Consorts and issue:

Queen Daemok, half sibling.
Princess Gyeonghwagung, daughter of Hyejong of Goryeo and Queen Uihye.

Oh, maybe you're correct. I just thought that Gyeonghwagung is basically Yeon Hwa Princess.

I don't want even the incarnation to be a sad ending coz if it is, I'll regret being super excited every week for the story to unfold!

Yeah, I'm excited to know all this mystery too! Its unbearable to live with so many questions every week until the new episode comes out T_T

I know! I'm really bugged with this preview!

But again, this drama is unpredictable.

Hmm the scene where Wang Wook is shown to sit on his desk and talk with his sister, Princess Yeon Hwa, where he was still deciding either to support Wang Yo until the end or betray him in order to not fall into the treason trap along with the 3rd Prince. Thats why he said, "I'm thinking of my priorities"! I mean, Wang Wook might've sensed that chances of the treason plan are lower and decided to side with the Crown Prince because if Wang Wook would've gone all the way and committed treason, then he'd be stupid to put his mother and sister in danger (who are the prime reasons as to why he has changed)!

So I'm guessing that when he sent Princess Yeon Hwa to block all the roads to Hubeakje, he had already decided to take Crown Prince's side and hence might have sent a message through her or Baek Ah. Also, he did tell Hae Soo where the Crown Prince was (I was also shocked as to why he's letting her know when she clearly looked like she didn't want to support him)!

He's very clever, of the lot (as compared to his looks)! In the preview for Ep 14, Wang Wook is shown as trying to horrifyingly convince Emperor Wang Mu to abdicate the throne to him! :O This is the "priorities" he was talking about. Hence, in order to get the throne without causing treason, he decided to betray Wang Yo in Ep 13. There is also one dialogue in the preview for Ep 14 that says, "A treason is successful when its fully executed" so you never know if this was all purposely planned to take place intentionally by both Wang Yo and Wang Wook.

I CAN'T WAIT TO KNOW ALL THIS OMG!!!

I was also kinda confused and thought they should make it clear about why Wang Mu says that Wang Wook had already told him about this kind of a plan that was to be executed by Wang Yo, but the above written things is what I made up as a theory to convince myself. We might get answers in the next episode when Wang Yo comes back with the rebellion.

The role of a chaebol totally suits Lee Jun Ki :P

Chronologically looking at the Goryeo Monarchs :-

Taejo 918–943 (Founder of Goryeo)
Hyejong 943–945 (The Crown Prince Wang Mu)
Jeongjong 945–949 (3rd Prince Wang Yo)
Gwangjong 949–975 (4th Prince Wang So)
Gyeongjong 975–981 (Eldest son of Wang So - Wang Ju)

As you can see, Wang Mu reigns only for 2 years and dies due to the illness he's had. After that (Internet doesn't know how, I'm excited to know) Wang Yo ascends the throne only for 4 years and is probably overthrown by (excited to see this too) Wang So who rules comparatively much longer! Hence, in Korea people mostly remember the kings who left a mark and hence remember Gwangjong after Taejo (is what my friends say)! This chronology also shows a possibility of Gwangjong killing his brothers as in history it says that Wang So's eldest son, Wang Ju (from Empress Daemuk) was named Crown Prince immediately after his birth and eventually went on to become the 5th Monarch of Goryeo!

Well, it depends on the SBS team if they follow the exact history or not! I mean, its still a drama at the end of the day and who knows they might decide not to do so!

And also when King Taejo told Ji Mong and The General that atleast he made some good friends in his life as a king and the request to take care of the Crown Prince and the 4th Prince <3

@Bongsookie
Historically, Wang So (4th Prince) had two consorts :- Empress Daemok (Crown Prince's neice; with whom he basically has all his kids; she was the Queen when Wang So reigned as the Emperor) and Princess Yeon Hwa (Wang Wook's sister). He's shown to get married to Crown Prince's little neice in the preview for Ep 14, which is basically following the actual history! T_T

Maybe Hae Soo will just meet him when she returns to the 21st century and be happy then? *suspense feels*

WAIT. I know that historically, Wang So (4th Prince) had two consorts :- Empress Daemok (Crown Prince's neice) and Princess Yeon Hwa (Wang Wook's sister). He's shown to get married to Crown Prince's little neice in the preview for the Ep 14, after Hae Soo kisses him! :O Also he says something like, "Don't give me hope only if you're going to leave me!" WHATTT?

But what happens to the Hae Soo-Wang So ship? :'( Will she meet him when she returns to the 21st century? OMG DON'T TELL ME OMG *suspense feels*

Yeah coz although for a very brief period, history says that Wang Yo did become a king after the Crown Prince died due to his disease! I'm excited to see how that unfolds and how Gwangjong claims the throne!

Yes, this is one fact that was known to everyone in the palace in those times.

NO WAY. I can't wait for until next Tuesday (coz for me Monday's episode gets subbed on Tuesday)! Since Hae Soo entered Damiwon, episodes are picking up the pace and story's making sense (I watch at HDFree.se so its the unedited original version)! GOSH, SO EXCITED.

So historically, the Crown Prince reigned for only 2 years and died coz of his disease and Wang Yo (3rd Prince) comes back and takes over the throne but is not known for being a strong one! (how though, coz in the drama 3rd Prince has been announced as a traitor for treason right?) Hence, Gwangjong (Wang So/4th Prince) is the most known after King Taejo (as compared to his two brothers who ruled before him for a very short period) for being a very fearful, stern and hence popular ruler! Can't wait to see how Wang So rises to the throne! I mean, we all have to admit that he looked strikingly hot when he was shown wearing the king's robe during the rain ritual in Hae Soo's brief (but so elaborate) vision! Not much is written about how he became a king (on the Internet), so if the drama is following the history closely, we'll be able to see! Ofcourse, I'm not sure if all this coup and fighting for the king's seat actually really happened or not because otherwise it would've been mentioned somewhere on the internet and who knows "these scenes" is the creative license they've taken from the actual factual history!

Guilty admittance: Wang So (4th Prince) and Wang Wook (8th Prince) looked amazingly hot during their one-on-one sword fight.
Have to also admit though that Baek Ah (13th Prince) and Won Hee suit each other well! :O
And AWWW Wang So being sad about stabbing his "older brother" (3rd Prince) T_T
Also when the king remembers Court Lady Oh, when she was shown in a beautiful hanbok with a bouquet of flowers as if waiting for him! T_T <3 And he says her name right before passing away! I'm glad Queen Yoo was there to hear it hahaha served her right hahaha! XD
P.S - Queen Yoo's hair color change though!! Looked like a shaman came out of the palace's chambers :P Almost couldn't recognise her! HAHAHA
Also, FINALLY HAE SOO IS OFF THE WANG WOOK SHIP. WELCOME ABOARD THE WANG SO SHIP!!!

Believe me, I don't want that for Baek Ah either. If all I knew, I would totally want Wang So and Baek Ah to have happy and peaceful endings at the end of the show! <3 I do believe they won't scarp him out this easily, I mean its a sword stab and I'm sure 21st C.E historical dramas have raised their standards of killing a character just by a stab! But we never know until we see Episode 13 which is tomorrow for me :(

I am still not going to read the Chinese version's plot. *hwaighting*

Love in the Moonlight is becoming very predictable and I watch it as it started out amazing but now I just love the characters and wish for their happiness. As for Moon Lovers, I CAN'T HOPE FOR ANYTHING coz the twists are now supposed to start slowly by slowly! Everyone said that having too many characters in the show is a mess but guess what, to unfold the twists in this drama, so many characters are just suitable! GOSH, SO EXCITED.

I prepare myself some snacks and drinks when I gear up to watch Moon Lovers episode every week!

And the scene beside the river, I also think it gave a closure analysis to Hae Soo about Wang Wook. I'm just comparing the two scenes and how Wang So's love is different from Wang Wook's.

"At first she rejected Wang So because she didn't want him to be king and kill his brothers, and now it's because she wants him to fulfil his destiny and be king?? that's why she rejected him - it's noble idiocy which confuses me"

Totally agreed on this!

"If all of the princes are really destined to be killed by So's hands, I'll gladly help him slice everyone's throat" XD

OMG same feelings right now! Although I never shipped Wang Wook with Hae Soo ever!

Just saying as a joke, but if I were to slip back in time in Hae Soo's shoes, the last thing that I'd have on my mind is to fall in love with someone like the 8th Prince! :P

@Selty I know, I was like "no no no no no" to the screen of my PC lol

This is going to be one of the many other long comments that I have left on the comment section of this drama!

To start with, I'm watching "Love In The Moonlight" simultaneously with "Scarlet heart" but to be very honest, I've realised that "Moon Lovers : Goryeo" is the one that keeps me boiling in suspense and the eagerness for the worst day (Monday) aka now the most awaited day to come quickly! Like some other fans, the reason is because things in this drama are going to become even more unpredictable (I haven't watched the Chinese version) and even more interesting (just hoping for no tragedy though but yes if the original story demands one, we have no choice because sometimes story's that end up in tragedy also end up being known as masterpieces). But nonetheless, I like both of them.

Next is that its episode 12 and story is at the correct time to grab the pace and also let Hae Soo go over to Wang So. I mean, I did feel irritated at her replies to Wang So in Episode 12 but the things that she didn't let out loud to him made me realise that she does have feelings for him because she acknowledges the fact that he always goes out of his way to help her out, to stand beside her whenever she needs him etc. She just needs to accept it regardless of whatever type of a King he's to become into. Yes, the history says that Gwangjong (Wang So) eventually married Princess Yeon Hwa (NOOOOOO!) but this drama has taken a creative license from the history and might have a complete different ending from what actually happened during that time in Goryeo or from BBJX (Chinese version). Hence, this is also one reason why this drama has me in turmoil because I can't predict anything about it.

I guess the reason why I'm writing so much is because I feel super sad for Baek Ah. It was very caring of him to sacrifice himself like that but it will break my heart if they decide to scrap him out of the drama and for him to die like that because he was one of the nicest characters around and one of Wang So's people!! And also because Nam Jo Hyuk executed this calm and loving Prince in the exact charming way as Baek Ah's personality and character. I couldn't hold back my tears after the death of Court Lady Oh and can't stay put thinking about what they'll do with Prince Baek Ah.

I know that there are other important storylines to execute but I would've loved to have some background explanation on how Hae Soo and Won Hee became friendly! I was a bit taken aback at this scene (although they must've become acquaintances in the one year that was fast forwarded).

The preview of Episode 13 seems like the commencement of the fight for the throne and honestly, I don't care how but I want Wang Wook's character (I like Kang Ha Neul and his acting so don't start with the hate comments!) to be finished off once and for all (which is highly unlikely) but seriously! I understand Hae Soo's been through a lot in the last episodes but she needs to get over him! The scene where he visits her near the river and starts talking about "things would get better from here on" and she keeps on saying that she missed him and even then he's saying stuff that she doesn't want to hear unless she finally asks him if he missed her or not! Compared to this, when Wang So meets her at the towel drying place the first thing he says is that he missed her so much! I MEAN, NOTICE GURLLLLL :O

But I'm gonna end with the cruel truth of drama land : Can't wait to see tonight's episode and then wait for the next week.
