I hate YH but i had to admit that she and So had great chemistry... and this scene was kind of hot

Yes...even their "almost gonna take your mask off and...." scene.  I'm dying to see him in a drama or a movie where there are true sparks like this between the 2 main leads.  In both directions...

i can´t understand how why he cut off this awesome scene:

Wait...I thought I watched the Directors Cut on Dramafever and that wasn't in there.  I totally forgot about that scene. I've watched 3 and did my preliminary ramblings.  I just need to add emojis.  HAHAHA  So I will comment more later.  I have a darn head cold that is making it tough to function as a normal human being right now.

I wish they didn't cut the scene of him running on rooftops

I know!  It seemed like they were really still defining the HJ character while filming and deciding what would be included or not.  We now know this rooftop scene wasn't included and some scene where he breaks through a glass window wasn't included.  Makes me wonder HOW much is on the cutting room floor?  

Pretty pics from the Thank You Again photobook are showing up.

MLSHR Episode 3 Directors Cut

Pixelistic Re(take)

 

• Brief Recap of Ep1 & 2 <<thank you editors>>> and ONTO the BRO STANDOFF!
• Wook & So….swords drawn, tense, neither one wanting to back down.   Why should I? <<<yes Wang So…why? I know you say you don’t know her, but you like holding on to her….huh?>>> Wook drops his sword first and Hae Soo lets them know about the dead masked people.  Wook & So exchange glances…and from that moment on…I was hoping a BROMANCE was going to be forming!! NOT.
• Here’s the Bromance we didn’t know we needed.  JiMong & Moo have a chat.  Moo is such a softie! JiMong has a mancrush.
• 3:20 Wook, So, Hae Soo and some soldiers go the place where the dead people are supposed to be. Wang So is so rough here. Manners young man! There’s the Korean wrist grab. Wook should have been in Criminal Minds…as he can read blood splatter on bamboo and determine it was assassin gang that was murdered by their leader! Wook is level-headed, So is still fuming. HaeSoo is falling apart.  Wook is pretty adorable here…almost bias stealing…
• Ahhh…the redrum planning room!  Queen Yoo is one hot tamale showing us some elusive torso while getting out of the bath. Here comes her evil son Yo . He dries her hair, makes her tea, yet she wants to know more about So. She wants her son on the throne…but she doesn’t say which one…does she??
• 9:50 He’s back….WS all fuming and ripping sleeves.   Enter Yeon Hwa to attend to his wound.Bless the writer/director for having her wipe his angular face. Hey Princess, he has been wondering about you. Lucky! Chae Ryung attends to Hae Soo’s wound. Wook & Lady Hae  talk about how Hae Soo makes them feel. Wook is a Richard Simmons for not realizing how his words of joy can harm his wife until too late.
• 14:50 LOVE this scene! Hey…Chae Ryung is wearing a skirt! And with one look, Wang So scares her off and leaves Hae Soo alone with him.  She blabbers, he grabs and demands, and Wook stops him cold. Hae Soo then remembers the leader wore fur <<<thanks for that flashback of Yo editors…hahaha>>>  And here we go with the BRO glances again…ok NOW their bromance will start…right?   NOT
• And here we go again with Wang So telling Hae Soo to “forget” what she saw.  It’s his favorite word of the week! Hae Soo gives So the dagger look <<hehehe>> and tries to leave.  Wang So tells her to not grace his presence again…but she’s had it…and lets him have it. <<I just have to say…the lighting on WS is so yummy, look at the highlights in his eyes!>>> He smirks, but he quivers as well and he tries to leave yet she says the lines that will reach him.  “Is it a crime to want to live, why are you picking on me?” He is a terrible jerk Hae Soo.  <<<but a hot jerk!>>>
• 18:50 Wook & Hae Soo have an in-depth convo.  He lights candles  <<<which seems so romantic>>>  but then talks about his first kill <<<ok…buzzkill>>> and how he protected the ones he loves <<<ok a little better>>> Hae Soo says just the right thing to make Wook want her even more.  Uh oh!
• 21:57 The Uncalled 4: King Taejo, Moo, So & JiMong in the throne room.  WS gets his hall pass and gets the OK to stay in Songak for a bit!  WooHOOOOO!!!
• 23:30 This Damiwon Tea bath is sponsored by Crayola! See the new colors…all over the princes??? Eun & Jung are their dorky young selves. Wook & Yo have a little verbal spar. Won, who are you again? Enter King Taejo who demands to know who bruised his Eun’s face!  Scene change: Hae Soo and Chae Ryung <<in pants again>>> worry about her fate.  Cue cutesy music and cute Eun…riding in on a horse. Eun confesses…Hae Soo finds him harmless… ahhh a cute friendship is born!
• 29:40 Finally, we get to know a bit more about Baek-Ha.  He’s an artist, drawing what he sees in the village for his daddy. And what does he see, Jung street fighting. Here comes the physical comedy again. Jung & Baek-Ha fight over the drawing.  Jung steals it and runs away.
• 33:00 Baek-Ha is a renaissance man. Not only can he draw, and is handsome but he is a musician as well!?  Ahhh and he has a crush on Lady Hae.  They watch Hae Soo chatting away to herself. 
• 35:45 Boy’s Night at the Morgue <<<see my Criminal Minds reference>>> So, Moo & JiMong figure out the assassins were fallen tongue-less monks.  WS corners Yo and gives us the sexiest accusatory convo close-ups ever <<<how can I do something wrong and have him grab me>>> When he asks Yo if their Mother is behind this…Yo…pauses and for a flicker… and gives it away.  WS fumes & watches his mommy give Jung all the attention, and those violins play….uh oh! <<<violins=Richard simmons is gonna happen>>>
• 39:40 Sweet scene between Lady Hae & Hae Soo where she encourages Lady Hae to put on makeup and go out with her hubby. We get to see the flashback where her best friend betrayed her by dating her boyfriend. Ok…it’s working…Wook smiles at his wife. But Hae Soo has to go be all spunky and attract his attention away!  
• 44:20 Hae Soo & Wook at the Pharmacy/Drug Store. She wants to make soap, he wants to make….her cut better <<<cough cough>>>. They both put Lady Hae to bed <<poor girl, they didn’t take out her hairpins, one toss to the right/left and it will hurt like a mofo!>>> Hae Soo goes to pray at the stones….and to confess she is falling for Wook. <<<bad Soo>>> She sees Wang So…all angsty on a rock. But leaves him there. <<<bad Soo>>>
• 51:00 Wang So is riding his horse to a temple. He enters, and no one is around.  Or??? He centers himself, closes his eyes and all hell breaks loose! <<<video game>>> Assassins, assassins, everywhere. And the Kill Bill fight commences. Wang So…swirling and twirling again. Weapons in every hand, shoe, etc. stabbing and throwing, dashing and dicing, slicing each dude down.   <<<Ok…I want him on my side in a fight>>>.  His look is so intense! Yet that damn door exploding open revealing the Head Monk made me Laugh Out Loud! But Wang So’s bloody smirky quivering face brings me right back.  RAWR!!! He 360 degree swipes and slices the leader. And he’s burning down the house. He’s quite the scary killer. <<<and I am unnerved that I enjoyed it so!>>>
• 58:45 <<<such a scene>>> Out of focus, violins playing…a shadow of a figure enters Queen Yoo’s bedroom. It’s bloody Wang So. <<<not just a British accent, he really is bloody>>> With a small smile on his face.  And it ends……ARRRGGHHH!!!! <<<do you know how HARD and FRUSTRATING it was to wait to see what happened next!?!?!?!?!?!  Was that smile because he was happy to help her or that he knew he was scaring the bejesus out of her or what?  Is he evil???? <<<now off to replay that Kill Bill scene again….for research purposes>>>

In the airport pics he looked as if his face is a little bit full but in the aquarium pics, it doesn’t seem so. 

 

Maybe that "fullness" was tiredness + jetlag + ramen last night?

He was mature enough to accept So’s daughter (poor So couldn't even have this part of Soo with him or have his daughter call him "daddy")and raise her as his own.

 

Exactly.

No, no, I understand what you are saying. Everything you said above, that and I feel he was too caring towards her because he felt obliged since without her clan’s support snake Wok and his family would not have been able to return to Songak.

That's true but he could be like Yo - Yo had a wife (he mentioned it once... or maybe twice). Bet she wasn't happier than Myung Hee. MH at least could say that her husband is good to her.

5 hours ago, bluelilac1214 said:

But what about snake Wook? From what was shown on the drama, his mother wasn’t like the Evil Queen, was she? Further, he was the mastermind behind the torture of Moo – he chose to kill Moo slowly and painfully. He chose to side with Yo, the bad guy. He chose to make Lady Oh the scapegoat. He chose to blame So for his shortcomings. He was intelligent and yet he chose to use his intelligence in a negative and destructive way. Therefore, in the context of the drama, I can never like snake Wook, or justify his actions.

Yes but my point is - he became evil. In my opinion he wasn't bad from the beginning.

Viki is usually awesome for that and has also a special "learning" mode, but they don't have this serial... 

No idea. Sometimes I see some dramas with korean subs on youtube but I'm not sure if it's always like this.

True. And that is stupid of them 'cause they showed Hyun Jun as action man from the beginning and then... he rarely was actually doing any action. Such a waste...

As per your review you didn´t watch the director's cut... for example, in the director's cut the infamous scene between Jung and BA was thankfully "cut off". Remember they aired 3 episodes (original version) and then the director made the "Director's Cut" for episodes 1, 2 & 3, due to the awful critics and ratings. They continued airing the original version (that is "International Version") until episode 5. It was from episode 6 on that we have 2 versions of every episode,  they were aired the same day: the original version in China and other countries (International Version) and the edited version in Korea (SBS version). Did i make sense?

 

And I love love the pretty pictures... now for those who doesn´t want spoilers from the DVD set don´t watch this... i watched and cry...that moment was so beautiful and touching and tearful

First of all i saw all emojis too! sometimes some won´t show no matter how many times i refresh the page!! second lol at your CM references . Now i left the 2 scenes that luckily were cut off the Episode 3 Director's Cut.

About Kill Bill references... please don´t compare. I admit that i haven´t watched the full movie but i did watch some scenes (i don´t like Tarantino's movies) and they are nothing like my precious episode 3 killing scene! the only thing they have in common is of course they both have lots of killing!!
