@onlysb1 what did the PD say about YJ during the press conf?

 

That she was chosen bec she is pretty. I mean when you look at it now they are both so irreplaceable, we think they were paired with  much more thought but turns out it was just luck lol  

In my humble opinion, yes Yoo Jung  is very pretty  and looks compatible with Bo Gum but that's just not enough to create chemistry and her to become  Ra On vitamin  I mean apart from Love Cells, Yoo Jung had much more serious and mature aura especially in sageuks it requires skills and passion to turn that around. As for chemistry they are selling it with eye contact, staring contests. Meaning deep and expressive eyes  so enough told ^^

After reading all the responses of everyone of the love for the 2 mutual lovebirds...and 2 forlorn lovebirds..and the controversial views,  I cannot help but say that the characters are depicted realistically for both BY and YS in their reactions to their respective love...and also the responses of RO and CP to them.  There is a lot of literature value in understanding YS and HY because they are the same, yet different.

What and why are they the same?

They are the same in background.  

Both are born with silver, some say, diamond spoon.  

Both are well-educated and intelligent people.  

Both are confident people who would express their thoughts

Both have high esteem to make choices when it comes to love 

Their attitude towards love is stoic, even knowing they are not the love interest of their love, they continue to be hopeful and engage.

They are both new to love, first love

They are both willing to make sacrifices for their love, albeit YS is more unconditional in his action but HY is not truly unconditional.

What and why are they different?

YS has travelled more widely than HY, he has seen more women than HY seen men, his mind is more open to variations.  HY lived in an enclosed and sheltered environment.

YS has to deal with more conflicts in his heart because his love is in love with his good friend, CP whereas HY does not know she is contending with, so her confidence is telling her that she can always try and follow her heart and ideals (also RO has advised her that her sincerity would help her)

YS is a friend with RO so on the pretext of being friends, he can also get close to RO but HY is not even a friend with CP so her anxiety to get through to him will be heighten and she faces more resistance than YS because friendship does not exist between her and CP.

YS can understand his rejection by RO is because he is late in knowing her and he already knew how deep their love was...so esteem-wise it is easier for him to swallow and accept his lateness.  HY cannot understand the rejection by CP because she has very little clue of when and how CP got to know his love and she also cannot imagine the depth of their love...so esteem-wise, she would be wondering...with who I am..I can impress him if given time?   One important factor that she is clueless about is CP's love is by his side daily.   If she knows this, she will know that is a tough factor to compete with.  In her mind, she is still idealistic...as long as no one is married yet, the chance remains open.....she does not know her probability of success whereas YS knows.

Their personality is also different because of their growing experiences.  YS is more street-wise...HY is idealistic.  YS has much higher EQ than HY.

YS has many opportunities to show that he can help and save RO.  HY has not much opportunities.  Her closest was using her Clan to support CP's political ambition and it was offered in the form of a marriage transaction....blatant compared to YS' saving damsel in distress examples.

For YS, because of the vast social background difference of RO and him and CP, in a way, I think YS is happy that such social background barrier is broken down by the gret love of CP.  It helps YS to endorse that his love is for RO is not wrong.    HY has nothing like this to mull over, she thinks she is just contending with another girl of her social status.

So in conclusion,  YS is confident and knows more information so his response seems more reasonable plus his personality of loyalty to friends help him.  HY is confident but quite clueness about everything...  she only has a target but insufficient information to help her understand how to move along.  In essence, the story is a good lesson for us to see how a person is moulded and shaped affects the attitude towards love.

Now to

Response of RO to YS

When a guy courts a girl, it seems the normal course of action during that era.  The girl only needs to respond.  So RO would not be overly surprised if she realises he is indeed serious.

Up to a long time, RO sees YS' behaviour as someone frivolous.   She never takes him seriously (even in the novel) 

She treats YS like a male buddy that she is comfortable with because she has been living like a boy for a long time..so she even teases him about gisaeng house visits.

Once she has given her heart to CP, all the more she can only see YS as a friend who is always like "a friend in need is a friend indeed" to her.

She does not dislike him, neither is she annoyed with him because he always knows to do the thing that she really wants... Like buying her a hanbok is what she wants though not wear it to please him.   He moves in nicely on her, never infringe on her discomfort zones or inner circle.

YS saves RO all the time.....so even without love, RO feels grateful to him.   YS knows how to make himself useful.

Lastly, RO is from a humble background, she will hesitate to link herself with any of these guys in her wildest imagination as during that period, matching in love is also matching in background.   So she would never think she can match to YS but CP really surprised her until she was swept off her feet.

Response of CP to HY

CP in the drama is already depicted a more personable person.  In the novel, CP has no eyes and memories for women at all.  RO was the only one he could see and remember. So not sure if HY is not aware that the CP has such a special trait.

CP has caught HY lying to fabricate destiny meet-ups...so I think that left a not-so-good impression of her.... In that era, girl chase boy is uncommon and boy usually likes to be the hunter.   RO also told small lies and we could tell CP was not impressed too but over time CP realised that coming from a different social background, that was her survival instinct otherwise she would have perished long ago in the tough environment.

CP has seen enough such learned girls living in the palace, so HY does not come across as outstanding....but street-wise RO does.

CP response, even if harsh, to HY is not unique, it would happen to any girl.

Being groomed into a King, feeling of territorial is natural.....so not wanting HY to go close to his areas of his territory is actually very normal.  She is not in his inner circle..so it is clear she should not trespass.   Even with the marriage proposal, it was only a business transaction.

In fact, I admire CP for being clear-minded..  he does not soften his attitude simply because HY is a girl and he has to be more galant.  For matters of the heart, sometimes it is better to be cruel to be kind.

 

(sorry to put your post under spoiler )

@lovehbhjw2013  thanks for sharing ur point of view .... that's daebak 

@nonski agree with your opinion , thanks for sharing with us 

Both of you are jjang !!! 

[Guest]

 In this our special place all I feel, all I see, are the memories of you & me...

    

There are so many beautiful moments including the ones that showed deep emotions and felt so very real.  It's often hard to pick out what meant the most when it's as packed as these episodes have been.  I'm just thankful to be surrounded by so many talented people here whose hearts come right through their words & posts and allow us to see their passions...

I felt sorry for a lot of characters those who are in love like HY & YS who have a one sided love that's going no where.  They have hopes that somehow they can change the CP's & RO's hearts but I think the ending of this episode pretty much put that to rest. Well actually neither CP or RO's heart has ever wavered since the beginning which is one of the reasons they move me so much their endurance.  The fact that even when they are apart they still see each other.  It's like their hearts press play and a memory is brought to mind and just for a few seconds they are not alone inside...

  I felt sorry for RO's Mom her story about RO's Dad somehow made me sad. She seems to have been lonely & longing for her husband her whole life.   Her working on that needle point flower and the words " I miss you, even in my dreams "

I  think the reason the CP got so upset about HY being in the garden was not only his disappointment that she wasn't RO but that she had entered the love zone a special place that everywhere he looked RO's face, laughter, smile lingered and he could even feel her there.  He is tired and lonely and upset that he is being forced to marry when his heart already belongs too another.  He must also feel so guilty every time he sees HY he keeps at a distance and may seem harsh but he doesn't want to mislead her or her heart he already knows how she feels.   HY is fighting for his attention and love and he is fighting and protecting his own... RO...

RO hearing about HY being picked as princess & wife to CP was done.  This part is so real, dang you could feel it in her, you could see it in her eyes she was broken and her Mother knew it.  No matter how much you prepare yourself for something you know you can't change.  When the time comes all those days of knowing & pain and even regret for the things you didn't say or do.  Surface and just like RO said " My heart is aching so much "  Watching both of them alone crying missing each other so much it's hard for either of them to function and they both look empty and lifeless as well...

The sweetest moments for me were CP calling out RO's name not sure why but it moved me more this time maybe I too could feel his longing.  Later no matter what I think or even feel I cannot put into words all of what the ending meant to me.  Except to say he carried my heart with him as he walked across that floor.  When he wrapped up RO so tightly within his arms you could almost feel his whole body just like two magnets so drawn to every part of her.  You could see that he and his heart were waiting for RO to enclose him within herself as well.  It's as if he could breathe now even smile when he felt her grab a hold of him.

  It's all he needed to know that her heart belonged to him and just like his heart no matter what it can't let go...

And I am back after watching Ep 13 and 14 [my leaking eyes as I type this]

What amazes me is that even though I watched it raw and then with subs, I still cry knowing what is coming!

Some thoughts:

Ep 13 was definitely KYJ/Ra On's episode. We know right from the start that she was doing all the farewell stuff that she can do for the CP. Her scene with her mom? Cue leaking eyes from me. 

Then the back hug and Lee Juck's song about interlocked fingers just as she locked her arms and fingers around CP's waist. 

 

The fact that the CP is happily enjoying all the attention and Ra On is muted in her pain [cue leaking eyes]

I felt pity for HY in this Ep as she is told baldly to her face that he (CP) will not give her his heart. You can see that was a brutal blow (through her expression - how did all these Korean actors excel in micro expressions? Because of this , I cannot miss a scene and must watch each characters' interaction with each other)

And the parallel drawn between this scene with CP/HY and YS/RO - one where the CP expects RO to stay and therefore he cannot love HY and the other scene where YS is telling RO to leave the palace and she agrees. You could see that it was unexpected for YS to hear that RO would leave voluntarily and being the smart person that he is , must have realised that RO knows the truth.. 

My favourite scene in this episode: especially this part.

Sidenote: I can believe that PBG would be nervous acting alongside all the veterans in sageuk especially Chun Ho Jin who plays PM Kim. He is quite intimidating (character and experience wise). So it is easy to imagine that he would need time to get into character. The switch from the fun loving, frivolous prince who then became the regent in his father's stead. 

EP 14 write up soon....

[breezelife]

Hello, everyone! My first post here at Soompi. Decided to delurk to join the party and rave about the drama with you all. There is such a positive vibe here that draws me back to the forums from time to time. 

Regarding the earlier interview with PD posted today about Kim Yoo Jung, I would like to share more as the English article did not do the Korean article justice; or Yoo Jung justice.  

Original article :http://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=001&aid=0008728261　

English article: http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/interview/2016/10/05/15/0800000000AEN20161005005500315F.html

Chinese translation on parts of Korean article related to KYJ:  http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4809480232  ( Cr: 百度金裕贞吧 )

Yoo Jung's Baidu forum has posted a full Chinese translation of the Korean article. I will try to translate some parts in English roughly based on their translation. All credit goes to her Baidu fan forum.

My sincere apologies in advance for any errors as I am no professional...

The PD praised Yoo Jung very specifically multiple times in his interview. 

From this interview, you will understand why all main cast members said Yoo Jung was the PD's favourite on set; how she manages to change the mood on set immediately with her presence/performance.

I used to thought that the comment was made out of civility or respect to her years of experience in acting. But after reading this article, I realized that this girl deserves it; truly.

Disclaimer here: I LOVE and CHEER FOR PBG. This is not meant to undermine anyone's success or contribution in the drama. I just want to do KYJ justice because this girl is absolutely amazing and she deserves to be recognized as a professional actress on her own; not just PGB's pretty partner in his first sageuk.

Selected parts of translation below:

If the Producer had worries regarding the casting of Park Bo Gum as the male lead, one could imagine his concern over the casting of Kim Yoo Jung. Not to mention, Kim Yoo Jung is only 17 of age, which meant they needed to give up all emotional or love scenes in the original novel that might create controversies. In spite of all the challenges, her experience accumulated through years of acting as a child actress prevailed. No one could have portrayed the girl-in-disguise, Ra On more adorably than Kim Yoo Jung in "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds". Kim PD praised, "Yoo Jung has truly exceeded all expectations. I have no idea she could perform so well."

[Parts on casting requirements of Ra On and the visual compatibility with PBG were edited out as the English article has already mentioned the key points]

Having selected an actress in her late 10s to be the female lead, they had to let go of some of the romantic scenes in the original novel. They even had to tread carefully when it comes to kiss scenes.  Kim PD said, "Even without those scenes, PBG and KYJ had no trouble expressing their passionate love for each other." He is very satisfied of the end result. 

"For our drama, compared to the role of Crown Prince, the role of Hong Ra On is more three-dimensional. What I mean is that, if the female lead can't pull it off, the story will be ruined." He then added, "But Yoojungie can express the essence of Hong Ra On's deep heart line very well." But Yoo Jung portrayed the progression of her relationship with the Crown Prince very well as she developed deeper feelings in stages. The scene in which Hong Ra On was imprisoned, when she maintained a calm and serene demeanor during her meeting with the Crown Prince, she performed especially well. In the scene where they gaze into each other's eyes, she acted with her eyes and conveyed the emotions very well. After that, Bo Gum and Yoo Jung worked with each other seamlessly in the romantic scenes. I even told Yoo Jung, "You are still young, but you did very well"

[He also addressed netizens' concerns on why they stand behind their decision to reveal Ra On's identity as a woman earlier than traditional girl-in-disguise dramas usually do.

Also addressed why Yoo Jung's women costumes looked underwhelming (translator's note: I think he is referring to the dress she wears to meet the prince or the lack of scenes of Ra On in women clothes in general) when compared to the male lead - turns out the main reason is they were so pressed for time in filming/producing that they did not have enough time to select the attires, as the selection for good/appropriate women costumes for sageuks are more complicated.). 

*****************************************************

Hope you enjoyed reading this! And again, if I mistranslated anything, would our Korean speakers please do correct me anytime!! 

Edit: Hey, guys, please refer to the translations posted by  @MaknaeC for more important tidbits of the article. I have edited parts above based on her comments. 

This is because my translation above is a loose translation of a Chinese translation from a fan forum. MaknaeC could actually read Korean so her version is likely even more faithful to the original article. Huge thanks to MaknaeC again.

Just finished episode 14, and now I'm sad for RaOn and Yun Seong...Well, I'm sad for Yun Seong the most in this episode. He tried to cheer RaOn up with all his might although he knows she would never give her heart to him. He genuinely would not asking for anything from her except for her heart, but under the condition RaOn herself made the decision to give it to her...seriously, watching Yun Seong scrunched up his eyebrows and the hurt in his eyes when RaOn told him that she wanted to ask him about CP everytime she sees Yun Seong is just heart breaking. Oooh...Yun Seong... Well, to be fair, Ha Yeon is in similar position, but what makes Yun Seong more pitiful is that Yun Seong's feeling to RaOn is truly unconditional ...whereas Ha Yeon's has some force; political intention in the marriage.

Not gonna lie though, I feel sorry for Ha Yeon too when CP brushed her off roughly when she greets him, but I'm glad to see Ha Yeon still has her spunk and told CP what he needs to hear, even though now we see less of bright and brave Ha Yeon. I kinda miss her old self, ahhaa...now that she's going to marry CP, I'm pretty excited to see how she would support him, while suppressing her feelings all in the same time. I'm sincerely hoping she wouldn't become an obnoxious character because of this though.

I'm glad that we still see Princess Myung Eun and Scholar Duk~ the Princess is so cute, she really is like a maiden in love for the first time; waiting for Scholar Duk to pass and then try to make it as a coincidence, hehehehe...I'm also glad to see Scholar Duk seems to have gained confidence when he got a confirmation that the Princess likes him too. Scholar Duk, Princess Myung Eun, we're rooting for you!!

The politics and rebellion seems to come to its peak, and although it's very sweet of CP of "not forgiving" RaOn because she didn't choose him when conflicts arise, I'm anxious for our OTP...pleaaaase writer-nim, don't let them get caught, pleaaaaase...and also, please punish Evil Queen Mother properly for trading her daughter for a son so she can get the highest power if the 'son' becomes king!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Yeong was a bit of a jerk to HY in the last episode! I understand the love of your life left you and you felt betrayed but geez, direct your anger somewhere else. Unlike YS, HY was kept in the dark, she has no idea who her competition is, she doesn't understand why Yeong is walking around like a zombie, so it's a bit rude of Yeong to snap at her when all she tries to do is to show she cares about his well-being. I know we all are on team RO and see HY as the third wheel but really, how is she any different from YS?  

 

How did Yeong treat HY like dirt? He simply didn't notice her when he walked past, he's the crown prince for goodness sake.  Why was HY offended or hurt when he simply didn't notice her? 

And when did he snap at HY?  He was just being clear in reminding her that she shouldnt have any personal concern with him.  He told her so for her own sake. It's just a cold business transaction as proposed by HY herself.  If he knew HY can't draw a clear line (if I put it crudely, HY actually LIED/ TRICK him into agreeing) I think he won't agree to the transaction.  

i believe, even if RO doesn't exist, Yeong would treat HY the same way.  Because he wouldn't want to mislead HY.  

Finally, I still don't understand the need to compare HY and YS.

[febz]

Keep holding my hand for not doing this, not doing this.. but it can't be helped I need to throw it up

 

The reason why I feel sympathy only for YS CHARACTER not HY CHARACTER on ep 14, I will simplified as this

 

This girl here is being sad FOR HERSELF because the man she love shoo her blatantly (Way the go my rice pack!! you only have to give your charm to the one you love only which is RO & if faking your smile, attitude, accept sweetly that noble lady with powerful family background just for securing your position but meanwhile there's only RO in your heart define you as a GENTLEMAN. You don't have to become that kind of GENTLEMAN)

 

 

This man here being sad because of the woman he love has been broken heart. So he's broken inside because of OTHER PERSON

 

You may agree & you may not agree with me. It doesn't matter as long as we still love this drama. But if it still needed to blame someone. Blame it to the PD-nim & screenwritter who change HY character in drama more emotionally than her character in novel. I dunno perhaps as a bridge for her character development being cold hearted?

 

What matter to me is people connect it with gender issue. I as female feel symphaty for YS because he's a male. Eeh okay it's a little bit difficult for me . So just because I'm a female it's mean I only analyze a character with my eye & sexual attraction but being brainless??Hmm well I do admit I have a little bit byeontae side....okay okay plenty of it  But if that's the case why Im Joo Hwan that I like in reality but dislike his character in UF & otherwise Won Bin who I dislike in reality (at that time) but always become my biggest crush second lead syndrome in AIMH?? I should just love them both blindly because they both are surely hot

 

Well anyway because no brains needed here as a female viewer then I will only feel symphaty for YS not HY (sawry don't have sexual attraction for her)

[iheartyoojung]

Cr : csbfan insta

It must tough taking a role which is disliked by quite a number of MDBC fans but HY looks like a high spirited person off screen, it is good to see that she seems unaffected by the reaction her character has invoked in the way the character is written through no fault of hers, maybe we should ask the writer what was her intention for HY, why did she write her character in this manner, could not find any interview info on how she wrote some of the supporting cast unlike her interview fwhere she spoke about CP, Raon. YS.

I'm glad that you brought our attention back to Princess Myung Eun and Scholar Duk! They are the only element of lightheartedness in recent episodes so far. I cannot help but smile very widely whenever I see them on screen!  

Gosh, the Queen did not even want to take one look at her own daughter who is of her own flesh and blood. Somehow, I don't really want to call her evil any more - she seems pitiful somehow in her crazed ambition and obsession with power, as she lies there, staring blankly at the ceiling and rejecting her maid's query if she wishes to lay her eyes on her daughter.

Thank you for this post!!

I read another translation of the PBG-centred parts in this article in PBG's personal thread and couldn't help feeling disappointed when they stated that about 80% of MDBC's success was due to PBG alone. I acknowledge that PBG is an amazing actor but I am glad that the PD had ample praise for KYJ as well. I am a huge fan of both of them but I do have a soft spot for female leads whose superb acting are sometimes overlooked by the audience due to the attractive portrayal of the male leads (like SHK in DOTS) haha!!

[NRGchick]

Ep 14 - thought I was out of tears - nope, I was wrong [more tears - where did all this liquid come from!!??}]

This time it is due mainly to the CP - the pain, the uncertainty - that slight doubt about Ra On and her intentions - all hit me in the gut. 

Besides the fact that we see the return of the cold prince, I understood why he was cold to HY - basically to almost everyone. 

That plea to YS and realising that he (CP) would not be told anything at all about RO. I thought about what Ra On said later on to YS about how she wants to ask YS all about the prince whenever she sees him so she tells YS to stay away. {more on this scene later}

My favourite scene was this scene:

Wherever you are , whoever you are - our feelings are as constant as the moon.....*dreamy sigh* Who knew our 'lack of experience with women' prince would have swoonworthy lines. 

The other big scene for me was the scene where it showed me that HY and YS will give up their pursuit. 

For HY in the flower garden and YS by the lake. 

To be told not to step foot into his precious garden [NEVER] and for YS to be told by Ra On to stay away because it was too painful to see him. That's when that futile love crumbled. YS seems to have conceded through his words that he will be unable to win her love, HY may not have said anything but from her expression she knew she would never win his love. 

Ra On crying desperately by the lake because her heart was in pain and then the CP in his chambers crying because he did not want to give up on the love he shared with Ra On. I never believed he would take off the bracelet and I was breathed a sigh of relief to see it on his arm as he hugged her [I pumped my fist in the air when I saw the bracelet] You don't know how happy I was to see that accessory on his wrist - who cares if it is product placement LOL. 

And trivial me thought - wow, the hanbok he was wearing matched the bracelet! 

That ending calmed my teary eyes and finally they stopped leaking. 

Not sure if I need to rehydrate myself for the final four episodes,
