One more week!!! We can do it...there's soo much I wish I could say but I don't know where to begin..I am just ready for Wangso to kill everyone off..I am waiting for that happy ending that the producer said we will get. I am not surprised with the series of event since they are somewhat following the original story line ie So being pretty gruesome when he becomes king. I kind of understand him since I doubt anyone wants him as king are they are ready to overthrow him ASAP. He knows that and he's trying his best to survive. I knew Chae Ryung was going to die but at the same time I felt nothing when she died except relief that the way she died wasn't really gruesome like her Chinese counterpart. I don't really see the point of Wonhee being in the story.


Watching the World Series as well.. I think I am happy with either team winning since neither have one in such a long time but I would like to be alive when Chicago finally wins.

I'm really curious as to the happy ending we will get too lol. let i really hope they dont build up our expectations only to let us all down in the end

i really dislike woohee. the most unnecessary character, yet gets so much of screentime

[mishiro-san.livejournal.com]

Me too... I demand my happy ending....but then again Junki mentioned that this was a touching drama that will bring you happiness so who knows. LOL They better not let us down....omg...

I know. I have a feeling the reason why she is getting so much screen time is because it might be a tragic ending or a happy ending for her and baek ah. I just wonder if they will follow the Chinese drama of the 13th's prince story.

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed it will be a happy ending. I always put my faith in K-dramas ending happily cause they dont seem to have any other type of ending lol. I just hope it's an interesting one...

i agree (and i secretly hope it's a tragic one and that it's swift and occurs early in ep 19 lol) im still wondering why is she walking around alive after attempting to kill the king. and nobody has sniffed her out by now? bizzare.

[mishiro-san.livejournal.com]

We shall see...I can see it being an open ending and we would have to interpret it...LOL

If they follow the Chinese drama then prince #13 does get kind of a tragic ending. I just wonder if any of our princes gets a happy ending since prince #10 in the Chinese vers got one but he was killed off in this vers. I'm surprised no one sniffed her out either since people know that she was involved in an attempt to kill a king..

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

please no lol...but i can totally see the writers going the open ending route tbh. sigh

yeah..hmm. it seems like none of them here will get a happy ending. 14th prince maybe? but im not sure if so will find out soo went to him and kill him. seems like he's not gonna be sparing wook and won too

[mishiro-san.livejournal.com]

I can see the writers do that considering what have been doing with the rest of the series. They are raising my blood pressure. Maybe they will surprise me...hopefully in a good way... This show should have been more than 20 episodes...like wth....they have a lot of misopportunity to improve the plot...and character development...but they probably cut a TON of scenes out just to condense it. I'm actually a bit surprised they cut out a part of the plot that was a bit important in the original series but it's probably too makjang
for this show to add it in with only 2 episodes left.


Yeah that's what I'm wondering since in the series...only prince 10 got a happy ending...but we shall see...I wouldn't be surprised if none of them do get a happy ending. I do think Woo Hee is going to die though. Yeah...Won...is definitely going to die...there's no way around it. As for Wook, I am not sure if they will follow history or will they follow the original story line.

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

That's true. I too hope it's a nice surprise and not a lame one >< yes it should have been like at least 24 or maybe even 50 epis!! of all the dramas this is the drama that needs an extension. I'm pretty sure there's tons of cut scenes and i hope they make a director's cut dvd or sth and show us all those scenes. oh yes - were you referring to the Ruoxi/haesoo getting pregnant thing?

i hope woohee dies, really haha, if chaeryung did all that and died then she has to suffer the same fate too. but if she does, that means baekah wouldn't have a great ending either. wook.. yeah. i'm wondering if so will go nuts after he discovers his and soo's previous relationship and just hang him or sth =X

[mishiro-san.livejournal.com]

It better be considering all the tortue they put us through. Be kind to us writers and don't prolong our suffering. Idk if it could be stretched to 50 but who knows considering they have to go through two king before So. They might be able to stretch it out to 50n and it can also give us a better understanding of other characters so they don't look like they are a waste of space and screen time. *glares at prince #9 Yeah..the miscarriage part? I was surprised they cut it out.

I feel like Woohee will die. Yeah...that's the case...baek ah doesn't get a happy ending...No...I don't think So will do that to Wook...He will be upset but he won't kill him over the relationship...I'm just wondering if Wook will be dead or alive at the end of the series...I just don't know if they will follow history OR will they follow the book.

[meyouthisthat.livejournal.com]

yeah haha, 50 is abit long but i'm pretty sure they can do it. write proper characterisations and scenes and it will be good. prince #9 i felt was really underutilised, his dirty role in everything could be shown abit more. character-wise i think he's very interesting. yeah i was surprised they cut it out though it seems like they wanted this to go the really PG-route lol

i wonder whether wook will be dead or alive too. either way no happy ending for him and out of all the princes, he's got the crappiest life i must say. ep 19 is upon us! =X

[mishiro-san.livejournal.com]

I was thinking maybe 30 to possibly 40 or so episodes. This drama had so much potential to be soo good but *Sigh* it has come to this. I feel like there should have shown #9 a bit more...he was in the background for most of the first half of the series so I wasn't able to get an idea of his personality. I feel like they want to keep it PG though idk if it really worked or not.

YEah...definitely not a happy ending for him. I don't think any of the brothers will get a happy ending either..I can't wait till episode 19 ugh...almost there.
