The Moon Embraces The Sun E16 recap

What is it with sageuks and their lack of “skinship” that makes it so charming rather than infuriating. Just a subtle gesture like this says so much more than if he dipped her and kissed her “Gone with the wind” style.  Of course if Moon does what WBDS did and have one kiss scene between two characters that no one cared about after 29 episodes, then heads should roll, but for now, I’m content with the pace Moon is going so far. I really wanted a screencap of E16 video preview right before the kiss, but it keeps coming out fuzzy. Everyone is betting whether the kiss will happen tonight or at the end of the episode. If they don’t save it for next week, then it’s gonna be a long night cuz I will be abusing that replay button quite a bit.

* forget what I said earlier. definition of a preview – you show clips of what will be aired. not what will be aired sometime in the near future NEXT freaking week. arggghghghgh

But personally I thought this episode was DAEBAK anyway even without the kiss, but the kiss would have made it like 45-50% ratings for sure. KSH is acting his butt off in this drama. dang the guy is GOOD. I know exactly which screencap I want from tonight.  sorry – it’s another one of him. shocker huh?  :)

*Thank you semi-fly for the fastest torrents ever – 11:16pm is amazing. :)

The Moon That Embraces The Sun E15

Last time when I watched SKKS, from start to finish I was rooting for MJS to get the girl. It’s been my weakness to always root for the underdog. But somehow that didn’t happen in this drama. I think it’s cuz Hwon did such an excellent job of showing just how much he loves YW that I couldn’t picture her with M for even a second. Even though she is back to being YW, as far as her feelings for M goes, nothing has changed. Just like when they were kids, her heart still doesn’t belong to anyone except Hwon. That’s why I wish M would move on and let her go, but I guess for a few more episodes M has to reside in denial city thinking that he still has a chance. It’s bad enough his pride won’t lose to his brother twice so I really hope M doesn’t make things worse and stir up more trouble for himself or for his brother. In the end, the only one standing there alone again will be M. The biggest difference this time will be that he might compromise his relationship with his little brother along the way. Someone needs to teach M a lesson about cutting his losses and taking a step back, but I guess his foolish heart has to dictate his actions for a while longer before reality sinks in and knocks some sense into him.

Ojakkyo Brothers E58 Finale

The lines from the preview with TH and J came out, but they were placed in a different scene from the preview. I guess I was one of the few who felt numb and mellow at the end. Maybe our expectations were so high, there was no way for OB to have a perfect ending, but I would say they got 80% of it right. Extra brownie points cuz there was movement this time when TH and J kissed – their mouths finally moved – the miracle finally happened so that’s at least one cause to celebrate. Except his LMH wet hair look blocked most of it. what a cruel irony. I tried to get a screencap, but the hair got in the way.

Happy Together OB cast

Sort of wished there was a part two to this program cuz it went by too quickly. At least we got to see a little bit of how JW might be on 1N2D. You could really see how their personalities in real life sort of seemed similar to their characters for some of them while others are complete opposites. Just look at their slippers. Can’t believe we have to say goodbye to this cast this weekend.
*Wow Semi-fly – that is so generous of you to leave so many torrents. You really are too good to us – we have been spoiled by your kindness. Thank you so much.

The Moon That Embraces The Sun E14

Watching Hwon stare after Wol as she is being led away made me think he was feeling more and more lost with every step she took away from him. It’s like the life in him was sapped – all the happiness and warmth her presence brought to him was slipping out of his grasp. Part of me is thrilled to have an extension, but the other half is a bit wary since we all know what glitches in the story extensions seem to bring about to certain episodes. I am willing to give this drama the benefit of the doubt that it might make the best use of it. As long as we get more plot development in the love story that resembles some parts of the novel, I am all for it.

The Moon That Embraces The Sun E13

This is not the face you normally want to see a cute king make, but it sure sets the tone for what this episode was like -volatile, unpredictable, and disturbing. But behind all those emotional backdrops, there was still love and sacrifice shown by H, Wol, N, and M. I am a little nervous about what H set off tonight in regards to M. If you push someone who wants to remain still too close to the edge, there is no way left for him to maneuver around and he wont have any choice but to jump. All this time I was worried that Yoon and his buddies would be the ones to make M go to the dark side, but now I realize that H might play a hand too. It made me picture M as that tree that is trying not to be swayed by the wind and how much H feared that M would be cut down. Tonight H sort of broke off a major branch and something tells me this tree is not going to take that well.
