13th ep: My level of frustration is immeasurable. That was supposed to be a moment in which Ji Dwi is telling…
Did the same OMG! I waited this whole week to see this moment but then Ah Ro walks in as if she is always spying on them! Or maybe she's always on the look out for Sun Woo *rollseyes*
"King Jinheung's achievements for his kingdom established the basis for unification of Korea. He is remembered today by the Korean people as one of the greatest rulers of Silla."
I hope they live up to this legacy and give that power back to Sam Maek Jong, no matter how fictional this story is!
@Annie PSJ (Sun Woo) could probably be the son of Master Hwi Kyung (considering how tensed music teacher (Woo Reuk) was when Master Ahn Ji took him in to act like his dead son). Master Hwi Kyung is the elder brother of the Queen (got disqualified due to his polio) and it does seem like PSJ (Sun Woo) is probably his son.
But PSJ's (Sun Woo's) 'fainting' scenes haven't been addressed yet so you never know. In my opinion, he definitely is someone who can challenge the King's seat.
Can Ah Ro just stop getting into trouble already? Like seriously!
It was pretty predictable that Sun Woo would speak up because he's all valour and has no thoughts when he sees Ah Ro in danger, but this is too much. And I say most of this because I am not finding Sun Woo and Ah Ro's romance fitting in the picture very well. Neither do I want Sam Maek Jong to end up with Ah Ro! And yes, I was expecting Sam Maek Jong to speak up TT I totally despise how weak his character has been shown, because King Jinheung is one of the most well known kings of Silla! The story is leaning too much towards Sun Woo being the more 'suitable' king!
But tbh, I will be very disappointed if they decide to make Sun Woo the new king! This is like robbing the second lead off everything!
Let me start by saying, even until Ep 12, the SLS is still going very strong!
But I do not wish Ji Dwi to end up with Ah Ro anymore as her scenes with Sun Woo don't add to the story or interest me much. I find Seo Joon and Go Ara very talented, but in this drama its just not working out for me. If the drama would've just been about a faceless King and his rightful ascendence to his throne with a well written political backdrop, it would've been more interesting, as at the moment, I find myself skipping only to Ji Dwi's scenes (+political schemings), his identity crisis along with such a well written bromance.
And yes, Ban Ryu and Soo Ho's sister seem to be stealing far more spotlight. I think until Ep 15 the story won't pick up - it will catch up slowly. And oh please, the role of the Princess is so confusing - I'm not sure if its needed or not, as the ministers and the Queen are plotting so much anyway (include Master Ahn Ji as well). Nevertheless, the comical bromance and the "King-within-Hwarang" plot has more solid build up than the main romance, in my opinion.
King Jinheung, fighting!!
Excited for him to rise to his rightful position!!
So because I'm still having a strong SLS regardless of however the drama is progressing, I just hope that…
Ahh, I didn't know most of that! Thank you for explaining it to me so well! :) Yes, then Ji Dwi atleast starts ruling independently! Because, its predictable that Ah Ro will still refuse him (coz of Moo Myung and her real brother's death as well).
I wonder what will happen to Sun Woo when Ji Dwi is ruling, would he still be in Hwarang or be having his happy-ever-after with Ah Ro? I'm sure the scriptwriter doesn't want to lose his job so he/she might as well get it on track with the real history! I wonder if all this would strain the relation between Sun Woo and Ji Dwi~~ sigh, the bromance is really what pulls me into the drama (and after that the story) so I wish that stays! :P
YESS hahaha whenever they show something as modern as today's world, I admit that my first impression is like whaaaa and my mind can't adjust to the sudden reference but the next moment I find myself laughing at it :P
So because I'm still having a strong SLS regardless of however the drama is progressing, I just hope that in the end Ji Dwi is not robbed off everything! What I mean to say is that, everyone predicts that Sun Woo will rise as the King of Silla in the end of the series and will also get his romance with Ah Ro. Well then, what about Ji Dwi then?
Shouldn't he either get something out of this all? His romance with Ah Ro or the throne as a full fledged ruler? (although, I would love to see him as the ruler who comes out after being hidden for so long, rather than ending up with Ah Ro, coz the bromance seems more interesting than her character as a whole!)
P.S - Has anyone noticed how they couldn't help adding a touch of modernity into the drama haha!

Yes, I've been excited since the story started developing!
