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

[aine7]

Totally off-topic again. 

Can you imagine how much and how often I talked about ML, if my colleagues decided to surprise me with the attached? I guess it's just one answer: a lot!!! Oh God... they are so nice and soooo crazy!

First of all, thank you live recappers!!! Couldn't ve made it in office if it hadn't been for you all...

Ep 12 and 13... too many emotions...on one hand we have WS willing to divorce HS so that she can get her freedom on the other hand WW manipulating everyone just so that he can become king and then have HS in the palm of his hand and HS trying to keep her distance from everyone so that she doesn't cause any more trouble...then the king dying with saying Lady Oh s name, the queen going over shock and finally the power struggle begins for the throne...

i have to really hand it to the writer. They have shown the k version in a different manner adapting to Korean history and not just blindly following the c version. I liked how they showed that HS held on to WW till his actions forced her to stop. She was true to her character as shown in the beginning. She honestly thought that if she didn't change neither would anyone around her. Not only was this impractical but what WW did finally brought back to her senses. She didn't run to WS s arms seeking her freedom. At the end of the day HS knew that history had to stay on course and she had to make it happen. It's going to be a huge burden for her...

New So2 fanfic!

Alignment

Summary: [Loose canon] After being defined by the scar on his face all his life, it isn't so easy for Wang So to let go of his hidden insecurities, even – or especially – when it comes to the only love of his life. Hae Soo, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to rid her beloved 4th Prince of those inferior feelings.

 

Enjoy~~

Your fanfics are one of the things I missed the most. You are the best, Akinahana! Looking forward to the next one.

I needed an outlet for my OTP obsession:

We both managed to survive and not die, so I'll see you on the other side (temporary title)

Summary:

There's an alternate universe where Baek-Ah and So just say richard simmons this richard simmons and go to live in the mountains.

And they pass the days with So training people in martial arts and Baek-Ah painting and playing music.

 

Nothing polished, as I haven't written in so long, but I'm just going to post as I go along and would love some feedback!

Thanks for the fanfic. Hope to read more of your work!

@kriswu @Visually-wandering What So says to Su in his ep. 14 confession is "널...은애한다" ("Neol...eunae-handa") where eunae = sarang

I actually wanted to ask @ruizaio, why is it sageuk only ever use words like 은애, 연모, and such and never 사랑? When did sarang enter the Korean vernacular (since, as far as I can tell, it isn't associated with any hanja the way the other two are, i.e.  恩愛  and  戀慕)? I've always been curious

Oh now I get it!  Thanks a lot! 은애한다 친구야 ❤️

Guys if the above sounds too harsh its not to be read that way because it is not a judgement on HS merely how i felt her motivations to be.

I don't think it's harsh at all and I, from my interactions with women who have left controlling and/or abusive relationships, can see a ring of truth in what you're saying. It's not that I think Su and Uk had an abusive relationship... not at all... but I agree that Su wants to think the best of people even when faced with evidence to the contrary. That worked well with So... because the core of who he was largely misunderstood by everyone and he was trying to belong somewhere. In this instance her desire to help him did bring out the best in him. However, her do-gooding is a double-edged sword as we saw in Ep. 10 and 11, as it was used against her to implicate her in a capital crime.

I believe she stuck it out to the very end with Uk for two reasons. Firstly, it was important for her to believe that their romance wasn't a lie, that somehow she was some kind of idiot to believe that she was loved. On top of all that she had suffered from Lady O's death and the attempted poisoning of the CP, it would be even more devastating for her to realise that she had given her heart to a man who didn't even love her even just a tad. I think it gave her some comfort to know that he did love her in spite of not delivering at all. Secondly, I think it also goes to the issue of judgement. Was she so wrong about a man who seemed to all intents and purposes, the perfect guy? I can't imagine how earth-shattering it must be to face the fact that the man you gave your heart to wasn't just timid about coming forward to plead your case but that he might be a first class blackguard.  

The fact that he couldn't deliver on even the most simple promises should have set off alarm bells. But of course Su wants to think the best of people. And she's more than willing to give them chance after chance. The fundamental problem was that Su really didn't know Uk that well. All those stolen moments they shared seemed few and far between. In the end, it was the image more than the man that took her fancy. Or the possibility of what this man could offer her.

The part that I think was "controlling" was Uk saying that he did it all for her sake. I'm not sure about anyone else, but it felt a lot like emotional blackmail to me. Telling her that he embarked on the road to hell and throne grabbing because he was too powerless to protect her... puts the onus on her to support him and it gives him a cover for his ambitions. This in turns gives him justification for doing all kinds of heinous things because in his mind, he's only doing it all to protect Su. Still, Uk continues to see himself as the victim in all of this and uses his "victimhood" to justify his ambition to get on board the game of thrones.

That's why I've been saying that we don't really need to feel that sorry for him. He's a guy who doesn't like to get his hands dirty so he piggybacks on others and what they're doing so he doesn't have to look like the bad guy. He's very clever about it but that kind of MO has limitations. That's why he will never be king and even on the off chance that he does... he won't be a good one. Plotting and scheming will only get you so far. To rule or govern, you actually have to do something and take responsibility for it.

 

I haven't read Candide in years... not since I completed my undergrad studies. But I also remember it as a satire on Utopianism. As I've said on a number of occasions, before the death of Lady O, Su was an unerring optimist. She was wide-eyed about living in the palace thinking that she could go around helping people with happy abandon and not bring negative attention to herself. But yeah, she was mugged by reality in a big way. 

I think it was @liddi who said that we were somehow strong-armed into seeing Uk's negative side. I can imagine someone taking that position if you thought that Uk was not such a bad guy and now suddenly he's scheming and "prioritizing". I guess for me, there were always disturbing tendencies in his personality from Day 2 so I'm not as taken aback by the "prioritizing". That self-centredness, that indecision, that lack of action... they were all pointing to something. All he needed was the right trigger to put him on the present path... and he found it.

ML being a K drama... well, they do love their villains to be villains.

Incidentally Uk being ambitious doesn't bother me but really he's such a weasel about it. The man can't even be open about it like Yeon Hwa or Yo. It is fascinating that he wants to do bad things behind the scenes and come up smelling like roses... but really who is he kidding?

(Good grief, how did I manage to write another essay again? I don't mean to and they just sort of happen)

the way WS love HS will be even possessive and obsessive after HS accepted his feeling... this one will happen and ultimately will cause HS to suffocate in the way WS love her... this is why their love in novel often describe as a dysfunction love .. it the type that destroy each other when they together.. 

even before HS accepted his feeling WS dare to defying king to save HS.. nothing matter to him except HS.. i kinda shock with what WS said about being a king.. that throne is only a tool to get HS heart and nothing more.. he don't even care about the power because IF the throne will give HS heart so he will get that.. simple as that..

anybody can realize WS can beat WY but remember WY held HS as hostage and WS will drop his sword if there is another sword on HS neck.. this is the only way that WY can be a king... whether HS being kept in palace and WS go out from palace.. this one i don't believe in that cause you can see how WS need HS and to left her there alone?? its just not WS style at all so my guess after WY became a king WS and HS along with BaekAh and Wonhee will ran away from palace...

@violet90  I can believe this but this also could be apart of WW doing because it may be his bright idea to hold HS hostage to get WS to backdown and once again he shows himself to HS trying to make himself the hero again until HS learns differently that WS gave up the fight to protect her..

I don't think SBS has another channel like MBC & KBS so maybe they won't air the show

@jenzotaku  Trust and believe if they say it's play catch day (BaseBall) that's just what it is maybe the game will finish early enough to air the episode but I won't hold my breath on it..

How can I survive?

Only 1 episode each weeks for 3 consecutive weeks?

I should meet Jimong to make sure about all of this bad news.

@Visually-wandering  Look on the bright side of things that one episode will move this thread problly another 1000 comments..All the insightful comment analyze comment and the humor comments so it will be some fun times for those one episodes.

after HS gone i just wondering how WS life would be...

@violet90  It will take a minute and a lot of YH comforting but he'll give into her, In the beginning Yh was the only other person that treated him like a human as he said he often wonder what kind of woman she grow up to be.. I think he chooses her to try and keep her from becoming like his vile mother..
