Scarlet Heart Ryeo Moon Lovers Ep 16 Chinese-Subbed already out

English-subbed website says, "Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo Episode 16 won’t air on SBS and International TV tonight because of livestream baseball.".   

Huh? I just finished watching Ep 16 with Chinese subs.  And it was even shown early even before 10pm Singapore time. China already has the episode & subbed it before Korean broadcast. Beijing company has the exclusive rights to sub & broadcast it. 

Unfortunately, by tomorrow, the Chinese-subbed version will be changed to Youku that don't allow viewing outside China.

I went to English-subbed website to watch the Raw (after watching Chinese-subbed because the 2 versions can be different with the silly director's deleted scenes here and there).

I love the part where the 3 men are together in the same room & they all feel the pain seeing her being hurt by the 3rd prince (King) Yo. They all love her.  It's touching to see.

Disappointing that even as a general now, Prince Jung still cannot bring himself to go against his brothers.  He wants to intervene but lets himself be stopped by Wook.

I think Prince Jung has asked to marry Hae Soo. When the King asked what he reward he wanted for securing the border, his answer wasn't shown.

The crazy king throws the teacup at Wang So. Even Wook is surprised. I like the look on his face.

 

 

King grabs her wrist. This is called serving tea at the wrong time.

 King: If not enough manpower, don't tell them to sleep.

She starts feeling the pain.

King: Where there is shortage, even if steal must also steal it to make up for the shortage.

I love this part where Wang So slowly glances up discreetly & sees her wrist. So small her wrist held painfully in that man's hand.

King: Squeeze, squeeze, and squeeze.

King: Also must finish it before the day.

 

She's very brave not to cry out. Prince Yung can't stand it anymore. About to say something, but is stopped by Prince Wook.

 

Wang So is really bothered to see her hand being gripped painfully like that.

 

She lets out a small sound.

Wang So finally decides to step in. He had earlier told her his feelings for her have changed, so he is trying his best not to show that he still cares for her.

Wang So kneels: I deserve ten thousand deaths, your Majesty. (It's my fault, your Majesty).

Prince Wook intervenes & frees her. She releases a sigh of relief & hurries away. I love the look on Prince Wook's face as he discreetly follows her with his eyes as she moves past behind him to the door. He still loves her very much.

I love these 2 men protecting her in their own way.

As for the bed scene.... there's nothing much to it. I hope she didn't sleep with Wang So, although it looks like she has. Her outer clothes have been removed & she's in bed with him in only her underwear (in those days).  And then... there's the suggestive candle blow out.  That's the old-cashioned Chinese modest way of saying the couple is having sex.

Not married & had sex already. Going to be problematic if Prince Jung has asked to marry her as his reward. How is she or Wang So going to explain they slept together already? And worse, when she's pregnant?

What happened was, Wang So was badly grazed by the arrow while protecting her from the king's intentionally shooting. He was also supposed to have been despatched outside the castle. Along the way, his wound gets worse. At the same time, Hae Soo wants to see him & gets Baek Ah to help.

She sneaks into his room.

Baek Ah:  "All other people have been cleared away. You can relax.".

His position in the scene below reminds me of King & Clown.

 

I love it when he twitches his left eyebrow in pain at seeing her. How does he do that? Just that eyebrow. Very sexy the way he falls into unconsciousness. I'm sure a lot of gay men will like this.

I love how the director tells the story as Wang So wakes.  Audience sees through Wang So's eyes. First, when he wakes, he looks to the left. Thinks there's nobody. Looks ahead with a sigh thinking that Hae Soo left, checks his wound, then turns & sees her asleep against the wall. Then the director pans out to show full view of their positions in the room.

 

 

 

 

I love this part where he reaches out his manly hand to touch her. Almost going to cup his hand around her small, lovely face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

She says she risked her life climbing over the palace wall to come here just to hear him tell her. For 2 years, not a day that she does not long for his return.

Hae Soo: Do you still love me?

He tries to resist. It's hard for him. 

I love the way he turns around & answers:

Actually, I don't like the way he kisses with his lips sucking on the other's lips like that.

I'm watching where he puts his hands when he hugs her. His hand is very near her breast. Does she mind? This is the 2nd time. First time was when she cried in the rain & he was holding her back. Is he trying to eat her "tofu" while acting? (taking advantage of her).

 

Where's her blue clothing? She took it off? Her hair has also been let down...  He is still clothed though. Maybe she was just tired & wanted to feel more relaxed?? Unfortunately, I think I've to face it. That they had sex. Why and when would a maiden take off her clothes & "rest" in bed with a man? This must be the "after sex" moment:

Has Lee Joon Gi's hands always been like this? Large & manly but very rough-looking. Sinewy. An older man's hand. She suddenly looks very (too?) young for him.
