I finally have some free time to watch episode 12 with subs today /__\ 

And when it came to this scene 

(Gif credit to jeonghyung )

All I could think about was...

...'I've seen this back before! '
 

  Hide contents

... when Bogum refused to go shirtless in 1N2D (it would be bit easier to play the game if he did) & only showed his back like this ahahaha XD  

 

It tickled me pink that he refused to take off his shirt and I applauded his ingenuity in getting himself out of that sticky situation. (I highly suspect the staff made that game for the sole purpose of seeing him shirtless.) I think he learned his lesson after Youth Over Flowers aired him half naked after his shower and how the cast received criticism for going commando in the pool.

Bo Gum looked stunning enough fully clothed and dripping wet after diving in to save RO in an earlier episode. So determined and strong!

I would like to think Bo Gum, being the perfect gentleman that he is, would also support KYJ in nixing kissing scenes if she was uncomfortable with it since he showed such care with their first kiss scene. I don't know how much say actors have but if both of the leading actors politely refuse, perhaps they can get away with it? In any case, kudos to the PD for showing restraint thus far. Less is more sometimes.

 

@mioksf Before this drama, their popularity wasn't that high and both are playing leads for the first time. I don't think they have the clout to reject without any consequences. A female actress actually is more vulnerable to peer pressure as the majority of kdramas are male-centred and fans are predominantly female.

Just want to share Javabeans' (of Dramabeans.com) comments on Episode 12 (and I couldn't agree with her more!) --

Oh, my beloved bromances are back! And if not in full swing, then at least on the clear road to recovery, which is enough for my full heart today. How I’ve missed these boys being friends, trusting and leaning on each other, and with everything that’s gotten in the way to cause doubt and suspicions, I loved that today sort of charged in and proved things in one fell swoop. Almost like fate deciding it was done with the confusion and deciding to clear everything up in a bold, undeniable way.

I’m thrilled that Yoon-sung got a chance to do something definitive this time, because he is the character with the most information, but because of his conflicted loyalties, he’s often prevented from taking an active hand. We’ve seen his good, upstanding nature in action and he’s definitely crossed the family loyalty line before to side with Yeong, but I’ve worried that he would be the kind of person whose good nature got stifled by silence, who was never quite as bad as our more evil villains but also complicit by not rejecting them. Who might find his integrity compromised the longer he remained silent, which makes him on par with the king, and that’s a comparison nobody wants.

I’m not assuming that everything is suddenly hunky-dory now between Yoon-sung and Yeong, and there is the tricky matter of Yoon-sung knowing about Ra-on’s identity and being determined not to lose her. But there’s something so visceral about seeing somebody risk their life to save you that makes it impossible to just return to the status quo afterward. I loved Yoon-sung’s decisiveness when he grabbed that blade away from Yeong, but I loved even more the bewilderment on Yeong’s face as he witnessed it. From his look, it was clear he hadn’t believed Yoon-sung was capable of that kind of sacrifice, and it lands with more impact considering they’d just parted on tense terms. I’m excited for what this means for them now; I’m practically bouncing in my seat in anticipation for a full Three Musketeers revival. With a song and a dance and a secret handshake and everything. I’m getting ahead of myself, but what can I say, the thought makes me giddy.

And as if that weren’t enough excitement, I was doubly jazzed when the attack forced Yeong to confront his worst fears about Byung-yeon betraying him, and at the same time proved them wrong. (Yeong’s plaintive “Is that you, Byung-yeon-ie?” was a knife in the heart.) I’ll admit that I don’t love that Ra-on is often in a dangerous position and unable to defend herself—I don’t expect her to be a fighter or fearless, since that wouldn’t make sense with her character, but it just feels like she’d have died a dozen times without Young—but today, she was part of a means to get both bromances out of purgatory, and it was worth the result.

Similarly to Yoon-sung, I don’t think one fight will fix all of the doubts about Byung-yeon that have arisen through numerous suspicious acts, and he still has a lot to answer for, but it does clear up the biggest, most hurtful doubt. I’ll take that. And the relief is twofold, because on top of demonstrating for us that the friendship was real, it also reinforces the fact that the prince isn’t totally alone after all. He may not have a lot of people on his side, but when they’re as capable and kickass as these two buddies, they more than make up for the lack in numbers.

I got so excited about the boys that it almost overshadowed the poignant moments with Yeong and Ra-on, which is nuts because it was also an episode chock-full of heart-stirring exchanges between them. You know, I started thinking today that we keep expecting doom ‘n’ gloom to arrive with the royal wedding, and I know the show intends to address that (Ha-yeon’s character description identified her as the crown princes from the outset), but I’ve decided to stop dreading it as the end of all things. We’ve got three weeks left now, and our OTP is safe and intact; I don’t doubt that they’ll be slammed with opposition and angst and danger, but is that any different from what they’ve faced thus far? If the show has found a way to keep the threat alive while still feeding their relationship and allowing it to grow, I trust that it’ll continue drawing upon its small moments of affection and conviction through the end.

What really eased my mind this episode was Ra-on’s reaction in the aftermath of the prince’s attack, when you would expect a bout of guilt and noble idiocy to rear its head. It’s the anticipated response, and a familiar one, and furthermore it’s the one that’s aligned with these good-natured characters’ hearts; I couldn’t really imagine her notfeeling bad and partially responsible. But instead of withdrawing, or wallowing in self-recrimination, she asked him not to let go of her, and then I felt gratified and reassured. I’d never worried that Yeong would be the one to let go or push her away, but I’d worriedall the time that Ra-on would “for his own good,” choosing to live alone with the memory of his love. That she chose to hold onto that love was hugely reassuring; if yesterday was about making promises, today was about affirming them. Really, as long as these two kids are together, I have nothing to worry about.

Omo, what is happening to me?? If I'm not watching MDBC or actively participating in the MDBC forum, I'm listening to the MDBC OSTs! Is there a cure for this?! 

So, do y'all think that RO will reveal to CP that she is the rebel's daughter at the opening scene of episode 13? If he won't hear it from her,  I bet he's still going to find out during this episode.. Poor Lee Yeong, he's the last to know (again) considering BY and YS are already cognizant of RO's parentage.

Hwaiting, hyung! Park Bo Gum cheers up Song Joong Ki

 

How cute! This duo never fails to surprise us with their bromance. Park Bo Gum sent a food truck to Song Joong Ki's Battleship Island filming site. Park Bo Gum wanted to cheer up Song Joong Ki, and we bet Song Joong Ki was happy to see the food truck sent by his favorite dongsaeng!

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

The truck was filled with Korean street foods like dumplings, dubokki, and soondae, and healthy fruits and vegetable smoothies! The Descendants of the Sun star is currently filming Battleship Island with So Ji Sub and Hwang Jung Min.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Song Joong Ki shared at Seoul Drama Awards that he'd love to act with Park Bo Gum as brothers or rivals between a woman. (Read more about Song Joong Ki’s Seoul Drama Awards interview)

Hoping that Kwak dongyeong and Jinyoung will have their own personal Actor' thread soon.

Love thr insights by jilia and after your explanation the song indeed seems v apt. Totally no knowledge of korean language so can only understand the english words of "love is over". 

Work has been awfully busy so no time to come in to post. This forum is amazing, moving at lightning speed. I like the last two episodes just aired and the progress is fast! With only 6 more episofes, i think i worry more about how to fill my post mdbc void. Probably i will  marathon and rewatch.

[Earth2KatyD]

@Jillia I wasn't aware of the song's entire lyrics. All I know is its doleful chorus (and song title) "Love Is Over" , so thank you for shedding some light on this.  The song is indeed fitting to what RO must have felt when she met LY, especially after learning about her biological father.

The magnetism of this thread is too strong that I have been supporting the Moonlighters the whole day by clicking my itchy fingers on the "LIKE" button plus the real disappointment was in myself(like CP, when he was angry with RO, he was actually angrier with himself...haha) for being trolled so badly by the pictures released before the episode.... "I should have known better" kept ringing in my ears...when I watched the live streaming last night. ....LOL at myself....... I still think the bun concept identified by some creative moonlighters here was so cool if they have adopted that in Ep 12.....no real skinship but allow Ra On to resume her beauty as a woman and figuratively as Lee Yeong's woman when the two are privately together.... I do not think the moonlighters are hard-core byuntae club who are eagerly waiting for senseless skinship scenes but .we are the cultured literature type of byuntae club who appreciates an artistic way of conveying love. That is why YS is doing such a great job and our hearts are all melted by him.....HE WAS MY MAN FROM DAY ONE, the eyes that penetrate the soul and the charming smile that kills and melts at the same time!... In short...we are DIE-HARD ROMANTICS!!! LOL But like I say before I ban myself from posting that I do appreciate the alternative offered in Ep 12 such as the rain...the carrying of RO, the backhug, the caressing off hands with heads lying on the table and all the love-filled stares they have for each other.

@Bambiina...you lived up to your name as the President, love your post in expressing the sentiments so crystal-clear.

@pyoyong  As usual, your sense of humour in your post is absolutely hilarious....don't think anyone can read without breaking into aches of laughter......dead cupids and drinking in heaven bar....really take my hat off your creative thinking... I felt that I was shot dead for a while but I resurrected so no heavens for me yet.... LOL I still want to talk about Yoon Sung, my hero!

 

Dear Friend,

Today, you've make me as one of the world happiest forum citizens. Somewhere in the paragraph you've include me as Die-Hard Romantics people. You know, when I read that, ahhhh you get me girl, you get me! That my sense of humor in every post I made (well almost) is a way for me to express my highest compliments for this drama. I'm glad that somewhere in different part of the world you appreciate this lunatic brain of mine. And that there is no greater joy of me that I can bring you a long in this ship full of laughter while we are crazy in love with this wonderful drama. Because to me, when you love and laugh abundantly you live a beautiful life. Big Hug !

A word of appreciation again  for the casting director  .. for casting:

Kim Yeo Jin (same initials as her "daughter") in the role of Ra On's mother - in the course of her long career, she's won a few awards (as best supporting actress) for her movie roles. I love her smile. Impressive acting so far, especially in the reunion scene.

Trivia (which @Jillia might be interested in  )  Kim Yeo Jin was educated at  Ewha Women's University University (German Language and Literature)

http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Kim_Yeo_Jin

 

Jang Gwang - important role of Eunuch Han.  He used to be a voice actor and dubber until 2011 ...

http://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/jsp/films/index/peopleView.jsp?peopleCd=10060043

"JANG Gwang was a successful voice actor and dubber for decades until he suddenly found himself in front of the camera for none other than the highly successful and controversial Silenced ..."  So glad he decided to turn to acting ... 

Trivia: In  the drama "Memory"  Jang Gwang's character is named Park Chul Min

 

Park Chul Min -  He may play a villain (Kim Eui-gyo) but he makes me laugh, somehow.  I can't remember, has he twirled his moustache yet? Good character actor.

@pyoyong you and @Bambiina (I think of you as a comedy duo) are two of the funniest posters in this thread - thank you for all the hilarious posts (as well as for the rare serious ones). Going to IM you, if you don't mind.

It was a tad careless of you to leave the bloodstained bandages lying around to be found by CP who is beginning to doubt your identity.

I have decided to send this lovely korean chest to you so that you may hide all your little secrets.

Cr : koreanarts

At the rate you are going, your undercover agent identity may soon be discovered and that is going to create a rift between CP and you, something I do not wish to see happen as you both complement each other so well for your bromance.

I am not sure how long it will take for the chest to reach joseon seoul but I did ask Fedex to send as priority.
