what WS ask to HS is not marriage proposal of love... he offer an escape route.....

the only way for her to get out from slavery is to marrying someone important or by king order or death... WS level of prince make it possible to take away HS from there and to be honest WS can't bear to leave HS in that place.. its what he offering not because of love or anything and HS with her mind cannot just accept it because she want to run away from palace... its not fair for both of them because she don't love WS yet or she does't realize it... so it make sense why she rejected...

also did't anyone notice HS still limping?? i mean its been a while since WS gone and her feet still can't function properly.. or the the torture left a permanently thing on her leg???

lastly BRAVO to WS because he slammed into WW face what he can't do to protect HS and defend her... WW really need a big slap on his face about that..... 

 

Partly agree with @violet90, yes he offers an escape route but since he loves her so much, he feels responsible for her. Like he said, you're my person. When WS loves someone, he truly committed to that person - unlike a certain someone *evil eyes

I think HS is at her lowest level. She has been beaten again and again, so she feels she doesnt deserve such offer. She feels she has caused so much grieve (please forget me, it's all my fault) that she thinks what's happening to her now is what she deserved. I really hope WS will not be too offended by her rejection, instead understand her pov and try to 'cure' HS. 

She's limping! I notice that too. Hopefully it's not permanent. I read somewhere in the C version, Rouxi never truly regains her health. Hopefully it's not the case here. 

WW is sooo delusional and thinks that he's blameless. He should look at himself properly and be so ashamed at himself. 

But my fear, this episode is going to break my heart. The last 9 episodes will feel like riding roller coaster, the high excitement and the impending doom all mix together. Sigh

@LyraYoo the online viewership within Korea is already measured by something called the brand index or social content  index. I can't remember the actual name but other posters have wrote about it before.

The thing with naver is that it allows foreign viewership but the advertisers there are local advertisers becos of the language platform so to local advertisers, the local viewership is more relevant.

Yes they would have covered their cost and make some money from the youku n Japanese rights, that's why they push their limits with youku and secure the highest sale price ever.

However relying on China is getting ever riskier because of the political(missile) issue. For e.g Saimindang due to broadcast this season is already pushed back to next year.

The south east Asian markets have always been in the picture, there were always up to date legal telecast of k dramas here for a long time (I am in Singapore), it's just that becos the mkts are smaller, we dun add so much weight to the monetary takings. Japan and China are still the major revenue generator.

I would think scarlet is a success this time round in southeast Asia becos of the simulcast.

Had it not been a simulcast I would not have watch it that closely too. 

So Scarlet is an interesting case of study about pre-producing a drama, foreign financing and overseas market.

Going forward, I dun think there will be many other Scarlets to come, becos investors need to be assured of a hit material. BBJX was already a hit so, there was confidence in the story.

Personally, I hope they persevere on pre-producing dramas because everything can be better planned and actors dun collapse or disappear due to the stress of live shoot or accidents. It also ensure the feasibility of global simulcast benefiting everyone from investors to fans.

Why do I feel like I am writing an essay? 

Just my 2 cent worth as a long term k drama fan...

I can understand HS's rejection. Because Lady Oh has been asking and asking her to stay away from the princes. Nothing good will come out from her relationship with any of the princes. She might feel she's betraying Lady Oh's sacrifice by going against her advise. Especially if she had left the palace with Lady Oh, she will still be alive. I am not saying HS's to blame on Lady Oh's death (I blame it on the Evil Queen and YH) but HS is definitely blaming herself.

You mentioned about the limping.. this is no good as this is the first sign that her health is deteriorating as in RX's case. I NEED HAPPY ENDING... 

Sometimes, I think back and wish IF, IF ONLY WW had made it clear to the King that he wish to marry HS and emphasizing that this is Lady Hae's last wish before her death, they might have stand a chance to be together in the first place. After all, marrying HS to a prince is still enhancing their ties with Hae clan too.

Then I was thinking when WS was faced with the prospect to be sent back to Shinju (ep10), IF, IF ONLY WS had said he will go back if the King will let him bring HS along. From the earlier conversation between WS and General Park, WS can control the Shinju clan effortlessly. In the horse riding scene from Shinju (ep 1), WS seemed more like the leader of the pack than an escorted prisoner.

One interesting matter ; How can WS so clueless about the relationship between HS and WW? The walk in the rain, the look in WW's eyes when caught them together? The vinegar smell is so strong....

I applaud actors and actresses when they make me hate their villain characters. That shows that they can portray and do their job. I have nothing against Kang Ha Neul, lol. His doing fantastic job of making me hate his character now. At first I liked him-good looking, likable, kind, sweet, etc. NOW, boy how do I hate his guts, lol. I feel like his competing for number one on the hate list with WS mother, then comes Yeon Hwa, then Yoo (from what I can see, the order might differ for someone else) xD.

 

I know. It's Wang Wook vs. Yeon Hwa vs. Queen Yoo for the #1 villain spot.

On the other hand, someone mentioned about Yeon Hwa's character poster about how she will become the queen and "His Majesty" probably hints So.

This is the line I got from the poster:

"I will be empress. If not me, then who will guard His Majesty?"

I think His Majesty here can mean both So and Wook. I

If talking about So, obviously, she will betray her brother and make sure to get So on the throne if her love for So becomes deeper. But I do not think that she can guard So. Therefore, I feel that His Majesty here most likely means Wook, her older brother instead.

If talking about her still working to pay her debt to Wook and to protect her clan, His Majesty in her mind is probably Wook, not So despite the fact that she will become So's queen later on. Becoming So's queen doesn't mean that she's loyal to him because in her mind, her only King is probably Wook. Also, it says that she will guard His Majesty - I think this is saying that she will do everything to protect him from So and to make her brother the King one day.

She wants to be the god above the King. I think whether she becomes So's queen or if her brother is on the throne, she's the god above the King in both situations. So won't kill her unless she really just hits on his nerve. Wook won't kill her because she's his sister and helps him getting the throne.

But I never watched Shine or Go Crazy, so I do not know if Queen Daemok was truly a protective of her husband or not in history.

Since she's so ambitious and cunning, Hae Soo will keep suffering. Oh dear...

Woo Hee's tagline: "In this moment, I am not Baekje’s daughter, but your companion."

The companion here probably refers to both Baek Ah and Hae Soo.

Chae Ryung's tagline: "Once a woman makes up her mind, how can she throw those feelings away?”

I think this also hints her acceptance of her death at the end of the drama.

Soon Duk's tagline: No matter what people say, that person is Goryeo’s greatest man.”

Wang Eun may annoy a lot of people but he has no ambitious for the throne or want to harm others. I think that's what Soon Duk likes about him and his carefree nature also.

Yeah she's limping. I know it's not permanent because in a BTS where they are filming her as a court lady back in palace (during CP reign - I think/what most people are saying) she's walking completely fine.  

I'm so happy that you picked that up @penelop3 because I was heartbroken for a second. Knowing that the proposal rejection was BEFORE his departure keeps some hope for romantic scenes after his return. This probably won't happen but I hope Soo realises her love for him during their separation...

@Bambiina Hi!!glad you decided to join with us again

I can understand your POV dear..I myself, am a mother..so I really can understand how it feels if your children chose someone they love above you as their parents..for me they'll need to prove that their love is great enough to handle all the obstacles ahead of them..but..this is if it happens in modern times..in Goryeo..nope..as a mother I'd be afraid to see what could happen to my children if they foolishly chose their love. They'd be dead!!!!!our child and the lover..the family..all are dead! Well,that's from the son's mother POV.

From the girl (in this case HS) mother POV? I could also relate with many of our friends maternal instincts to protect HS from Wook. "How dare he left her..always talk about empty promises" If he really love her he should protect her,sacrifice,etc.

We all see it from different perspectives..but for me..I'll try to see that from both perspectives..so I could see the whole story with objectiveness. I don't hate WW..I don't hate HS (though I rolled my eyes because of her stupidity..seriously this girl)..and I couldn't even hate WY..well,maybe I hate Queen Yoo and Yeon Hwa though..haha.

6 more hours chingu!!!!

 

I am always around reading  

Yes I like to see the story from every perspective ... Always put myself in their situation and I end up appreciating each character more, enjoy the story more. More 'feel' 

As everyone goes around getting angry at HS .. I don't ... As much as I want to see HS and WS finally hit it off right away .. I prefer the transition to be more realistic. I hate to see HS a wishy washy character ... 

Now that WW has made the choice .. I hope HS will see who deserved her more.. who has been there all this while.. who is the one that she could rely on .. 

I love that WS is so determine and at the same time understand HS situation ... He patiently wait, never give up and never lose faith.

waiting on the side for HS to finally realize ..

 

 

[EclipseWF 101]

Sorry this thread is moving at lightspeed and I apologise if I'm repeating someone else's points *bow*

The 'rumours' or 'synopsis' of HS still pinning for WW is making me want to drink poison and puke blood.

The uselessness of the King is also making me want to drink poison and puke blood. (Yes I understand his actions and he's doing it for the CP yada yada yada but he has got to be the most useless character in the drama. He's almost as useful as a solar powered torch.)

I really hope the drama picks up the pace, a rushed ending would also want to make me drink poison and puke blood.

And on a totally different note, if I were to be transported back in time into an era which is like the setting of Scarlet Heart Ryeo, I will really just drink an entire pot of poison, then puke blood.

Basically end up like this:

Spoiler

[freckledcontessa 8,373]

Dear Hae Soo, 

You need to wake up and realise how much Wang So love you. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Love,

Forgive me. My kids are having their swimming lessons and i am here trying not to think too much about the episode tonight. So many vids and articles and pics that show HS as a martyr. This drama is a torture. But i love it, them, too. Sigh.

Hi, can anyone please share with me the link to watch the drama live please.

[Para12012 2,478]

How the hell can WW blame WS for HS misfortune when his sister was the one who started this entire thing because he wanted to marry HS and give up on becoming King? Then, he decided to side with his family and turn his back on HS. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame him for choosing his family. Unlike WS his family has been there for him and loves him. But where the heck does he get off!!!!

Then.. I Will give "turn down marriage proposal award" to Hae Soo...... she deserved it
