But day was too hot, and night too cold. All of creation was thrown into chaos, and the people in misery. It was then that a hero appeared and shot one sun and one moon out of the sky with arrows, and brought peace to the world.” This story is told by the queen dowager Kim Young-ae to one of her vassals, Lord Yoon Dae-hyung. She is the mother to King Seongjo, the current and fictional king. We are somewhere in the middle of the Joseon era, though since this drama is not based on real history, we aren’t given an exact date. The story about the two suns and moons is an illustration of the need for hero in times of trouble, and the queen dowager says meaningfully that they cannot just wait for a hero to appear. A veiled reference, then, to solving their own problems through their own means. She tells Lord Yoon to be the hero, because there can only be one sun in the sky; one must be eliminated. Nighttime. A group of masked men dart through the woods and to a residential neighborhood, dispersing to fulfill separate tasks One man sticks a yellow paper to a wall — a talisman, it looks like — and another buries a yellow pouch in a house’s yard. A frame job, perhaps? One masked intruder readies to assassinate his target in bed, but finds it empty. He’s surprised by a sword to the throat; the victim was prepared. He is identified as Uiseong-gun, or Prince Uiseong, the younger half-brother to King Seongjo. Ah. So here’s the threat the queen dowager needed eliminated, to protect her son’s interests. She had mentioned that the brothers had a good relationship, but in her mind the younger is dangerous, just by virtue of being close to the throne. Someplace else, a woman named Ahri — a shaman — wakes up with a gasp, filled with an ominous feeling. She knows “he” is in danger, and runs off to find him, ignoring the warnings of her shaman friend. Prince Uiseong fights back, although it’s only one of him against four assassins. He fends them off well, but is eventually felled and disarmed. Enter Lord Yoon, who faces him smugly. Uiseong is full of righteous anger, knowing full well that the king, his brother, will believe him over the shifty Lord Yoon. But there’s a solution for that, since Lord Yoon plans to kill him before he gets the chance to say anything. He adds that Uiseong’s good friend will be joining him on the other side, and we see that another nobleman is hanged in his home, a falsified suicide note left on his desk. Uiseong charges, Lord Yoon slices his throat, and the terrified shaman Ahri witnesses this all from just over the wall. She’s spotted and chased through the woods, finding herself cornered at the edge of a cliff. She slips and falls far below. The assassins check the base of the ravine and only find her official red hair sash. Ah, so she’s a palace shaman, part of the department called Seongsucheong. When the others are assembled, the head shaman notes that Ahri is missing, which identifies the runaway. Lord Yoon reports to the queen dowager and assures her that they’ll find Ahri. The queen dowager, oddly, is pleased, saying this is a stroke of fortune. Ahri was formerly a slave to Prince Uiseong’s household, so it’s possible they were involved. What if that woman desired her lover to become king? And what if she was manipulating him through some sort of magical power? It doesn’t matter that it’s not true, since the queen dowager can make all this true with her planted evidence. Furthermore, the head shaman is firmly under the queen’s thumb, and can be trusted to act for them. Uiseong and his murdered friend are labeled traitors, confirmed by the forged letter left at the friend’s house. The deaths are painted as suicides by guilt-stricken conspirators, and King Seongjo Ahn Nae-sang receives this report in disbelief. The head shaman is brought forth to read the symbols on the talisman. She’s been coached to lie, so she tells the king that it’s a call for the sun’s power, which is a poetic way of saying that they aspired to the throne. King = sun. Furthermore, she identifies the charm as Ahri’s handiwork. After wandering the woods, Ahri stumbles onto a path and crumples in the path of a traveling noblewoman’s entourage. The pregnant woman, Lady Shin, hurries to help her and orders Ahri put into the sedan chair. When they approach the city walls, they’re stopped by police officers on the lookout for the escaped traitor. The servant woman recognizes the drawing of Ahri, but the women sense she’s a good person in trouble and feign ignorance. Lady Shin hides Ahri in her skirts and refuses to exit by saying she’s about to give birth any day now and can’t manage. The officer lets them pass. He belatedly sees blood dripping from the back of the chair and orders them to stop. Lady Shin is quick-witted, though, and pretends she’s having baby trouble, and her servant reliably plays along, urging the lady to hurry home. Upon hearing who the lady’s family is, the officer is intimidated into compliance. Ahri is deeply grateful to the lady, and says that her baby girl is as beautiful as the moon. Lady Shin is pleased to hear that she’ll be having the daughter she wished for. As Ahri speaks, she sees visions in her mind’s eye of the child’s future glimpses of the girl being adorned in royal finery, of a moon, of a grave. Ahri is unsettled by the images, but doesn’t share what she saw. But she does fervently promise that she will do whatever she can to protect Lady Shin’s child. Ahri parts ways with the lady, but is soon captured and brought back to the palace, where she is tortured. Lord Yoon asks who the talisman was meant for, but of course she has no clue. She insists she didn’t write it, and when she is called a traitor, she grows righteous in her rage. She tells Lord Shin that if anybody is a traitor, it’s him for conjuring up false crimes. She addresses him so ferociously that Lord Shin is unnerved. Ahri “You think I am the only one who saw, don’t you? You think it will end if you just get rid of me, don’t you? You’re wrong, you villain — Heaven’s Moon was watching you. That man’s blood is not the only thing that soaked into your blade that night. The moonlight of that night seeped inside, too. Wait and see! One day your wicked deeds will be revealed under the moonlight! One day that moonlight will cut your own lifeline!” Ahri is tossed into prison to await execution. Her shaman friend, Nok-young, cries that she was foolish to let love drive her to Uiseong’s house that night. Ahri says neither one of them ever aspired to the throne, and entrusts Nok-young to protect a child in her stead. Being too close to the sun will result in disaster for the child’s entire family, so she must be protected from the sun. She urges Nok-young to protect her, but doesn’t give her a name. The next day, Ahri is taken to be drawn and quartered for her supposed crime. As she lies on the mat, she sees the sun in the sky, diverging into two. Another vision comes to her A smiling boy, a friendly brother, the girl again. She thinks, “Two suns, and one moon. I pray you all will remain safe.” As she dies, a baby is born. Lady Shin gives birth to her second child, named Heo Yeon-woo future Han Ga-in, and coos over the baby with the girl’s older brother, Yeom. Nok-young visits her friend’s grave, remembering her last wish. She looks up at the moon, which morphs into the sun, and when we pan down again, we are years later. At the palace, lavish festivities are prepared. A ceremony is being held today for the young scholars who have passed the civil service examination, who will give their bows to the king and receive a gift from him. Crown Prince Hwon is called to join the proceedings, but he’s not in his room. In a room far from the hubbub, we find a table — set with foods swiped from the main event — where the young crown prince studies a drawing of the palace grounds. He finds Eunwolgak, aka the Silver Moon Building, and sets out with his royal knapsack. Aw, he’s so cute, playing hooky. Lady Shin arrives at the palace with Yeon-woo in tow, her nose buried in a book. Not only is her father, Lord Heo, a high-ranking official who will be present at the ceremony, her brother Yeom is among those being honored. We see that nefarious Lord Yoon has now advanced in position as minister of the interior. There are two friends in particular among the scholars who merit our notice Yeom and Woon which, by the way, means Cloud. Get it?. They have a third friend, Yang-myung future Jung Il-woo, who isn’t here, but together the trio of buddies studied literature under her father. With Prince Hwon missing, one of his guardians sends palace guards to find him quickly. It seems this isn’t the first time Hwon has caused his guards trouble, and they’re eager to find the prince before the king discovers the escapade and has a fit. Meanwhile, the ceremony proceeds, and Lady Shin belatedly realizes that Yeon-woo has wandered off, distracted by a butterfly. Prince Hwon emerges from his hiding place and prepares for his escape over the palace wall. Just as he’s about to jump, though, he sees Yeon-woo wander into the courtyard and is struck dumb, slack-jawed. Ah, puppy love. Hwon falls off his ladder, knocking Yeon-woo to the ground with him. They lay sprawled together for a moment. The moment is marked by a shower of flower petals, and the wind blows away his parasol. They get up and look away awkwardly. Hwon demands, in his best I’m-a-man-almost voice, how she came to be here and is suspicious of her answer. She finds him equally suspicious and intends to call the guards on him — he’s stealing palace goods and trying to escape over the wall. Hwon stops her, stuttering a lame excuse about just looking for an exit. When he grabs his bag, though, everything comes tumbling out — teacup, sweets, calligraphy brush. Adorably, he fumbles for yet another excuse, but Yeon-woo calls out, “Thief!” Palace guards head over toward them, so Hwon grabs her hand and runs, giving us one of the flashes from Ahri’s vision. They escape the guards and stop running. Yeon-woo still intends to report him to the guards, which forces Hwon to tell her the truth to prove he’s not a thief. With a heavy sigh, he confides that he was actually leaving the palace to meet his hyung. Hwon explains that his hyung was born of a different mother, and a warm-hearted person, while in flashback we see two young boys playing in the palace. The brother excelled in his both his studies and martial arts, but because he was the child of a concubine and therefore illegitimate, he was unable to participate in the civil service examination, or advance in career, or even receive his father’s love. Hwon concludes, “The reason he has to live like this is because of me.” He explains that his hyung hasn’t sought him out in a long time, perhaps fearing their father’s anger. So he was on his way to find him himself. Yeon-woo asks why he blames himself, since his brother’s illegitimacy is nothing he could control. She quotes Confucius, and assures him that if his brother is as warm-hearted as he says, he won’t blame him either. Yeon-woo gets a little carried away complaining about the things in Joseon law that don’t make sense, showing a thoroughly egalitarian mindset as she wonders why slaves and aristocrats must be treated so differently. He prods, “Are you saying that the king’s politics are all wrong?” He teases, saying he’s the one who’d better call for authorities. They’re adorable. Yeon-woo pesters him to explain who he is and how he isn’t a thief, but he’s not willing to give up his identity. He almost blurts, “I am Joseon’s…!” but cuts himself off before finishing that thought. Lady Shin has been worried sick, so when she spots Yeon-woo, she grabs her in a relieved hug. Hwon hurries to the guard who’s with her and quietly instructs him not to say a thing, before he can call him “Highness” or otherwise blow his cover. Cute. As she’s leaving, a court lady gives Yeon-woo a note from the “Silver Moon Building’s young master.” Hwon has added the grumpy message that he’s angry and upset and she’d better watch her step when walking around at night. Oh, so cute. Hwon is soundly scolded by the king for his repeated attempts to leave the palace. He explains that all he wanted to do was meet “Yang-myung hyungnim.” He wants to study together while discussing things with his brother, rather than being told not to question anything. The king reacts angrily and punishes him with additional restrictions. The queen dowager meets with Minister Yoon, and the metaphor of the day is bonsai. She indicates the little tree she’s working on, saying that it’s harder than it looks, because if you miss your chance to cultivate a certain form, it becomes increasingly difficult to get the result you want. Hint, hint. Minister Yoon alludes to massive change in their future, a power shift. The queen dowager states that they need to find a proper instructor for the crown prince, because that person will be shaping the future of the nation. Minister Yoon has just the person for the job. The queen, Hwon’s mother, entreats the king to understand the prince and allow Yang-myung to be allowed to move into the palace. The king refuses, and the queen sadly tells Yang-myung’s mother a concubine that the answer was no and offers a few words of consolation. Yang-myung has been traveling and now returns to the capital. In the village, Yang-myung trades some fowl for money to buy his buddies presents and hears of someone selling a cure-all drug, which piques his curiosity. Another figure notes this with interest– it’s Nok-young, who receives the report that the medicine merchants are quacks. As she approaches the crowd, she is struck with Yang-myung’s appearance — for some reason, he reminds of the “two suns” description. Yang-myung sits in the crowd while a girl spouts all sorts of psychic predictions, as though she can tell what ails everybody. It helps that con men signal to each other surreptitiously and give her clues. Yang-myung tells the man next to him that he suffered a leg accident while hunting a boar quite probably lying in order to test out his hunch. Sure enough, when he gets to the front, the supposedly psychic girl prompted by signals declares that he has injured his leg. But then the girl adds, curiously, “I see a light in you.” Nok-young is startled — is this for real, then? The girl describes a beautiful yellow-red light. The quack medicine-dealer continues with the show, but now Yang-myung’s easy demeanor hardens and he accuses them of running a con, and abusing the child. It’s enough to convince the onlookers; they accuse the con artists of a scam and a fight breaks out. Yang-myung grabs the girl, advising Nok-young on his way out to call the palace guards here. Yang-myung runs away with the girl, but soon he’s surrounded by the con artists. The girl is grabbed out of his arms and taken away by the boss — who is then challenged by Nok-young, who demands the child be handed over. Behind her are palace guards. Yang-myung gets beat up for his interference, and the thugs laugh at his claim that he learned swordfighting from an expert. He gets knocked down, and suddenly his wimpy demeanor changes. Getting up easily, he flies at them and takes down the whole crew in a flurry of punches and flying kicks. That night, dressed in nobleman’s clothes, Yang-myung looks over the skyline and mentally addresses the king, telling him he’s returned from his travels safely. He asks for forgiveness, and wonders after the crown prince. Inside the palace, Hwon finds his every step dogged by a whole gaggle of guards, assigned to keep a close watch on him. As he looks up, a shower of flower petals rains down on him, which makes him think of the flowers that fell when he was with Yeon-woo. He muses, “If you knew I was the prince, I’d hear a lot more nagging. Although I suppose I won’t have reason to see you again.” But just then, he sees the flyaway parasol hovering up above in the air. A message? A sign? At home, Yeon-woo rereads the note from Hwon. There are two sayings written there, and while Yeon-woo understands what they mean literally, she puzzles over the actual message. One saying says, “If you draw it, it’s round. If you write it, it’s sharp.” The other one says, “The rabbit lives, the rooster dies.” Yeon-woo is served by a young slave named Seol future Yoon Seung-ah, whose name means Snow. Yeon-woo asks Seol about the rabbit-rooster riddle, and Seol’s prosaic answer is no help “If the rooster dies, who’ll wake us in the mornings?” Outside, Yang-myung comes to Yeon-woo’s house and leaps up onto the wall, where he sits. In the distance he sees Yeon-woo emerging from the house into the courtyard. She holds up the message cloth in the air, then sighs — she’d hoped the moonlight might reveal some hidden characters. But now she starts to put the clues together, excited. It’s not rabbit/rooster, but “Born in the morning, dies in the evening.” And the other clue — what’s round in a drawing, but sharp-edged when you write it? It’s what Hwon had started to say before cutting himself off. He’d declared, “I am this nation’s…” She realizes the answer “…sun.” Ergo, he is the prince. In the palace, Hwon wonders, with hope, if they might be able to meet again after all. At the same time, Yeon-woo sits down in shock and thinks how relieved she is that they won’t have to. And sitting on the wall, Yang-myung thinks, “Good to see you again, Heo Yeon-woo.” COMMENTS All in all, a solid opening. The drama is definitely well-made, with strong acting, wonderful child actors, and gorgeous visual appeal. I can see why it shot to first-place standings off the bat. It wasn’t the most exciting first episode ever, though, and to be honest I found myself thinking that this all seemed very familiar. The players are different, but the political conspiracy, the framed traitors, the illegitimate half-brother, the childhood sweethearts, the birth prophecy — it’s all been done before. And all in fairly recent shows, no less. You can argue that all historical dramas have some configuration of these elements, but the good ones find a way to make them fresh; Moon/Sun’s handling isn’t quite there yet. What makes this drama potentially different rather than Sageuk Remix 2012 is the fantasy aspect, as well as making a young king its focus. Neither has happened yet since Episode 1 was about establishing the world, so I’m definitely eager to see how things unfold from here. I’m still not sure how the fantasy aspect will play into the story, and while it makes me wary, it’s also something I want more of. If you’re going to do it, might as well really go for it. It doesn’t have to be quite as blatant as in Legend, but I think it’s got to be more than just a simple moon-sun symbology, invoked ad infinitum. That could get tiresome. I’m not gonna lie, I was and am a little disappointed that we have to wait for so long — weeks! plural! — to get our adult cast in place, even though I understand why that must be so in sageukland. And if we must have child actors, at least we’re working with some pros, who have accumulated quite a bit of experience in the genre. To wit Playing Hwon is Yeo Jin-gu who has grown up so much! His voice has dropped!, always wonderful in everything he’s done, which includes Tree With Deep Roots, Warrior Baek Dong-soo, Giant, Iljimae, and Ja Myung Go. As Yeon-woo, there’s Kim Yoo-jung who may even have him beat in number of sageuk projects with Kye Baek, Iljimae, Gumiho Tale of the Fox’s Child, Dong Yi, Tamra the Island, and Painter of the Wind on her resumé. And Yang-myung is played by Lee Min-ho — he might want to think about a stage name — who’s done Kye Baek, Thorn Birds and Sungkyunkwan Scandal. I’m sort of trusting that this drama is going to be great once the story really gets going and the adults take over, based on the quality of the execution, the reputation of the novel and its writer, and the strength of its cast. The plot, however, doesn’t have me hooked yet. Taken alone, this episode wasn’t that exciting, but it doesn’t diminish my excitement for the series as a whole. I’m definitely still onboard and looking forward to future episodes.

Yang Myung menarik Wol dan bertanya apakah Wol ingat padanya. Wol terpana. Pengawal yang bertugas membawa Wol bertanya siapa Yang Myung. Ia memerintahkan Yang Myung ditangkap. Tapi Yang Myung berteriak berani-beraninya mereka menyentuhnya, dia adalah Pangeran Yang Myung. Pengawal itu buru-buru memberi salam. Yang Myung kembali bertanya pada Wol apakah Wol ingat padanya. Ia adalah orang yang pernah Wol temui di kota. Belum sempat Wol berkata apa-apa, shaman Jang muncul dan menyuruh Yang Myung melepaskan Wol. Ia memerintahkan para pengawal membawa Wol. “Tunggu!” seru Yang Myung. Tapi shaman Jang berdiri menghalanginya. Wol dibawa oleh para pengawal. “Siapa kau?” tanya Yang Myung pada shaman Jang. Hwon menunggu kedatangan Wol. “Mungkinkah…….” pikir Hwon. Ia melihat Wol memasuki kamarnya. Hwon menatapnya dengan tajam. Shaman Jang menyuruh Yang Myung pergi, “Kau tidak boleh melakukannya.” “Apa yang tidak boleh kulakukan?” tantang Yang Myung. Shaman Jang berkata Wol hanya seorang jimat penyerap energi jahat. Bagaimana bisa Yang Myung menaruh perasaan pada seorang jimat selembar kertas. Yang Myung berkata ia juga tidak lebih dari selembar kertas jadi itu tidak masalah. “Ini adalah takdir terlarang,” kata shaman Jang. “Siapa yang memilih takdir seperti itu!!” kata Yang Myung marah. “Sebagai seorang shaman, hamba menyampaikan apa yang diperintahkan oleh para dewa.” “Itu bukan keputusan para dewa. Itu keputusanku.” Yang Myung beranjak pergi. Shaman Jang berseru bukan hanya Yang Myung tapi Wol juga dalam bahaya. Shaman Jang berkata Wol bisa menjadi pemicu perang, tidak bisakah Yang Myung melihatnya mungkin jika Hwon dan Yang Myung sama-sama menyukai Wol maka akhirnya bisa memicu peperangan. “Tolong jangan temui dia lagi. Tolong jangan bersikap bodoh,” pinta shaman Jang. Shaman Jang meminta Yang Myung menjauhi Wol jika Yang Myung memiliki sedikit perasaan pun pada Wol. Yang Myung menatap shaman Jang dengan marah. Woon sepertinya mendengar percakapan mereka dan menarik nafas panjang. Hwon berteriak memerintahkan Wol menjawab pertanyaannya. Hwon bertanya di mana Wol dilahirkan. Wol berkata ia dengar ia dilahirkan jauh dari kota. Hwon bertanya apakah Wol tinggal di Onyang sepanjang hidupnya. Wol menjawab ia mengikuti ibu angkatnya ke berbagai tempat. “Di mana orang tua dan saudara-saudaramu?” “Hamba tidak punya. Mereka yang tumbuh bersama dengan hamba adalah keluarga hamba.” “Jadi kau seorang yatim piatu?” Sambil menahan kesedihannya, Wol berkata seseorang shaman harus melepaskan masa lalunya untuk menjadi sorang shaman. Jadi ia tidak ingat masa lalunya. Hwon berkata kalau begitu Wol bukan yatim piatu awalnya, apakah Wol ingat wajah orang tua dan saudara-saudaranya. “Ketika seorang shaman menerima kemampuan dari langit, ia harus melupakan masa lalunya. Jadi hamba tidak ingat atau memikirkan masa lalu hamba,” Wol mulai menangis. “Kau lupa semua masa lalumu?” tanya Hwon tertarik. Wol membenarkan. “Kalu begitu patahkan mantranya. Dan cobalah mengingat masa lalumu! Di mana kau dulu tinggal dan siapa namamu sebelum kau menjadi seorang shaman!” “Yang Mulia,” ujar Wol frustrasi karena ditanyai terus menerus. “Kapan kau memperoleh bakatmu? Dari siapa dan di mana? Apakah aku ada di dalam masa lalumu?!” “Tolong hentikan!” seru Wol. Hwon tertegun. “Hamba mohon hentikan sekarang. Tolong tarik semua pertanyaan itu. Walau Yang Mulia terus menanyakan pertanyaan itu, hamba tidak bisa memberikan jawaban yang Yang Mulia inginkan. Hamba…bukan orang seperti Yang Mulia inginkan. Hamba tidak tahu seberapa besar kemiripan kami, tapi jika Yang Mulia masih banyak pertanyaan, tolong tanyakan para orang itu.” Hwon terdiam. Shaman Jang mengusir Janshil. Janshil memohon ampun tapi shaman Jang memarahinya. “Jika kau memang tidak mematuhiku mengapa kau kembali setelah melanggar?” “Aku tidak punya tempat untuk dituju, ibu angkat…jadi tolong jangan usir aku keluar” isak Janshil. Shaman Jang berkata ia sudah memperingatkan Janshil untuk tidak menggunakan kekuatanya demi kepentingan pribadi. “Bagaimana bisa….bagaimana bisa kau tak pernah mematuhiku! Kau…bukan lagi shaman di tempat ini jadi keluar dari Seongsucheong sekarang juga!” Shaman Jang berbalik membelakangi Janshil. Janshil berteriak-teriak meminta ampun. Seul berusaha membela Janshil. “Aku melakukannya karena eoraboni Yang Myung sangat menyedihkan. Sekali saja, hanya sekali saja aku ingin memberi sesuatu padanya. Yang Mulia memiliki segalanya…tapi eoraboni…” Shaman Jang memelototi Janshil. Janshil menutup mulutnya, sadar bahwa ia baru saja mengungkit Hwon matahari. Sementara itu Yang Myung berjalan kembali ke kota sambil berpikir apakah Wol juga lebih dulu bertemu dengan Hwon. Apakah Wol juga memilih Hwon seperti Yeon-woo? Dengan murka shaman Jang menyuruh Janshil keluar sekarang juga. Janshil terisak. Tapi tiba-tiba ia seperti kerasukan seuatu. Ia berdiri dan menegur shaman Jang. “Ibu, mengapa? di sini Janshil memanggil shaman Jang dengan sebutan eomeoni padahal biasanya ia memanggil dengan sebutan shimu-nim. Mengapa kau selalu menyuruhku hidup hanya untuk orang lain saja?” Shaman Jang tampak tertarik. Yang Myung mengunjungi ibunya di kuil. Selir Park heran mengapa Yang Myung mengunjunginya malam-malam begini. Yang Myung balik bertanya apa yang ibunya lakukan, berdoa malam-malam. Selir Park berkata seperti biasanya ia mendoakan kesehatan Hwon. Yang Myung menarik nafas kesal. “Pangeran Yang Myung,” panggil ibunya heran. “Untuk sekali saja, sebelum menyebut nama Yang Mulia, bisakah Ibu menyebut namaku lebih dulu?” Selir Park menegur Yang Myung yang telah berbicara tidak sepatutnya. “Ini semua omong kosong. Lupakan! Pendam! Mengalah! Jangan goyah! Ibu, apakah Ibu tidak lelah dengan semua ini?” “Mengapa Pengeran seperti ini?” tanya selir Park khawatir. “Sekali saja…sekali saja…tidak bisakah sekali saja ibu mengatakan kau bisa melakukan apapun yang kau inginkan, kau boleh serakah,” kata Yang Myung sambil menangis. Selir Park hanya diam. “Mulai sekarang aku tidak akan hidup untuk orang lain lagi,” ujar Yang Myung dengan penuh tekad. “Tersenyum saat aku ingin tersenyum. Marah ketika aku ingin marah. Mencuri apa yang kuinginkan. Begitulah aku akan hidup!” kata Janshil, seperti menyambung perkataan Yang Myung. Wol kemabli ke Seongsucheong dan bingung melihat situasi di sana. Janshil menghampiri Wol dan memegang lengannya. “Pergilah denganku…ikutlah denganku… Jika orang itu aku, aku bisa melindungimu. Jika orang itu aku, aku tidak akan membiarkanmu pergi seperti ini seperti Yeon-woo. Jika orang itu aku….” Shaman Jang menarik Janshil dan memegangi kepala Janshil. Ia memerintahkan Janshil menutup mulutnya. Janshil tersadar dan bingung melihat shaman Jang, “Ibu angkat shimu-nim…..” Sepertinya Janshil dirasuki keinginan Yang Myung yang terdalam. Semua itu adalah isi hati Yang Myung yang selama ini terpendam dan sekarang meledak. Hmmm..menarik…walau agak ngeri juga…apakah Yang Myung akan menjadi pemeran antagonis? Noooooo!!!! teringat Bidam T_T Shaman Jang memerintahkan Janshil diseret keluar. Janshil diseret keluar sementara ia terus berteriak memanggil shaman Jang. Wol bingung dan bertanya mengapa shaman Jang seperti ini. Shaman Jang mengingatkan siapapun yang berani membawa Janshil masuk ke istana akan dihukum dengan hukum spiritual tampaknya mengerikan. Wol tidak peduli dan berbalik menuju pintu. Shaman Jang menahannya dan bertanya apakah Wol juga mau diusir. Wol berusaha menenangkan shaman Jang. Ia berkata Janshil juga belum bisa mengendalikan kekuatan sama seperti dirinya. Shaman Jang tidak mau berdebat dan menyuruh Wol beristirahat. Wol masih hendak bicara tapi Seul menahannya. Ia berkata shaman Jang hanya memberi Janshil pelajaran. Wol khawatir karena Janshil tidak memiliki tempat tujuan dan di luar udara sangat dingin. Seul yakin Janshil akan kembali dan shaman Jang akan menerimanya lagi, ini bukan pertama kalinya terjadi hal seperti ini. Tapi Wol masih merasa cemas. Wol menemui shaman Jang. Shaman Jang berkata jika ini mengenai Janshil maka Wol sebaiknya tidak bicara. “Ibu angkat, aku akan meninggalkan Seongsucheong.” Shaman Jang bertanya apa Wol sedang mengancamnya. Wol berkata ini bukan ancaman. Kalau begitu apa kau benar-benar ingin meninggalkan Seongsucheong, tanya shaman Jang. Wol berkata ia akan melakukan apa yang pernah diperintahkan shaman Jang padanya yaitu melarikan diri dengan Seul. Ia merasa baik dirinya, Seul, maupun Janshil tidak cocok berada di istana. “Mengapa kau sampai pada keputusan ini?” tanya shaman Jang. Wol tak menjawab. Shaman Jang kembali bertanya mengapa Wol sampai memutuskan ingin pergi. “Apa yang ibu angkat katakan benar. Aku seharusnya tidak berada di sisi orang itu. Aku tidak menjaganya.. Aku menyadari tidak ada yang bisa kulakukan untuknya. Aku berusaha untuk menolongnya melepaskan kesedihannya, dan tidak membuatnya bingung. Tapi sepertinya kehadiranku malah membuatnya bingung. Orang yang ia butuhkan bukan aku. Akan lebih membantunya jika aku pergi,“ kata Wol sambil menahan tangisnya. Kasim Hyung mnyarankan agar Hwon beristirahat karena Hwon tidak tidur semalaman. Tampaknya semalam ia terus memandangi surat-surat yang ditinggalkanYeon-woo dan Wol. Ia ingat Wol memintanya bertanya pada Yeon-woo. Bagaimana bisa aku bertanya pada orang yang sudah mati, kata Hwon dalam hati. Tiba-tiba ia membaca “Ayah akan segera membawakan obat. Dan hamba tidak bisa bertemu dengan Yang Mulia lagi.” Hwon mengucapkan isi surat Yeon-woo bagian itu dan bertanya pada Woon apa artinya. Woon berkata bukankah ia memperkirakan bahwa ia akan mati. Hwon berkata awalnya juga ia berpikir begitu tapi jika dipikirkan lagi bukankah artinya ayahnya membawakan dia obat yang akan membuatnya mati. Kasim Hyung berkata ayah Yeon-woo dikenal sebagai orang yang berhati hangat. Bagaimana bisa ia melakukan hal itu pada anaknya. Itulah sebabnya terasa janggal, kata Hwon. Dan lagi bukan hal itu satu-satunya yang aneh. Yeon-woo adalah anak yang sehat. Mengapa anak yang sehat tiba-tiba mati, ujar Hwon. “Ayah bahkan tidak menginvestigasi kematiannya,” ujarnya. Kasim Hyung bertanya apa yang Hwon curigai. Hwon berkata kematian Puteri Mahkota bukan kematian yang biasa . Woon dan kasim Hyung terkesiap. Bukankah itu berarti Menteri Heo membunuh puterinya sendiri, tanya kasim Hyung. Hwon bertanya pada Woon apakah Yeom mengetahui sesuatu tentang obat yang diminum Yeon-woo. Woon berkata Yeom tidak tahu apa-apa karena saat itu ia berada di luar kota. Woon berkata Yeom merasa bersalah karena tidak berada di samping adiknya saat adiknya tiada. Hwon berkata menanyakan hal ini sekarang pada Yeom akan menjadi hal yang kejam. Yeom mengemasi barang-barangnya. Sepertinya ia diperintaahkan ke suatu tempat oleh Hwon. Hwon berkata ia memberi Yeom liburan ke distrik Yeongnam, dan tidak ada maksud apa-apa di balik perintahnya. Tapi sepertinya Yeom curiga. Ibu Yeom masuk dan bertanya apakah Yeom sudah membereskan barang-barangnya. Ia berkata jika Yeom pergi sekarang maka ia baru bertemu Yeom lagi sebulan lagi. Ia bertanya apakah Yeom sudah mengucapkan salam perpisahan pada Puteri. Belum, jawab Yeom. “Ckckck, cepat temui dia dan hibur dia,” Ibu Yeom menasihati. Puteri Min-hwa sedang menangis ketika Yeom masuk. Yeom duduk di sebelahnya namun Min-hwa menunduk tidak mau melihat suaminya. “Mengapa kau menghindariku lagi? Apa kau tidak akan memperlihatkan wajahmu sebelum aku pergi? “ Min-hwa berbalik menghadap suaminya dan bertanya apakah ia tidak bisa ikut. Yeom berkata ia pergi atas perintah Hwon dan lagi perjalanan itu tidak akan baik bagi Min-hwa. Min-hwa tidak tahu kapan akan melihat suaminya lagi. Yeom berjanji akan cepat kembali karena Min-hwa menunggunya. Ia bertanya mengapa Min-hwa menangis seperti itu. “Karena aku mengeluh dan banyak bertanya padamu, pasti kau membenciku, bukan?” “Aku tidak membencimu.” “Karen aku, kau tidak bisa menjalankan tugas dan terpenjara di rumah. Kau pasti marah, kan?” selidik Min-hwa lagi. “Aku tidak marah.” “Pembohong,” gumam Min-hwa. Yeom menarik nafas lalu menggenggam tangan Min-hwa, “Puteriku, kau adalah penyelamat keluarga ini. Setelah Yeon-woo kami pergi Min-hwa terlihat tak tenang mendengar nama Yeon-woo disebut dan kami tidak bisa bahagia mengenai apapun, bukankah kau yang membawa tawa dalam keluarga kami. Karena itu saja, aku sangat berterima kasih.” “kalau begitu kau tidak akan mencampakkan aku?” “Mengapa kau berkata begitu?” Min-hwa meminta Yeom berjanji. Yeom berkata bukankah ia sudah berjanji demi nyawanya. Apakah Min-hwa akan percaya jika ia berjanji sekali lagi. Min-hwa menggeleng. Ia berkata walau Yeom tak memberinya apapun, ia akan percaya Yeom tidak akan mencampakkannya. Ia juga percaya Yeom akan segera kembali. Jadi walau air mata mengalir setiap malam, ia akan bersabar and menunggu. Yeom tersenyum dan menghapus air mata Min-hwa. Meleleh deh Min-hwa^^ Para pejabat membicarakan kepergian Yeom. Si menteri penjilat mengomel mengapa Yeom yang diutus berjalan-jalan ke sana. Seharusnya ia yang ditugaskan. Di sana banyak pemandangan yang indah juga banyak gisaeng yang cantik dan bertubuh indah, yang sayang untuk dilewatkan. Menteri yang satu berkata jika Yeom seperti menteri penjilat hanya mencari kesenangan maka mereka tidak perlu khawatir mengenai kepergian Yeom. Menteri yang lain menduga Hwon mengirim Yeom untuk mengumpulkan para sarjana di distrik itu. Yoon tersenyum meremehkan. Yoon bertanya bagaimana dengan tugas yang diperintahkannya. Menteri itu berkata ia sudah mempersiapkan dokumen untuk menjatuhkan Yeom. Menteri penjilat berkata mereka tidak bisa menjatuhkan Yeom karena ia orang bersih. Yoon berkata mereka menyukai Hwon yang sekarang tapi ia terlalu banyak keinginan. Mereka harus mematahkan keinginannya sekali saja agar Hwon tahu apa itu politik. Dalam rapat, para menteri meminta Hwon mencabut perintah pada Yeom. Hwon berkata rumor menyebar dengan cepat ,memang apa masalahnya ia mengirim Yeom berjalan-jalan. Seorang menteri sekutu Yoon berkata Yeom tidak boleh terlibat politik sebagai seorang uibin namun akhir-akhir ini banyak yang membicarakannya pendukung. Hwon berkata Yeom telah duduk berdiam diri begitu lama. Ia merasa bersalah padanya hingga mengirimnya melakukan perjalanan. Menteri lain meminta Hwon mengirim Yeom ke tempat lain karena tempat yang akan dituju Yeom mungkin berbahaya. “Mengapa? Apa Menteri khawatir uibin akan menghimpun para cendekiawan yang tersebar di sana untuk alasan politik?” tanya Hwon sinis. “Kami hanya mengkhawatirkan keselamatan uibin, YangMuila,” Yoon angkat bicara. ”Keselamatan uibin?” Yoon berkata bagi Hwon mungkin ini perjalanan tak berarti tapi tidak begitu bagi mereka yang menginginkan kekuasaan lebih. Jika mereka melibatkan Yeom untuk mendapatkan kekuasaan bagi mereka sendiri… “Maka uibin akan berada di tengah konflik politik?’ tanya Hwon tenang. “Yang Mulia tidak akan tahu apa yang akan terjadi bila begitu banyak orang yang terlibat,” kata Yoon dengan nada memperingatkan. Hwon tertawa dan berkata ia mendengar bel berdering di telinganya, bahwa ia adalah Raja boneka yang hanya mengikuti keinginan para menterinya. Menteri penjilat buru-buru membungkuk dan berkata mereka yang berkata seperti itu harus dihukum mati. Tapi Hwon malah tertawa. Rakyat berbicara seperti itu adalah hal yang biasa, bukankah para menteri yang berbicara seperti itu di belakangnya. Menteri penjilat langsung ciut. Yoon terlihat kesal. Hwonm eninggalkan ruang sidang dengan marah. Ia berkata dalam hatinya, buka saja mereka telah mematahkan sayap Yeom, sekarang mereka mengancam keselamatannya. Ia tiba-tiba behenti berjalan. “Woon-ah,” panggilnya, “Aku harus membuat keributan lagi..” Hown masuk ke ruang arsip negara tempat laporan para rakyat disortir dan disimpan. Hwon melempar-lempar laporan di tempat itu. Ia berkata sejak kedatangannya terakhir ke tempat itu seharusnya lebih banyak laporan yang diberikan padanya mengapa justru makin berkurang. Menteri yang bertugas di tempat itu adalah salah satu kroco Yoon. Ia berusaha menjelaskan. Tapi Hwon malah semakin marah dan melempar-lemparkan laporan-laporan lainnya ke lantai. Ketika perhatian semua orang teralih pada Hwon, Woon menyelinap masuk ke ruangan lain dan mengambil beberapa laporan yang ada hubungannya dengan pemilihan Puteri Mahkota. Woon keluar dan diam-diam menyerahkan laporan itu pada kasim Hyung. Kasim Hyung memberi isyarat pada Hwon dengan tersenyum. Hwon pun pergi dari situ, meninggalkan sang menteri yang kebingungan. Hwon memeriksa buku-buku laporan itu tapi tidak menemukan hal yang mencurigakan. Ia memukul meja dengan kesal. Tadinya ia berharap menemukan detil mengenai kejadian 8 tahun yang lalu saat Yeon-woo meninggal. Sekarang ia semakin curiga. Waktu itu Yeon-woo sangat sehat mengapa ia mendadak sakit. “Mengapa…mengapa harus pada saat itu? Mengapa?” tanyanya frustrasi. Bo-kyung mendapat laporan dari mata-matanya. Dayang itu berkata ia tidak begitu yakin tapi ia mendengar Hwon mengjajukan banyak pertanyaan pada Wol tapi Wol menjawab betapapun miripnya ia dengan orang itu tapi ia bukanlah orang itu. Jika Hwon mempunyai banyak pertanyaan lebih baik Hwon menanyakan langsung padanya. Bo-kyung merasa tak tenang. Bo-kyung berjalan melewati bekas kediaman Yeon-woo. Ia berhenti karena mendengar suara seorang wanita menangis. Ia bertanya pada para dayangnya apakah mereka mendengar suara tangisan. Mereka menggeleng. Bo-kyung terlihat takut. Ia berjalan ke kediaman Ibu Suri Yoon. Ia bertanya pada dayang Ibu Suri apakah ada orang yang sedang menemui Ibu Suri. Dayang Ibu Suri berkata Ibu Suri sedang menemui shaman dari Seongsucheong. Shaman Jang berbicara dengan Ibu Suri. Sesuai dengan perintah Ibu Suri, ia sudah memajukan tanggal malam pernikahan Hwon. Ibu Suri tersenyum puas. Ia memuji kehebatan Wol dan jika malam pernikahan Hwon sukses, ia bermaksud memberi hadiah pada Wol. Shaman Jang berkata ada yang ingin ia bicarakan mengenai hal itu. Ia berkata mereka tidak perlu lagi menggunakan jimat manusia. Ibu Suri Yoon khawatir, mengapa shaman Jang ingin berhenti saat sudah mendekati tanggal yang ditentukan. Shaman Jang beralasan kesehatan Hwon akan membaik dengan sendirinya mulai sekarang walau tanpa jimat apapun. Jika Hwon membiarkan jimat manusia terus berada di sisinya maka semuanya akan berbalik. Ibu Suri Yoon khawatir kesehatan Hwon akan kembali memburuk. Shaman Jang berkata yang terpenting sekarang adalah menjaga energi baik di sekeliling Hwon juga sebagai energi untuk memperoleh bayi yang sehat. Menurut shaman Jang yang menurutku cuma akal-akalannya saja, jimat untuk menyerap penyakit berbeda dengan jimat untuk membantu mendapat bayi yang sehat. Jadi mulai sekarang ia akan menggunakan jimat lain untuk membantu Raja dan Ratu. “Apakah ada jimat seperti itu?” tanya Ibu Suri. “Itu adalah jimat untuk membantu mereka tidur bersama,” shaman Jang meyakinkan. Ibu Suri percaya dengan kata-kata shaman Jang dan menyuruhnya melakukan apa yang perlu asalkan mereka mendapat pewaris yang sehat. Shaman Jang tersenyum. Saat shaman Jang keluar, Bo-kyung sudah menenunggunya. Shaman Jang memberi salam pada Bo-kyung. Dengan tersenyum. Bo-kyung berkata ia mendengar puteri shaman Jang membantu meningkatkan kesehatan Hwon. Shaman Jang berterima kasih atas pujian Bo-kyung. Bo-kyung bertanya apakah Wol mirip dengan anak yang sudah mati it, Heo Yeon-woo. Shaman Jang bertanya mengapa Bo-kyung bertanya demikian. Bo-kyung berkata tidak ada rahasia di istana ini. Bo-kyung berkata Hwon adalah pria yang tidak pernah melirik wanita dalam hidupnya tapi ia menerima Wol di sisinya. Shaman Jang mendengar nada kemarahan dalam perkataan Bo-kyung. “Apakah anak itu benar-benar mirip?” tanya Bo-kyung. “Di mataku, ia hanya anak biasa.” Bo-kyung berkata ia ingin melihat Wol suatu hari nanti dan memastikannya sendiri. Shaman Jang tiba-tiba berkata pipi Bo-kyung tidak terlihat baik. Bo-kyung menyentuh pipinya. “Sejak kapan kau mendengar suara oarng menangis di gedung Bulan Perak gedung kediaman Yeon-woo?” tanya shaman Jang dengan wajah pura-pura khawatir. Tangan Bo-kyung gemetar. Ia menatap shaman Jang dengan takut. Shaman Jang tersenyum. Ia meminta Bo-kyung tidak khawatir karena Wol akan segera meninggalkan istana. Dan juga Bo-kyung akan segera bersama dengan Hwon. Semuanya akan berjalan sesuai keinginan Bo-kyung. Shaman Jang melirik ke kediaman Ibu Suri. Oleh karena itu Bo-kyung tidak perlu membicarakan masalah ini lebih lanjut dengan Ibu Suri membicarakan kemiripan Wol dengan Yeon-woo. Bo-kyung tahu ini adalah ancaman tapi ia juga senang keinginannya akan terwujud. Sahan Jang memberitahu Wol, ia boleh meninggalkan istana atas ijin Ibu Suri. Wol diam saja. Shaman Jang melihat ekspresi Wol dan bertanya mengapa Wol terlihat kecewa padahal ini adalah keinginan Wol sendiri. Wol berkata ia hanya merasa telah banyak menyulitkan shaman Jang. Shaman Jang meminta Wol mengingat itu baik-baik dan berkata saat matahari terbit keesokan harinya, ia harus pergi bersama Seul. Wol mengerti. Wol menerima surat dari Janshil “Kak Wol, ini Janshil. Kakak pasti khawatir, bukan? Saat ini berkat seseorang yang baik hati, aku hidup dengan baik. Orang itu sangat keren dan tampan. Dia adalah gentleman dari gentleman. Dia adalah orang yang bebas dan juga pejuang yang tangguh. Atas pertolongannya, aku tinggal di sebuah penginapan di kota. Jadi aku minta tolong, bisakah kakak membawakan pakaianku. Tapi rahasiakan ini pada ibu angkat. Ah, juga jangan bawa kak Seul. Ketika aku melihatnya, kurasa ia berada di pihak ibu angkat.” Wol membereskan pakaian Janshil. Ia melihat sebuah bungkusan panjang berwarna biru di dalam lemari. Ia mengambil bungkusan itu dan membukanya. Binyeo bulan memeluk matahari. Tapi Wol tidak mengenalinya dan cepat-cepat membungkusnya kembali. Hwon masih terus menyelidiki kematian Yeon-woo. Ia menduga ayahnya telah menyelidiki kematian Yeon-woo dan menyimpan catatan rahasia hasil penyelidikannya di suatu tempat. Ayahnya telah tiada. Tabib istana yang memeriksa Yeon-woo waktu itu juga telah mati minum racun setelah kematian Raja Seongjo. Orang yang memberi Yeon-woo obat itu ayah Yeon-woo juga telah tiada karena sakit. Semua orang yang mengetahui hal ini telah mati. “Ada satu orang yang masih hidup…” pikir Hwon. Hwon teringat pada kasim kepala Jung yang melayani ayahnya sama seperti kasim Hyung pada Hwon. Hwon memanggil Woon. Kasim Hyung membawa boneka salju si atas baki. Ia gemetar kedinginan dan bertanya-tanya mengapa tiba-tiba Hwon memintanya membawakan boneka salju. Ia masuk ke ruangan Hwon dan melihat ruangan itu kosong. “Cheonhaaaaaaaa Yang Mulia !!!” teriak kasim Hying sekuat tenaga. Hehe…tertipu^^ Lagi-lagi Hwon bergidik dan mengorek telinganya. Woon tertawa dan bertanya mengapa Hwon seperti itu. “Mengapa kau bertanya saat kau tahu jawabannya,” sahut Hwon. Woon tersenyum. Mereka pergi ke kediaman mantan kasim kepala. Pelayan kasim itu terkejut saat Hwon mengaku mereka diutus oleh istana. Pelayan itu berkata majikannya sedang sakit dan sedang pergi jauh untuk memulihkan diri. Hwon melihat seputu di depan sebuah kamar dan berteriak, “Sayang sekali, Yang Mulia telah mengirim pesan bahwa ada hal penting yang ingin didiskusikannya bersama tuanmu.” Kasim itu bersembunyi di kamarnya dan mendengar perkataan Hwon. Hwon bertanya pada pelayan itu apakah majikannya akan pergi lama. Pelayan itu tidak tahu. Hwon meminta pelayan itu menyampaikan pesan pada majikannya “tidak peduli seberapa banyak rahasia yang disimpan, kebenaran akhirnya akan muncul. Semakin ia menghindarinya, semakin besar konsekuensinya”. Kasim itu terduduk di lantai dan menunduk pasrah. Hwon berkata ia akan pergi sekarang tapi jika kasim kepala Jung tidak menemuinya di istana besok maka mereka akan bertemu di pengadilan dan bukan di istana. Woon bertanya mengapa Hwon tidak menemui kasim itu padahal Hwon tahu ia ada di dalam kamar. Hwon berkata kasim itu telah menutup mulutnya selama 8 tahun. Itu pasti karena perintah ayahnya untuk menyembunyikan keberaran itu. Karena itu jika mereka mendekatinya terlalu cepat dan menakutinya, ia mungkin akan memnbunuh dirinya sendiri. “Aku hanya ingin memastikan dugaanku benar,” kata Hwon. Woon bertanya apa yang dugaan Hwon. “Kematian Puteri Mahkota bukan kematian biasa. Dan ada catatan rahasia milik raja terdahulu yang terletak di suatu tempat. Jika itu bukan kematian biasa tapi pembunuhan, mengapa ayahku memlih menyembunyikan kebenaran? Sudah pasti ada alasan ia melakukannya. Dan catatan itu pasti ada di suatu tempat.” Hwon berkata kepalanya sakit. Ia mengajak Woon berjalan-jalan karena mereka sedang di kota. Mereka berjalan tanpa menyadari telah melewati Janshil dan Yang Myung. Yang Myung tersenyum menyaksikan Janshil makan dengan lahap. Ia menyuruh Janshil kembali ke Seongsucheong. Janshil tidak mau. Yang Myung berkata ia tidak boleh terus melarikan diri karena takut. Ia menyarankan agar Janshil memohon sampai tangannya menjadi kakinya jungkir balik, maksudnya? Janshil berkata walau ia ingin memohon, ia tidak akan memiliki tangan dan kaki karena begitu dia masuk istana, ia akan langsung dirobek. Yang Myung berkata bagaimana bisa wajah semanis Janshil mengatakan hal seperti itu. Janshil berkata ibu angkatnya bersungguh-sungguh dengan ucapannya. Ia akan melakukan apa yang pernah diucapkannya. Janshil bergumam akan sulit baginya untuk tetap utuh jika kembali ke istana. Yang Myung bertanya mengapa Janshil membantunya jika ia begitu ketakutan. “Karena kakak adalah orang pertama yang mempertaruhkan nyawa untuk menyelamatkan aku. Aku bahkan tidak ingat wajah orang tuaku yang telah membuangku. Tapi kakak menggendongku dan berlari. Aku tidak akan pernah melupakan wajah kakak.” Yang Myung berkata Janshil mirip dengannya. Janshil bertanya apakah Yang Myung juga dibuang oleh orangtuanya dan apakah Yang Myung juga memiliki seseorag yang tidak akan ia lupakan hingga ia mati. “Mirip seperti itu.” “Orang seperti apa dia?” “Seseorang yang sangat sangat cantik dan pintar. Seseorang yang membuatku tenang walau aku hanya melihatnya. Ia banyak menyebabkan aku terluka tapi ia juga yang membuatku benar-benar bahagia.” “Kalau begtu percuma aku memanggil kak Wol,” sahut Janshil. “Apa kau bilang?” tanya Yang Myung terkejut. Janshil berkata ia memanggil Wol agar Yang Myung bisa bertemu dengannya. Wol berjalan melewati toko kertas dan ia merasa familiar dengan tempat itu. Ia mendengar Seul membicarakan surat permintaan maaf. Lalu ia melewati tukang besi dan kilatan masa lalu mulai muncul lagi di benaknya. Suara shaman Jang yang menyuruhnya melarikan diri dari takdir yang tak bisa ia hadapi pada pesta topeng, pertandingan sepak bola Hwon, ketika mereka berlari saat mereka pertama kali bertemu, lalu Hwon yang membuka topengnya dan bertanya apakah Yeon-woo mengenalinya. Wol merasa pusing dan hampir terjatuh namun seseorang meraihnya dan membantunya berdiri. Hwon. Mereka bertatapan. Sementara itu para menteri juga berjalan-jalan di kota untuk mencari tempat penjilat tak sabar dan berjalan mendahului rekan-rekannya untuk mencari tempat minum terbaik di kota. Hwon dan Wol berjalan bersama. Hwon berusaha memulai percakapan. “Mengapa kau di sini?” tanya Hwon. Wol menoleh menatapnya. “Oh, kau bilang kau keluar karena ada yang harus kaulakukan,” kata hwon, “Aku kemari untuk jalan-jalan. Oh, aku baru mengatakannya padamu tadi.” Wol bertanya mengapa Hwon keluar tanpa pengawalan. Hwon berkata walau Wol tidak melihatnya tapi Woon ada di sana untuk menjaganya. Hown bertanya apakah seorang jimat boleh berjalan-jalan di siang hari seperti ini. Pantas saja ia merasa sakit di sekujur tubuhnya setelah bangun tidur. Rupanya karena jimatnya Wol tidak beristirahat dengan baik hingga ia mendapat sakit kepala. Wol dengan khawatir bertanya apa Hwon sakit. Melihat Wol begitu cemas, Hwon berkata ia hanya bercanda, bagaimana bisa Wol tidak tahu kalau ia hanya begurau. Wol merasa lega. “Syukurlah,” gumamnya.. Hwon menatapnya dengan penuh perasaan. Wol pamit ia pergi sekarang karena ia tak ingin mengganggu perjalanan Hwon. Ia langsung berjalan pergi. “Tunggu sebentar,“ panggil Hwon. Hwon melihat menteri penjilat berjalan ke arahnya. Ia buru-buru memalingkan wajahnya. Woon datang dan melaporkan kalau Yoon dan para menteri berjalan ke arah mereka jadi mereka harus bergegas sebelum berpapasan dengan mereka. Hwon terpaksa menyetujui. Wol berjalan, tapi menoleh ia menoleh juga mencari Hwon. Ia lalu melihat menteri penjilat memarahi seorang anak yang tak sengaja menubruknya dan membuat pakaiannya kotor. Menteri penjilat pakaiannya terbuat dari sutra mahal bagaiamana cara anak itu menggantinya.. Anak itu meminta maaf. Tapi menteri penjilat berkata ia paling benci orang yang hanya menggunakan mulutnya. Ia ingin anak itu menjadi budaknya. Ia memerintahkan anak itu diseret ke rumahnya untuk memotong kayu. Wol menyuruh mereka melepaskan anak itu. Menurutnya wajar saja jika ada yang bertubrukan saat ada begitu banyak orang. Ia meminta menteri penjilat memaafkan anak itu karena ia tidak sengaja. Menteri penjilat berkata sutranya kotor dan tidak bisa dibersihkan lagi. Karena anak itu tidak bisa menggantinya maka ia akan mempekerjakan anak itu sebagai budak, apa salahnya? Wol berkata tampaknya menteri ini seorang yang berjabatan tinggi. Dengan sombong menteri itu menyebut jabatannya. Wol berkata karena menteri itu berkedudukan tinggi maka seharusnya lebih pengertian. Menteri itu berkata tadinya ia ingin melepaskan Wol karena ia cantik tapi bagaimana bisa Wol bebicara seperti itu padanya . Wol berkata Joseon memiliki banyak kain yang bagus tapi menteri itu menolak memakai kain lokal dan mengimpor kain dari negara lain , kira-kira apa yang rakyat pikirkan. Menteri itu murka dan menyuruh pegawainya membawa Wol. Pegawai menteri memegangi Wol. Tiba-tiba Hwon mendorong pria itu dan menarik Wol pergi. Ia terus menunduk agar wajahnya tak terlihat. Menteri itu berteriak menyuruh mereka ditangkap. Hwon dan Wol berlari melewati Menteri Yoon. Menteri Yoon bertanya-tanya apakah itu Hwon. Hwon memarahi Wol. “Bagaimana bisa gadis sepertimu tidak punya rasa takut. Apa yang akan kaulakukan jika kau diseret ke penjara?” Wol berkata ia tidak bisa diam saja melihat suatu ketidakadilan. Hwon menganggap wajar saja menteri itu meminta ganti pakaiannya yang koto. Wol bertanya apak a Hwon tahu betapa mahalnya kain impor… ia melihat Hwon juga mengenakan kain impor jadi ia mengubah kata-katanya denga berkata seorang menteri yang menduduki posisi tinggi harusnya menjaga sikap. Wol menceritakan sebuah cerita yang hwon tahu betul bahwa tugas seorang Raja adalah memberi contoh hidup sederhana agar para pengikutnya meneladaninya. Hwon tahu kebenaran di dalam kata-kata Wol, ia mengomel bagaimana bisa seorang shaman mengucapkan hal yang benar-benar bisa menjengkelkannya. Wol tak mendengar perkataan Hwon dan menoleh ke arah lain. Hwon berkata beraninya Wol memalingkan wajah saat ia sedang berbicara padanya. Ia melihat ke arah yang dilihat Wol. Ternyata mereka berdiri di dekat pertunjuukan panggung boneka. Hwon terdiam saat melihat panggung boneka itu. Seorang pria menghampiri mereka dan membujuk meerka untuk menonton panggung boneka itu daripada melihat dari kejauhan. Ia berkata pertunjukkan itu mengenai cinta pertama dan barisan depan penonton masih ada yang kosong. Jika mereka terlalu lama berpikir mereka akan kehilangan tempat bagus. Selama pria itu berbicara, Hwon diam saja. Pria itu menarik tangan hwon dan berkata Hwon tidak akan menyesalinya. Ia membawa Hwon ke barisan depan penonton. Wol mengikuti mereka karena khawatir. Pria itu mengulurkan tangan meminta uang. Walau seorang raja , Hwon tidak membawa uang hingga ia diam saja. Wol tersenyum dan membayar pria itu. Hwon terlihat sedikit malu. Mereka duduk berdampingan. Hwon berkata ia akan membayar kembali uang Wol. Wol diam-diam tersenyum. Panggung boneka itu menceritakan kisaha cinta seorang Raja dengan wanita biasa. Hwon merasa bosan dan tidak merasa nyaman duduk di tanah. Sementara Wol terpesona dengan pertunjukkan itu. Hwon mulai meregangkan tubuhnya tapi orang-orang yang duduk dibelakangnya protes karena pandangan mereka terhalang oleh Hwon yang terus bergerak. Tak tahan lagi, Hwon menoleh dan membentak, “Apa yang kalian lakukan! Apa kalian tidak tahu? Aku adalah…” Ia tak bisa meneruskan. Para penonton di belakangnya mengomel. Hwon menahan kekesalannya. Apalagi ketika ia mendengar dialog dalam pertunjukkan itu, “Jika aku tidak bisa memilikimu, untuk apa aku menjadi seorang Raja.” Hwon bertanya apa Wol menyukai pertunjukkan ini. Wol berkata ini menyenangkan. Hwon tak bisa protes lagi. Ia terus menatap wajah Wol yang jelas lebih menyenangkan daripada panggung boneka bagi Hwon. Yang Myung gelisah menunggu Wol. Janshil tertidur. Yang Myung menyelimuti Janshil dan pergi mencari Wol. Hwon terus menatap Wol. Wol bertanya apakah Hwon sudah menemui orang itu. “Aku tidak bisa bertemu dengannya.’ Wol menanyakan alasannya. “Karena ia sudah tidak ada di dunia ini lagi.” Wol terkejut, Bagaimana….” “Itu adalah kesalahanku. Aku seharusnya melindunginya tapi aku tak bisa melindunginya. Banyak yang ingin kukatakan padanya tapi aku tidak sempat mengatakannya. Jadi aku tidak bisa melupakannya untuk saat ini.” Wol tersentuh dengan pengakuan Hwon. “Mereka bilang shaman bisa berbicara dengan roh orang yang sudah mati.” “Hamba dengar begitu.” “Kalau begitu apakah kau bisa mengatakan sesuatu pada anak itu untukku? “Apa yang Yang Mulia ingin katakan padanya?” Hwon menatap Wol, “Aku...sangat…sangat….menyukainya.” Mata Wol berkaca-kaca. Hwon tersenyum…seakan telah melepaskan beban di hatinya. Yang Myung melihat keduanya dari kejauhan. Heartbreaaakk….T_T Komentar Episode kali ini memang terasa lebih lambat dari episode-episode sebelumnya, tapi aku senang Hwon mulai menyelidiki kematian Yeon-woo. Aku frustrasi karena Wol belum juga mengingat semuanya, tapi melihat Hwon seakan kembali kepada dirinya saat remaja dulu, senyumnya....sikap lugunya...membuatku tak bisa protes lagi hehe^^ Adegan terakhir episode ini membayar semua. Jika ditanyakan, apakah yang menyebabkan kita begitu terpikat dan kecanduan dengan drama ini? Well, aku tidak akan menyangkal kalau Kim Soo-hyun dan Jung Il-woo cukup menjadi alasan untuk kita menontonnya. Bagiku, kisah cinta antara Hwon dan Yeon-woo/Wol sejak awal menjadi inti dari drama ini. Sang bulan dan sang matahari. Yang satu tak lengkap tanpa yang lain. Setiap saat kita menantikan kapan mereka akan bersama. Dan ketika akhirnya kita melihat mereka bertatapan, rasanya penantian kita tiap minggu terbayar sudah^^ Perasaan cinta mereka, baik saat remaja maupun saat mereka dewasa, dapat disampaikan dengan baik oleh para pemerannya. Hingga kita bertahan sampai akhir menantikan cinta mereka akhirnya terwujud. Tak peduli seberapa banyak dan seberapa berat halangan cinta mereka, termasuk kematian, namun kita tahu sejak awal bahwa mereka ditakdirkan bersama. Aku agak khawatir dengan karakter Yang Myung. Aku mengerti kesedihannya dan keputusasaannya. tapi bagiku tetap bukan alasan untuk memisahkan dua orang yang saling mencintai. Seringakali mencintai bukan berarti memiliki bukan? Dan lagi, ia sepertinya cocok dengan Janshil p Another solid if not spectacular episode of The Moon that Embraces the Sun. I’ve given up hoping for the return to the cohesive clarity of the earlier episodes or for some much needed secondary character development. I’m still entertained, but I’ve accepted this is about as deep as it’s going to get. As the drama continues to steer its trajectory away from the events of the novel, I’m left knowing things will happen but unsure of how and when. Because she’s gotten so little screen time, it wasn’t until this episode that I finally realized just how magnificent Kim Min Seos performance as Bo Kyung is. She’s animated without being forced, digging deeper into a character written without nuance, pulling out emotions that hit all the right notes and makes me interested in her. That is how great acting can compensate for shoddy writing. Kim Soo Hyun is lucky to have the best written character in the entire show, and his performance equally matches up. Poor Han Ga In is left hanging out to dry, with Wol being either a cipher or a too-good-to-be-true heroine the way Yeon Woo was created. MoonSun feels like a show with alternating bites of spicy and bland, depending on who pops up on the screen at any given moment. Episode 10 recap Hwon tells Wol to help him forget his lonely pain and ease the hurt in his heart. Can she do it? Wol wants to, she wants to block the ill directed at the King. Hwon orders Wol to raise her face to him. Bo Kyung cracks open the door to the King’s inner chambers and briefly glimpses Hwon standing there staring intently at his human amulet with a look that is clearly of a man to a woman. Before she can barge in, Woon slams the door shut. End of that peep show, lady. Bo Kyung leaves under the pretense that she was just worried about the King’s health and wanted to check on him. Hwon calls Hyung Sun in to summon the royal physician. Not for him, but to treat Wol. Hyung Sun hesitates since the royal physician is allowed only to treat a member of the royal family. Hwon argues that the human amulet is absorbing his ills, so if she is sick, it might harm him. He yells at Hyung Sun to summon the royal physician immediately. Woon walks outside and his subordinate hands over a note Wol had written to the King which the subordinate confiscated from Wol. Bo Kyung sits in her chambers and seethes with rage, knowing that Hwon was clearly interested in his human amulet in very primal ways. Wol is treated by the royal physician while Hwon reads a book off to the side. He can’t help up but sneak a peek, but when Wol meets his gaze, he nonchalantly turns away. Hyung Sun is aware of this frisson of interest from Hwon to Wol. Later that night, Hwon sleeps while Wol keeps vigil over him as usual. Morning comes and Wol leaves, which is when Hwon immediately wakes up, clearly pretending to be asleep this entire time. Woon hands over to the King the note from Wol, indicating that she wants to be of service to him as a citizen of this country. Hwon takes that as a rebuke of his acknowledgement of Wol as merely a thing and not an actual person. Hwon smiles a tad at Wol’s effective and to-the-point note. Hyung Sun sneaks a peek, explaining his surprise to find a shaman knows how to write Han characters, and write such poetic words at that. Hwon snarls at Hyung Sun, but then remembers his wonder at reading 13 year old Yeon Woo’s first note to him. Hwon remembers how his reaction to Yeon Woo was that he could never forget her. Hyung Sun takes the opportunity to remind Hwon that Wol is but a shaman. Hwon understands that his servant is warning him not to be interested in Wol. Hyung Sun dares to remind the King that Wol is not Yeon Woo, no matter how much she looks like her. Hyung Sun reveals that Bo Kyung visited last night, shaking off her pride and coming to see him. Hwon ought to consider how she must feel right now. Bo Kyung is moping in bed when her servant comes to get her, revealing that the King asked to see her. That immediately rouses Bo Kyung, who dresses up await her husband. Hwon’s visit to Bo Kyung doesn’t go unnoticed, as his mother reports to Queen Yoon that the King appears to be showing interest in his queen. Queen Yoon chalks it up to the magical powers of the human amulet. She orders that a new date for the marriage consummation be selected. Since Hwon is feeling better, getting them to sleep together will also increase their burgeoning feelings for each other. Hwon sits with Bo Kyung, asking if she has any worries on her mind since she doesn’t look so good. Bo Kyung claims that she is worried about the King so she couldn’t sleep. Hwon knows she went to visit his chambers last time, asking directly what she intended to spy on him about. Did she see or hear anything last night? Whatever she saw or heard, it is with a human amulet. Hwon reminds Bo Kyung that their marriage consummation will occur one month later. Until then, they cannot see each other, because he needs to remain undisturbed. Bo Kyung understands Hwon’s warning to stay away. After Hwon leaves, Bo Kyung is even more suspicious, wondering what exactly Hwon is trying to conceal from her? Is it his heart? A dead woman’s spirit is not enough, he is even placing a lowly shaman in his heart above her. Bo Kyung summons her servant and demands a spy close to the King to report back on the female shaman who spends every night with the King. Yang Myung goes to the paper seller and tries to find information about Wol. The guy doesn’t know anything other than Wol is a shaman. Yang Myung leaves dejected. On his way out, he passes a group of shamans from the Royal Astrology Office, among them is Jang Shil. She immediately recognizes Yang Myung and chases after him. Yang Myung wonders who is lying to him, the minister who claimed Wol was being punished for practicing the dark arts, or Wol who claimed to be in a safe place now. Jang Shil catches up to Yang Myung, calling him orabeoni and grabbing him for a bear hug. He pushes her off, noting that she doesn’t look like a gisaeng. Jang Shil says she is a shaman from the Royal Astrology Office, mentioning how Yang Myung saved her years ago. He finally remembers her, and then realizes where she now works is the safest place for shamans in the entire city. Yang Myung asks Jang Shil is there is a shaman named Wol? Jang Shil is about to answer but then remembers Nok Young’s warning for her to never mention Wol again. Jang Shil has no choice but to lie that there is no such shaman named Wol. She quickly runs off before Yang Myung probes any further. Wol sleeps during the day now since she is awake at night watching over the King. When Wol sleeps, Seol keeps her company. Jang Shil walks into Wol’s quarters all mopey and sad. She looks at the sleeping Wol and apologizes to Yang Myung in her mind. Seol suddenly notices that Wol is having a bad dream, which is actually the incident when Hwon wore a mask and then pulled her away. The dream ends right when Hwon is about to pull off the mask. Wol wakes up and confirms to Seol that she had the same bad dream, and just like all other times before, the dream ended before she could see the masked man’s face. Seol thinks to herself that the masked face is not that important, because Wol is watching over him every night now. Wol arrives for her nightly vigil, passing Woon and Hyung Sun on her way in. She takes off her robe and finds the King seated at his reading desk. Wol sits down facing Hwon, who breaks the silence by bringing up his surprise at finding out how much Wol was secretly upset at him. Wol tries to explain that she’s not, what she wrote was her sincere feelings. It was not a rebuke of the King. She wrote that as a citizen, she wanted to try her best at serving the King. If the reader of the letter had some preexisting prejudices, then her words would be misconstrued. Hwon gets riled up still, thinking Wol is calling him prejudiced, and hence not a good ruler. He’s about to state that he is Joseon’s……when he suddenly remember his teenage self telling Yeon Woo that he is Joseon’s…… Hwon stops mid-sentence, and then gets up and announces that he wants to go out for a walk. As he passes the still sitting Wol, he asks why she’s not following as the human amulet to absorb his ills. Hwon marches off and Wol quickly follows. Hwon and Wol walk through the Palace, following by Woon and all the retainers. Hwon orders everyone to back up a few steps. Everyone starts backing up, including Wol, but Hwon pulls Wol back because as his amulet she has to stick by his side. The walk takes them past the Hidden Moon Chambers, which are forever sealed since Yeon Woo resided there. Wol looks up at the sealed windows and suddenly has flashbacks of her leaving the Palace and Hwon crying out for Yeon Woo. Wol asks if this place has painful memories for his majesty. Was he the person who was crying here? Hwon grabs Wol and demands to know what she saw? He pulls Wol tightly up against him, using his hand to hold her face, asking if she saw things because of her shaman powers. Everyone averts their eyes at this intimate gesture. Hwon asks if her shaman powers can tell her what he intends to do now? Hwon asks if he ought to embrace a female shaman such as Wol. As he leans closer, and sees everyone lowering their heads even more, he suddenly turns and takes off running with Wol behind him. By the time the retainers react and give chase, Hwon’s got a head start and manages to pull Wol inside a private room with him. Hwon asks Wol again who she is? Wol gives the same answer, but this time Hwon doesn’t believe it. Wol was someone without a name until the King bestowed one on her, so who else could she be. Hwon grabs Wol, asking tearfully if she doesn’t recognize him? Does she really not know who he is? Wol asks if the King is looking for the memory of someone through her? Is it someone named Yeon Woo? Did Hwon allow her to stay by his side because Wol resembles her? But the truth is that Wol is not Yeon Woo. Hwon yells at her to be quiet. She has overstepped her bounds now. Just because he allows her to stay, doesn’t mean he has given his heart to her. She is nothing but a shaman who casts away ills. He is about to rebuke her even further but stops, knowing that his heart is already messed up because of her. Hwon orders Wol to keep her distance from him. As Hwon leaves the room, he announces that he intends to sleep alone tonight and Wol need not come. As Hwon leaves, he quietly orders Woon to make sure Wol gets home safely. Wol returns to her chambers, but she stands outside looking up at the moon. Nok Young asks why Wol is here instead of keeping vigil over the King? Wol asks Nok Young who she is? Supposedly she got lost from her parents because she was filled with shaman spirit. But is that true? Why does she keep having these memories. If the memories belong to someone else, why does it feel like it’s her own memories? Nok Young looks frightened to hear this, while Seol wipes away a tear. Seol peeks at Yeom over he wall at his estate. Yeom suddenly senses a presence, which turns out to be Yang Myung, who is rebuked again for climbing the wall to enter. Suddenly another person shows up and freaks both of them out, the person being Woon. He gets yelled at for climbing a wall and being all silent and stealthy. Woon delivers the message that the King wishes Yeom to enter the Palace tomorrow. As Woon is leaving, he suddenly sees a letter written on yellow paper. Yeom explains that it was a birthday letter Yeon Woo wrote to him. Woon leaves the estate and sees Seol, the two of them getting into a sword fight because Woon thinks someone has sent Seol to spy on Yeom. Seol manages to get away. Yang Myung and Yeom stay and catch up, with Yeom wanting to know about Yang Myung’s new lady love. Yang Myung gets serious and suddenly brings up the night eight years ago when he jokingly asked Yeon Woo to run away with him instead of going into the Palace for selection. Because Yeon Woo was dead set on doing it, Yang Myung did not push any further. Had Yang Myung been braver that night, and seriously asked Yeon Woo to run away with him, then today Yeon Woo might still be alive and by his side. Seol returns to the room she shares with Wol, who asks where Seol went and why she’s been injured. Seol lies that she got hurt while training. But when Wol presses further, Seol tells the truth, that she went to visit her former owners who treated her not as a thing but as a good friend. Yeom decides to go visit Yeon Woo’s old room. He opens the drawer in the Go box and then flips the lid, where he finally locates Yeon Woo’s farewell letter to Hwon. Yang Myung is walking home when he’s waylaid by Jang Shil. She immediately apologizes to him. She was wrong, the person he wants to find, she will help him meet her. Jang Shil grabs Yang Myung for a bear hug, crying that he is the man who saved her life, so she would give her life for him. He will be able to see the person he is looking for, so he needn’t be sad. Yeom holds Yeon Woo’s last letter to Hwon and contemplates what to do. Hwon lays in bed, tossing and turning, remembering what Wol said to him about how he was looking for another person’s memory through Wol. Princess Minhwa is stitching with her mother-in-law, vowing to keep her company until Mom cheers up. Yeom arrives dressed in his court robes, informing his two ladies that he is going to the Palace. Minhwa is annoyed he didn’t tell her early otherwise she would have accompanied him. Minhwa reveals that she’s worried about her husband entering the Palace, and it turns out her worries are for good reason. Yeom enters the Palace and immediately all the court ladies fawn over him. Hwon happily welcomes his esteemed teacher to the Palace, ordering snacks and wanting some privacy to catch up with his teacher Yeom. The court ministers are bitching about how Yeom dared to enter the Palace. The husband of the Princess is historically not allowed to participate in politics. They discuss that his very existence is a threat, a focal point for other ministers to rally around. Yoon Dae Hyung worries that Yeom may have greater influence than even his father did, wondering why he entered the Palace today. Yeom delivers Yeon Woo’s letter to Hwon, explaining that he thought long and hard but decided the letter belonged to the person it was addressed to. Hwon confirms that his bride Yeon Woo wrote this final letter to him. Yeom tell Hwon to dispose of the letter as he sees fit, whatever he does, Yeon Woo will be happy from the after life. Yeom bows and asks Hwon to forget Yeon Woo now, because he has a wife in the current Queen. If he doesn’t move on, Yeon Woo will surely be sad. Hwon tearfully reveals that everyone has been asking him to forget Yeon Woo. Hyung Sun walks Yeom out, asking him to visit more often because the King misses him. Yeom states the sad truth that he’s not supposed to be in the Palace, asking Hyung Sun to keep Hwon company. After he walks away, Hyung Sun sighs that it ought to have been Yeom who keeps the King company. Hwon sits with the letter for a good long while before he picks it up to read. The letter is Yeon Woo saying that she wrote this letter with the final remaining ounce of energy she possessed. She doesn’t know if he’ll get it but she still wants to write it. Meeting Hwon one final time before she passed was of great comfort to her. She asks Hwon to make her a memory now. Her father is coming soon with medicine, and then she will never be able to see him again. He must forget her, and be healthy for her sake. He must become a great King for the people. Hwon cries, chocking back sobs that Yeon Woo’s final wish was for him to be healthy. She used her final bit of energy to write this letter. She must have been in such pain and agony. Hyung Sun cries with his King. Hwon notices that even with no strength, Yeon Woo’s letters are still so beautifully written. Hwon orders that Yeon Woo’s past correspondence be brought to him now. He cannot remember her writing anymore, so he wants to read it all again. Bo Kyung gets her report from her spy, who says that the King went for a walk with the human amulet, and after the walk forbid her from accompanying him back to his chambers. She also reveals that Yeom visited today, and the King asked for a box with the character rain Woo carved on it. Hwon opens the box and takes out the letters he exchanged with Yeon Woo years ago. Woon sits across from him as Hwon reads. Hwon suddenly pulls out Wol’s letter to him and puts the two letters side-by-side. He orders Woon to bring Wol immediately. Wol is walking to the King’s chambers when suddenly she is pulled aside. It is Yang Myung, who pushes Wol against the wall and asks if she knows him? Hwon stares intently at the two letters with identical handwriting, clearly making the connection between Yeon Woo and Wol. Thoughts of Mine Okay, that was an AWESOME episode ender. In fact, the entire second half of this episode was just pure awesome courtesy of Hwon, who kept reaching deeper and deeper into his hidden reservoir of sadness over the loss of his beloved Yeon Woo. He finally sold it for me on why he can’t let her go. Not only did he genuinely love her for who she was inside, her death was just so sudden and wrenching that the traumatic loss clearly isn’t something he has properly grieved. Moreover, after losing Yeon Woo, everyone else went down the crapper. Yang Myung took off, Yeom couldn’t be his teacher anymore and later on couldn’t even come to the Palace, and he was forced to marry scheming Bo Kyung and gain slimy Yoon Dae Hyung as a father-in-law. By trying to suppress his memories of Yeon Woo, so much so that he can’t remember her handwriting anymore, he ended up being unable to let go of her. Just like Lee Min Ho before him, Jung Il Woo is really selling Yang Myung’s pining for Yeon Woo. It doesn’t make much sense logically, but then the affairs of the heart don’t and rarely make sense. He loves her, and her death is also something he hasn’t gotten over. Sounds like he feels some guilt for not talking her out of going to the Crown Princess selection, though we all know he wouldn’t have been able to change her mind regardless. I like how the drama is slowly and finally weaving all the characters together again. Seeing Yeom, Yang Myung, and Woon gather together, albeit briefly, was like taking a walk down memory lane. Seol and Woon finally cross paths and swords, plus Yang Myung and Jang Shil reunite and then promptly sent the drama into overdrive. I love how Jang Shil decided to go with her heart and tell Yang Myung about Wol, seeing how much he wanted to find her. But what I loved the most was Hwon figuring out on his own the connection between Yeon Woo and Wol. I knew his realization would involve writing, since the love affair between Hwon and Yeon Woo blossomed during the period when they wrote to each other. I hope he doesn’t take one step forward and two steps back and try to rationalize away the identical handwriting. I’m glad the drama decided to let both Hwon and Yang Myung confirm Wol’s identity at the same time, because I think this story can and ought to have a viable love triangle. I want to see Yang Myung fight for Wol, because he loves her and because he wants to keep her safe. Whether as Wol or as Yeon Woo, she will never be safe in the Palace with Hwon because of those conspiring against the King. After what happened to Yeon Woo, it’s clear this time Yang Myung won’t let her be placed in such a dangerous situation again. I was really shaking my head when watching the Hwon-Bo Kyung scene today, when he warned her to stay away. There was so much chemistry between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Min Seo it made me sad the same frisson of energy couldn’t be transferred over to the OTP interactions. I can live with second lead shipping, but shipping the hero with the resident witch is clearly NOT a viable or sane proposition. At this point I don’t need Han Ga In to magically become a good actress, all I ask for her to wake up a little. She’s so low-energy onscreen that she sucks the charisma out of a scene. Though with Kim Soo Hyun emitting fireballs of acting passion, it does even out when they are together. Funnily enough, their acting reminds me of him being the brightly burning sun and her being the cold soft moonlight. An apt observation if ever there was one for this drama. Inspiré du livre du même nom écrit par Jung Eun Gwol qui est également l'auteur des livres ayant inspiré le drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal". Le soleil représente le destin d'un roi. La lune représente celui d'une reine. Selon la reine douairière, deux soleils ne peuvent coexister, tout comme deux lunes ne peuvent exister. Lee Hwon est l'héritier du trône. Son frère aîné, le prince Yang Myeong Gun, est le fils d'une concubine et est donc illégitime. Bien que leur amitié soit solide et que Yang Myeong Gun ne convoite pas le trône, ce dernier est obligé de vivre à l'extérieur du palais. Tous deux sont sous le charme d'une jeune fille noble, Heo Yeon Wu. Après s'être fait remarquer pour son intelligence, Yeon Wu deviendra la princesse héritière, fiancée à Lee Hwon. Malheureusement, la reine douairière et ses ministres souhaitent donner cette position à une autre jeune fille, une autre lune, Yun Bo Gyeong. Sous le coup des manigances politiques et des forces occultes, Heo Yeon Wu succombe et sa famille est exclue. Huit ans plus tard, Lee Hwon est désormais roi et Yun Bo Gyeong reine. Leur mariage n'est toutefois toujours pas consommé et la santé du roi est incertaine. Yeon Wu, que tous croient morte, réapparait alors au palais en tant que shaman. Bien qu'elle jette le trouble dans le cœur de ceux qui l'ont connue, elle se fait désormais appeler Wol qui signifie "lune", est amnésique.
