1N2D S2E10 and E11 (only photos)

Since I am no longer recapping this, but JW came out shirtless for a split second, here are some of those photos. There were some great pics taken of the guys so I wanted to post those here as well. one funny part was when JW went out of his room to tell his hyung in a baby voice: ”there is a giant insect in my room” so SK comes over and looks at it and says to the insect “do I have to really kill you? I dont want to kill you.” after he tries to shoo it away with a pillow, he resorts to a spray and someone says to the insect ”I am sorry.”  JW tells the camera: I like the tent better.

Here are the photos:

Rooftop Prince E20

Just in case you missed what Fanderay wrote last night, here are my favorite parts: “The point is that their love is timeless, and will last an eternity. Even when they don’t know each other, they will know each other. Instead of thinking of it as one relationship coming to an end, I choose to think of it as two people discovering that their relationship can never end, and that they will always find each other.

I loved how so much of this episode revolved around the riddle, and how it so beautifully reflected on the entire drama and could be interpreted in so many ways. Throughout this entire show there have been other riddles for G, such as the truth behind the murder, and who he should love and trust. The answer to everything was Bo Yong, and there’s a sweet irony to that. He thought he was giving the riddle to her, but all this time it was he who needed to figure out that she was the key.”

Thanks to Fanderay for recapping with me and Semi-fly for her fast torrents. My gratitude to all of you who contributed over the weeks…

Rooftop Prince E19

Tonight’s episode is my reward for having faith. This writer really came through. hands down the best episode so far. I cried through it all. If love was ever palpable through a tv screen – we all felt it tonight between these two.

Oh and that second kiss was pretty perfect as well. pics are on the bottom of the page thanks to Semi-fly sticking with us and leaving super fast torrents.

1N2D S2E9

Daebak  Tonight’s main pic won’t be JW cuz I have to post TW “making out with SW for a split second.” OMG the most hilarious game ever played on 1n2d. Whoever came up with this idea is a genius and deserves a medal. I couldn’t breathe while watching that scene cuz I was laughing so hard tears ran down my face and I almost fell off my chair. I literally stopped typing cuz my brain shut down from laughter -even had to look away cuz my sides ached. What killed me was the little shiver SG made cuz he doesnt like doing this. So far on 1n2d there weren’t that many games TW was good at, but we found something he can ace. Leave it to TW to not only enjoy this, but be great at it.

Thanks to Semi-fly for her super fast torrents, Bird for JW clips, and SS for the preview for next week’s white water rafting. That’s JW wearing orange huh?

Rooftop Prince E18

OMG my heart – I bawled like crazy through that last scene…I am still shaking…It’s like even though you’ve guessed for weeks that this would happen, when it actually does, it’s different than when you imagined it. back then these characters were just getting to know each other. no one fell in love yet on the show, but we certainly did. Over time as they developed feelings for each other, the audience knew it would be difficult to see this couple say goodbye and have these guys go back to Joseon. That’s always been inevitable so we braced ourselves for that episode. I really thought it would be tonight, but what the writer chose to do instead just floored me. How could this happen. Wasn’t it enough that they have to go their separate ways? Why this?  I’m sitting here trying to grasp at straws, but there aren’t any. It was pretty clear what will happen next in that last scene. Omg – how do you brace for an impact that is going to knock you silly anyway.

Rooftop Prince E17

I think it’s time for some perspective. There are only 3 episodes left and we all know what that means. This is that time of the kdrama viewing experience when the show pulls out all the stops and goes all out. They either go for broke and just go nuts with the script or they rein in their crazy and leave us feeling somewhat satisfied. Wherever the story goes, it can’t be any crazier than what we’ve had so far. This all began with the premise that 3 guys and one prince time traveled from 300 yrs ago to present time. All these lucky coincidences and makjang was to be expected and came with the territory so there is no need to fret about it now. That was part of the price we paid for enjoying all the cute, romantic, and hilarity all these episodes. To be honest, I didn’t even realize there was so much of it till recently. I was too happy enjoying every episode and reveling in their joys too much to worry about their troubles. Every time you watch a drama, we have to get to this point where the fun and cute has to be put aside to deal with the inevitable ending and dealing with the bad guys.  From my experience, I’ve noticed that whatever the ending, not everyone is happy with it. Why? Cuz some of us just love these characters too much and saying goodbye happily or while pulling our hair out is still a goodbye and we just aren’t ready to let go yet. Even though RP seemed like it was headed for a fairy tale ending since we have a crown prince and crown princess in the equation, there is no way we all believed this would end well based on how it all began. Maybe by E20 the reality will be that there is no real happy ending on the screen, but in my mind, there already is cuz that’s what my heart believes.

Thank you Semi-fly for your quick torrents.

1N2D S2E8

This episode needs to come with a warning – take your motion sickness pills cuz the camera work bobbing up and down on that rocky boat will make you just as queasy as JW and SG. I was looking pretty green around the gills myself as I was recapping. There won’t be a single good photo of JW after he gets on that boat for a few hours cuz he only had one look – trying his hardest not to throw up on camera. When he ran late and the cast started the opening without him, I was having a minor heart attack going “where is JW?” I have to hand it to this PD. He really wants to show us the best views of Korea. This episode had the most gorgeous shots I’ve ever seen of Jejudo and some majestic looking creatures. When you read or see what they are, they will take your breath away. Even though JW didnt look so well in the last half, don’t miss this episode and watch for yourselves. It’s truly breathtaking. Lucky SK for getting a bird’s eye view.

* Thanks to Semi-fly, I can get some screencaps up for those who missed this.
