the funny thing is i'm planning on doing the same thing TTscarlet heart was also one of my faves but with scarlet…
I didn't even like Scarlet Heart that much the first time I watched it. But this time around I'm strangely enjoying it a lot more? :D Maybe because I'm emotionally prepared for what's to come? And because I'm using it as a remedy for all the scars TRS caused me TT It's a way of feeling better for Sandeok couple cause at least they didn't suffer as much as SoSoo couple did. And by the way, although TRS is definitely the better Sageuk, there are a lot of parallels between the two! So I'm having quite some fun discovering them!
Does it make sense that Iām re-watching Scarlet Heart Ryeo right after this? Guess Iām trying to heal my broken heart by watching a tragedy I liked less and of which I was less attached to the characters? Someone send help š
I haven't watched ep 7 yet, but was the doctor revealed to be a spy? I had other theories for her character, it would kind of let me down if she were a North Korean spy too
Her brother dying changes everything :( sheās going to hate her father to death. It will draw them closer cause…
Yes and there's still plenty of time left. In 16 ep dramas, the romance is always already in full bloom by ep 8, making the rest all about unnecessary break-ups and you end up not caring about the couple anymore. I think Suho and Youngro's relationship will need another 5-6 episodes to change into a romantic one. It'd be inappropriate to establish it in a hostage situation, everyone would accuse the writer of romanticizing Stockholm Syndrome. By the way things are looking currently, he's catching feelings for her, but she will need a long time to regain her trust in him.
OMG NOOOO EUN YOUNG-U!!!! Sooho was a different type of ahole this ep. But his comrade is gonna get them killed…
Her brother dying changes everything :( sheās going to hate her father to death. It will draw them closer cause he also loves his sister a lot and will understand her. Also, their backgrounds are quite similar. They will both feel abandoned by their fathers. And they will have a mutual enemy.
I am not feeling the whole romeo and Juliet parallelism. It's a bit forced.
Well I guess itās only used as an intertextual reference to foreshadow the ending. Two young people dying as a consequence of their parentās mistakes. If the two sides had stopped fighting each other, no one would have been sacrificed. Naive/ innocent love and miscommunication were also big contributors to the tragic ending of R&J, so we can anticipate that too at some point. Or maybe the drama is trying to subvert those expectations. Weāll see!
I think the controversy only made people read too much into this. I also realized that now that I'm aware of the…
The acting is great and the plot is unpredictable. And the controversy made uns learn a little about recent Korean history cause we all looked it up. Guess thatās a win too šš¼
We saw Suho's sister already, she is played by another actress. Also she is younger than him, too young to be…
I feel you :D I have major trust issues and conspiracy theories ever since somebody mentioned that the song Hye-ryung was singing in the very first scene was the same that played on North Korea's radio channel signaling a change of instruction!

I agree, there's no way she loves that douchebag haha It's hard to tell what kind of relationship Suho and her had in the past, but it's safe to say that he doesn't consider her dangerous to him and his colleagues or else he wouldn't have let them get treated by her. And think about it, a team consisting of Suho, Youngro, Kang Moo, Ha Na, Cheong Ya and Pi Seung Hee would be so epic and I'm kind of guessing that's where the writer is headed
I love the court ladies here sooo much and I'm in love with how amazing the women of this drama are. Usually, the female protagonist's friend/s are only written as side-kicks with no personality and their sole purpose is to make the female lead aware of her feelings, but not here. They are supportive and lovely and the interactions between them are adorable. You can totally see why Deok Im struggles to choose between her simple life with her friends vs. becoming a concubine. That is some fine writing and I was not surprised to find out that a female director and a female writer were at work here. Thank you, for giving us female characters to melt for. I will hold them dear and miss them greatly!

I think it was once mentioned that she saved Nam Tae Il's life on a plane and that's how she won him over. I don't think she's a spy, she may be the daughter of the previous leader whom Nam Tae Il had killed in order to become president. Suho and her could have met overseas and its highly possible that they will join forces in the future for having the same enemy. But then again, this drama is so unpredictable, so we'll see!
the ship that waiting for Soo-Ho and his comrades in the sea with Porf. Han was encountered with S.Korean navy…
Because it's a secret operation that would make those in charge look really bad if it got known to the public. That's why they're paying North Korea such a big sum, cause it's risky and difficult. It's due to two things that everything goes wrong: 1) the ship gets caught because it is in a territory that is patrolled at night, so it's partly their fault for not being careful enough and 2) Sooho and his colleagues were supposed to join them by 10 o'clock, that's why they were lingering near the shore for longer than originally planned and 3) they could have gotten away with it had the professor not blown their disguise.
Wait- Dr.Chungya and Sooho might know each other? The way they both look so shocked when they had their eye contact..…
I think people would lose their sh*t if she turns out to be a NK spy too...also, the fact that she was not recognized by Sooho's colleagues makes her being from the North questionable. I'm still not sure whether Sooho used to live in Germany prior to coming to South Korea. But if he did, perhaps they know each other from there? It's just my guess. He sure seems to trust her.

The only officer who is shown to be just and fair is Kang Moo and he hasn't played that big of a role yet. But yeah, it is understandable that some people are angry. What is not understandable is how so many people jumped onto this controversy and made it blow out of proportion. It wasn't just victims and their families who spoke up, but tons of people who, after 2 years of the pandemic, are frustrated and bored to death, so they simply enjoy being part of a "movement". Nationalistic sentiments in South Korea played into this as well and let me tell you, they are super strong right now and that's not a good thing. And then there were international viewers and Blackpink-Antis who contributed a fair share of toxicity as well, just because. All of this made this controversy a hard pill to swallow + it affected the way this drama is watched, with everyone being overly critical and overanalysing it.
