As i 'm listening and looking into the meaning of the lyrics off the 11th ost - Wind , suddenly all my hopes for a happy ending is shattered :(. The lyrics fits perfectly of ending of the Chinese version where the love between 4th and Ruoxi was ended heart breakingly with a lot of regrets. 4th prince had to let Ruoxi go because she can 't no longer stand the cruel life in the palace and how the throne had affected the relationship between them.  I remember there's a scene in the C-version that after Ruoxi's cremation , 4th took her ash and let it flow to the wind for her wish is to be free :(. This song somehow reminds me of that tragic scene . I hope that our Moon Lover won't have such sad ending.

Hide that tears in your mind
And erase all the memories

Let’s stop here the never ending destiny
Even we will live with tears because of longing

It seems like a dispersive wind
It looks like a road I can’t find even I try

I can’t catch the destiny if it recedes
So I let you go

You’ll disappear after sunrise
So I’m tying to get you in my eys as much as I want

The person I have to erase when the darkness comes
Should I let you go like this?

It seems like a dispersive wind
It looks like a road I can’t find even I try

I can’t catch the destiny if it recedes
So I let you go

From your steps leaving behind me
I can’t stand tears anymore

You looks like a falling petal
So you looked so pitiful
And I have to stop like this…

One day, if we can meet again
Let’s not say goodbye

My love

Wow... the 1000 page

MLSR is the second KDrama that make me lurking around Soompi everyday, the last one is JTBC's Cruel City.

LJK & JKH are perfect as WS & SH

Should probably watch Time Between Dog and Wolf 

 

I liked Heartless City. Jung Kyung Ho played together with Lee Jong Gi in Time Between Dog and Wolf, I guess that's the reason you want to watch it.

Two Weeks was great as well. Hero is the only drama of Lee Jong Gi that I haven't watched.

For me, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo is also the second drama I lurk on Soompi, after Pinocchio.

What's with this drama. Waiting for 7 more episodes feels too long, I want to finish this quickly so I would have enough rest afterwards.

Scarlet Heart Ryeo Episode 12 & 13 Recap – Uprising

A new chapter begins in Scarlet Heart Ryeo Episode 12 & 13 as the princes start the literal fight for the throne with Hae-Soo caught in the middle of it. Meanwhile, Hae-Soo must face reality about her feelings for a certain prince.

Absence

For questioning his judgment over Court Lady Oh’s execution, the king sends 4^th Prince away from the palace as an ambassador to China. He also demotes Hae-Soo to the lowest palace maid, serving outside the palace gates. A year passes. Power-hungry 3rd Prince tells Princess Yeon-Hwa to marry him and 8^th Prince surprises his sister, Yeon-Hwa, by approving. She could aid 8^th Prince in getting the throne, he reasons. Yeon-Hwa sees it as merely a hostage position.

8^th Prince finally visits Hae-Soo. He’s regretful over his failure to help her in prison, but Hae-Soo still cares for him. 4th Prince returns. He wants to take Hae-Soo away from her demoted palace position of drudgery. But she tells him that he only reminds her of painful things and to stay away. Yeon-Hwa takes her marriage future into her own hands and proposes to 4^th Prince. He rejects her by telling her he doesn’t desire the throne like she wants him to.

Spoiler

Deadly Dance

3^rd and 8^th Prince decide to assassinate the king with the help of a female sword-dancing entertainer and take the throne while the Crown Prince is away. At the banquet, the king suddenly falls ill and collapses. Just then the 13^th Prince, who has been in love with the dancing girl for a while now, realizes what she’s going to do and stops her from assassinating the king.

“Marry me.”

4th Prince once again offers to help Hae-Soo escape the palace – this time by marrying her. He even promises to divorce immediately if that’s what she wants. Hae-Soo refuses to marry him just to help herself. 8th Prince overhears and isn’t happy over their romance.

Hae-Soo is summoned to make tea for the ailing king. The princes gather at the king’s residence to check on him but soldiers refuse to let them enter. It could be dangerous for the heir, the Crown Prince, if another prince went in there just as the king died and then he declared he had received the king’s will to be his heir.

Letting Go

The king, on his deathbed, entreats Hae-Soo to bring the Crown Prince before he passes. He warns her that if anyone asks if he died, that person cannot be trusted. Hae-Soo tries to escape the palace unnoticed but stumbles into 8th Prince. He asks if the king is dead. Hae-Soo blatantly asks if he if wants the throne. 8th Prince admits that he wants to be king and that the next day 3^rd Prince and he will start a coup. He warns her not to tell anyone; that this is their chance to be together.

The king dies. Hae-Soo tells 4^th Prince about 8^th Prince’s plan. They secretly send out 13^thPrince and his dancing-girl lover to find the Crown Prince, but it’ll take two days before they’ll return. 8^th and 3^rd Prince approach the king’s quarters with an army. 4^th Prince guards the residence with a small garrison. 8^th and 4^th Prince duel each other.

Suddenly, the Crown Prince shows up. 8^th Prince had already sent for him days ago, tricking 3^rd Prince into committing treason alone. Meanwhile, Hae-Soo realizes 8^thPrince’s true colors. She accuses him of testing her loyalties and trying to get the 4^thPrince killed. 8^th Prince admits he wanted 4^th Prince to be killed in the chaos so that another contender for the throne was removed. Hae-Soo tells 8^th Prince their relationship is over.

3^rd Prince, soon to be executed for treason, escapes the palace but 8^th Prince and 4^thPrince hunt him down. 4^th Prince fights him at a cliff and 3^rd Prince falls to his death. Later, 4^th Prince visits Hae-Soo and tells her he killed his brother. She cradles him as he weeps.

Thoughts and Feels About Scarlet Heart Ryeo Episode 12 & 13

4th Prince sheds tears over 3rd Prince’s death

4^th Prince gets even more heroic while 8^th Prince goes further to the dark side!! Honestly, I love both of their trajectories and how each actor is fleshing out his respective role. I so adore seeing 4^th Prince being all selfless, not only for Hae-Soo but in protecting the king and the Crown Prince without any thought to his own position. He is really a relationship driven person; he’s only interested in gaining someone’s heart not an empty seat, not even power.

In contrast, 8^th Prince’s heart is now consumed with lust for the throne. He’s always been extremely quiet and outwardly selfless, never contending with the king or any of his brothers. I think he wanted to be invisible early on, afraid or reluctant to go after the throne. But after his sister, Yeon-Hwa, forced him into a situation to choose between family/throne or a peace-filled life with Hae-Soo, the beast within was awoken. 8th Prince was almost frightening when he told Yeon-Hwa to marry their evil, controlling half-brother, 3^rd Prince. He coldly told her she owed him that much since she compelled him to go after the throne. He’s really not playing nice anymore!

Hae-Soo finally understands 8th Prince’s true intentions

Hae-Soo’s emotional journey was a bit frustrating when compared to the princes since she’s been slower to change. I wasn’t surprised that she chose to overlook and forgive 8^thPrince again and again, but it did grow somewhat tiresome. I just wanted her to realize he wasn’t her sweet, kind boyfriend anymore. He’s after the throne, girl!

However, Hae-Soo’s love for him was unchanged. She was ready to quietly love him from a distance – possibly forever. Which to be fair, is really consistent with Hae-Soo’s personality so far. She’s far from self-seeking. Hae-Soo has never asked for anyone to do, be or risk anything for her. She’s waited for 8^th Prince for a looong time. And she’s trusted in him no matter what. But 8^th Prince didn’t reciprocate that same trust. He tested her loyalty to him (to see if she’d tell anyone of his and 3^rd Prince’s coup) when she had never done that to him. Not only that, but he’d used her to get at 4^th Prince – even after knowing how guilty she felt about causing Court Lady Oh’s death. That was just cruel.

I’m definitely excited now for what’s in-store for Hae-Soo and 4^th Prince. So far, most of the romantic feelings have been on 4^th Prince’s side. I’d love to see Hae-Soo’s heart finally opening up to him. I’d also love to see her come out of the constant depression. She used to smile a lot but now she’s mostly exhausted and sad. Of course, she lost her best friend, was tortured, and has terrible visions of the future – that would make most people depressed. But she’s also got a couple hot princes vying for her love. Don’t forget to count your blessings, Hae-Soo!

Hello yeorobun. I am a silent reader since the first episode aired. This is my first experience to religiously follow a sageuk drama, just because i am a fan of the c-version & the author of the novel -Tonghua.

one common trait in all Tonghua's writings is the female heroine has a very different mannerism, ways of thinking and speaking compared to people in surroundings during that particular period. it is like throwing a red marble on a bowl of rice, which makes it strikingly eye catching just by sitting there doing nothing. and it is also her writing preference to have more than 1 love lines in a novel. comparing So-Soo's relationship journey to Yinzhen-Ruoxi's, i must say that they are totally different. RX only started to open up her hearts to YZ years after she had broken up with 8th (it feels fast too in the drama, but actually it took more than a year in the novel). So i don't see RX starting her relationship with YZ as a rebound thing. Here in SHR, i think the writer is trying to develop overlapping love lines. It is undeniable that Soo unconciously had already fallen for So, but her major principle in relationship is that she doesn't want or like changes, she also expects her object of affection to stay the same. so, it makes so much sense that Wook must change in order to trigger the break up because Soo will never be the one who initiates it, she doesn't like changes afterall. We as viewers saw how Wook develop his dark persona in ep 11, but Soo didn't saw it until their confrontation in ep 13. 

Yes, i had my roll eyes moments watching ep 12 & at some point i wanted to smash my mobile phone. but then again, it really is Soo's character to begin with.

Back to the overlapping love lines. i don't think Soo will embark on her relationship with So as a rebound thing. She has fallen in love with him for a long time, it was her relationship with Wook that held her back, as much as she doesn't like changes, i think she will hate to be labeled as a cheater more. i think she just needs some defining moments to realize how much So has occupied her heart & mind without her realizing it. i think So-Soo's journey to mutual relationship is more similar in a way with Tonghua's main couple in Da Mo Yao. it is not that the female lead is two timing 2 hot dudes, she is pinning on one that keeps on rejecting her because of his inferiority complex, while the other dude is similar with So in this love department. after she gave up any hopes after so many rejections, she almost immediately begin her relationship with the other hot dude. i will just retyped some parts of the translation by Koala to describe how actually the female lead feels the moment she realizes it is someone else that has been the owner of her heart.

 

In the silent plains, even the wind appears to have stopped. All I can hear is his heartbeat & my heartbeat. Everything faded from my heart, so that in this entire world there was only him & me, me & him. In a brief moment, it felt like an entire lifetime. From the first time I saw him and our eyes met until this very moment, all these memories flashed through my mind. In this moment I finally knew, that little by little, in the unaware and the subconcious, he had already permanently carved himself in my heart. (credit to Koala's playground. Da Mo Yao chapter 21). 

 

Under the brilliant sun, he's so beautiful that it stuns my heart. All around us is the thunderous cheer of the spectators. But everything disappears in my ears. My world is completely silent, and in the silence there is only his form seemingly flying through the wind. in that moment, i know that in my entire life, i will never forget what i have seen today. Even when all my hair turns white and my eyes can no longer see, i will still be able to describe in vivid detail his each and every single movement. (credit to Koala's playground, Da Mo Yao chapter 23).

 

Going forward, i really expect to see Soo going head over heels for So. as much as the sacrifices So has made, i expect Soo will go the same distance for him. I need to see how much Soo is in love with So to believe that their relationship is worth the journey beyond time & space.

 

i also want to applause you all here. this is my first time reading a thread that is very rich in contents. Salute!

 

 

Thank you for your note-worthy additional insight to this drama discussion. It says a lot about the author novel's writings that despite major hiccups in the production of Scarlet Heart Ryeo, the story is one of the main reason that pulls the viewers. LJG is one factor but its the story that captures and intrigues the viewers more that they stay tune. Yes, I agree with you about the viewers needing more to see how Soo falls madly in love with Wang So so to see them as an eternal lovers. We still have yet to see Soo's showing the same amount of fervent love and sacrifice to Wang So as that of Wang So to Soo's across the 13 episodes. I watched the still cuts where Hae Soo and Wang So in the boat and them meeting near the tree lane, Hae Soo still have that apprehensive, careful look not the kind of look a lover will give to their partner. Its not just about the kiss on the lips but rather love and sacrifice. While on the other hand, Wang So is soo happy, smiling, moon smile, laughing like he having the time of his life. Maybe I think, she is still caught up with the vision of cruel Gwangjong that she still have not fully shown that deep love. I hope like you that things will happen that cause Soo to fall in love deeply with Wang So. I think it has to do with her changing history. Thanks for the additional insight. Thumbs up for your post!

I predict this will happen after the smooch from IU... I mean, HaeSoo. Because he feels acceptance from Haesoo, he doesn't hesitate to kiss her properly. Only prediction, I have to ask Jimong the truth about this.

Q : That’s why I prepared multiplice choices. If you were to go on a variety program, which one would you choose? “Real Men”, “Three Meals A Day”, “Running Man”, “SNL Korea”, “Please Take Care of My Fridge”?

A: If I had to choose one, it would be “Three Meals A Day”. I think it would allow me to show myself in a natural way. And I like cooking and using my body.

 

If you wanna read another interview Q&A you can go here. There also questions about MLSHR 

 

Oh my God. I'm dead. he's too perfect to be real, whoever he eventually ends up with will be so lucky hahaha.

Also, joining all who are ready to forgive Yo everything if he' the reason WS and HS will have a bedscenee. You want the throne?? Take it as long as you don't interrupt our OTP!!!!! Yes the thirst is too real hahah

I so hope that you are wrong about Bo Gom! No! I like him so much in Reply 1988, he should marry a beautiful girl and have many cute babies! The same about Junki, but to be honest this thought occurred me when I watched My girl-I thought-ah, this guy is too girly and cute probably he is a gay. But I also hope that I'm wrong.

 

O em ji..... I'm so sorry for being rude...really sorry but what kind a crap is that????!!!! I just knew about this off topic things and backtracked the post to find the origin...this is really a crap ... I'm sorry i just can't help my self for not saying that this is too much....

That's is his signature style. Lee Joon Gi mentioned in the interview that the Director portrays his artsy side on the film. (In his previous drama he did the same but it fits for a modern melodrama and the casts are established actors.) But sometimes I think it is overbearing as it may be relevant in focusing more on the characters portraying the emotions but in a Saeguk drama and especially with less experienced casts except for LJG, Kang Haneul, Kang Hanna (is fine) and the veteran supporting casts, it brings more critiques than good. I have recently watched a film where it does feature close-ups but it is done rightfully, not too much and not too-in-the-face. I'm sure we have more of LJG in actions in the upcoming scenes. If not, I'm going to flip table. Haha! Wang So meant to feature and shine more in the latter part of the film so we can expect and feast our eyes on his majestic being and action scenes! Kekekeke.

P.S. This might be an unpopular opinion but while I think the Director uses too many a times of close-up, his aesthetic brilliance can be seen from the great cinematography. Hope for his next film, he come to understands where to use close-ups rightfully. And do not forsake one stamps or style in the expense of how the film is to be portrayed and conveyed to the viewers.

I think you mean with that winter the wind blows? I remember watching many song hye kyo's close up scenes and I admired her beauty from that close up scene. The director is so talented in making great cinematography if the scenes are taken from afar, I think.

Actually i love their dynamics offscreen is translated on screen. They blend well. I am not shipping them in romantic way but on professional level because i seldom see this kind of chemistry without thinking them as couple. 

JG is such a sweetie by sharing his craft with his costars specially to those hoobaes. I was smiling when he posted his 1M IG  commemoration with the SHR staff. dramHe is such a cinnamon roll. 

 

 

Yes that ig photo to commemorate the 1mil followers really makes me realise there are really things to learn from him. 

Most pple would choose to post their own pix but by posting the ensemble shot, he was saying volumes and achieve several objectives like the success was due to everyone and at the same time continue to promote the drama

I was talking about It's Okay, That's Love but That winter the wind blows also features close up scenes.

Shouldn't we tell Junki that our thread has reached 1000 pages? But, I don't think he'll be able to see it though
