Ep 9 Scarlet Heart Ryeo Wang So (Lee Joon Gi) Kisses Hae Soo

I like this scene. I hope the director don't cut this from the Eng sub version. 4th Prince takes a kiss that the 8th prince never dared take.

I just finished watching this Chinese-subbed that was already out 1 hr (or earlier) after the Korean broadcast.

This scene is partly cut in the Raw version. It's a pity.  The Raw version just shows until he kisses her & the angle of his kissing is not nice compared to the Chinese-subbed version.

Raw version kiss is cut short & ends here. In the Chinese-subbed version, this scene is missing (thank goodness). The lips is not nice. 

Poor Wang So.  Just got rejected again by his horrid mother. And now rejected by Hae Soo who has started having visions of what she thinks is the future. Why don't she consider that by fearing Wang So like this, she's making him worse?

Possible that because she fears & rejects him like this, he grows to hate everyone.  She is unwittingly creating the future that she doesn't want to see.

I like his kissing scene here in the Chinese-subbed version. The sound she makes. He still doesn't know that she & the 8th prince are together already.  He keeps saying she is his.

4th Prince: You're mine. Mine. Mine!

 

I love his hand here (below). Look at his last finger. So gentle & manly the way he holds her neck. Like holding a delicate flower. So sexy.

Missing Scenes from Ep 8 Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo Subbed vs Raw

Arrghh... I wish I knew what the 4th prince (Lee Joon Gi) is saying!!!

This below scene is in the Raw but was deleted from the English & Chinese-subbed versions!!

Chinese-subbed is faster than English. Not only out faster but already subbed (when English site Raw not even out yet)!

>.< Why didn't he kiss her??

I have been wondering how Prince Wang So steals her from Wook who has already captured her heart. This is the scene where he moves her heart. Her heart is now divided. 

I really don't know how the director can remove such an important scene!!

In the Eng & Chinese-subbed versions, they just show until Hae Soo uses a brush to cover his scar, then skip to next scene where the 3rd  prince is going to sit but is interrupted by Wang So who has his scar already covered with make-up.

What a pity!

The director seems so desperate to get viewers to like the drama that he is cutting his own work. He should have done it perfect the first time, the way that he thinks is right. Once it's out, he shouldn't touch it anymore.  At least not while it's being shown.

This scene is where Hae Soo uses make-up to hide the prince's scar. Shows him the mirror but hears the drum call for him to appear outside in public.

This episode shows up his age on his skin quite a lot. Unfortunately, due to lack of sleep or care, Lee Joon Gi isn't looking young anymore regardless of the make-up.  But he's still surprisingly interesting & sexy to watch. :)  He has sexy hands. But I notice, more veins now that he is older? Or maybe because he's thinner?

 

 

 

The below scene is in the Eng-subbed version. But missing from Chinese-subbed. Party-pooper... 4th Prince. Purposely. Just when everyone thought he would be pleased with Hae Soo's favourite teas for everybody, he tells her to take his away.

I was really happy to see this refreshing scene. Because it was unexpected. Last night, I saw the Chinese-subbed version & this scene wasn't in.

 

 

Ooh.. I was thinking how did she find out all their favourite drinks. :) This scene is in the Eng-subbed version. But again missing from Chinese-subbed version.

 

 

Scene only in the Eng-subbed version. The prince then purposely hangs onto her for fun, not realizing he's causing her to be in trouble.

 

 

Scene only in Eng-subbed. She's punished by Concubine Oh. Where's the bracelet that hides her scar?

Missing scene from Chinese-subbed version. This is where the youngest prince says he's bored & that's how the general's daughter was out with him to catch a bird. Chinese-subbed version just starts out with them in the field catching a bird.

The Eng-subbed version has this scene that explains how it happened.

Side note 1: This below scene is not missing. But I find it amusing that dried orange peel is considered to be a "precious" item. :) Maybe it's from special oranges.

Side note 2: The director should edit this below scene.  It is not missing. But why does Lee Joon Gi have double chin??  I can't help noticing. It looks very odd. What happened? He's thin, it shouldn't happen. But looks like he's got sagging skin. When he stretched his neck up to look at her just before this moment, it appears he has some wrinkles down his neck.

Side note 3: This scene is not missing. But think about what Hae Soo is saying. Everyone has problems. They didn't ask to be born. Whose decision was it? People need to stop reproducing. Problems start the moment you are born.  Health problems, money problems, people problems, housing problems, food problems...

 

 

(Update 24 Sept Sat 1:45pm. Happened to see this on Youtube. The Eng-subbed missing scenes for this episode. So troublesome. The director. What's the point of deleting scenes here & there. So frustrating for the viewers. In the end, the viewer still has to hunt for these missing scenes & piece them together in the head.)

 

Ezbuy Hanjin Sea Shipping & Crazy Online Chat Staff Boey

I didn't know Ezbuy was using Hanjin to ship their Sea & Sensitive Sea containers.  If I didn't ask about my item, I wouldn't have known. If I had known, I would use Sensitive Air or don't buy at all.

Hanjin container shipper bankruptcy was in Yahoo news since 1-2 weeks ago. I was talking about it to bro about 1-2 weeks ago. He even suggested that maybe Ezbuy uses Hanjin. I didn't think so. Well, turns out he's right.

Suddenly I noticed Ezbuy's Sea shipping ETA extended so long. Normally it's within 2 weeks. But the recent orders, ETA 3 weeks. No announcement about Hanjin.

My item shipped out on 26 Aug, now just arrived (today 16 Sept Friday). 21 days!

Normally, it's just 12 days or 14 days. At most 16 days. I'm lucky it arrived at all. It was ordered for a customer who has been asking for it.

Almost everything has to be shipped by Sea or Sensitive Sea. Ridiculous.

Furniture, skincare products, anything with battery or motor, even soap bars. I don't know how many  Ezbuy customers' items are stuck with Hanjin at the moment.

I "talked" to their online staff "Boey" who is as stupid as ever. Whenever you click on chat & see "Boey", just get out. It's a crazy China person. You ask 1 thing, he/she will answer something irrelevant. This is not the first time.

It is however, the first time that I left the chat without any "thanks". Just let it hang. Nothing to talk to a crazy China person. China pollution ruined their DNA.

"Boey" gave me template answers. In fact, he/she didn't know where my shipment was.  At first said it's due to Hanjin delay & new ETA updated to 23 Sept. When I said there is no update, "Boey" said it seems to be some problem at customs.  Then "Boey" repeats that it's Hanjin shipping problem & new ETA has been updated to 23 Sept.

Ezbuy calls it unforeseen when Hanjin has actually been sustaining losses for the past 5 years since 2011, according to news report. One or 2 weeks ago, news about Hanjin bankruptcy appeared. Yet Ezbuy never made any announcements.

Worried for my other items that are sitting in the Sea shipment warehouse, I asked "Boey" to move them to Sensitive Air. The items haven't moved for the past 2-3 days. Yesterday, I asked Ezbuy to ship out before the holiday (China's mid-autumn festival), but the items remained in the warehouse. 

Now, the items are sitting in the Sea warehouse, presumably due to the China 3-day Mid-Autumn festival holidays. 

Look at crazy Boey's replies. He/she should have just said that due to the holidays, items still in warehouse & will be shipped using another shipper. Instead he/she started talking rubbish.

Her robot brain just broke down.

What's happening is that crazy "Boey" is chatting with more than 1 customer. So, "Boey" just anyhow replied & made no sense. Those last 2 messages are meant for another customer regarding US shipping of liquids. I know because I asked them about liquids before.

Crazy thing is, this "Boey" don't even know what's wrong. For goodness' sake, can't she/he just scroll up & check first before replying??

When I didn't reply for a while because not interested in talking to crazy "Boey",  he/she asked if there was anything else before offline at 6.30pm.  Fri 6.30pm offline. Normally, they are online until 10pm.

In the end, the matter has resolved itself. The items shipped out today, amazingly on a Sat with a 3 weeks' wait till October for just toothpaste & shower gel. Normally, it would have been a 2 weeks' wait.

China side can sometimes be surprisingly hard-working with dispatch of items, domestic delivery & shipping out even on weekends.

I checked Oops to see how's their side doing. Sure enough, they have also been hit by the Hanjin bankruptcy. But surprisingly, they informed customers of how they are handling it. Even telling customers that they paid the $5000 refundable deposit per container to PSA for release of the items.

My guess is, Ezbuy saw the disaster earlier than Oops & managed to avert it. Maybe.

Seems not many customers have been affected. Not a single complaint in the Ezbuy Facebook page.

Ezbuy switched container shipper in time, but is a slower shipper (Hanjin was faster or maybe the transition to new shipper took up an extra week), hence the longer ETAs for recent orders. Any customers caught in Hanjin problem will just get an apology from Ezbuy that will just say it was unforeseen.

Look at Oops' Facebook handling of the problem:

Moonlight Drawn By Clouds Ep 8 Crown Prince's Words

I am the same. Therefore, don't say things lightly.  Why take back what you've said? Ridiculous. What's said is said. Only cowards will take back what they said. Neither will I apologize for what I said. To say something is to take responsibility for it & the consequences.

 

Hae Soo's Song & Missing Scenes Ep 7 Scarlet Heart Ryeo Raw versus Subbed

Chinese-subbed version already out within 1 hour after broadcast. Much faster than English version that is still not subbed until tomorrow.  

Conversation between 8th prince & Yeon Hwa in Raw/uncut version. Missing from Chinese & Eng-subbed versions.

Scene in Raw/uncut version. Crown prince's skin allergy being treated with cream/paste by astronomer Ji Mong.

Aii... why must Korean director do this? Why release uncut versions?? And then there's the cut version in the subbing??  So troublesome. So confusing.

Missing in the Raw version this time, is the scene where the proud Queen Yoo walks by the crown prince's medical room & overhears the crown prince telling concubine Oh not to punish Hae Soo. This scene is not in the Chinese subbed version (but it is in the Eng subbed version).

ARGGHHH!! What a pity. In the raw/uncut version, important missing scene!!! 8th Prince hugs Hae Soo!! Fortunately, it's in the Chinese & English subbed version. I love that part.

Missing. Missing from raw version! While Hae Soo is pounding herbs with the youngest prince, Prince Yong (Jung) enters to display his new sword skill.  This scene is in the English subbed version.

The order of this below scene is different in the Raw version. In the raw version, it's much before the "bear" scene. In the Chinese & Eng subbed versions, this scene comes after the "bear" scene where one of the princes ask where everyone went & if they have been left out.

In the raw version & Chinese subs, Hae Soo sings all the way & completes the song with very beautiful, gentle piano music at the instant Prince So realizes he loves her. The director shouldn't have changed this. During this, there is no voice-over by Hae Soo in the raw version.

In the Chinese-subbed & English-subbed version, there is voice-over of her feelings regarding the bonding of the brothers.

Chinese-subbed version 44.44 from start of her song to 46.30 when Prince So walks off.
Raw version 14.42 to 16.33. Length is the same.

In the English-subbed version (released later), her singing is horribly interrupted by the soundtrack at that time.

Incidentally, the piano background music sounds like it was taken from My Love From the Stars.

Also, the Chinese-subbed version of her song is better & more meaningful about friendship. The English subbed version lyrics is oddly depressing for a happy occasion.

Hae Soo's song lyrics translated from Chinese-subbed version:

In the fierce wind that mercilessly cuts and blows against my face,
I smile for a sliver of your gaze.
Among the hurrying crowds that brush against me as they pass,
I smile for a few friends.
If find a place that's not lonely,
Take me there with you, take me there.
Friend, friend, this is you. Thank you.

Hae-Soo's voice-over: Hope you all will always be good like this.
Can you not be King? That's you. Thank you.
Don't forget this moment, ok?

Additional missing scene: Raw version: The part where Prince Jung (Chong) takes the bear skin from the woman & scolds the youngest prince for being too pushy & scared her away.

Additional missing scene from Eng & Chinese subbed versions: The part where Prince So sits by the pond/lake & remembers Hae Soo. The flashback is only once about Hae Soo singing. But in the Raw version, there are 4 flashbacks.

Also, different angle of filming 4th Prince's face when he says, "Must you... see it?".  Raw version is better (side view of Lee Joon Gi's face). More mysterious, sexy & younger profile when he says it.

In the Eng & Chinese subbed versions, the angle cuts from a very brief show of his profile to the front view of his face when he says it.

Chinese & Eng-subbed versions:

English Translation of Starting Funeral Song Ep 6 Scarlet Heart Ryeo Lady Hae

Ok, I'm watching the Chinese-subbed version to get the missing scenes in Eng-subbed version. 

Opening scene is in both Raw & Eng subbed. But here's a bonus where the Chinese sub translated the song (into Chinese). And here I have translated the Chinese words into English.

It's a bit like the Funeral Blues poem in Four Weddings & A Funeral (stop all the clocks, etc...).

Of course, the Chinese lyrics is better & more meaningful than translating it into English.

Missing Scenes in Raw Vs Eng Sub in Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo Ep 6

Last night, the moment the Raw came out, I am positive I saw at the beginning, there's a scene where the artist prince was looking at his portraits of Lady Hae while siting & crying with Hae Soo. That scene disappeared this morning when I watched the Eng Subbed version.

I thought maybe that scene didn't happen. Maybe I only remembered it from the preview.

But then I continued watching & suddenly there's a scene that wasn't in the Raw!! Youngest prince winks at the other prince while they are getting her out. The other prince then tosses a stick to a guard & they start fighting while the youngest prince & Hae Soo sneak away. EH???  What the heck? Can scenes be added like this after broadcast??

I am watching it now. Eh? And now there's another scene that wasn't in the Raw. Another prince is squatting & reluctantly distracts the guards with silver ingots while the youngest prince & Hae Soo escape. Eh???

And then... when that youngest prince was revealed on the horse, he flapped his tongue at that greedy Hae man & the princes laughed (close-ups with lengthy laughter). In the Raw, he didn't flap his tongue & the princes didn't laugh.

Why have scenes been altered?  So odd. If Dramafire uploaded the Raw after deleting a few scenes, then in this Eng Sub, there should remain the scene where the artist prince cries over Lady Hae's portraits with Hae Soo. But that scene is gone from the Eng Subbed version this morning.

Crap. I would love to know what the artist prince said to Hae Soo. 

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the Chinese subbed version last night. Couldn't find one to watch this episode. And Youku didn't allow non-members to see an episode until after 1 week had passed after watching the previous episode.

And another extra scene not in the Raw: Youngest prince asks the other prince if Hae Soo was going to be their mother.  >.<

What the heck happened with the Raw??? Why were so many scenes deleted in the upload? Can't be they broadcast the episode twice, right?? The second version uncut????!!

Another scene missing from the Raw: Hae Soo's clothes being removed by Concubine Oh. This scene is prolonged a little more in the Eng Subbed with Hae Soo's neck being shown.

Looking at the Raw again, I confirm that this scene was in the Raw but missing in the Eng subbed version. I remember that while watching this scene, I was thinking I wished that it was subbed. I wanted to know what the prince was saying.

So was this scene broadcast on Korean TV or not? I just checked the Chinese-subbed version & this scene is also missing.  The director must've removed this scene thinking that 1 scene with them "bonding" is enough (in a later recall by the prince where Hae Soo is drunk.).

Raw version:

After this scene, then is the scene where she enters the 14th prince's dark room with a lantern.

Another missing scene in the Eng-subbed version: 4th prince (Lee Joon Gi) happens to see the Bad Guy prince & they trade insults before artist prince leaves with 4th prince.

And where's that argument that the Queen Yoo had with the King? Missing in the Eng-sub.

And the part where 4th prince nearly strangles the astronomer Ji Mong? What was that about? Where is it??

Wahh... A lot can be missing & still the episode can be watched like nothing's missing.

I just Googled & they are saying the director released uncut versions for ep1-3. He must have done the same thing for Ep 6? But how could the Raw & Eng subbed be so different within a few hours??

*Sighs* Don't know why Korean dramas are like that. Once done is done. What the heck doing cuts & stuff while the drama is going on?? It's very confusing.

Everyone wants to see the whole uncut thing. Why leave things out if you're going to put it in anyway?? If you've filmed it, just show the damn thing. 

Also: The director changed what the 4th prince (Lee Joon Gi) said during the horse-ride with Hae Soo. Listen to his Korean words in the Raw/cut version versus the subbed versions.

In the Eng & Chinese-subbed versions, he says the word "Eppu" (pretty) which he didn't say in the raw/uncut version. In the raw/uncut version, he says something different (different words) without the word "Eppu".

In the English-subbed version, 4th prince said it's not because he likes her that he's doing it. In Chinese-subbed version, he says it's not because she's pretty that he's doing it.

Also, after speaking, 4th prince shouts "Hyah!" to the horse in the raw/uncut version but the sound is cut off (silent) in the subbed versions. 

Side note: Somehow while the camera is focusing on his hand while they are jigglingly up & down on the horse with the sound of the reins, it looks a bit obscene...
