Yeah, there is more progress with FL. She realizes that the future will not control my life, I'll take the action…
Oh, episode 10 not 9...I think it's going to be a little difficult to find because I don't think that it's part of the OST but if it is, they will release it soon. I'll try and look around again but because it's in Korean...finding it won't be easy.
I agree with gee's comment from two days ago. I really, really wanted to like this one - I'm in desperate need…
Its fiction. it's supposed to be a fun, laid-back, cute drama. Being strong and independent doesn't mean you have to always be serious and elegant or poised. Life can't exist without that element. but at least you are honest about your preferences.
I'm excited to see our eccentric couple today. Massaging my cheeks before battle. There is going to be a lot of smiling and straight-up fangirling. haha
Please be offended fans, but I just an ordinary viewers here like to share for those who on the same objective…
I agree with your sentiments on the Lee Joon and his character. I couldn't really put into words how I felt about the two and you voiced it perfectly. I definitely think that Lee Joon has played similar character in the past and has already proved to be quite an exceptional actor but its time to see him portraying other characters. I don't think constantly playing emotional characters is good on the mind and the body but hey everyone's different.
I think the way the Character Lee Tae was written had a lot to do with how he was portrayed. I don't think that there actually was supposed to be any character development from what was shown in the last episode but the drama still worth the time.
I watched the last episode, had a good night's sleep( haha at like 2 am) and have collected my thoughts. I am ready to bid my farewells.
Firstly let's start with LCP, I DIDNT EXPECT HIM TO DIE SO EASILY! Hahaha, but his death was inevitable as he was the tragic hero in the story and a tragic hero eventually has to meet their demise. He died before the king could prove himself and I think that the king kind of wanted some sort of recognition from him. But alas, the king's political rival had come to his humble end. Honestly, I wanted him out of people to survive despite his twisted ways, he still had good intentions.
Queen Dowager... my, my... (loved the last scene between her and LCP)was she a tragic character. I think it's mainly because she let herself be manipulated and stripped from the life that she wanted. By the time she realized that it was too late and it still took someone to manipulate her for her to realize it. Of course, that realization had led to hatred and the birth of a tyrant. I think her punishment was by far the best punishment given in the show and across historical pieces. Death is always the easy way out for a criminal but unfortunately the customs of the Joseon era.
Jung Eui Gyun the Eunuch and Bodyguard...was he the man, haha. I expect him to accept punishment but I'm glad he didn't. He was ultimately the most loyal and trustworthy character. Minister of War was 'finally' punished for his sin although I didn't see a need for it. Lady Cho, we all know that her plans aren't going to work and will probably go down the same path as Queen Dowager.
And last but not least our lovely couple finally got their happy ending. I loved how the king called his own son ugly. He's going to be a good father, hahaha. I love how our couple came to a "compromise" in terms of the ideals and methods by not only supporting each other but by recognising each other as rivals. Ultimately a really good ending for a Historical piece with the majority of the main character still alive, haha.
Praises to the director and writer for creating such a beautiful piece and to the whole production team for making it happen. Compliments to the cinematographer and Soundtrack team, and to the actors for bringing the story to life.
A story of the "good" seeking good. 8/10 for me, would recommend and watch it again. Farewell friends, until we meet again!
"You have to lose to gain, feel sadness to feel happiness and sacrifice to succeed". I think that this show is the epiphany of these sayings but at the same, there is no "right way" or "wrong way" in the Joseon era. If you have watched a good handful of historical pieces you would know that it's either "kill or be killed" and you can see that the King is torn between that. " Bloody Heart" reminds me of the historical drama "The Crowned Clown" although the surrounding themes are slightly different, I think the circumstances and characters are quite similar.
Both the king and the clown were portrayed as kind of "pitiful" characters, as in characters that you tend to deeply sympathize but also the characters that can be so pitiful that it can be difficult to watch because of their helplessness. There is a lot of conflict of ideals due to their surroundings.
A lot of viewers were quite upset with the king's scheme due to the uproar that it caused but I side with the king on this one. Firstly, I thought the scheme of such class mastery was because of how many people he managed to outsmart. Secondly, it proved his capability as a king. I don't think that anyone would have thought that Queen Dowager would have turned into a tyrant or that Ttoengoma, Siwol and the officials would die. Then again, "you have to lose to gain, feel sadness to feel happiness and sacrifice to succeed" so it was inevitable. Consort Park has the right to feel deceived but at the same its wasn't completely the king's fault. There were just too many outliers and she also had a few chances to get Ttoengoma out of the palace, not the point though. As much as I love Consort Park but I think that she needs to consider the fact that in that time era for a King bloodshed is inevitable. However, a character like hers is needed as an anchor, especially for the King. LCP does remind me of the Cheif Secretary from "The Crowned Clown", they both feared that kings would go astray as soon as they had a taste of power as power gains more enemies and fear which could lead to a massacre. However, LCP is a bit more extreme but in Episode 15, I believe that LCP proved his point and the king could spiral our control at any moment now that Consort Park is doesn't confine with his methods. Consort Park was devising her own plans in order to test the King's morality and I really wonder if she can actually get the king confined to her ideals but from what it seemed like in this episode, I don't think that the King is going to budge and that he is prepared to abandon Consort Park.
Queen Dowager surprised me because she actually quite a capable Queen but unfortunately a tragic one. Her character was bound to die from the beginning. LCP's wife from the beginning proved her capability but was torn between LCP ideals and ex-lover. She deserved better. This Historical piece once again proved that no official is completely loyal or can be trusted. Let's appreciate Jung Eui Gyun, he reminds me of the Bodyguard from "The Crowned Clown" for being such an astounding Eunuch and loyal subject.
Each character has their own ideals and methods of achieving them with their fair share of sins and I am very excited to see how far they will go to achieve their ideals and how the show will conclude.
With that being said this show is definitely a 10/10, would recommend and watch it again. If you have read this far, haha, thank you for reading my 2c.
