The sweets, the tears and the angst… all of it. It was still Hae Soo and 4th Prince So’s love journey for me. So what ending can you give when Scarlet Heart Ryeo started on a drowning woman who got transported back to a different era? I was not expecting a happy ending given that most of the characters were killed. Though Hae Soo took time to reciprocate Prince So’s love declaration it was so fulfilling because his faithfulness paid off. For that same reason, 4th Prince So and Hae Soo’s romance turned so meaningful because they were at each other’s side when they have no one beside them. When 8th Prince severed his relationship with Hae Soo, I wanted to take him out from the TV screen and castigate on how coward he was, opting not to use his heart and taking the easy way out.īut I think that it was a turning point of the heroine’s realization that he was let go by the only man she trusted. When the narrative turned all business hitting the halfway mark of the series, I found myself wanting to offer myself as a sacrificial lamb to make things better for 4th Prince So, who endured his agonizing relationship with his mother and loving Hae Soo one-sidedly. It also sadly and yet beautifully expressed the betrayals of a dysfunctional Royal family raising devious ways to claim the throne for them to use it in protecting the ones they love. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo touched the painstaking, unrequited love of a damaged prince to a woman who shared his pain without prejudice. It was a situation that might have weakened the drama, but because the essential character motivations were clearly drawn, as a viewer I enjoyed that feeble and vulnerable facets of the production. To balance the screen time of the supporting characters while threading their linked stories require a lot of effort from the actors in committing an earnest portrayal every moment they are captured by the frame.ĭespite the big cast, I am glad to say that the actors portraying Goryeo princes put their hearts out in sufficing the roles given to them.Īlbeit the tormenting emotional strain I got with Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, it was one of my 2016 favorites because I love that it became even more believable and fervent due to the plot’s instability and the main characters indecisiveness. She first develops connection to Wang Wook (Kang Ha Neul), but amidst the throne battle between the brothers, she falls in love with 4th Prince Wang So (Lee Joon Gi). She then gets transported back to Goryeo where she meets the Kingdom’s princes.
