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

[lavendre 1,211]

I'm not holding on to any hope with regards to our OTP. This episode definitely left a bitter taste in my mouth. I was all so hopeful for the 'epic' love story between Wang So and Hae Soo. But sorry, I feel like the drama is trying to show a more true love between Wook and So. I think I'll watch the cversion to get my dose of 4th prince and Ruoxi. This version of their love story is epic fail.

Thanks @MadraRua for the roll call. Made it in time but streaming didn't work. Thanks to our resident recappers/screencappers, you're all amazing tonight.

I see a lot of people stressed over HS inability to move on. I don't think they had any closure yet. You need closure to be able to move on. Their loveline was abruptly cut-off, no farewell, no words. Nothing. So, it's understandable why HS is still holding on to him.

HS being mean to WS. Well, the purpose she was thrown to Gyobang was for her to not be able to meet the princes. WS in broad daylight went against a king's command and warrants a punishment. Not that WS care but most likely HS does. The only way you can make a person stay away from you is to tell him really nasty words. HS still hasn't learned her lesson about WS's determination is unparalleled. LOL. There's no way she'll be able to shake him off. 

THANKS EVERYONE! I'm waiting for the video to watch it raw then subbed tomorrow xD

GOODNIGHT ECLIPSES!

I want almost 11 richard simmons hours of my life back that I spent watching this tragedy. I feel like I need to scream at the top of my lungs at Hae-Soo. Go to hell and live with Wook in their happily. Dimwit-Coward, match made in drama hell. Wang So, you deserve better. My ship sank like Titanic to the bottom of the ocean. This is the first drama that has such an unlikable leading lady.

This drama has THE WORST FEMALE LEAD EVERRR.

we were duped into watching an epic romance between the OTP.instead we are seeing a severely one-sided love story involving the first lead.This is worse than the C version.dumbest female.

adaptation my foot! would it have cost them an arm to write HS as a feisty female lead with spunk? so what everything that she went through.This is a drama for goodness sake.

It is good riddance from my part for this disaster.

EPIC FAIL OTP

Doesn't look like Baek Ah got stabbed, but Woo Hee .... he was fine when he pull away but he was concerned looking at Woo Hee.

I had the same impression! at the beggining seemed as if got stabbed- but then as he pull away seems fine .

Yeon hwa confessed to WS. She said she has always love SO...

 

I have a hard time believing her 100%.  She may be interested in WS but I don't think it's love.  She just doesn't like the thought of being used as WW's "collateral" as WW reminded her of her debt.  She doesn't like to be used by WY or WW so in that case she believes that she should use WS instead.  Well, that's my opinion anyway * peace*

the only nice thing about the episode is how they finally revealed that rather than the King and JM making use of WS to help CP gain the throne, its actually the other way round, King and CP are using CP until WS is ready to ascend the throne... wow....

YES IT SEEMS SO...JM DID WORKED WELL...GAINING TIME

Yeorobun...Monday is finally here! I will be away on a business trip from tomorrow - but will be lurking whenever possible!

One possible reason for Hae Soo's reappearance in the palace (i.e. battle scene). - My guess is that Taejo summoned for her. In the BBJX C-version - at the tail end of Kangxi's reign, the emperor's appetite dwindled and he craved for Ruoxi's snacks. Ruoxi was then summoned back from the laundry department to the palace to serve until he passed on. Similar for Hae Soo - she was Lady Oh's right hand woman. In ep 10, Lady Oh gave specific instructions on what the King's likes and dislikes, ailments etc - there must be a reason for those instructions. In his final days, Taejo probably wishes to have someone closed to Lady Oh by his side to comfort his dying soul (deserving or not - that's another essay). 

And how did Hae Soo ended up as a Sanggung during CP's reign? It could be Taejo's instructions as well. 1. She is well trained by Lady Oh and is loyal to CP. Even during her worst moments, she did not betray CP's trust. 2. To make her "unmarriageable" - a court lady belongs to the King and cannot be married or released without the King's permission. Hands off princes!! 3. To thank Soo for her service in his final days - a token of his love for Lady Oh. 

Do I make any sense? 

And on the love story of Soo and So - there must be a scene in ep 13 or 14 to push Soo to face her feelings squarely in the face. That has to do with him being hurt or at the brink of death. Recently, LJG posted a photo of him lying down - possibly injured - with IU in the background right? There has to be a "bridging" scene somewhere down the line to turn her into So's person. 

Let's see how the story move this week. The wait will be over in less than 12 hours. Roll call soon!!  

Yeorobun...my prediction wasn't half bad yah?

damn frustrated with this ep but I am just going to sit back and enjoy. Come what may. I am here for So. He can love who ever he wants be it Hae Soo, Yeon Hwa,   His horse. So is the only reason why I am still watching this! Arghhhhh!!!!!

1. do not change the history.....

HS listen to what the king said.. if she change history thing will be different and she can't or won't do that.. more importantly it was her mission to make WS the king.. the thing is HS bound to the palace like the king said and she HAVE to see all the thing unfold without trying to change anything no matter how she will suffer toward the end.. she the most suffering character in this drama.. know everything , can't do anything , being tortured , beaten and being toss around.. 

the only wrong she doing right now is love a useless guy and reject the worthy one.. its a LOVE problem...

what she facing is the future of Goryeo and she have the most heavy burden to do.. 

tomorrow just like in BBJX HS will ask WS whether he want to be a king and he will say yes.....

this is the start of HS life to help WS to be a king and next week the start of the ship that we all been waiting for....

i already guess that people will dislike HS just like RX... what the writer did shape the main character in the novel is she make RX as humanly as possible.. with flaw , greed and selfish..

people always being serve with a perfect female lead and now here in this drama the female lead is actually making the wrong choice....

she wrong for loving the wrong male , hoping for him and reject the right male... 

 

[chickenchopflipflop 1,535]

WHY THE NICE GUYS ALWAYS GET STABBED/POISONED/REJECTED 

honestly again i think BK got stabbed cause they don't have to time to develop him and woohee's story so fast forward to life threatening injury.... anyway he will not die.. its unexpected but not really that interesting. 

the only nice thing about the episode is how they finally revealed that rather than the King and JM making use of WS to help CP gain the throne, its actually the other way round, King and CP are using CP until WS is ready to ascend the throne... wow....

Actually.. WS has given her all the way out to change history. If he's with her, he will not be Gwangjong thus he will not kill his brothers. WHy wouldnt HS take this route?

 

She is just stupid she is making my blood boil with her idiocy. Quite surprised that divorce was an okay thing at that time. If it was not frowned upon, then seems like women in Goryeo were in a sense more free than women in present Korea. 

[Dr_Fangirl 1,964]

I just remembered!

During the 6 minute preview,Baek Ah was by Wang So's side when they were entering the castle for battle.

All fit and dashing on his horse.

So,people....REJOICE!

Baek Ah will be just fine like his hyung.

Thank God they inherited the hard-to-die gene.heheheheheh

It's a brilliant plot twist which makes me happy because it means WY will not become king.  I like how the king and JM think. CP followed by WS. WW and WY can go have tea with Won for all I care

[larinalove 4,438]

As we have said numerous times now, there is not much time to build a solid relationship anymore between the supposed leads, it is clear the war for the throne has began, there are still too many conflicts and politics to be resolved and the build up is very fragile to the point that I don't believe anymore that it will be convincing when she realizes her love that it will be for the right reason.

I am not saying that she should immediately jump into a relationship with WS, I knew that would never happen but at least she should have the decency to treat him better and respect him more because he was the one who stood by her at her hardest and not Wook, while she has mercy and kindness for Wook even after what he did, while she justifies his actions she sure is very quick to judge WS even after all that he's done for her. At this point I give up, I will watch still but nothing they show me can redeem this in my eyes.
