Bladey He's still at the height of success.
So Jumong returns to the palace after having found his sense of self and he is given a position by the King. You know, I really have moment when I ask just what is Geum Wa. Selfish coward and hypocrite or a man who trully wishes to care fo jumong as the son of his friend. or maybe he just does it for YooHwa, because he loves her. For this reason, he keeps eluding the brackets and doesn;t let himself be labelled. He's just as perceptive and clever. He knows when he can make a move. I think his position is quiute precarious too, in a way, even though I have a suspoicion that the reason he jadn;t trained Jumong as a child was because he was resentful of Hae Mo Su's power and I found that frustrating, given than in the initial episodes he probably alo had a deep desire for his friend to die. And yet, he tries to give Jumong opportunities and in this episode during his heart to heart with Jumong, his words sway me to think that he is genuine and honest in his concerns for Jumong...as much as he afford to be. or maybe he is just trying to silence Jumong by sucking up to him. or maybe he really is trying to offer him a possibility of fulfilling his destiny as Hae Mo Su's son. I am really in double minds about Geum Wa. However, as a king, his stiuation due to changing influences in court is always changing. a master can quite easily turn into a slave. And Yoo Hwa is really perceptive in this matter. Winds of change are about to blow. The Crown prince issue has been taking him too long too decide. He is alreay overstretching his authority.
On his side, Jumong, who in this episode now brings his three friends to the palace, is really clever in the way he is gradually building up a circle of trusted people who will follow him to the ends of the earth because he shows his people that his actions are governed by genuine interest and concern for them. The way of Hae Mo Su and his son is to be more forgiving and understanding. i think it points to the genuine strength of character of these two heroes.
For Jumong this is too much success and I am expecting to see a downards spiral soon. An anyway, I dare say his destiny lies elswhere rather than in this kingdom. BuYeo belings to someone else. He is of a different blood. Nothign can change that and so Destiny awaits.

AdeNike This isn't bad either..... It's filled up with suspicions. Eun Jae is suspicious of Moo Yul and Su Yeong, she thinks her past is about to repeat itself. And she wants to try everything to stop it from re-occurring. There's this creepy poem about putting Methanol in coffee...
There's also a trip to Japan
In between -- the manger, manger Kim Tae Han is really robot-like, but he's so efficient, cool, calm and collected.

I loved this episode. No one is going to tell Jumong the truth about his lovely father, so he goes out to try and get closer to him and his ideas...not only to capture closeness he is missing but also to regain a sense of his self and affirm his goals. He is accompanied by his three musketters and in that we see the formation of foundations for things to come.
My heart keeps breaking as I feel for Jumong's loss even more and it immediately makes me want to rage on Geum wa for his selfishness...even though Geum Wa is in a precarious position and has to be careful, his action at the start of the drama were driven by ulterior motives, while Hae Mo Sul was s selfless. Gosh, my heart is really breaking for this father and son, who are one an yet never had a chance to be together. My heart both break and warms at this, really Hae Mo Su has left a strong imprint on me but what he was Jumong starts to emulate now and will outgrow...while eclaiming all that had been taken from his because of selfish desires and fear.
And so Jumong affirms his mission and goals and gains foundation and thus breaks free from the lies that had bounded him up to know. He is no longer the prince but has finally returne to his true origins. The final scene was very nice. Cinematography in here is simply lovely.

It's beginning to gain momentum. The Mystery aspect of WR is beginning to unveil or rather make itself known.
Park Moo Yul and Eun Jae gets locked up in a ware house. PMY receives a threatening message... Well, someone seems to want him dead and Park Moo Yul and Eun Jae had a bet....
Off to watch ep 3~~~

Well, this ep isn't bad. We have a picture of what the drama entails - comedy, mystery, sport....
We are also introduced to Park Mul Yoo and Eun Jae, who are the principal casts, and the other ''main'' casts.

Hangebokhan Oh, please no!!!!!!!! At the moment, the DC video is flipped and the audio is laggy. Wait a few days ^^;; I love medical dramas with a passion unmatched. I swear though, I am getting huge SJS Cain and Abel vibes. If they pull that S*** again, I will not be responsible for my actions. It gets till the end of the week to convince me it will not turn hardcore mello.

Elisabetta Some rant and SPOILERS ahead!
I have some serious issues with this ending. Let me just say, that if I haven't watched so many dramas before or if this drama wasn't so epic for the most part it wouldn't bother me so much, but it did. Why would you do this to me?! I believed that this story will have a worthy ending (despite previous episodes it still could be done), but why would they go into such cliche, so overused ending I cannot comprehend- I mean- TIME JUMP?!Really?! You couldn't think of anything better? I'm glad their ended up together, but for me there where many things lacking. Let me write, what I think should be there:
- for the few previous episodes, Haru was lacking in performance, he has not, even once, expressed his feelings to Aki, considering it was brought up both by Hotta - accusing Haru for not giving his 100% in defending his love and by Yoko who explained him that unless he express his true feelings Aki will not be brave enough to love him, that scene was really desired.
- I?m glad Aki split with her boyfriend ? but why it was his idea(or actually Tomo?s idea)? It?d be better if she did that either on her own accord or after hearing much desired Haru?s confession.
- even if they had to do that time jump, which can be as last resort explained ( ok, Haru can only love a girl that will wait for him or something), their meeting after 3 years(sic!) should still be different, but it was really emotionless and shallow and both of them know how to show emotions, they have proven it before.
- I get that ?I know that you know that I know and I understand? vibe in Asian dramas, but I really enjoyed how they explained their feelings in first episodes, before they switched to that telepathic mode ?they were more realistic before (The one and only justified use of telepathic mode was in My Mighty Princess, where we could actually hear what they are thinking)
In my perfect world Haru would have expressed his feelings to Aki ? he can do that with his eyes only, he have very expressive eyes ;) and then he should take her with him to Canada, even if it would be tough for them it would make more sense than asking her after 3 years. I really don?t like time jumps, I?ve seen too many. Now that I have my rant over, I going off to write a positive review, because this drama was truly great, no matter what.

Spoilerish of course! Although I don't really like how the story goes, I find something interesting about it.I like how it shows the difference between Aki's hopes and anticipation and the reality about her old boyfriend and their love. After all that 'romantic' story of waiting, it's finally apparent, that there was nothing to wait for and that they grew apart so much that there is nothing real about their relationship anymore. Aki is trapped by it and it's painful to watch.

I wish Haru would follow advises that everybody is giving him, he should shelter and protect Aki more. And I knew her old boyfriend is up to no good. If someone is described as always gentle and polite, it's usually means he's insincere. What Haru did with him was a very healthy reaction. But I'd prefer he would rather give some love to Aki and didn't let her go back to that bastard.

I really really love stories where the underdog has to undergo a trila and show everyone that he's not an undedog at all. In this case, as the finale to the competition for the Crown prince title due to the consideration of the King, Jumong can finally leave the shadow and show what he's made of. He is his father's son! The minister is wrong about him- the heart of the kindgomg. go, you...if Jumong's father had been left alone in the first place, things like this would have never happened. Jumonong's father was a modest and very talented man, he just wanted to do his boit and not much else beyond a simple happiness yet others had somehow led him on a path that tore him apart.
The tournament was the definite highlight in this episode, especially glorious was the archery contest- really captured the fact that his father lives in him. He showed them all right! Another high point was the sword fight..it clearly showed Jumong and his eldest brother evenly tied...they are of equal strength and worthy opponents and Dae So is amart, because he recognizes this fact and feels threatened. And Jumong..oh Jumong is a dream of a man. There is one scene in an earlier episode where the merchant girl comes to see him practising and she is mesmerised. Can't say I blame her. Jumong is nit only hot and perceptive, he also knows and is starting to develop wisdom akin to his father's. He KNOWS how to win the hearts of people. He's bloody perfect. Go, Rookie! Well, hes not such a rookie here anymore.

I really wish these characters learned to communicate rahter than make decisions they later blame on Fate. So frustrating. But this episode featured one of the finest father-son moments I've seen. it was very very touching. I was really hoping it would have turned differently, but.
Our Jumong is getting stronger. Go, Rookie. This first arc that finished with this episode just sealed your fate, it seemes!

Brigicz This episode was seriously good. The way Yoon Jae confessed was simple yet heartbreaking. Although it would have been better if he said it sooner. With this episode we got to the 21st century. Now what will happen?

Spoilerish! I'm a little bit disappointed with Haru from now on. If a girl told you before "Don't give me away to anyone" (referring to episode before)you shouldn't give up so easily. If he would said just a word to Aki, if he asked her to stay with him just once, if he gave her that damn key, she would've follow. But he just let it go.. And Aki... kawaisou... she is so lost, you can see she wants to be with Haru, but she lacks the strength and frankly he doesn't give her any support with that.
