Good morning, good afternoon and good night, my name is Racheliz Medina from Pijama Squad
And today I'm finally going to talk to you about Scarlet Heart: Ryeo
First of all, this drama aired from August 29 to November 1, 2016
When it first aired, I started watching it in September, around that time
but I dropped it, because of uni and work
So now that I have finally have some time left,
I picked up the drama where I left off and I finished it
And I was so shook!
I mean like that ending was
unpredictable!
and I want to discuss about theories later from the drama (for a second season)
So the plot in general for the drama is
that Hae Soo or Hae Jin, her real name from the present time
is a girl that in the first episode was really sad
It seemed that she broke up with her boyfriend
and then she goes to a near park, where it has a lake
and she meets this homeless guy
and she was telling him that life sucks and she was truly sad in that moment
So at the same time, she sees a kid drowning in the lake
She goes to rescue the kid
and while she tries to save him, he gets saved
but, then she is the one struggling to get to the surface
and while all of that is happening, the moon turns into an eclipse
So because of the eclipse, she seemed to have travelled back in time,
The drama is all about time travel, kind of science fiction
It takes her to the Goryeo era
that was the era where it was Taejo's reign, the first king we see in the series
and throughout the drama, she falls in love with
the 8th prince, and then her feelings shift
and she later falls in love with Wang So
And Wang So is the last king we see in the kdrama
So I'm going to start off talking about the cast
The protagonist is the 4th prince, who is played by Lee Joon Gi
Which most of us have known for, well at least for me
I saw him in the drama Arang and the Magistrate from 2012
and he co-stars with Shin Min Ah
you may know her from her drama, Oh my Venus
which was a recent work from her
And he also did Two Weeks,
which I think I started watching it when it aired
but it centered more on action
Lee Joon Gi is known for acting in crime/thriller dramas
I do see him more in those type of dramas
And there is IU, which plays Hae Soo
She recently acted in the drama, The Producers with Gong Hyo Jin and Kim Soo Hyun
Kim Soo Hyun right now is one of the hottest and top actors in South Korea
And well, IU's breakthrough role was in "Dream High"
She was part of the main cast
She played a girl that was a bit fat and
and she did a risky diet in where she struggled a lot from teenage struggles (insecurities)
And I believed she acted pretty well, a good role
In this drama, I truly believe it is one of her best roles yet
She really delivered, drama-wise, acting was on point
And in the end, it really got to my heart
About the other characters, they are
Kang Ha Neul, who plays the antagonist, Wang Wook aka the 8th prince
Hong Jong Hyun, who plays the one who takes the king's throne
who kills the Crown Prince and he becomes king
And the other main character is Nam Joo Hyuk's Baek Ah, who is the actor from Weighlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
which is the other video I'll film to discuss it later,
He was the third prince, the closest to Wang So
And he was the only one who supported him through everything, his journey, his struggles
So he basically is his right hand, when Wang So becomes king,
But because of the circumstances and the turn of events
everybody, including him, pulls back
and that was really sad
also, Baekhyun, which plays the 10th prince
Which I will discuss about that painful scene
And Ji Soo, who is the other prince that falls in love with Hae Soo towards the end of the drama
And I'm going to breakdown to discuss the scenes I chose that were the most important
Starting the breakdown, I wanted to discuss Hae Soo's sad fate
IU truly showed her full potential as a capable actress
I believe that one of the most important scenes from her was when she was tortured
Which she was framed and sentenced guilty for supposedly planning to poison the Crown Prince
but Wang So tried to protect her and takes the blame
but Hae Soo is left to suffer the consequences, it was one of the most important scenes
Another thing from the drama was the character Chae Ryung
She was Hae Soo's first friend in the Goryeo Era
And in the end, she was tricked into being a spy/traitor
but it was all because she loved one of the princes and we all make mistakes...
So I think, one the main lessons from the drama was that we all make mistakes because
because we all fall in love
Chae Ryung's death was devastating and truly sad
A scene that truly shocked me was Seohyun's Woo Hee
Soohyun is a singer from the girl group, Girl's Generation
Which probably you must have heard from before,
Well, she, in that scene was where she killed herself
but in the name of the land she was born
So she thought that to end all conflicts and troubles from the palace and her land
And her soulmate, which is Nam Joo Hyuk's Baek Ah
She thought that it was best to sacrifice herself and end all the trouble and conflict
So for me, it was a big shocker. A big plot twist.
Like, she was decided in marrying the 3rd prince
and everything, so I was like what the hell just happened
But she always, had as a priority her people, her land and her status
before anything else.
It was something of a "nice touch", even though it made me sad, because the drama
had so many unfortunate turn of events, and it led up to this painful twist
Another was the 10th prince's death.
Baekhyun was the actor who played the 10th prince from the kpop group, EXO.
He didn't really had much screentime.
Like at the beginning, he had a crush on Hae Soo and then, he was forced to be married with another princess.
She was the daughter of the warrior who was friends with Taejo (first king in the drama)
He is an amazing actor. I've seen him in a lot of dramas, I can't remember his name right now...
So the princess is Zhera.
Z-h-e-r-a
Never seen that actress before, but I believe she did amazingly well, hope to see her in more dramas
So the scene I wanted to go back to,
is when they are running away from the King Wang Jo
Which is the main villain of the drama, in my perspective
And this king decided to kill the 10th prince, because
apparently there were rumors of dethroning him and put the 10th prince in the throne
and when he got the news, the King decided to kill him off.
That scene was painful, not because he died, but how he had to die.
The 4th prince had to end it all himself. He had to kill his brother instead of the king
Because the king was going to kill the 10th prince with arrows, a slower way to die.
The princess was already murdered,
And it was a chaos,
How the 4th prince had to do that! He had to horribly end the 10th prince's life with his sword.
It was gruesome, because it was horrible to be the one to kill your own brother and end his misery
because your other, evil brother wanted to kill him slowly.
It was truly a strong scene, but very well acted.
I was, "Wow, what else could happen after this?"
And well, yeah I'll get into more of what happened.
For the last episodes, Hae Soo throughout the drama
At least, at the beginning, the drama had a sweet tone and atmosphere
So I truly thought the drama was going to have a light story
But after watching more, I was like... mmm
No, there were too many turn of events and they were too much
At the end, Hae Soo couldn't handle her life at the palace, she got sick
Even though, there were moments that the chemistry and romance [between the main characters]
In the end, you notice there weren't many scenes
because comparing other dramas, other concentrate on the build up of the budding romance
But in this one, it developed more the drama in the story, with Hae Soo had a purpose of being there
I think she had to time travel to help Wang So
be a better person
and for me, I think it was a different touch that really sparked my interest
because instead of focusing the drama in the romance
it really focused on the drama. In the 4th prince's struggle
and how Hae Soo came to be the person to help him become a better person
Not to let him become the past version of himself
or let his emotions dictate his decisions
and kill because of that, because before he returned to the palace
He used to be a violent person
He literally killed a lot of people, he was a violent and scary person
but he turned out to be like that, because of the things that happened to him in the past
which you can see in the drama, his mom didn't love him
he suffered from abandonment
and that is why I feel that Hae Soo had a purpose in his life
Not because she had to save him because of love, but because
She was a person who was there for him
Always.
So that brings me to the last episodes and the scenes I want to discuss
Where she decides to take off and instead of staying with him
She rejects everything from the palace life, and being his royal concubine
Not even being his official wife, because she couldn't
They explain it in the drama, why she couldn't marry
In the end, they just couldn't be officially together
And she quits that life and runs away with the other prince who is played by Ji Soo
Wang Jong
He falls in love with Hae Soo too
That was one of the funny things in the drama, almost every other prince fell in love with her
Cool.
But, in the end, she gets weaker
She gets pregnant even! From the king of course, and everything happened at the same time
She dies in the end.
And it totally was the most saddest scene in the world.
But I got so confused, because she accidentally time travelled to that era
She doesn't belong there. She got stuck there and DIED.
I was like "Okay? How is everything going back to the way it was for her?"
How, how is the circle going to close? And it didn't end like that.
That's my only complaint.
How did they let her die in the past?
It didn't really made sense to me
But now, I want to tell you my theories.
For the last episodes and scenes from the drama,
The astronomer
Was the character that always knew from Hae Soo really was, that she wasn't from that era
He's the only character that we see in the past and present
And Hae Soo did recognize him when she time travelled, that he was in her present
She did know he was the homeless guy
So he, the astronomer, tells the king, after a year of Hae Soo's death in Goryeo
He is leaving the palace for good and then he tells him
"Like don't worry, Hae Soo isn't from this time, you'll be able to find her"
AND YOU ARE LIKE, THE F*CK.
LIKE HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?
She died stuck in that era.
How was she going to return to the present?
So my theory... I think is when she sees the paintings in the museum
She thought that the memories where nightmares. We see her cry in bed
She realizes that they were memories,
Towards the ending,
He says [Wang So] looking at the camera, "I'm going to find you" referring to Hae Soo
And you are like: WHAT WHAT WHAT?
so as for my theory, after all the suffering,
I wanted that happy ending.
I really thought they were going to give us that happy ending,
But sadly, it wasn't like that.
So it leads you
to an open ending
that possibly they'll find each other again in the present time
They never explained how the astronomer got back in time
That's what we assume, as a viewer, that
That the astronomer knows the way to cross from time to time, to time travel
And maybe, the astronomer told the king about it before he left,
So let's see what happens, I really wish for a second season,
But, it depends, usually korean dramas don't have second seasons.
That is an big exception, unless they do it, but change the actors from the original cast
But I really want that season two.
And that they would answer me that question
that how the astronomer time travelled
If Wang So will "rescue" Hae Soo
Or at least see her again in the present time.
And all of these doubts that they left us
What the hell? After all that suffering?
They aren't going to be together ever?
Yeah, they did loved each other and
I did understand the main concept that
it was all about making Wang So a better person to be a wise king
but yes, at the end, you want that happy ending.
So I need that season 2 for Scarlet Heart
PLEASE KDRAMA GODS, MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
So for rating, I shall give with pillows [pillow rating]
5 to 5 pillows
because I liked the drama very much and
I was hooked and obsessed, playing it non-stop
to know what happens
and I truly suffered along IU
she acted so well and Lee Joon Gi too! They did such a good job together.
5/5 I give it that, so beware of my next kdrama video,
in where I'll discuss Weighlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo!
Which will be in the channel later in the week!
