Yet another Chinese historical that I would *love* to watch, but... I'll wait until it's over to see what kind of ending it has. Happy endings seem to be *extremely* rare (for this country/genre combo), and I personally *hate* bittersweet/sad/tragic endings.
So, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a happy ending. Although, I'm not too optimistic on that...
What is with SBS cutting scenes out of dramas and then releasing them afterwards?! Apparently important scenes…
Ugh... again?! After Moon Lovers, I'm so sick to death of this two-versions BS. I was wondering if this was going to become a new "trend", and to see them pulling this crap again really has me worried. :(
Anyway, thanks for the heads-up (and for the links), Byul. Much appreciated.
This was fantastic! (5-stars / 10/10 MDL) My eyes were glued to the screen through the entire thing (not a single boring moment), and my heart was literally pounding through the last third. And what a twist... Wow! I didn't see it coming at all. I had this nagging feeling that something wasn't right, but I never expected *that*.
A word of warning... this is tagged with Romance and Comedy, but it is NOT a "Rom-Com".
the ending confused me too but i think that was her 8th love at the end
I was confused by the ending as well, but after reading your comment, I think you're right. I wonder about the final scene, though. Was it a flashback to when they were at the zoo, or did she go there with her new boyfriend? If it's the latter, that's a bit messed up. LOL! :P
Hmmm... this was an "okay" watch for me (3-stars / 6/10 MDL). I found it a bit slow/boring in parts (paused it several times to go do other things), and I was really disappointed with who she eventually ended up with. I had major Second Lead Syndrome, unfortunately. :(
I just wanna know who the fuck is the writer... The story was stupid and had so many flaws! I really had big expectations…
The writer is Park Ji Eun. Some of the other dramas she's written are: My Love from Another Star, Producer, Queen of Reversals, Queen of Housewives, Unexpected You.
LOVED the 1st episode! But ugh... I hate that Taiwanese dramas only air one episode per week. It's going to take forever for this to finish, and I want to marathon the whole thing right now! :( :P
I'm also loving the OST. Usually, I don't take much notice of the music in dramas, but this one has some really, really great songs! :)
The story is kind of "meh" (nothing especially new/unique, and a bit slow/boring in parts), but it's worth watching for the setting/scenery alone, which is absolutely gorgeous.
Today's lesson: "Don't ever go shopping with Lee Min Ho"
LOL!! I was thinking the same thing! That dress and those shoes were absolutely hideous, and the colours clashed horribly. I honestly don't know what they were thinking when it came to wardrobe choices for that scene...
The synopsis made this sound like a time-travel, but it looks like that's not the case. It seems she's just immortal (or long-lived) and has lived from/through the Joseon era up to current-day modern times.

Thanks very much for the links! :)
Should these 2 be watched instead of the "original" episode 10, if we want a happy ending? (Eg., watch episode 9, then skip over episode 10 and watch these 2). Or are they just a continuation of the series, to eventually get to a happy ending?
It's been a good watch and not your typical historical-romance drama. I will definitely re-watch it. I just…
Moon Lovers - because it was a lunar eclipse that sent her back through time.
Scarlet Heart Ryeo - because "Scarlet Heart" is one of the English titles for the Chinese adaptation of the novel - and "Ryeo" for the Korean-specific time period it's set in (Goryeo).
EDIT: Actually, it was a solar eclipse (not lunar), but since that occurs because of the moon, I think that's the reason for "moon lovers" in the title. :P
So, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a happy ending. Although, I'm not too optimistic on that...
