Terrific way to meet and a great ending to the first episode!ĮPISODE 2. They stare at each other as they gallop along the road. Hae Soo is knocked to the edge of the road and about to teeter into the river, when Wang So sweeps her up into the saddles. Wang So comes thundering down the road scattering people and their packages. Standing on the edge of the road, Hae Soo is unhappy she lost her connection to her former life. She runs after him but loses him in the crowded road outside the palace. The man is astrologer Choi Ji Mong, chief adviser for King Wanggun (though Hae Soo does not know who the man is). Hae Soo spots the man she shared the soju with. She is comfortable with Prince Wang Wook, who is happily married but has a vibe with Hae Soo. Yes, two wives, one King, a recipe for intrigue and backstabbing. Hae Soo does not hit it off with Princess Hwangbo Yeon Hwa, daughter of Queen Hwangbo, the King’s other wife. Wang So wants to live at home and no longer be a hostage in the other kingdom. In return, Wang So can have whatever his brother can grant him. He asks Wang So to switch places with him at the festival so the attackers cannot hurt him (everyone are in masks so identity is easy to hide). Wang Mu knows that forces are plotting against him and the spiritual festival may be when they strike. Wang So’s father King Wanggun declares the heir, the Crown Prince Wang Mu will lead the upcoming spiritual festival. Yikes! Wang So has been bartered to broker a peace between kingdoms and he believes his is a hostage of the agreement. We also learn that his mother was the one that disfigured Wang So’s eye area during a fight with the King where she threatened Wang So’s life if the King didn’t give her what she wanted. In fact his mother refuses to see him, lying that she’s ill. That includes his six brothers and one sister.
When he arrives at the palace, no one is welcoming or happy to see him. He wears a mask over his eye and reported to be violent.
Meanwhile, Fourth Prince Wang So (Lee Joon Gi), the family black sheep returns home to the palace. Unable to remember her past, she struggles to cope with her new reality. When she wakes, she’s in the household of Madam Hae (Park Shi Eun), who is married to Prince Wang Wook (Kang Ha Neul). Hae Soo doesn’t know who Chae Ryung is or who she is either. She flees the bath and find her way to a public hot springs where her friend, Chae Ryung, is relieved to find her. She has traveled back in time to the Goryeo era. When Hae Soo wakes she’s in the royal bath (large pond) with a prince! I don’t know who was more surprised, Hae Soo or the prince. But she slips down into the water. As she spirals down, a total eclipse of the sun takes place. As the father pulls the boy into his boat, he tries to bring Hae Soo into the boat. She sees a boy in the lake that is struggling. Now if she died and came back to life, then her life could truly change. He tells her that her life can’t change easily. Next to her is a man who she shares the soju with. She sits by a lake and drinks soju to console herself. Her boyfriend dumped her for a friend and left her with debt. This isn’t my normal “blog while I watch” recap.ĮPISODE 1. I’m writing this recap after watching both of the first 2 episodes.
