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

“Are you here to spy on people bathing again?”

Why do I suspect soon will come a time when So will wish she would some to “spy” on him again? It wasn’t her who bumped into him this time, though, and just imagine his face when he spotted her! It’s actually sweet how So thinks she is again up to something potentially dangerous and he jumps at the opportunity to be her guardian wolf again. It’s clear he has missed her and is so happy to be around her again that he doesn’t even bother to hide it.

What makes their relationship so fascinating is the fact that it’s basically a noona romance - physically So might be a seasoned warrior and a few years older than her, but regarding social maturity she is the more experienced one, with her having the mind of a 25-year-old woman. And this age difference has been reflected into all their interactions - no matter how So tries to tease her or intimidate Hae So with the way how he tends to lean into her personal space, she is always utterly unflustered by it. On the contrary, it’s always her who manages to make him flustered, awkward and bashful. 

“Like you said, it’s my home with my mother and siblings.”

“It’s too big for a home. Do you even get to see your parents every day?”

It’s always her kindness and her understanding of him which gets him flustered. First she asks how he’s been and it’s something most people would say out of politeness nowadays, but to So it’s something completely new, plus she isn’t asking only to be polite but because she truly cares. And secondly, she immediately hits the nail on the head when she asks him about the very thing wthat keeps bothering him.

“You’re useless… Your only talent is in killing people. You don’t know anything, so how will you last in the palace?”

So already instinctively feels the need to protect Soo from his mother. I love how consistent So’s character development is because he still retains his ability to be hurt by his mother, which is natural after all the years he’s been yearning for her love and affection. Yet at the same time, he is able to face her head-on because he already accepted the fact she won’t probably ever love him. It’s actually more powerful than if he’d just flipped a switch and challenged her with nonchanlance and vitriol.

The whole set-up of the scene with HS eavesdropping on the conversation is perfect, because she finally realizes the cause of all So’s pain. And he knows she is there. He is actually more concerned and sad that she left than by the fact that she heard it because he already trusts her enough to know that she will keep his secrets safe.

I have to say I love Park Ji Young’s portrayal of Queen Yoo - she is not your typical one-dimensional, shrieking and bitchy sageuk Queen. Yes, she is a terrible mother to So and she is power-hungry and self-centered, but at the same time she is badass, cold, cunning and composed; and has clearly a soft spot in her heart for her youngest son. I simply love to hate her.

Chingusss, I know from the bottom of my heart I love you all with your amazing post here, but don't you guys sleep? I just back to my real life for a while and now Iam 20pages behind?? 

Kidding guys, just keep up your awesome posts, I will be staying up all night to catch you guys up. 

This is my very first post in this drama which I crazily in love with. Mostly because uri Sosoo couple. I am in love with them. Both play their character very well, the chemistry is just so clicked together. I watched another drama of LJG & IU, but never felt dragged before (even, never felt this crazy fangirling by any drama so far). I need them more than just twice a week for sure

When I watched ep 1, I got shocked by how cruel 4th prince was, he spilled blood on the very first episode, so it got me to think it's gonna be an epic if he is in love, that's the first reason why I continue to watch the the show. But then, as you all can predict, I fall deeper and no longer can't get out the show. And of course, I should be thankful to you guys, you're just adding a gasoline to my fire. Lolololol.

Sorry for my rambling, I just want you to know that you have loyal silent lurker here. Happy posting \^O^/

@briseis Again  your post.

Though I thought he was more embarrassed by his mother's put down and didn't want Hae Soo there to witness it. I felt he was relieved to not find her still hiding there. It was nice of Hae Soo to leave him with the illusion of privacy, even if he isn't sure she heard everything. Agreed I liked the fact Hae Soo got to hear how much his mother despises him. Makes him more human in her eyes.

It took me a little while but I finally managed to resync and fix the subtitles for episodes 1-3 directors cut version. Scenes were switched around, some deleted and some were added too so that took a while translating. Can’t promise it’s perfect but I hope you all appreciate it anyway! Keep replying and quoting this post so people can see it. And spread the word! So we can build more interest for this drama!

Now, the question you are all asking...

HOW TO DOWNLOAD.

1. Open a new tab in your browser.

2. Type in <idowhatiwantwheneveriwant> and a period then <tumblr> then a period <com>

I posted the links to the episodes and the subtitles there. Basically type in the blog name then a dot then tumblr dot com Ok?

Hopefully you guys will understand. Enjoy chingus!

actually we're in diffent time, when one part of the world sleeps, the other one in different time awakes, that's how we're taking turns to bombard the thread with some discussions and other stuffs.... lol, well... the real reason is that were so addicted to this moon lovers, and there's nothing is more helpful to wait Monday-Tuesday come unless keep spazzing and posting updates.... lol

===============================================================

this isnt appeard in aired episodes right?

they're happy here...

cr dc inside

P.S. so, since everyone tells about director's cut, what's scenes or epsidoe that was cut off, I mean.. previously I read someone ask where can she/he watch the director's cut episode. Ah, don't worry most of KDramas are followed by its director's cut dvd version, just wait patiently, and you'll get good news later.

@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.

 

I've already been saving the funds I'll need to purchase the director's cut. Haha. Please keep us informed about this if possible. (I remember you helped me a lot with the purchase of the director's cut for Healer.) Your efforts are always very much appreciated! ^^

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? 

 

 

Maybe Wang Yo gets exiled in future episodes...

Honestly the scene that So and Soo were admiring the stars.. and it snowed suddenly, it's really off. (But no biggies for me)You wouldn't be able to see stars if snow is supposed to fall, since the cloud should/is really thick white.. However, I just don't get why that matters a lot..

 

Actually! Where I live, it's perfectly normal to see a clear sky with beautiful stars, only for it to snow the next minute. lol. I'm a big astronomy fan and can be seen standing or laying outside in the dead of winter to catch some stars. They're clearer during autumn and winter compared to spring or summer. ^^

To me, I thought he was equal parts relieved that Hae Soo might not have heard his mother's put down and disappointed that Hae Soo had left, their happy, friendly encounter cut short by Snake Queen in all her evil snake-like behavior. I've mentioned in a previous post too, but I love how Hae Soo just knew to leave and help Wang So save face, even if she felt bad that she didn't let Wang So know.

[ruzikie 37,225]

 So what's the name of Wang So and Hae Soo ship ? Still SoSoo? 

and what is YongYoo like @LyraYoo said in her last post ( Sorry, i couldn't back read because this thread moved so fast) 

@UnniSarahi agreed with you unni. Aside i feel chemistry between Haneul and IU, i feel like Wookie and Hae Soo remain as the close one with Hae Soo never tell her another side like every time she's with Wang So. I am not clever to write a word for describing Wooki and Soo but i honestly can tell they can't complete each other  

Tomorrow is Monday yihaaa~

[meahri_1 37,687]

@MadraRua I like your Snow White and the evil queen analogy. It definitely fits, especially as it relates to their personal priorities and the people in their lives. One's attempt to adorn and present herself so that she shines brighter than others can't mask the dark and cold recesses inside her. While Haesoo's vital, caring and generous spirit radiates and touches those around her. She truly is beautiful, both inside and out.

@MoOnLoVeRz  OMO. WOW is right. The fan art you just posted  is absolutely gorgeous. Sexy too. \^0^/

The Many Forms Of Love...

I may be the odd one out here as I honestly could see Soo with more than one of them I think its because her character seems to be able to move within most of the princes and in fact slowly she is and has changed them each in a different way.  Not who they are but how they see, it's early still to know how much.  She inspires with her courage, stands up in a time when that was seldom seen as in not knowing her place.  She follows her heart and brings a touch of excitement and joy by just being herself.  She may not understand all the rules or have the knowledge of this time period.  She may not follow or accept what she doesn't believe.  Or play by all their rules & regulations but those are the very things that make her so incredible and why from the king to the youngest prince even others around her know she is truly different...

There are many forms of love and we are seeing some of those very forms in how Soo relates to each prince and how they relate to her.  I think as far as the 8th prince you can see she is guided by him it's been played out as romance even love.  It very well maybe a form of it but we have to keep in mind where she came from and all the loss & hurt even being betrayed by those she trusted & loved.  I think the 8th prince is comfort & feels safe to her.  But there is a difference in comfort and having  passion which brings me to my thoughts on the 4th prince who hides his heart behind the safety of his eye mask.  He is a lot like her in that he also knows about loss & pain and even being betrayed by the one person every child should have on their side their Mother.  As you watch them you can feel that tick for tack them not holding back.  It's like opening your arms wide and feeling free.  She may not understand him completely but she isn't afraid of him either and it's like the start of a fire you may not see the small flame that hides underneath but you sure can see the smoke and feel the heat...

[violet90 21,970]

i don't know what going to happen in the next eps but gosh it hit me when i watch the preview... 

basically all the prince minus WY will defend HS from arranged marriage... HS just became the important person in all the prince life whether as a sister or lover or potential lover.. when HS walk into the carriage all the prince were there... HS face is like asking for help and then we have WS face that refused to watch HS face cause he know he can't stand that... 

the FEEL that we going to have when watching this eps is going to destroy me tbh...

tomorrow we will get to see WS and HS again... can't wait~~~!!!

Hello fellow moonlovers!

I'm back on soompi because my growing love for our beloved drama and uri OTP So&Soo. 

I did not watch live and marathoned the 5 episodes in one night, an instant love right there!

I super love LJK in sageuks, he's mesmerizing and other-worldly beautiful with that mane of glory. After finishing all the episodes, i missed him, so i rewatched. Only God knows how many time i've been rewatching to endure the waiting of monday.

The blossoming romance of So&Soo has captivated my heart and altho the 8th prince might seem like a contender right now, i'm sure So's love for Soo will rock her world and she'll love him back like he never sees it coming.

I'm quite sad with the cold response of Korean viewers, but somehow i feel that SBS should do greater amounts of promotion to show why SHR is an amazing drama.I'm sure It still has a chance. I hope the ratings will rise in the upcoming episodes.

This is the first drama that i wish to have more episodes because the joy of watching LJK is just...i can't even 

I also haven't watched the Cvers but i read here and there about the ending and pleaseeee Kvers should just deviate from the original version, it would be too sad if our OTP ends up not together.

I love the positive energy and massive love for our drama in soompi, keep 'em coming guys!

I think that Wang So yelling like a wild animal, that he mother should come pray to him, his conversation on that rock about his family living in the palace while he is longingly staring at it from afar, they even added the deleted scene about him mocking HS's ideas about mother to the rebroadcast version, plus all the scenes in between, are enough of development for me. I fear that if there were more allusions to it, it would feel extremely repetative.

I don't ship HS with Wook either, since I don't really feel the connection between them but neither nether did I ship the original 8th Prince and RX in the cdrama and the novel - and I think the reason why so few people really ship them is that even in the novel the writer Tong Hua never intended them to end up as the OTP. 

About 8th Prince's political significance, he is the oldest son of Queen Hwangbo (she is not the mother of the Crown Prince) and she wants to make him the king - that's her main motication and aspiration - in the Royal Palace it's always about gaining the most power and power means the throne.

You mean the re-edited directors cut, I didn't see them. Hence, the missing pieces. 

As for 8th, was he successful in any of it. 8th in the Chinese version was punished, what about our Goryeo 8th?? So far, he seems very careful about his political involvement and does not possess any such ambitions.

[qwenli 62,587]

jPersonally I feel that IU has chemistry with all the princes. It's amazing.

From what see, she can be playful with the 10th, a good sister to 14th, a bff to 13th. A romantic lady with the 8th and most of all a soulmate to the 4th.
