The drama and hae soo character is quite practical for me. For a girl who just got framed, jailed, tortured, witnessed a hanging of a mother figure and being ' blaming' herself for it, betrayed by her so-called love, from a noble lady then demoted to almost a slave, subjected to hard duty...love confession or a marriage proposal would be the last thing in her mind. She is broken beyond repaired at the moment..physically and mentally..so to expect her to accept So or whoever at the moment is quite unreal or too out of character for her. It will takes time for her to heal and collect her broken pieces together again. My heart breaks at her when reading about ppl calling her stupid, or slow or all the names  just because she doesnt accept WSs feeling yet...because it is obvious you guys are watching this drama with rom-com in mind. HS needs to get over her grief of losing Lady Oh and feeling to WW before she can totally give her heart to WS.

This is not a romantic, sweet icing with cherry on top drama...it is a journey of an epic love story between two broken soul...Why are you guys so impatient? 

I hope nobody will bash this drama if it has sad n tragic ending..well..we already know it will take that route just as the novel and c version...Make yourself prepared...to cry buckets for them...

 

I realised that tears will be flooding here again and again as followers of their "love" journey.  However to prepare it.... sigh... will we be able to prepare?  

Yes, to think of what she has gone through, will time be able to heal her?  I wish that it will.

Will she be able to trust anyone again? It will not be easy. Hopefully she will be able to... WS don't give up, just be with her till she is ready.

Will she be focusing on surviving only like before?  Well, have to watch it with everyone tonight...

Woah...you guys are all unstoppable force of awesomeness!  I've been away out of town for an emergency business trip in the past 6 days and here we are already on page 863.... *DEAD* now I have missed almost 190+ pages worth of discussion and there's no way I could keep up with all of you. *slowly curling back to the corner and raise a white flag to surrender* oh boy, I pitied my life as a 20 something corporate slave with no authority or freedom whatsoever to be a legit kdrama fangirl. LOL. I spent my week in endless torture for missing out episode 11, and the agony of watching bloodied mouth WS without any denouement made me looks like I had suffer constipation all week in front of my supervisor. Definitely not the impression I would like to flaunt with. 

I'm sure there are many beautifully written analysis on episode 11 available already in this forum, so I will reserved my judgment towards WW and WS after the airing of next episode to get a more complete picture of their dynamics.

Speaking of episode 10-11, I personally thought that there are two MVP worth of characters that truly impressed me during that episode..

LADY OH: No doubt she was the actual hero of the episode. No other person than her was actually able to save Soo and convinced the king. Neither CP, WW, nor WS could do the 'impossible'. Her resentment and disbelief towards WW inaction to save HS was actually mirrored her own discontentment with Taejo's way of solving problems. The depth of her action is what breaks my heart into pieces. It's not just for saving HS, but it also for herself. She desperately needs to find a better closure to her grieving soul and she saw her way of saving HS as a perfect redemption for her inability (and Taejo's ineffectiveness) to protect her own baby in the past. Now she was able and willing to take the risk and sacrifice herself for her "daughter". It was her heartfelt plead about her unborn baby and what HS really means to her that actually moves the heaven. She might be tough and overprotective kind of mother on the outside, but it was done out of love to teach HS invaluable lesson about surviving life in palace and despite all that she still allowed her to make her own choice but carefully watch her from afar to catch her up whenever she falls or made a mistake. I believe she is the best mother figure you could ever had during goryeo times. And just like HS is too good for WW undeserving as*, taejo is definitely not worthy to receive the undying love and loyalty from her. May you rest in peace Lady Oh Sooyeon, and hopefully in the next life you will be bless with loving childrens and a husband that truly cherish you. You totally deserve it.

Princess Yeonhwa: If Queen Hwangbo figure served as Yoda to WW, Yeonhwa is definitely his dark lord of sith. LMAO. She is a master manipulator. She knows exactly the perfect argument to throw and what's button need to be pushed in order for Wook turning completely into her side of ambitious plan. And no one actually immune to her conspiracy, not even WS who was well experience to his mother evil scheme could avoid her plot to get married with him, in which demonstrates her exceptional way of manipulating things. Her scenario was more subtle, sophisticated, unexpected but perfectly spot on kind of maneuver. What makes her far superior to the evil queen is based on two things, (i) She can play much better in the duality of her role compare to the temperamental EQ, so it became harder for other people to accuse her or predict her next moves, and (ii) Unlike EQ, she's not using an authoritative and coercive way in forcing people to support her cause, she takes a more subtle route and create a complication and disillusionment that her scenario is the only plausible choice for her victims. And it only possible because she has an edge of difference with EQ, where she still retains her feeling and emphaty to certain degree. Although she highly valued her opinion only, she was not trapped in her egotistical way of thinking and dismissing other people feelings like EQ did, but she carefully perceived other people emotions and desire then used it to her own advantage.

We could clearly saw her crafty way in handling the poison dilemma, she knew she was doomed the moment WS drank three full cup of that poison and tried his best to get away with it, their original plan was fallen apart and looking at EQ not batting an  eyelashes she knows her position and involvement will be in jeopardy, she became conflicted to save herself and save WS. However within a second of thinking she managed to asses the situation and have both problems solved in one swoop of action and bravery. Which was something need to be applause. Normally people will panic, become cowardice and abort the mission completely when things start getting awry. But she didn't back down, she managed to turn things back to her favor. Clever indeed, yeonhwa. I can't wait to the day you finally manage to beat the EQ and get your revenge. I'll root for you.

In my opinion just because WW dont want to go all the way with HS and does abandon her to protect himself and his family and ambition, doesnt mean he doesnt love her. Lady Oh knew that, otherwise would not tell him he will regret his decision. 

Like his father , who didnt put Lady Oh first in many of his decisions, beggining with not marrying her and going after the throne and later even turning his eyes away when her , their own child was killed (!!!!), just because he can choose sometimes something else doesnt mean he didnt lover her more than anyother person ... in the same way, WS will, and this is my guess and my prediction, make in the future decisions that will go beyond HS and, even if now he goes after the throne to protect her, later the throne will make him less able to choose her again like nothing else matter ... for him too will be then things that would count more than his love for HS; now, is only his life against his love, but when it will be the throne and the kingdom against his love, he will be "forced" to choose political reasons against his love desires ... like many others kings, personal/affective reasons will succomb under political ones, cause he will choose to be a king more than to be a lover ... like his father, like his half-brother , like his mother, like his sister .... they all choose in the end power and not love ...

just because WW doesnt have the guts to risk his life for HS, I dont think make him a bad and pitfull guy ... is in WS's nature to be able to make such dramatic and radical choices, like the time when he did go all alone to confront tens of monks !!!! he risked his life just for his mother's gratitude !!! (is not like if he didnt do it this his mother could not survive!!  she is too good in her plans, as we already see  and as they both knew at that time)- he is very familar with danger, life risking situations, confronting authority, crossing the limits, putting his life in danger, even before he came to this palace - so, for men like him taking great risks is not the same as for normal men ; we can admire them, but let's not compare normaly men with them - is like comparing a smart guy with a supergifted one!! when is about own's life risking decisions, WS is much too beyond  WW, even if is not about love ; WS is more risky in everything, compare to WW, not only about HS; 

I dont want to minimise what WS did for HS, just to point that some things are more easy for him to do than are for others; I need more from him to show how great his love for HS is, when I know he risked his life for much less than this!

I dont think WW made empty promises for HS, just that, like some of us, cannot keep it when is about some extraordinary circumstances, even if we did indeed mean it; he never pose like he can do anything, he always put his decisions in the context - like he would ask for her desire or for  king permission; WS acts like there is nothing again his wishes, like reality can conform to his desires - even with HS he is acting like this - (I think is not a coincidence that his mother and HS both of them ask retorically if he thinks he can change their feelings by making such an impressive gesture!!); it doesnt matter she said she likes someone else, it doesnt matter she said she sees him only like her friend, it doesnt matter she reject him, it doesnt matter she was scared in front of him - all these dont matter to him - In my opinion, not because he loves her so much, he really do and probably more than she will, but also because this is his nature and his life story - he always forced reality and keep pushing it for what he wants, he survived by opposing reality and making his way out  ...

@KdramaSwimmer  and @LoveSG

Yes that opine was particularly awesome. No bias at all, just straight up what you see is what you get. I loved it too.

@meahri_1

You can borrow it anytime especially when you give an analysis like that, Great job

Edit: I must reiterate I didn't actually write that opinion, just borrowed it to share with you guys. I wish I could write like that.

@dustdevil

It sounds like a logical progression of events to me. I'm optimistic too about the ending. I really hope he gets to the future with his memories intact and we see him seeking her out.

 

So looks hot in black. I love their costume in this drama. They all look good with their costume and accessories. Never knew fashionista already exist during Goryeo time. hahahaha!!

Crazy me

I busted my mobile data too by surfing this thread every other hour. So dear friends here, please dun quote pix ok.

@junee22 thks for the reminder of the denials.hs is really hard to get....

I am curious why WS was in his mask in the day and removed it at night. All very strange costume choices. Unless they filmed these scenes separately....

@arabela if you read most of the comments from recent preview. We are actually not blaming wook for his empty promises or for his choice to put his family and ambition first, we are over it along time ago. Now we are mad because he can't own up to his own mess but he kept pushing the responsibility to others. he blame wangso for haesoo misfortune and blame yeonhwa (talking about debt) for making him abandon haesoo. His sister already said it, she was ready to die if her plan failed. He should reflect on his own mistake and learn instead of continously denying it. That's what we want

Is this from tonight's episode? I wonder what's going on.  Since WS is wearing the armour, it could be before or after the scene with WW 

 

They must be exhausted from the heat. Korea had a heatwave this summer. The day I left in early August, temperature hit 35C in Seoul! But it was unusually warm even way back in may/june.

Soo may have rejected So not because she still loves Wook but because she didn't think she loved So enough to deserve him. He'd done so much for her and now he wants to marry her to save her again?? She can't accept this kindness...

Oh forgot what I wanted to shout all day: WOOK, YOU ARE A JERK!!!!

Hello Eclipses! It's not long now... 

[Visually-wandering]

I don't need to write down my thoughts here. Because some of chingus already speak up my mind. So I'll just share about my thought for WangSo.

2 Hours and 10 Minutes More To Go

[dramu51ch0c10ve]

About 2 more hours to go! Are you ready?

[SizzlerZ]

I really hope tonight's episode doesn't end on Wang So's return. It would leave me smiling but I'm desperate to know what happens AFTER his return the most... 

[dramu51ch0c10ve]

WangWook is a hypocritical a** when he said what he said to WangSo in the preview.Clearly,he was one of the reasons why HaeSoo is suffering now.Why put the blame solely on WangSo?And how dare he put HaeSoo down like that when he was the one who always looked towards her for happiness and wanted to make sure she only has eyes for him.

The way I see it,The sneer was meant to put WangSo off so that he will reconsider chasing HaeSoo.If successful,WangWook will be at ease knowing that the possibility for HaeSoo to remain by his side is high.However,WangSo being WangSo will not fall for his words.Once he has assessed situations and decides on something,he'll take action.Plus,with his confidence,he'll ensure he gets what he wants in the end.

...He's not afraid to go against anyone, not even the King, if it's about HaeSu.

 

WS is the man. His actions (for HS) are love. 

[Gabi Bros]

For me, Hae Soo and Wang Wook are pretty similar in these aspects:

1. Don't learn of mistakes and are always in denial.

2. Fell in love easily with illusions of each other.

3. Innocent relationship type. Both acted pretty similar in their relationship. 

4. They avoid talking about their problems with each other.

5. Empty promises that are changed the next day.

6. Indecisive and inmature.
