I'm surprised nobody commented on this, so I have to delurk. I think these pictures tell a compelling story (although they are out of order here). It looks like he expected to sneak back into Korea the way he sneaked out, so he didn't shave and wore an outfit that hid him almost, *almost* completely. He was surprised when he spotted the camera and tried to hide his unshaven face. He must have ducked into some place where he could have one of his staff get him a razor because there are suddenly pictures of him clean shaven and pushing back the hoodie to reveal his face smiling like typical for an airport arrival. Poor guy must have been exhausted from the long flight, but he would never disappoint the fans who came out to greet him. That's my take on the pictures I've seen from that day in that outfit.

Thanks for the explanations

Actually I think I'm the only here that like this outfit very much. Even if is sure an extra large jacket, I like this outfit because it reminds me military clothing, and I think he's very cool with amphibious boots and casual dress

 All of u notice the numbers.   I didn't at first understand why this watch keeps coming up until I read the comments by some fans.

The brand should get him to endorse  @pixelsticks mentioned, provided its a worthy and reliable brand. Not familiar with the brand though. Ok for the sidetrack, let's get back to drooling at our actor.

 

This watch has just became a collectible for JG's Fans.

Minus 417 is a pretty high end mineral rich skin care product in Europe(founder from Israel) but the history is a little too short for luxury skin care company. 

In the past I already saw a few fans using it, because it is -417... (the few significant number for all JG's angels). At first I thought, wow this fans are so hardcore even made those customized container for their skincare. But there are just too many of them, that is how I came to know of this brand... I believe this brand is trying to entry the JP market, that why they are giving this watch as a GWP. 

Like what  you and @pixelsticks mentioned, if JG ever endorse this brand, I may really consider trying it out... since the usual brand with dead sea minerals is so hard to get in my country.

Of course,it is uniquely jg's watch and a must wear item for his future event. The clock face is especially unique as it only has digits 1,4 &7 on it.This is a not for sale design item that comes with the mag.I hv grabbed several,going to wear daily too.I expect many fans esp jp fans to give him for collection

JP Fan really very hardcore kudos to them.  There are still many pass issues available in the bookstore but this Nov issue is sold out! Lucky I got mine... ㅋㅋㅋ and I will wear it for future event.

I am very thankful to the individual that had pre-empt and help me in getting this watch.

JP fans will surely give him a few of this watches, they knows that he like to collect such item, that has significant insignia to him... Lucky them to have such an opportunity plus he going to Okinawa soon...  Envious...

@glassnokamenI hope you get your hand on one soon!

Came to think about it this watch is like him, exhibit a certain elegant. 

@bluelilac1214, @haniiiii and @pixelsticksI really hope for him to wear a little lesser too since it is only autumn... but most of his airport fashion are either sponsored or fan's gifts...

Speaking of the rumors of Wang So...it would be interesting to know who started and perpetuated them!  Was it innocent, uninformed peasants and villagers or JiMong & the King or even the Kangs spreading the rumors to instill fear/disdain/respect onto this mysterious prince/prisoner.

Hmm interesting. I think it was more the people who were around him all the time. We know that the wolf killing really happened. He was put there and basically left to die yet he survived. Now I imagine it happened like this:

1 soldier who was there: Oh s*** he lives! Oh s*** he killed all those wolves!!!

When they came back he said that i.e. to someone who was expecting the news. The Kang clan was rich, I imagine, so they have servants who heard only that Wang So killed pack of wolves. So they spread the news among themselves that Wang So killed wolves. The gossip continues behind the Kangs's house:

- He killed wolves?

- Why?

- No idea, maybe he likes to kill animals?

- Does that mean he likes to kill humans too?

- Probably!

Etc. etc. etc. Before dawn everyone in the nearest village speaks about Wang So killing wolves for fun.

Maybe that's why I quote so much and you have to stand it.

I wonder how long we will have to wait until we hear any casting news/photoshoot news/etc from LJG. 

We were spoiled last year with all the fan meets, Lotte Drama, movies, new website reveal, MEC etc.   

He can spoil me again anytime he wants. 

On 16.10.2017 at 9:19 PM, bluelilac1214 said:

Wook says he brought HS to that place and that he will help her until the very end. Isn’t this something that Myung Hee should be saying?

He brought her to his home so she could be with his wife and help her. Also he'll help her 'cause after "the accident" she has no memories etc. She feels lost, had that moment when she hid herself in a room and only Wook persuaded her to come out. I doubt he had any dirty plans to Hae Soo before "the accident". 

On 16.10.2017 at 9:19 PM, bluelilac1214 said:

And after some talk he invades her personal space, then they zoooom into his face!

Yes but he invaded her personal space now not before and that's typical romantic behaviour in kdrama.

Remember Hae Soo at first was in love with Wook - can't blame her. Wook was gentle with her, Wang So... didn't behave so well. It's amazing that she still saw him as human being. As if she could look behind his mask and I'm not talking about the mask he wore on his face.

On 16.10.2017 at 9:19 PM, bluelilac1214 said:

There’s no doubt that Wang So will find his Soo again. He always keeps his promises!

Exactly!

On 16.10.2017 at 9:19 PM, bluelilac1214 said:

I might have repeated some scenes already in the 5 episodes I’ve seen, you know, to understand the drama better. 

Of course. You have to do this - the drama can be sometimes soooo complicated. You must make sure you understand everything.

On 16.10.2017 at 9:19 PM, bluelilac1214 said:

about Wang So saving HS and the rumours about him - I think he would have saved anyone if they were in the same situation as HS, because despite his "cold-hearted assassin" reputation, he is actually a softie who loves his family. I'm not saying he loves everyone, but from what I understood he is definitely not someone who does not value "innocent" human lives. He knows how hard it is to live, to survive - he knows the value of life. The rumours about him would have started because of how he survived every attempt on his life (eg. wolves), maybe from Kangs to their servants to those servants' families etc. Although the rumours were started by others, maybe Wang So wouldn't have minded them spreading that much, since the fear in people's mind is also a sort of protection for him. I don't know whether I make any sense... 

You made a lot of sense. I agree with everything you said. Even if there's a scene he puts his sword against Hae Soo - I think he doesn't hurt people who didn't do anything to him but he's more... hmm... agressive with palace people. Can't blame him - in the palace almost everyone threat him really badly and he has no conflict with normal people. He knows they hate him but he doesn't know them. He may look scary to them but he doesn't do anything against them.

 Let me help you to remember that scene   

Ohhhh I thank you for that too. I... I don't know if I rememered it that good. 

Btw I love something I called "advanced Joseon practice of medicine" - have you noticed how many times saving someone meant hugging that person? I'm sure I'll be healed from any disease if competent Joseon vampire doctor *cough* practice that medicine with me.

I just FINALLY finished DOTS/Descendants after trying 2 times…and I’m all….WTF?  That storyline??? Earthquakes and Arms Dealers and Special Ops and Human Trafficking and viruses and volcanoes? <<<albeit acting and character relationships were not bad>>>

Actually I wrote it many times before - I liked DOTS and it's surprisingly good considering this writer has Heirs on her conscience. It was nice this time she didn't put any jerk as romantic hero, also second lead was a cool man. 

Oh well I'm not gonna make you change your opinion. Just saying.

Wook keeps on saying that he is not close with HS, hmmm. 

May I? It is true - he's close to his wife. He's interested in Hae Soo and I'm not sure if in a really romantic way at the beginning but they barely know each other. I doubt if in Goryeo a man took the trouble to really know a woman. They're not close yet.

On 18.10.2017 at 9:48 PM, bluelilac1214 said:

Okay, random observation – why is Chae Ryung wearing pants unlike the other servants who wear skirts?

Taejo worries only about Moo when his other son was kneeling in front of him bleeding. WS has the worst parents ever!

It's painful that no one cared if something happened to him. Or I don't remember that.

the super sweet son played by Ji Soo. Actually in this precise moment I started to hate his character and his smiles towards his "perfect" mother.  Just grow up already, boy! haha

It was cool that the drama showed the 14th prince actually grown up because of Wang So. I remember that Wang So said to him something like "how long are you going to hide behind her skirt?". Wang So's life was so hard it made him grown up early. 14th prince may like to fight but I was sure he spent his life on a pillow.

On 19.10.2017 at 12:29 AM, haniiiii said:

Wang So's scars don't matter, perfect shot, thanks mr camera guy ^^

His scars make him even more attractive. I have a thing for warriors and no warrior has untouched skin.

Awwww...thank you  and BTW.  I did enjoy DOTS...just the storyline was so farcical.  <<<but that was also probably influenced by my Personal Wang So, who was in the same room when I was watching it...(He was reading) and he kept going ...what disaster is befalling them now? He cannot and does not understand my consumption of KDramas.>>> I WON'T let him watch MLSHR with me...because he would completely DESTROY it for me. And that CANNOT be!

Good point!  But when he does it...he pauses...gives her time to react to him and then says "you've changed." I felt as if it was almost like he was waiting for her to react the way she would have reacted if she was the old Hae Soo.  And I inferred his utterances of "it does not matter to me" "we were never close" was his way of intellectualizing and making "new" ground rules for their behavior together...and to further test her (whether or not she truly lost her memories/was someone else and not playing him).  It would have been fun to have a brief glimpse of this old Hae Soo. For comparison purposes.  

 

<<<i'd put that all ^^^in a spoiler, but I am afraid you couldn't read it due to your comments up above>>>

 

Now back to JG!

 

playing around with gifs

[glassnokamen]

Here I am with ep 2 review  

Like for episode 1, even in this case will be more observation that comes from my first vision of the drama, with the addition of some fangirling comment 

 

Okay ... the first episode was over with Wang So picking up Hae Soo before he falls ruinous in the river ... and the second opens with the two who look intensely for a long moment ... and that's where I thought: "Gosh ... the hard, ruthless assassin that everyone is afraid of, fell in love at the first sight with the little girl in danger ... strange!     "
But not even one second after that, comes the shotgun: she threw her off the horse without too many ceremonies ... fantastic !!!! I have
really made a pretty laugh and I've told myself "ohhhhhh at least something different than usual !!!!"

No... just because if someone is considered to be a little richard simmons ... he must be in some way, doesn't he ??   

 

The meeting with the brothers: the only ones who treat SO as a human being and brother are Wook (which at least at first appears to be on his side and want to understand him) and Baek Ha (who will remain until the end the only brother Wang So will be able to
trust and the one who love). I do not consider the princess  because I think she is interested in So just because she thinks she is in love with him  and thinks that he could come back useful in the future, not because she really care about him.
Great scene where So puts back in place Yo: mythical !!! Man of a few words, but precise and pungent.   
Hilarious, though with a thread of sadness because it still makes it clear from the start what treatment is reserved to
servants who were against the principles, the scene of the struggle between Hae Soo and Eun ... with our So ready to intervene in
the most opportune moment ... and with Hae Soo who runs with the tail between his legs after the threat of So to kill her if he will give her his excuses    

Not so hilarious the meeting of So with the "mother": already from here you can see that in the bottom he's only a 17 year old guy who has only desire to have the love and approval of the mother from whom she has been separated where he was a small one. JG's skill lies in this: in that momenti, with just half the face uncovered, he shows how So is lonely and young, and how much he was hurt by her mother's continuous malicious jokes.
While to those of his "brother" Yo he answer to rhyme, when is his mother who turns to him in cruel words, he does not know how to answer ... it's almost alienated   

... and what about the bathroom scene, apart from the obvious view of JG naked torso ... (... at that time I didn't know it was a fleeting and very rare vision of the now famous elusive torso and I re-turned my eyes to the scene   )? With just one little sigh he shows us all his fragility and the pain he felt in being rejected by his "mother" again and derided by his brother.
In the same time, in his only visible eye we can see all the despair and the fear in thinking that Hae Soo maybe saw his face without the
mask, that she has seen his horrible scar. (... by the way ... how he's able to shows like he's 17 years in that scene??? He really looks like a teenager !!!). It takes a micro second to recover and to return to being the cool killer that everyone knows and passes on threats (I confess ... that's where I started to feel admiration for JG recitative capacity. I mean ... but I had not fallen in the tunnel to the fullest, although it was missing only a little at that time even if I didn't know).

 

Ritual scene: so beautiful, though every time I see it I always wonder: who are the other man that are dress in red? In all the practice we can see the 6 principles (So, Wook, Wo, Baek Ha, Eun and Yung) + Yo and the Crown Prince,

Spoiler

while during the ritual the people dressed in red are 9

Spoiler

... who are the other 3, who then disappear mysteriously at the time of the attack? 
Apart from this, no words for the coldness of King Taejo in regards to the wounded son: ok, you are concerned about the safety of the Crown Prince, but what the hack! It's your son anyway, and he's hurt! And So ??? Another ugly shot for him: after his mother, he is also rejected and ignored by his father. And he decide to do the only thing that is sure to know how to do well: catch the assassin's for try to earn the respect and approval of the father.

 

And here, here's another scene that dropped me even further in the JG tunnel, this time yes, ok, for the look, but above all
for the voice: 싫은데 (silh-eunde / shireunde) ... I don't want to ....... farewell cruel world   

 

End of Ep 2 review

 

Next week I'm going on a vacation so I do not think I'll be able to review episode 3 ... but I will retrieve it the following week together with episode 4

I can´t wait to see the seven shades of So turning into a 50 shades...

On 19.10.2017 at 1:28 AM, antoniaclamens said:

i always tear or cry everytime i see  So (JG)'s teary eyes 

Just finished ep.2 and... yeah... I know what you mean. His eyes are so meaningful, deep, black and soulful. I know I've said it 15000000000 times already but it's never going to stop being truth - LJG as Wang So is perfection. I'm not talking only about his jawdroping looks - his acting is amazing, amazing, AMAZING!!! Not only those scenes where he has tears in his eyes and shows how hurt is Wang So - those light moments are also worth mentioning. His acting is beautiful, not only his face and body. Not a single gesture out of place, always being natural... whenever I watch ML I see not LJG - I see Wang So.

As for episode n.2 - I forgot that Wook and Yeon Hwa are siblings. So I was like - he's her broth... oh, riiiiight, he is! I mean... ok they're all siblings but what I meant is - total siblings. Same father and mother.

Queen Yoo is... she's so full of hatred it's hard to stand. She's focused on having revenge on her husband for what he did years ago so she hurts her own son. And... What kind of mother stops loving her son for having a scar?! Which btw SHE did to him! 

Yo is an awful brat and even more awful brother. Jung... Jung is now like overgrown 2-years-old. His bubble-gum-pink robe shows that even more. I'm waiting for moment when he'll change into a man, he was worth my attention then. But I must say - it's not my favourite Ji So's role. Pity - the guy knows how to steal the audience's attention (if anyone saw Doctor crush then know what I mean ). Maybe LJG made him nervous.

Btw LJG as Wang So is someone I want to hug and stay like this forever.  Like in the scene after the ritual (btw I love this scene) - the moment they saw that under the mask hides Wang So. Everyone stopped paying attention to him. My heart stopped beating - he was hurt, damn it! No one cared! Ji Mong was the one who finally asked if he's ok. What about his father?! I'm not asking about his mother 'cause I'd expect more warmth from block of ice. But... not father, not a single brother - and I'd expect something from Wook (at the beginning of the drama he behaved civilized) or Baek Ah. Or Moo, he took his place, damn it.

Yes, please JG....no sneaking out (that's assuming he is even in Korea right now) and give us some hunky outfit, smiles and waves to look for! 

You know... thinking about airport fashion and pictures made me think... how this man is able to go shopping. I mean imagine he has to go out to buy... hmm... let's say rice. Is it possible people not notice him? If they do - do they leave him alone? I hope people are not stalking him all the time. 

On 19.10.2017 at 4:57 AM, antoniaclamens said:

 

First meeting doesn´t leave the best impression on Soo, but it left the best impression on me.

Btw I love the "convo" they had after she fell from his horse. I know - he didn't say any word, she was talking (or screaming to be precise) to him all the time. But... I just love how he behaved as if he was mocking her and then when he tried to ride away she shout at him to stop and his face was like "My god, this THING dares to talk to ME?!"  He was so surprised he lost his "image" for a second. I love that. LJG is able to change his facial expression in seconds, he was always good at it. 

Btw your gif of choice - I can hear "Gravity of love" in the background (someone in the building turned on the radio to much). Yup. Gravity of love, right.

as if Wook’s attention on him is a reminder that he’s not allowed to share this joy.

This I disagree. To me Wook's attention was a surprise and knowing that wolf-dog is normal young man. Wang So just realized someone saw his moment when he wasn't behind secure mask of dog-wolf.

I was wondering why Wook wasn't being more open to showing affection/brotherly attention to So.  His words seem to indicate he wanted to give SO a chance, but his actions/reactions seem to tell a different story.  Therein lies Wook....so smart and intelligent and knows what to say (to please/placate) but his inner motivation doesn't match his words. 

Wook was actually strange character - remember he used to (in upcoming episodes) say to Soo he's gonna ask father for permission to marry her? He never did anything - he only talked. I think he was a person who spent too much time in a library - he knows what to do, what is right to do, but he doesn't know HOW to do it. So he wastes time a lot and starts acting when it's too late to do anything, when he loses his chances. That's how I understand Wook. He wasn't the bad guy from the beginning - he changed into the dark lord of the Sith in time, when he discovered that sometimes you have to act here and now.

So sexiest prince??? NO contest!  WANG SO!

Do we need any contest??? Of course it's Wang So! As much as I appreciate Kang Ha Neul's wonderful job as Wook... I still chose LJG and Wang So.

my Personal Wang So, who was in the same room when I was watching it...(He was reading) and he kept going ...what disaster is befalling them now? He cannot and does not understand my consumption of KDramas.>>> I WON'T let him watch MLSHR with me...because he would completely DESTROY it for me. And that CANNOT be! 

If he does - destroy his favourite show. I bet he watches something.

That would be perfect revenge.

when he does it...he pauses...gives her time to react to him and then says "you've changed." I felt as if it was almost like he was waiting for her to react the way she would have reacted if she was the old Hae Soo.

To me waiting for her reaction is more like he now sees her - she became interesting. She does things she never did before. To him she may be interesting woman now and he tries to get closer a bit but as I said somewhere above - he's not the kind of guy who acts when it's needed.

He waits and he waits too long.

She changed? Maybe he changed too. Maybe he never were so close to her before and now he wish to know her better. Esp. that she behaves as if she wanted that too.

But you made me rethink about what I thought about Wook because you showed me a very interesting point of view.

I do not consider the princess  because I think she is interested in So just because she thinks she is in love with him  and thinks that he could come back useful in the future, not because she really care about him.

Btw I wonder how come Yeon Hwa fell for Wang So? No, wrong question. Ladies love bad boys.

If she's Goryeo princess and likes pretty faces so much... Wrong again. He's the prettiest of them all.

If people don't like scars so much why she's the one who doesn't care? Wang So is away for so many years, she probably doesn't know him that much... Maybe because he wasn't Yo? Yo wanted her and tried to force her to marry her (let's forget for now how disgusting it it to marry your own brother - she was her brother's wife after all, we can't change history). So didn't do it. Or maybe she wanted him because he was somehow an outsider?

Add Moo and you have them 9.

Jokes aside you're right - something's not right. I think it's because after all king Taejo had more sons than the drama shows. The drama focused on only a few of them. Their numbers: 1 (dead), 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14. Where are 5, 6, 7, 11, 12? Or even more? I heard Taejo had actually 28 sons. Or even more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taejo_of_Goryeo#Family

So maybe those are sons never mentioned in the drama?

Wang So is so much more than Christian Grey... (hint: hate the book)

@cedarwood No argument about Wang So being better  But I started this by mentioning 7 shades of Wang So meaning 7 different face expressions and emotions that I captured and shared as printscreens from the 2nd episode (and then @antoniaclamens just reacted to my words). These "shades" nicely express what I wanted to say. No comparison to Grey intended

I don't want him redeemed, I want him alive and happy. It's hard to watch him dying on screen or being left by the girl. I'm changing into waterfall when I see that. Remember NSG???

Yes I think too that they are some "missing" princes, but since when they practice so hard they are only 6 (plus Moo as "Fangxiangshi and Yo as ... I don't remember the name of his character), it only seems strange to me that when they are performing the ritual they are in 9. I think you are right @pixelsticks and it's a matter of visually appealing
