Will Yang-myung cross over to the dark side? Will Hwon finally get to protect the person he loves till the end? Will logic hang on by a thread? It looks like you can wound the beast, but you can’t slow it down by much Today’s episode recorded ratings, even after a week’s hiatus. EPISODE 19 RECAP After the big fancy declaration and swirling kiss, Hwon and Yeon-woo walk back outside, and he wonders if she doesn’t have anything to give him, since he gave her his heart and everything. She says she doesn’t have much – what does he want? He starts to inch closer… “You know, IT… I want to try it…” Rawwwr. She wrings her hands nervously. He leans closer… Hwon “That thing you did with hyungnim…” Uhhh… she did THAT with Yang-myung? “…with the long stick…” HA. Okay, am I just supposed to pretend I didn’t hear that? Dirty! But he means the game, of course, the one he saw her play with Yang-myung and the kids. It’s adorably childish of him, but I still say it’s a wasted opportunity for some smooches! She shows him how to play, and he’s hilariously bad at it. Hyung-sun has to sneak in some tips to help him out, and then the poor man has to run and chase the ball every time. But he finally gets the hang of it, to resounding applause. Meanwhile Yang-myung is busy being coaxed to the dark side by Minister Yoon. Yang-myung asks if he’s willing to give up his position as the queen’s father, since he knows Bo-kyung to be his only daughter. Minister Yoon just gives an evil smile, “One can always make another.” Ew. I don’t want to think about you making babies. Stop that. Well that explains the sudden entrance of the niece into the palace. Turns out Bo-kyung wasn’t paranoid about how far her father would go to control the throne. But as we know, Yang-myung only cares about one person Yeon-woo. Minister Yoon appeases him by saying that he can’t exactly marry her, but one should keep what’s most precious close to him, in secret. Yang-myung agrees to board Ship Evil. Please tell me this is a plot-within-a-plot, otherwise I’ll have to assume you ran off and got a lobotomy during the hiatus. Bo-kyung stirs with fear, guessing her father’s moves before he even makes them. She wonders to herself, “Father, are you abandoning me, and the king?” She realizes that means Hwon is in danger, and she rushes out to find him in the middle of the night. Oh no… but he’s with Yeon-woo out in the open! And that’s exactly what she sees. Her faces goes dark, and she stops in her tracks before they notice her. The first plan of attack against the king is swaying public sentiment, so news comes out of Hwon’s secret affair with a shaman. Hong Kyu-tae does his best to counter the smear campaign with rumors of the truth—that the princess bride returned from the dead and she’s the shaman in question. Hwon meets with the assembly and they argue against prosecuting for Yeon-woo’s fishy “illness” eight years ago, while Hwon in turn wonders why they’re not up in arms about the accusations against the king and his shaman. Are they just saving themselves and watching the house burn down, or are they the ones that lit the fire? Cue awkward guilty coughs ’round the room. Oh that’s not conspicuous or anything. Hwon laughs it off like a joke, but eyes the room warily. Bo-kyung tells her father that she saw Yeon-woo with her own two eyes this time, and it wasn’t a figment of her imagination. But Minister Yoon is tired of her paranoia, and tells her it doesn’t matter whether that girl is dead or alive. She realizes that he’s already decided to cut her loose along with Hwon and decides that she’s the only one who can protect what’s hers. Oooh. Bo-kyung is the interesting wrench in this whole thing, because she could ruin either side’s plan enough to muck up everything. She orders that the last temporary head of Seongsucheong be brought to her at once. Yeon-woo asks Hwon for a favor, and requests that she be allowed to see Nok-young one last time. He reminds her that Nok-young is the reason she suffered this much, but she counters that she’s also the reason she’s alive. “Whenever I look upon your face, I feel grateful that I am alive.” She says that eight years’ affection isn’t something to be taken lightly, and asks to see her. Bo-kyung meets with the evil shaman and asks if she can kill a person with black magic. She says that the most she can do is cause great physical pain, like she did with the king. Bo-kyung only now realizes that Hwon’s attack was her father’s doing. The shaman says she needs to know exactly where the target will be, and must be physically nearby, and also requires a boost of energy to power the spell, much like Min-hwa’s involvement the last time. She’s specific about needing a virgin. Well I know where you can find a drama full of those. She says if the energy is powerful enough, the target could die. Desire fuels the energy, thus the more fervently the source of the power wants to harm the target, the stronger the spell. Nok-young’s spidey sense is tingling, as she sees a bowl of water turn to blood before her eyes. She gets called to the palace to see Yeon-woo, and greets her with a bow. Yeon-woo asks about her friend Ahri, the one whose dying request it was for Nok-young to protect her. She says she doesn’t know much, but that Ahri was saved once by her mother, before Yeon-woo was even born. “So the person who saved you was not me, nor her, but your mother.” Yeon-woo says she hasn’t yet forgiven Nok-young for everything, but she understands why she made those choices. Yeon-woo Before it’s too late, I wanted to say this. Thank you. For saving me, thank you. For taking me in, for raising me, for protecting me, thank you. For the last eight years… for being my mother… thank you. Nok-young cries, hardly believing her words. It’s actually the one instance where Yeon-woo’s overwhelming goodness moves me – to give her thanks when even forgiveness is asking a lot of you… it’s just really touching. At the same time, Bo-kyung meets the shaman for the spell, shrouded in black. As expected, she offers up herself to fuel the dark magic. But Nok-young has seen what’s to come, and warns Yeon-woo that a spell is headed straight for her. “But I’m going to stop it.” It’s shaman vs. shaman as they cast their spells, and Nok-young uses her own blood to power the evil spell back to where it came from. It makes her cough up blood, but she knocks the other shaman down. Bo-kyung trembles, and then the shaman suddenly wakes up… but it’s Nok-young’s voice that comes out of her mouth. She jumps out of her skin, recognizing her immediately. Nok-young calls her out for all her sins—keeping her mouth shut about the murder, trying to have what was never hers—making it clear that she is not the victim that she believes herself to be. Bo-kyung screams in terror, and then Nok-young leaves the shaman’s body, sending it back down to the ground. It leaves Bo-kyung in hysterics. Yeon-woo’s mother gets ready to go pray at a temple for a while, telling Yeom that it’s time to let Yeon-woo go onto the next life, so that she’s not still holding onto the past when the baby comes. Yeom sees her off. Once she’s gone, one of the servants asks Yeom if he’s heard the rumors – that Yeon-woo’s death may have been murder, and what’s more… that she may still be alive. He adds that there’s something that’s always niggled at him eight years ago, he remembers going back to the grave the day after they buried her, and it looked like the grave had been dug up. You’re saying this just NOW? Suddenly their conversation gets interrupted by an arrow that lands inches from his face. It has a note attached, from Minister Yoon. He details the plot to kill Yeon-woo, naming Princess Min-hwa as the culprit, and Hwon as the one who covered up her crime. Oh no. Yeom reels from the news, realizing now what Min-hwa meant when she had cried and said she was sorry for everything. It’s a piss poor way to find out, but I’m glad he knows. He comes in to confront her, stone-faced while she chatters on about making clothes for the baby, hopefully a son just like him. He finally opens his mouth, “Was it me you wanted to have? And do you have what you wanted now? What was it that you wanted to have that badly?” He looks at her hatefully, and she starts to cry. He steps closer, begging her to say that it’s not true, that he’s wrong. But she collapses to the floor in tears, “Please forgive me!” He can’t believe that she’s been lying all these years, betraying their whole family. She insists she was going to tell For eight years?? Yeah you were really on the ball with that… but it makes him complicit in her crime. He says he’s to blame too, for letting it happen. Well that’s taking it a bit far. He turns to go and she clings to him, but he pushes her away coldly. The Council of Evil sits around waiting for Yeom to make a move, hoping that he’ll be incensed enough to blame the king. But once they figure he’s not going to do what they want, they decide to kill him. But… THAT MAKES NO SENSE. It’s only been like a few hours. Urg, let’s just swerve around that plot hole for now. Yeom hears noises outside so he heads out, only to be confronted by a group of assassins headed straight for him. He backs away, and then suddenly Seol jumps out from nowhere, wielding her sword. Awww yeah. Finally, some badassery! She tells him to get behind her, and he’s like, but you’re a girl! Well she has a sword and you don’t, so back the hell up! She fights them off, killing one, and then another… but she gets stabbed. It doesn’t stop her though, and she lunges forward… as another sword goes clean through her torso. Ack! Just then, Woon arrives. She crumples to the ground and Yeom runs over to her. Woon takes care of the attackers, but Seol is already bleeding out. Yeom clutches her close, “Seol-ah! Seol-ah!” She uses her last ounce of strength to open her eyes, “Yeon-woo is alive.” His eyes widen. Seol “You asked me to look after her while you were away. I’m sorry I couldn’t keep that promise until the end. I’m going like this. Forgive me.” Trembling, he tells her how grateful he is that she protected Yeon-woo until now, and tells her he’s sorry for giving her such a huge burden. She tells him not to be sorry “You were the one who gave me a name. From that day until this very moment… even though I know I shouldn’t… I kept you in my lowly heart.” She asks him to forgive her and her eyes start to close. Crying, he shouts, “Sorry? Forgive you? For what?!” To herself she thinks “Master, because of you, I became a person. I became a woman. I became Seol. It was a short life, but right now, I am happier than any woman in the world.” She dies in his arms, as he cries out her name over and over. Nok-young wakes up with a sharp pain in her chest, and finds Jan-shil crying outside. They both know without being told, that Seol is gone. Jan-shil says Seol keeps telling her to be well, and to tell Nok-young thank you. As they cry, snow begins to fall. Woon reports to Hwon that he’s moved Min-hwa and Yeom to a safe place. He asks if anyone was hurt. Woon pauses, knowing that Yeon-woo is hearing all of this, and then tells him about Seol. Yeon-woo muffles her cries in the next room, barely able to contain them. Suddenly Hwon orders him to check on Grandma, because she’s next. Sure enough, in her chamber she starts choking on her own blood, after eating something poisoned. She gasps for air, cursing Minister Yoon. She looks up, happy to see what she thinks is Hwon. All we see is a headless red robe, covered in shadow. Oh THAT’s not creepy. *shivers* She tells him it was all for his own good, as she coughs up more and more blood. But the vision just turns his back to her and walks away, leaving her to die. It’s then that she flashes back to Hwon’s accusations, which were the exact same words that his father had said to her eight years ago. And with that, she dies. Well at least there’s one satisfying death to counter the one that makes me angry. The Council of Evil chuckles at Grandma’s demise, and then Yang-myung joins them for some more plotting. They worry about opposition since public sentiment could be turning against them, so Yang-myung suggests they move up the timetable for the coup. He assures them that public sentiment is something he holds in the palm of his hand. He notes his last big public deed, making sure that Hwalinseo got the medical supplies that they needed, thus framing him as the perfect King of the People. Gathering support will be a breeze. Yeon-woo sits in her room, holding in her cries, and Hwon tells her to cry as much as she wants. She says she doesn’t even have the right to cry. Gah, I don’t even know what that means. Yeon-woo “She has always protected me, but I could do nothing to protect her.” Well if there’s anyone who understands that, it’s Hwon. Yeon-woo “She was my friend, my family… no… more than that.” “I don’t understand why she had to die.” Yeah me neither, but this is where we are. He pulls her to him in an embrace, and tells her that he will not stop until this evil is put to rest. Yang-myung meets with the people behind the coup – the extended Council of Evil, if you will. He laughs to see some familiar faces, like the astrology professor who first took Wol into the palace. He chuckles, wondering aloud who would’ve thought that a publicly-known wastrel like himself would suddenly be eyeing the throne. Listen, if you’re just going to point out the logic holes, it’s going to make it harder for me to ignore them. Minister Yoon says the time will be during the upcoming hunting festival, where the king goes hunting with the people to celebrate open season. Only “the hunt will be inside the palace.” Yang-myung finishes his metaphor “…And the prey will be the king?” He then takes out an empty book and tells Minister Yoon to fill it with the names of all those who will stand with him. Aha! Maybe our first sign that perhaps you did not get a lobotomy after all? The book gets passed around the room and they all write down their names. Yang-myung betrays a little smirk. They sort out their plan of attack, while Hwon prepares the same, intending to turn the tables on Minister Yoon. He talks to the assembly about the hunt with a smile on his face, but inwardly thinks to himself that they’ll see who’s hunter and prey when it’s said and done. He looks worried though, and tells Yeon-woo that he’ll relocate her somewhere safe while he’s out hunting. She just asks him to return safely, and he promises that he will. Yang-myung looks up at the night sky, and says aloud, “See, what’d I say? I said that moon would follow me wherever I went.” But he’s not talking to himself, because Woon comes out from the shadows, knowing that the comment was meant for him. Yang-myung “I’ll ask one thing. Are you here on orders, or are you here as a friend?” Woon “I came as a friend.” Yang-myung sighs that “friend” is a good word. “I’ll ask one thing.” Woon “You already asked.” Hee. Yang-myung points out how little fun he is. “Then I will ask one more thing. Do you consider me a friend, even now?” Woon “I have done so until now, and will continue to do so.” Yang-myung smiles, “Then no matter what choice I make, no matter what I do, will you remain a friend?” That alarms Woon, and he asks what it means. But Yang-myung shakes it off as nothing, and says it won’t matter now, because the choice is made. “How did we end up like this?” The day of the hunt arrives, and everyone prepares. Hyung-sun tells Hwon that it’s time to go, and then suddenly stops to say that it was an honor to serve by his side. Oh no. Hyung-sun, not you too! Stop it! Hwon asks why he’s talking like he’s going to die, and reassures him that he’ll be fine. He turns to Woon “Are you ready?” They brace themselves and march out. The king is announced. Hwon thinks to himself “It is time. The time has come for everything to find its rightful place.” He comes down the steps and meets eyes with Minister Yoon, and then Yang-myung. As they march forward, Yang-myung follows just behind him. Flashback to the plan, which begins as soon as the king approaches the main gate. The doors burst open, and soldiers come running in. Everyone raises his sword in defense, surrounding the king. Yang-myung and Hwon stand back-to-back, in the center of the circle. And then at the same time, both brothers turn around and raise their swords, poised at the other’s neck. No! Crap crap crap crap crap. THIS ISN’T HOW IT’S SUPPOSED TO GO. Woon whirls around, his sword now pointed at Yang-myung. Following that cue, the Council of Evil turns around, now joining the attack against the king, and killing off anyone who’s defending him. It leaves Hwon completely outnumbered. With his sword held to Hwon’s throat, Yang-myung’s voice cries out Yang-myung I have come to inform you The sun lives in the sky. But the sky has banished the sun. Fate has shifted and you have reached the end of your providence. Damn, he went there. High treason it is. COMMENTS It’s both better and worse that Yang-myung has gone this far. It’s better because it’s at least one unexpected turn in a plot that otherwise left very little to surprise. But it’s still completely under-motivated, because he’s been a totally different character up until now. It’s not like he’s been harboring a dark side since the beginning which by the by, would’ve made for a MUCH more interesting character. I just refuse to believe that it’s happening… even as it happens before my very eyes. I know, I know. Maybe it’s my Jung Il-woo love that’s making me hang on, but I swear, sans lobotomy, it doesn’t make sense. Call me an optimist, but I’ll put my money on a double reversal. There were a lot of big reveals in this episode, but they clearly maneuvered the big ones for the finale, like Yeon-woo’s reunion with Mom and Yeom though I don’t get why he isn’t charging into the palace to see her the instant he knows she’s alive. Yeon-woo’s character really took a backseat in this episode, which I didn’t understand, given how close we are to the end. It kind of makes me give up hope that she’ll have any agency at all in restoring her name. Ever since she moved into that closet room, she’s done nothing, which kind of makes me throw my hands in the air. So much potential, so little done with her in the end. Seol’s death wasn’t exactly necessary, but I understand it in terms of giving her character an ending. She probably never would’ve confessed her love for Yeom if she weren’t on her deathbed, and it seems fitting that she’s the one to tell him that Yeon-woo’s still alive, and that she kept her promise to him all these years. Personally I wanted her character to be more badass throughout the series, because her one show of swordfighting skills got me all excited and then ended with her death so prematurely. Though Yeon-woo/Jan-shil/Nok-young’s reactions to her death were heartbreaking, it felt wrong that they were all apart, and that they weren’t the ones to be there in her passing. At least we go out on this episode at a high point in the action, which hopefully means that tomorrow’s finale will deliver a satisfying epic battle, though I really should stop anticipating Baek-Dong-soo-style badassery in a drama that is just not going to give me that kind of action. Still, heads better roll from somewhere inside those walls, because I have had enough of the sitting around with clenched fists, waiting for the baddies to get their due. Off with their heads!

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.

Apalagi melihat preview Wild Romance yang kocak banget sempat membuatku goyah. Tapi aku memutuskan drama ini menjadi proyek sinopsisku selanjutnya. Why? Aku ingin mencoba sesuatu yang baru dan menurutku fusionsageuk adalah bahan yang cocok untuk didramatisir ^^ Wish me luck all…karena drama ini pada satu titik aku yakin drama ini akan membuat air mataku kering p PS karena substitle untuk Kdrama akhir-akhir ini lebih lambat muncul dari biasanya, maka terpaksa aku membuat sinopsis dengan menterjemahkan dari blog lain. Namun aku tetap menontonnya sambil membuat sinopsis dan mengambil screencap. Sinopsis Episode 1 Ibu Suri Yoon “Pada suatu masa ada dua matahari dan dua bulan. Siang hari terasa sangat panas dan malam dingin membekukan. Dunia berada dalam kekacauan. Waktu itu, seorang pahlawan muncul dan memanah satu matahari dan satu bulan, mengembalikan keteraturan dan kedamaian di dunia.” Ibu Suri Yoon sedang minum teh dengan kemenakannya, Yoon Dae-hyung. Ibu Suri berkata mereka tidak bisa setiap saat menunggu munculnya seorang pahlawan. Ibu Suri ingin kemenakannya menjadi pahlawan itu, karena hanya boleh ada satu matahari di langit maka satu lagi harus dilenyapkan. Matahari melambangkan raja. Saat itu adalah pemerintahan Raja Seongjo. Adik tiri Raja, Pangeran Uisung, dianggap Ibu Suri ibu dari Raja Seongjo sebagai pengancam tahta anaknya walau keduanya memiliki hubungan yang baik. Pangeran Uisung dianggap matahari ke-2. Sekelompok orang berpakaian serba hitam mengendap-ngendap di malam hari dan menyusup ke sebuah rumah besar. Mereka menempel kertas kuning jimat di tembok dan mengubur sebuah buku kuning di halaman. Satu orang penyusup memasuki sebuah kamar namun menemukan kamar itu kosong. Pangeran Uisung tiba-tiba muncul, menghunus pedang ke leher orang itu tapi orang itu berhasil berkelit. Pangeran menyerang orang itu namun ia terpanah. Tiba-tiba seorang wanita terbangun di tengah malam. Sepertinya ia bermimpi buruk. Tapi tunggu dulu, ia adalah Ah-ri cameo oleh Jang Young-nam, seorang shaman. Ia tahu “pria itu” dalam bahaya dan bersikeras pergi ke kediamannya saat itu juga. Temannya sesama shaman, Jang Nok-young, mencoba mengejarnya untuk menghentikannya tapi ia berhenti. Sepertinya ia mendapat firasat … atau penglihatan? Ia melihat ke langit dan melihat bulan tertutup awan dengan cepat lalu dengan cepat awan berlalu dan bulan bersinar menyilaukan. Pangeran Uisung terus melawan dan tidak menyerah walau ia sudah terluka. Tapi perkelahian berjalan tidak seimbang. Ia hampir terbunuh ketika seseorang berteriak menghentikan. Yoon Dae-hyung. Pangeran Uisung memakinya sebagai anjing dan babi yang haus kekuasaan, dan mengancam akan memberitahu Raja mengenai kejahatan Dae-hyung. Ia yakin kakaknya lebih mempercayainya daripada Yoon Dae-hyung. Sayangnya hidup Pangeran Uisung tidak akan lama untuk menjalankan ancamannya. Yoon Dae-hyung siap menebas Pangeran Uisung namun sempat memberitahu bahwa teman baik pangeran menunggu di kehidupan selanjutnya. Seorang pria bangsawan mati tergantung di kediamannya dan sebuah surat bunuh diri dilemparkan ke meja. Pangeran Uisung sangat sedih dan marah. Ia bangkit menyerang tapi pedang Yoon Dae-hyun diayun mengiris lehernya. Ah-ri tergagap melihat kejadian itu dari balik tembok. Yoon Dae-hyung melihatnya melalui pantulan di pedang dan memerintahkan orang-orang berpakaian hitam itu untuk mengejar Ah-ri dan melenyapkannya. Ah-ri dikejar hingga ke ujung tebing. Dia berhenti tapi kakinya terpleset hingga ia jatuh ke jurang. Para pengejarnya berlari ke bawah untuk mencarinya tapi mereka tidak menemukannya. Mereka hanya menemukan sebuah pita merah pengikat rambut. Mereka mengenali pita itu milik anggota kantor astrologiilmu perbintangan kerajaan. Pemimpin kelompok pembunuh itu memerintahkan agar mereka mencari Ah-ri dan membunuhnya. Di kantor astrologi kerajaan, kepala shaman menghitung semua anggotanya dan menemukan kalau Ah-ri menghilang. Ia menatap Shaman Jang dan bertanya ke mana Ah-ri pergi. Ibu Suri dan Yoon Dae-hyung mendiskusikan apa yang harus mereka lakukan terhadap Ah-ri, yang sudah melihat semua kejadian itu. Mereka menyayangkan harus melenyapkan Ari karena ia adalah shaman muda paling berbakat dan sudah ditunjuk menjadi kepala shaman berikutnya. Tapi mereka harus melakukannya. Ibu Suri Yoon tahu Ah-ri pernah bekerja sebagai budak dalam kediaman Pangeran Uisung dan ada sesuatu di antara mereka berdua. Mereka memutuskan menggunakan hal itu untuk keuntungan mereka. Mereka akan menuduh Ah-ri menggunakan kutukan untuk menjadikan Pangeran Uisung seorang Raja. Dan karena kepala shaman berpihak pada Ibu Suri maka akan sangat mudah menjatuhkan Ari. Pengawal istana pergi ke kediaman Pangeran Uisung dan teman baiknya. Mereka ditemukan telah mati. Raja menerima surat bunuh diri yang mengatakan kalau Pangeran Uisung dan sahabatnya mengaku bersalah karena telah merencanakan pemberontakan. Raja tak percaya dengan semua ini. Kepala shaman dipanggil menemui raja. Ia diperintahkan untuk menjelaskan isi jimat yang ditemukan di kediaman Pangeran Uisung. Kepala Shaman yang sudah bersekutu dengan Yoon Dae-hyung mengatakan jimat itu untuk mengambil kekuatan matahari Raja. Ia juga berkata jimat itu dibuat oleh Ah-ri. Raja memerintahkan agar Ah-ri segera ditemukan. Ah-ri yang terluka terjatuh di depan iring-iringan tandu seorang wanita bangsawan Dayang Han!!. Wanita bangsawan itu, Nyonya Shin, sedang hamil tua tapi ia bergegas keluar dari tandu untuk menolong Ah-ri. Ia menyuruh Ah-ri dimasukkan ke dalam tandu walau diprotes keras oleh pelayannya. Di tembok masuk kota, para pengawal sedang memperhatikan setiap orang yang masuk. Mereka mencari Ah-ri. Iringan tandu Ny. Shin sampai di pintu kota. Pengawal memperlihatkan gambar wajah Ah-ri pada pelayan Ny. Shin. Untunglah pelayan Ny. Shin menyangkal telah melihat Ah-ri. Tapi pengawal itu curiga dan menyuruh Ny. Shin keluar karena mereka hendak memeriksa tandu. Ny. Shin menolak keluar dengan alasan ia sedang hamil tua dan setiap saat dapat melahirkan. Ah-ri bersembunyi di balik hanbok Ny. Shin. Pengawal memperbolehkan tandu Ny. Shin lewat. Tapi baru beberapa langkah ia menyadari ada darah yang menetes dari tandu. Ia segera menghentikan tandu itu dan membuka jendelanya. Tapi yang tampak Ny. Shin yang kelihatan menahan sakit. Pelayan Ny. Shin pura-pura panik seakan-akan Ny. Shin akan melahirkan dan bersikeras mereka harus segera pergi. Mendengar nama keluarga Ny. Shin, pengawal itu berubah sikap dan buru-buru mempersilakan tandu itu pergi. Di tempat aman, Ah-ri mengucapkan terima kasih atas pertolongan Ny. Shin. Ia berkata bayi Ny. Shin adalah bayi perempuan dan ia cantik seperti bulan. Ny. Shin senang sekali mendengarnya karena ia sangat ingin anak perempuan. Ah-ri lalu mendapat penglihatan akan masa depan bayi itu. Gadis itu bertemu Putera Mahkota, menjadi anggota kerajaan, sakit parah, bulan tertutup, lalu kuburan. Ah-ri terkesiap tapi ia tidak mengatakan apapun pada Ny. Shin. Saat tandu Ny. Shin beranjak pergi, Ah-ri memanggilnya. Ia berkata pada Ny. Shin, walau ia harus mati ia akan terus melindungi anak perempuan Ny. Shin selamanya. Ny. Shin tersenyum mengangguk. Sayangnya tak berapa lama kemudian Ah-ri tertangkap dan disiksa di pengadilan. Teman-temannya menyaksikan dengan ngeri, terutama Shaman Jang. Shaman Jang menatap Shaman Kepala tapi Shaman Kepala menggeleng, lepas tangan dengan apa yang dialami Ah-ri. Yoon Dae-hyung, yang memimpin interogasi, menyuruh Ah-ri menjelaskan jimat itu untuk apa. Ah-ri dengan lemah berkata ia tidak tahu apapun. Ia menyangkal semua tuduhan. Namun saat Yoon Dae-hyung menyebutnya pengkhianat, Ah-ri mendadak mendapat kekuatan ekstra. Dengan tatapan murka dan suara lantang ia berbicara pada Yoon Dae-hyung “Kau pikir hanya aku yang melihatnya, bukan?! Kau pikir semua akan berakhir jika kau menyingkirkan aku, bukan?! Kau salah, kau penjahat…Bulan melihatmu. Bukan hanya darah pria itu yang terserap di pedangmu malam itu. Cahaya bulan pun terserap ke dalamnya. Tunggu dan lihat! Satu hari nanti kejahatanmu akan diungkap di bawah sinar bulan! Satu hari nanti bulan akan memutus kehidupanmu!” Yoon Dae-hyung berteriak marah memerintahkan Ah-ri kembali disiksa. Ah-ri lalu dijebloskan ke dalam penjara untuk menunggu waktu eksekusi. Shaman Jang menyogok penjaga penjara agar bisa menemui Ah-ri. Sambil menangis Shaman Jang berkata Ah-ri telah bersikap bodoh karena membiarkan cinta membawanya ke kediaman Pangeran Uisung malam itu. Ah-ri berkata baik Pangeran Uisung maupun dirinya sama sekali tidak menginginkan tahta. Shaman Jang merasa tidak berdaya karena tidak bisa menolong sahabatnya. Ah-ri meminta Shaman Jang melindungi seorang anak. Terlalu dekat dengan matahari akan membawa bencana bagi anak itu dan keluarganya, jadi anak itu harus dijauhkan dari matahari. Shaman Jang bertanya siapa anak itu tapi Ah-ri tidak memberi nama. Mereka tidak sempat berbicara lagi karena penjaga penjara menarik Shaman Jang pergi sebelum kedatangannya kepergok orang lain. Keesokan harinya adalah pelaksanaan eksekusi Ah-ri. Hukuman ini sangat kejam. Kedua tangan dan kaki Ah-ri diikat ke arah berlawanan dan ujung satunya diikatkan pada kaki empat ekor sapi. Ah-ri melihat ke langit. Ia melihat matahari terpecah menjadi dua lalu ia melihat kilatan-kilatan masa depan, dimana dua orang kakak beradik Hwon dan Yang Myung bermain dengan gembira. Lalu ia melihat putri Ny. Han Yeon-woo menjadi Putri Mahkota. Ah-ri berkata dalam hatinya “Dua matahari, dan satu bulan. Aku doakan kalian semua tetap aman.” Gong dibunyikan, keempat sapi itu mulai berjalan ke arah berlawanan hingga tubuh Ah-ri terangkat dari tanah. Shaman Jang tak sanggup menyaksikan eksekusi itu. Air mata Ah-ri mengalir, menyadari waktu kematiannya sudah tiba. Layar putih. Tepat saat Ah-ri mati, seorang bayi dilahirkan. Bayi perempuan yang dilahirkan Ny. Shin. Cute banget bayinya^^ Ny. Shin dan kakak laki-laki bayi itu terpesona dengan kecantikan sang bayi. Cantik seperti bulan. Awww…jadi inget sama nama anakku Celine. Artinya sama, cantik seperti bulan^^ Shaman Jang mengubur Ah-ri di hutan. Ia teringat permintaan terakhir Ah-ri, melindungi seorang anak. Waktu pun berlalu….. Di istana sedang dipersiapkan sebuah upacara untuk merayakan kelulusan para cendekiawan muda yang telah lulus ujian negara. Mereka akan memberi hormat pada Raja dan menerima hadiah. Namun dalam persiapan itu para dayang menemukan beberapa benda yang hilang. Bukan hanya itu, Putera Mahkota juga hilang. Kasim Hyun Sung kebingungan mencari Putera Mahkota. Di mana Putera Mahkota? Ia sedang berganti pakaian di sebuah ruangan tak terpakai. Di atas meja tergeletak barang-barang upacara yang hilang. Putera Mahkota PM mencuri? Hmm…sepertinya Putera Mahkota ini tidak sesempurna yang kita bayangkan. Ia mengganti pakaiannya dengan pakaian biasa lalu tersenyum. Di depan istana dua buah tandu telah tiba. turun dengan wajah gembira. Ia menyuruh Yeon-woo turun. Gadis itu sekarang berusia 11 tahun. Yeon-woo malah sedang asyik membaca di dalam tandunya. Ibunya menyuruh Yeon-woo segera turun. Yeon-woo menurut. Ia melangkah keluar tandunya dan tersenyum memandang istana. Mereka bergegas masuk dalam barisan dan mencari-cari Yeom, kakak Yeon-woo. Yeom termasuk salah satu cendekiawan yang lulus. Juga Woon, sahabat Yeom. Ny. Shin berkata Yang Myung tidak ada. Yang Myung juga bersahabat dengan Yeom dan Woon. Mereka bertiga adalah anak didik Tuan Heo ayah Yeom dan Yeon-woo. Kasim Hyun masih kebingungan mencari PM Hwon dan menyuruh beberapa pengawal untuk mencarinya. Sepertinya ini bukan kali pertama PM menghilang. Dan mereka harus menemukan PM sebelum Raja mengetahui masalah ini. Kalau tidak, bisa terjadi masalah besar. Raja tiba. Semua membungkukkan badan memberi hormat. Termasuk Yeon-woo dan ibunya. Tapi perhatian Yeon-woo teralihkan oleh seekor kupu-kupu kuning yang terbang menghampirinya. Jadi inget Putri Seol di My Princess, yang disambut oleh seekor kupu-kupu juga waktu hendak memasuki istana^^ Kupu-kupu melambangkan takdir Upacara dimulai. Para cendekiawan yang lulus diberi hiasan kepala dan dijamu teh. Ayah Yeon-woo melirik bangga pada anaknya, sementara Yoon Dae-hyung yang berdiri di sebelahnya melirik penuh dengki. Sepertinya ayah Yeon-woo mulai memegang peranan penting di istana hingga Yoon merasa iri. Ny. Shin melihat wajah suaminya yang sumringah dan berceloteh pada Yeon-woo tapi Yeon-woo ternyata sudah tidak ada di sampingnya. Yeon-woo sibuk mengejar kupu-kupu tadi hingga ke sebuah halaman tempat di mana Hwon sedang mengendap-endap naik tangga hendak melewati tembok. Dasar Pangeran ya, masa naik tangga aja bawa payung merah lagi warnanya hihihi…biar kulitnya ngga terbakar matahari gitu? Yeon-woo tidak menyadari keberadaan Hwon di sana. Sementara Hwon untuk sesaat terpukau melihat kecantikan Yeon-woo. Kupu-kupu itu terbang melintasi tangga Hwon. Yeo-woo behenti di sana dan baru melihat Hwon yang berdiri di tengah tangga. Hwon kehilangan keseimbangan dan jatuh menimpa Yeon-woo. Keduanya buru-buru menjauhkan diri dan bangkit berdiri. Sesaat mereka merasa kikuk. Hwon bertanya mengapa Yeon-woo bisa ada di situ. Yeon-woo malah balik bertanya mengapa Hwon berniat kabur melewati tembok. Hwon dengan angkuh berkata hanya ia yang boleh mengajukan pertanyaan. Yeon-woo menjawab yang sebenarnya, bahwa ia datang ke istana untuk melihat kakaknya. Ia menganggap Hwon juga mencurigakan jadi ia berniat memanggil penjaga kerajaan. Ia curiga Hwon adalah pencuri yang berniat kabur karena ia melihat sebuah bungkusan di tanah yang dibawa Hwon. Hwon menyangkal tapi ketika ia mengambil tasnya, isinya berhamburan keluar. Itu adalah barang-barang yang hilang seperti cangkir, permen, dan kuas kaligrafi. Yeon-woo menatap curiga sementara Hwon berusaha memikirkan alasan lain. Tapi Yeon-woo langsung berteriak memanggil penjaga. Hwon buru-buru menutup mulut Yeon-woo dengan tangannya dan menariknya melarikan diri. Mereka berhenti berlari di tempat aman, sebuah paviliun dekat danau. Yeon-woo masih berniat melaporkannya. Akhirnya Hwon mengaku kalau ia hendak keluar dari istana untuk mencari kakak laki-lakinya. Ia menjelaskan kalau kakaknya berbeda ibu dengannya tapi ia orang yang baik. Karena kakaknya anak selir, ia tidak bisa ikut ujian negara, tidak bisa mendapat karir, bahkan tidak bisa menerima cinta ayahnya. Kilas balik Hwon dan Yang Myung bermain bersama. Keduanya berlatih pedang kayu. Tapi kemampuan Yang Myung lebih baik dari Hwon hingga pedang kayunya tertuju pada leher Hwon. Keduanya tertawa. Hwon memuji kemampuan kakaknya. Sial, tepat saat itu Raja melintas dan melihat Yang Myung mengacungkan pedang kayu ke leher Hwon. Ia melihat dengan pandangan tak suka dan berlalu. Yang Myung menghela nafas panjang. Hwon mengerti alasan kakaknya hidup seperti itu karena dirinya. Ia sudah lama tidak bertemu kakaknya karena itu ia ingin menemukannya sendiri. Yeon-woo bertanya mengapa Hwon menyalahkan dirinya sendiri karena garis lahir kakaknya tidak bisa ditentukan oleh Hwon. Ia yakin jika kakak Hwon memang orang baik maka ia tidak akan marah pada adiknya. Yeon-woo lalu berceloteh panjang lebar memprotes hukum Joseon yang dianggapnya tidak masuk akal. Ia tidak mengerti mengapa kakak beradik dibesarkan terpisah, wanita tidak boleh menuntut ilmu, budak dan bangsawan diperlakukan berbeda. Hwon terperangah mendengar perkataan Yeon-woo. Yeon-woo sadar ia telah kebanyakan bicara. Yaa…dan kau baru saja mengkritik Raja di depan calon Raja p “Apa kau bilang politik Raja semua salah?” goda Hwon, ”Seharusnya aku yang memanggil penjaga istana.” Hwon berjanji tidak akan melaporkan Yeon-woo jika ia berhenti menyebutnya pencuri. Semua barang di bungkusan itu adalah miliknya. Yeon-woo heran mengapa Hwon mampu membeli semua barang mahal itu. “Karena aku adalah …..Aku adalah…. penjaga interior.” Pfffttt…. Ibu Yeon-woo meminta bantuan penjaga istana untuk mencari puterinya. Ia sangat khawatir karena tidak bisa menemukan Yeon-woo. Tepat saat itu Hwon dan Yeon-woo kembali ke istana. Ny. Shin buru-buru menghampiri putrinya dan memeluknya. Sementara Hwon bergegas menghampiri penjaga istana dan memintanya agar tidak membuka mulut dan ikuti saja perkataannya. Penjaga itu bener-bener nurut lho. Mulutnya ditutup rapat hahaha, bahkan ngga berani mengucapkan salam pada Hwon. Hwon berkata pada Yeon-woo bahwa ia sudah meminta maaf pada penjaga karena mengambil barang-barang itu dan ia cepat-cepat pergi dari sana sambil mendorong si penjaga. Saat Yeon-woo dan ibunya hendak meninggalkan istana, seorang dayang menghampiri tandu Yeon-woo dan memanggilnya. Ia memberikan sebuah surat dibungkus kain pada Yeon-woo. Ia menyampaikan pesan Hwon, yang disebutnya sebagai Tuan Muda Gedung Bulan Perak Gedung tempat mereka pertama kali bertemu, agar Yeon-woo berhati-hati jalan di malam hari mulai saat ini berhati-hati tidak membuat Hwon marah saat mereka bertemu lagi. Raja menegur PM Hwon. Dalam jubah pangerannya, Hwon terlihat berbeda. Ia terlihat tidak ceria dan sedih. Ia mengaku pada ayahnya bahwa ia keluar istana untuk mencari kakaknya. Ia ingin belajar bersama-sama dengan kakaknya. Bagaimana bisa ia mempelajari dunia jika ia hanya belajar dengan gurunya dan tidak ada orang yang diajak berdebat? Raja menjadi marah dan memecat semua guru Hwon yang dianggap menyebabkan pembangkangan Hwon. Ia melarang Hwon keluar istana dan akan segera mencari guru pengganti baginya. Hwon merasa tak berdaya. Ibu Suri bertemu dengan Yoon Dae-hyung. Kali ini mereka membicarakan bonsai. Ibu Suri berkata memelihara bonsai tidak semudah yang kelihatan. Jika kita kehilangan kesempatan untuk menonjolkan sebuah bentuk, akan semakin sulit untuk mendapatkan hasil yang kita inginkan. Ia sudah mendengar kabar kalau Raja memecat semua cendekiawan yang mengajar PM dan segera menunjuk penggantinya. Ia mengingatkan Yoon Dae-hyung pentingnya posisi itu untuk diisi dengan benar. Yoon mengangguk mengerti dan tersenyum. Ratu Han ibu Hwon memohon pada Raja agar Pangeran Yang Myung diijinkan kembali ke istana untuk menghabiskan waktu bersama Hwon. Melarang mereka bertemu malah membuat Hwon semakin merindukan kakaknya. Tapi Raja malah marah dan bersikeras bahwa itulah cara para Raja mempertahankan tahtanya. Ratu Han keluar dari kediaman Raja dan berpapasan dengan Selir Park ibu Yang Myung beserta rombongannya. Keduanya memiliki hubungan saling menghormati dan bersikap sopan satu sama lain. Selir Park meminta maaf karena putranya Yang Myung menjadi penyebab masalah. Ratu Han berkata itu bukan salah Selir Park, ia bahkan meminta Yang Myung menemuinya bila ia sudah diijinkan kembali ke istana. Pangeran Yang Myung berkeliaran di kota mengenakan baju pemburu dan menjual ayam pada pedagang di pasar. Ia melihat sekitarnya dan tertarik pada sebuah antrian panjang penduduk. Pedagang ayam menjelaskan orang-orang itu mengantri untuk bertemu dengan seorang shaman kecil berumur delapan tahun yang buta. Shaman itu dikatakan mampu melihat masa depan dan menyembuhkan penyakit. Shaman Jang sekarang menjadi shaman kepala menuju tempat yang sama. Ia sudah mendengar ada orang-orang yang menggunakan anak kecil untuk menipu. Ia berjalan ke barisan depan tapi sebuah tangan terulur menghalanginya. Ia meminta Shaman Jang menunggu giliran alias antri. Shaman Jang tidak berkata apapun dan berbalik pergi. Tapi tiba-tiba ia merasakan sesuatu dan berbalik. Ia melihat Yang Myung dan menyadari, “Ini adalah matahari Joseon yang satunya lagi.” Ia tertarik dan berdiri di ambang pintu bersama pelayannya untuk memperhatikan Yang Myung. Yang Myung pura-pura berjalan pincang mendekati shaman kecil. Sebelumnya, seorang pria yang ikut antri bertanya apa keluhan Yang Myung. Yang Myung berkata ia mengalami kecelakaan saat berburu di hutan dan kakinya sakit. Ternyata orang itu berkomplot dengan pria yang menjadi pendamping shaman kecil. Mereka saling bertukar kode. Shaman kecil itu berkata kaki Yang Myung terluka sesuai kode yang diberikan sekaligus mengkonfirmasi kalau gadis ini digunakan kelompok penipu. Tapi lalu gadis kecil itu menambahkan,” Paman, aku melihat cahaya di dalammu.” Shaman Jang yang ikut mendengar terkesiap, apakah anak ini benar-benar memiliki kemampuan paranormal? Shaman kecil itu menjelaskan ia “melihat” cahaya kuning kemerahan yang cerah warna matahari. Yang Myung mendekati shaman kecil itu dan menyingkap sedikit kerahnya, ada memar-memar di leher dan tangan anak itu. Ia meminta shaman kecil itu membuka mata karena ia akan memberinya kue. Ternyata gadis itu tidak buta dan ia langsung melahap kue pemberian Yang Myung. Kasian… gadis kecil itu sangat kelaparan. Pria di sampingnya malah terus memkuli kepala anak itu karena membuka kebohongan mereka. Para penduduk sadar telah ditipu dan meminta uang mereka dikembalikan. Kehebohan pun terjadi. Yang Myung mengangkat gadis itu dan menggendongnya keluar. Di ambang pintu, ia meminta Shaman Jang memanggil penjaga keamanan. Yang Myung menggendong gadis kecil itu untuk mencari tabib tapi ia dikepung oleh komplotan penipu yang menggunakan shaman kecil itu. Seseorang berhasil mengambil shaman kecil dari gendongan Yang Myung dan pergi. Untunglah Shaman Jang menghadang dan meminta agar anak itu diberikan padanya. Orang itu tadinya tidak mau tapi melihat para penjaga keamanan datang, ia segera menurunkan gadis tu dan kabur. Sementara itu Yang Myung dipukuli oleh komplotan penipu. Ia berkata guru pedangnya baru saja dianugerahi gelar sarjana bela diri. Mereka menertawakan Yang Myung. Jika orang seperti itu guru Yang Myung, berarti ayahnya adalah Raja. Yang Myung jatuh terkapar. Ia menghela nafas dan bangkit berdiri. Ia berkata ia mengenal Raja dan Raja tidak memiliki seorang anak penjahat. Ia melawan dengan kemampuan bela dirinya yang mengagumkan dan menjatuhkan kawanan penipu itu. Malam itu Yang Myung kembali berpakaian bangsawan. Ia berdiri di luar istana dan mengucapkan selamat malam pada ayahnya. Meminta maaf karena tidak bisa mengatakannya langsung dan ia memikirkan bagaiamana kabar adiknya. Di dalam istana, Hwon memandang ke langit. Rombongannya mengikutinya kemana pun Hwon bergerak. Kaya bebek…sorong ke kiri …sorong ke kanan…. Hwon menoleh kesal pada mereka. Ia memastikan pada mereka kalau ia tidak akan melarikan diri jadi jangan khawatir Ia tahu akibatnya, para pelayannya bisa dipecat seperti para gurunya. Angin bertiup menerbangkan kelopak-kelopak bunga. Ia teringat kejadian siang itu, ketika ia terjatuh bersama Yeon-woo dan payungnya menutupi mereka. Saat itu angin juga bertiup membawa kelopak-kelopak bunga dan menerbangkan payung itu. Hwon berpikir jika Yeon-woo tahu ia adalah putera mahkota, ia pasti akan mendengar lebih banyak celotehan. Tapi ia rasa tidak ada alasan lagi baginya untuk bertemu Yeon-woo. Hwon melihat ke langit. Payung merah itu ada di sana. Terangkut di atas pohon. Sementara itu Yeon-woo duduk di kamarnya dan membaca pesan Hwon. Pesannya berbunyi “Jika dilukis, bundar. Jika ditulis, persegi. Kelinci hidup, ayam mati.” Yeon-woo tak mengerti maksudnya. Ia bertanya pada Seul pelayannya apa arti kata-kata itu. Seul tidak membantu, ia hanya berkata jiaka ayam mati maka siapa yang membangunkan kita pagi-pagi hoho…jaman belum ada weker nih^^ Yang Myung berjalan di luar rumah Yeon-woo dan saat tidak ada orang ia melompat ke atas tembok rumah Yeon-woo. Ia duduk memperhatikan Yeon-woo dari kejauhan. Yeon-woo keluar dari kamarnya membawa surat Hwon sambil terus memikirkan artinya. Ia terus berpikir dan sadar itu bukan tulisan ayam/kelinci tapi “lahir pagi hari dan mati malam hari”. Lalu apa yang dilukis bundar dan ditulis kotak? Ia ingat kata-kata Hwon,” Aku adalah….” “Matahari..” gumam Yeon-woo terkejut. Ia sadar Heon adalah sang Putera Mahkota. Di istana Hwon memandangi payung merah itu dan berharap suatu hari nanti bertemu kembali dengan Yeon-woo. Yeon-woo jatuh terduduk di tanah. Ia merasa lega karena mereka tidak perlu bertemu lagi walau itu merupakan suatu kehormatan. Sementara itu Yang Myung yang masih duduk di atas tembok tersenyum dan dalam hari berkata, “Senang sekali bertemu lagi denganmu, Heo Yeon-woo.” Translated from dramabeans and koalasplayground’s recaps Komentar Hoaaa…..banyak pertanyaan yang terlintas di kepalaku selama membuat sinopsis ini - apakah kematian Ah-ri dan kelahiran Yeon-woo yang bersamaan ada hubungannya? Apakah Yeon-woo titisan dari Ah-ri? Apakah kemampuan Wol nanti diperolehnya dari Ah-ri? Lalu perkataan Ah-ri mengenai melindungi Yeon-woo seumur hidupnya? - kurasa sikap raja pada Yang Myung didasari pada luka hatinya karena mengira adiknya Pangeran Uisung mengkhianatinya. Ia pikir lebih baik Yang Myung dan Hwon dipisahkan dari awal agar tidak terulang kejadian yang sama. Aku menyadari pesona saeguk berbeda sekali dengan drama modern. Dari cara berbicara dan cara bersikap, semuanya serba lambat dan jelas. Setiap adegan dipenuhi intro, kadang pemandangan alam, suasana istana, suasana kota. Lalu warna warni. Drama ini penuh warna. I love it^^ Tapi sageuk tetap saja Kdrama dan sudah terlihat polanya Pasangan utama -chaebol pewaris perusahaan …di sageuk ya Putera Mahkota pewaris tahta - tak sengaja bertemu -menarik tangan dan berlari -berdebat -saling melotot Sementara poor second lead - Memandangi dari jauh - baik hati - mendekati sempurna - memendam perasaan di dalam hatinya Hmmm…sekarang pilih mana Hwon atau Yang Myung? Aku lebih suka Hwon hehe...entah ya kalau Yang Myung dewasa muncul p Tapi bintang episode kali ini adalah cute bangeeeeettt^^ pengen dibawa pulang hahaha =D The Moon That Embraces the Sun Contents 1 Details 2 Synopsis 3 User/Viewer Ratings 4 Cast 5 Production Credits 6 Notes 7 Recognitions 8 Episode Ratings 9 External Links Details Title 해를 품은 달 / Haereul Poomeun Dal Also known as The Moon Embracing the Sun / The Sun and the Moon Tagline Don’t come close!
