I'm not surprised at King Wang So. He always was an unstable man; it would be very hard not to be after his…
Hae Soo is the one who created a big mess, She is driven by emotion, coz when things don't go her way or reality sucks, she is just trying to escape and hiding. U know, like when she was in modern time, she wanted to escape, then with wook, she wanted out, now with so also like that, escape again with Jung, umm and she is driven by her attachment to ChaeRyung, when clearly ChaeRyung poisoned king, it's So call to punish CR, if not, how people see him. So was disappointed by Soo of course, she likes to tell promises only to break it easily that's why he lets her go. He knows all along that wook is the one who orchestra the death of princes, it's only just to punish them all. It's not done by emotion but by justice. He did not kill Yo in the first place because of his emotion and attachment to Yo as his sibling but after that Yo came back and killed the king, so i think he just has no choice, but to punish those evil people, if not, it will be worse, with so many lives wasted. He clearly said that he does not want innocent people to die anymore. Not that i defend 4th prince, it's just that he makes his choice because of his responsibility as a king.
ugh.. I actually have not watched eps 18 yet, only watched until eps 17 when Wook and Yeon hwa plotted to be queen.…
@shineean I disagree on this.. It is still Chae Ryung's fault, yes, she was born as a slave but she still has a choice, if she was a loyal friend, she would have prefer to die instead of doing this, coz eventually she will die and her lover did not do anything for her. She is just foolish. She is not evil but foolish and it's still her fault that things turned out like this. @Raincat Yes, exactly, she did the same thing like hae soo's modern time friend, people who betrayed us for any excuses are not our friend. Period. Friend would not intentionally harm us. She is definitely not hae soo's friend, I don't understand Soo at all, how come she has been taken advantage twice yet she still defend these traitors? I guess she is sick with the world now haha.
I am not surprised with WS I actually expected it to happen since yesterday. Honestly, it is my wish fulfilled.:P Perhaps, I'm kinda cruel too but I don't pity those people. They deserve it! They are just reaping what they have sown. I am sick and tired of people who exploits and took advantage of other people, regardless of their motive. If my anger could kill them they're already dead by now. WS has all the right to act that way... he's been used and manipulated for many years so it's time to make an accounting and let they pay for their debt since it's long overdue. WS is doing a good job for restraining himself while the investigation is ongoing. There is time for everything ... next episode comes his verdict. IMHO as a King, it is the right thing to do, otherwise he will end up like a puppet King, which commonly happens during those times. I love it that nothing intimidates WS. GO His Majesty! Crush those PARASITES in the palace. :angry:
HS is very consistent.... for being foolish. She's really slow and sooooo naive.
HS concerning CR: I understand she's like her sister or her only friend but hello .... what kind of friend is that? She was betrayed by a friend back home already and yet she never learns. People who take advantage of you and betrays you is not your friend. They're like wolves in sheep's clothing. People who smile in your face but all the they wanted to sit in your place. Despite her hard beginning it is CR choice to take the wrong path, why would she blame WS for how she's been punished. Knowing how she participated on killing Mu, she deserved more than that. It just happened that WS is the King during that time. Had she forgotten what she went through when she was accused of poisoning the CP? HS not using her brain is a constant disappointment for me. Perhaps WS is a little frustrated too ... he just love her so he is probably being patient with her. Poor WS!!
HS concerning QY and Jung: I have to take WS side there. HS told WS that she can only comfort him but couldn't marry him. Okay, girl. Should that be the case, you should have comforted and tried to understand where his behavior is coming from before you act. You are supposed to be by his side in times like that. Why so concerned about Jung and his mother? Are they more important than WS, who is like your better half / husband? WS is right, her meddling could have cause another death. Jung could have died. Then later she will blame it on WS??? WS has all the right to be angry with her disobeying him. She tend to forget that WS is no ordinary man anymore but the King and yet she can just do her thing without thinking of the repercussions? Yes her motive is okay but in a relationship as couple, there are things that she can't decide on her own, she need to discuss it with him first, especially since it concerns with his family. Most couple fight and argue with small stuff anyway. Her action & behavior clearly indicates her lack of respect for WS or perhaps using his affection toward her to get what she wanted. Still I don't think it is right. In times like this, I can say that HS is not going to be a good wife for GJ, as King. She's only good as lover... to help him ease his loneliness and relieve him from stress. :D
WS concerning YH: Good job WS.... she deserve to be treated that way. I just love what the writer is doing to these people in payment for their wickedness. I wish WS will resent her some more especially once he finds out her involvement in poisoning the CP. She need to get a taste of her own medicine. Nothing done in secret will remain secret. WS will eventually find it out.
WS concerning Wook: WS is just restraining himself about him but I think he had his long list already. I can see how mad he is in the next episode. I want his evil deeds exposed and severely punished. Mu is a good brother and trusted him so much. What he did to him is just unforgivable for me, no matter how much he wanted to sit on the throne. Perhaps he did the same to Yo, by mere looking at his symptoms, hallucination, etc. although I think he died from Heart attack. Wook being cunning disgust me regardless of how good he was in the beginning. The end doesn't always justifies the means. More so for selfish reasons.
What pleases me in this episode is LJK looking so STUNNING! How can a man be so pretty???? :heart: The lantern date is what I like the most... the one where he kissed HS in the cheek is just so adorable. Well not to mention his good acting, as usual. He's very consistent too, for being a great actor. IU too, looked very lovely in her clothes in this episode.
I'm behind on this week's episodes and after seeing everyone's comments it's making me feel…
I am having heart attack now, i just watched eps 18, coz i cannot help it, gosh it's so intense, actually i need to stop since i need to wait again for next episode gahh! i think it's better if u hold it until next week, so u won't feel miserable like me now LOL
ugh.. I actually have not watched eps 18 yet, only watched until eps 17 when Wook and Yeon hwa plotted to be queen. I still don't have the gut to continue watching.. plus when i knew the spoiler here about how Soo left So only because of the traitor.. I just hate her character to my bones now, she is the one who started it all, to make So's life so miserable, to provoke Wook and changed him to be someone evil like this because of his jealousy and the unclear news that Soo told him about So. He changed a lot. Now, only because of Chae Ryung, she left so?? How come? It's completely a different story with Lady Oh who defend Hae Soo because Hae Soo did not poison crown prince at all but she was blamed, but Chae Ryung, it is clearly her who poisoned the king because of her stupid love to Won. But how come Hae Soo does not have any brains at all to differentiate what is right and wrong? CHAE RYUNG KILLED THE KING for God sake! Why does she blame So for that???!!! wehroifjweoif infnifjifnsuifn ifjeiofui8rufo9ut958t94it98u9oi 9o @#$@$e#%e%$$%@!!!!! i HATE HER! Now i really think Yeon Hwa is better for So, she clearly knows what she wants, i guess Hae Soo deserves to die, really! coz she does not know how to play with the game of thrones! People use her to hurt So. She is really the source for all the misfortune that they have just like what Yo told her. Especially for 4th prince part. I don't dare to watch how sad 4th prince is, HOW??? Should i watch?? Or maybe i will watch after i get good news from u guys about the ending!
Scarlet heart ryeo is a drama similar to a wine. The first taste was not good and weird, but after that it gets better and better and now become so addictive, cannot wait for monday evening, ohh monday blue!!!
Reading more of the negative comments I think I'll end up dropping this drama after all. I'm 2 episodes in, but…
ahh too bad if u decided to drop it, but i think this show is one of the best three dramas i have seen so far, initially i got annoyed too by the ghost but there are many reasons behind her action that makes me sympathize with her!
I'm currently on hold, 6/16 episodes completed. I just can't seem to understand how I'm expected to believe this…
@Jemerald523 agree, initially chef dun like bong sun because she reminds him about his old self. But bong sun granny told him that she is actually a strong person and also have warm heart, she is like that because she can see ghost, ghosts keep disturb her. That's why many people think she is weird and she became depressed. But behind all those, she is a tough girl, she tries hard and she does not complain nor she is not a mean girl. She cooks and takes care of her granny too in the past. That story itself already makes me think that she is one of a kind. Chef just need to realized how good she is.Even cordon knows that she is a good girl.
hmm he always play the same character.. an orphan with angst, tragic past, killer chase after him & the girl, amnesia (forgotten memories), being a genius or having special abilities, hehe.
Never understood why this drama is doing so bad ratings wise in korea. It is really enjoyable. As an international…
Me neither. I think Koreans like a light hearted drama & Scarlet heart is supposed to have longer episode for what i can see, coz sometimes i agree that there is not enough development for other side characters beside main characters. If it has more episode, guarantee it will get high rating in korea too.
Oh My God! Lee Joon Gi acting soooo deserves an oscar, I am not someone who have low standard in movies &…
Yes, I hope he gets awards for this, I never ever cried because of a movie / drama before! Really! NEVER EVER!! Even from western movies, I felt mixed feelings (happy, sad) when i watched Schindler's list, Lion King, Great Gatsby, A Beautiful Mind (Russel Crowe), Les Miserables, Life is beautiful movies, (those are the saddest movies i have seen) but I DID NOT CRY.
But i cried when i watched wangso cried&laughed hysterically over the death of eun!! And I think Scarlet Heart is not even considered a sad show right? But his acting is really one of a kind, I mean, OMG! He really made my heart so moved with his so convincing acting. Lee Joon Gi is really the best actor I have ever seen. He should be given more chances for great high quality movies. Anyway, I like Leonardo DiCaprio since his movie in What's eating Gilbert Grape, he is one of the best intense actors i have seen too. I like both of them, leonardo and junki.
Wang so is someone who is actually kind hearted,
it's only the noble men & rich people who hate him and talk shit about him..
Here is the fact from wikipedia about wang so:
His first reform was in 956, when he weakened wealthy families by confiscating private slaves through the law of emancipation of slaves (노비안검법, 奴婢按檢法, Nobiangeombeop):[4][5] this reform won his government the support of the people, as freed slaves were commoners taken as prisoners of war, and also helped the economy because former slaves now had to pay taxes to the state like ordinary citizens through services provided on the land or premises of feudal lords.[2][3] He then reorganized and expanded military to face the Khitan and Jurchen, building twelve garrisons along the northeast and northwest borders, and replaced lords in the capital and in the provinces with officials appointed by the crown.[5] In 963 he set up relief centers in the capital.
With the institution of the national civil service examination in 958 (과거, Gwageo), Gwangjong was able to expel from the court people from powerful clans and replace them with civil officials recruited by merit, giving everyone, not only the rich and powerful people, the opportunity to work for the state. The civil service examination was suggested to the king by former Chinese envoy Ssanggi, and was based on the Tang civil service exam and the Confucian classics.[5] In 960, he introduced different colours for court robes to distinguish officials of different ranks.[6] Other actions undertaken to reinforce the royal authority were naming Goryeo an empire and himself Emperor, thus ending tributary relationships with China; calling Kaesong the Imperial Capital and Pyongyang the Western Capital, and adopting the era name "Gwangdeok" (光德, 광덕).[6]
Gwangjong's reforms were badly accepted by the nobles, especially by high military and civil officials who helped in the foundation of Goryeo; the king reacted by imprisoning those who dared to rebel against him and sentencing them to death.[2][6]
