexy kinda thing. But, uri OTP has to grow feelings. So, i'm looking forward to Wang So dan Hae Soo's scenes. Lets hope our PDnim, read my mind. \^o^/

Ps: i don't know how to insert Instagram post, can anyone help?

Why cut the scene of two of them sharing the meal, it had a certain ease and warmth about it. I know they have to fit a lot on each episode but Wang So- Hae Soo should at least be the priority.I am not saying air it all but a minute more of it wouldn't hurt.

[luci13]

WOW! How I wished the opening credit title was this awesome!

[sharreb]

In ep3

 When WS said this:  Don't show up in front of me

I couldn't help but wonder if this would come back and haunt him later

Imagine if she return to modern Korea and they are divided in space and time

This song by SG wannabe, one of my all time favs keeps reminding me of their story

 

English translation in the video

 

The lyrics that resonated

Don’t forget me
How can you leave me behind?
You’re the most precious person to me

It’s you
The one who’s made my heart tremble for the first time in my life
The one and only person for me
Even after looking thousands of times

Not being able to see you
Is scarier than death to me
Stay by my side
Don’t leave me

You are my love
Someone who’s worth my entire life
It’s you

[ruizaio]

@luci13

next Wednesday, the SHR DC community will discuss organizing an effort to request a director's cut dvd/bd set and hopefully things will work out and all the edited scenes will see the light of day.

@sharreb that song lyrics is too good and emotional. thanks for sharing.

I can relate to your difficult in capturing LJKs microexpression, he is so fast there that you can miss just in blink of an eye... and while creating gifs i had the toughest time in capturing his expressions...lol

He is just too good with his acting.

I am willing to overlook problems with editing and whatnot as long as I can follow the drama without getting too confused.

Actually, I am so immersed in the drama that I seldom notice such trivial things.

I just want to enjoy this drama....that's what dramas are here for...our enjoyment.

Please don't take that away from me by nitpicking about every little thing....my advice to those who see mistakes and is very critical of this

show, is to stop watching. You do not have to take my advice, though....I am nobody in your life just as you are nobody in mine.

Just let me enjoy the show...I don't care about ratings

exactly thats what I do. and can overlook each n every thing that can cause distraction to me.

@bebebisous33 khamsahamnida Techer-nim... al credit to your teacher instinct that we have become ardent student of urs.

And ur Scar point relating it to time traveling does make sense. As its never in history so its something to be vanished the moment WS comes in contact with HS. And here HS will do that Makeup and do it for doing history a favor.

@solelylurking just good with each other or they MUST look good then only i can disregard rest all flaws...

Ji Mong...

I dont think that homeless man noticing GHJs shoess and then eclipse can mere be a scene of no use or link to this time traveling. Second, JM saying that line should not be ignored considering mere a coincidence (PDnim doing these on purpose to give us Moon Lovers some work to take on our sherlock caps)

Keeping all above points in mind, i have below to say:

For anyone to time travel there have to 2 characters (one in source era another in destination era). Here GHJ was 21st century person who went inside HS of Goryeo time. HJ -> HS has no memory of Goryeo era and still remember everything from 21st century. So its clear that memories of the time she is originally from are all intact. And now when she will go back to 21st century she will remember all of G Era (at least I think so)

So if I say JM was originally from Goryeo and goes to future in that Homeless person lives quite a decent time there then comes back to Goryeo builds all those aircrafts, telescope and things which are ahead of his time. Then he again goes to Future and when he sees that Eclipse creating the door of coming back he comes along with HJ...Thats the reason he has all the memories of G time intact. Besides this he has seen something related to WSs future which connects GHJ to it. And when JM-> Homeless Man (HM) sees GHJ in 21st century he follows her till she comes back. (So JM is frequest time traveler with memories of both the times except the one HM had earlier when JM took over his body)

Now I have question for my above theory...what happens to hs body in G era while he was as HM in 21st century, did anyone noticed if no then where was it hidden and if yes then why no one questioned him ?

Was that clear...? I hope it was and I wish I could write somethign better but thats all my brain could come up with.

After doing all above analysis.. i can recall movies Inception and Interstellar. One world inside other world and then we are scratching our heads to find which is inside of which one...

pretty tricky situation

[luci13]

Wow! hopefully everything goes well with the plans for Director's Cut DVD! 

Anyway, I wasn't catching up with Youku and its promo stuff thus encountered this picture on DC and I also wonder if this interview was done while filming and if so, then what kind of scenes that made 3rd looking like that? 

Apologize if this picture had been discussed before

Last post of the day! Good nite Eclipses!

Hi i am new here! I am following this drama pretty casually. But I have noted that in history, Wang So marries his sister. Was that normal at that time or encouraged? If so, why??? Just curious on the historical bits

While I would love to see the scene of them eating together, just like every SoSoo shipper, I understand the PD's decision to cut it there - the main objective and focus of that scene was really on HS not leaving So there alone and him looking longingly at his home. The eating scene would be redundant considering how many scenes Hae Soo and Wang So shared in episode 4 and their gradually developing friendship can be seen in every single one of them.
