![]() ![]() She takes him to the prayer stones she piled, causing him to jokingly asked if she did so to pray for him to propose. At one point, he pulls her into a backhug and kisses her on the cheek, and there are smiles all around. She teaches him how to pinky promise, and he takes her hand as they walk, like a true couple. So out they go, with the town all lit up for the exorcism rite festival. She wants them to go out to the market and have a bit of fun, and proposes that they disguise themselves in order to leave the palace. Su goes into the king’s quarters with a huge smile on her face and something hidden behind her back, which she reveals to be masks. Su starts to have trouble breathing, and puts a hand over her heart. The only way to prevent more tragedy is to consolidate power around the throne, and he very bluntly says that Su is not the person to help So do that. If I were going to give up like this, I would have given up long ago,” she says.īut Astronomer Choi asks her to remember all that’s happened in this palace, and all the danger the king is now in. I only did so because I believed I would be happy one day. “I’ve been through a great deal and waited a long time. ![]() He says that she should be the one to end things since So will remain stubborn until the end, but Su meekly protests that she doesn’t want to. ![]() But those times are gone now, which is why he’s brought her here: “You must give up on marrying the king.” He laments that this tower used to be so full of life when all the princes would gather and visit, pointing out all the things each prince liked best. Su tells Chae-ryung that her wish to stay in the palace has been granted, but she soon gets pulled away by Astronomer Choi. “What is so great about this seat?” he mumbles, causing Queen Sinjeong to note that the only way he’ll leave that throne is if he dies. Again, So claims to not care about such things. The queen hands over a book written by Su, filled with symbols no one recognizes (Hangul, which wouldn’t be invented until 1446) as proof that she’s not normal. Next up to state the obvious is Queen Sinjeong, who gives her two cents about what So should do in order to keep the throne, adding that she even cast her own son out so that she could do what was best for the nation. Still, So remains steadfast in his decision to marry Su. All his problems will disappear that way. The only solution, in this day player’s opinion, is for So to marry Yeonhwa. We get a quick cut to a quiet dinner with Su and So before cutting back to So at court, with yet another official telling So all the things he’s already heard. “I became king with a face like this,” he reminds Wook. ![]() That’s when he points to his own face, to the scar hidden beneath the makeup. Do you really think I would cast Hae Su aside over a scar?” “I rose to the throne in order to acquire everything. So what’ll it be? “I will not lose either,” So says confidently. But, he adds, if So really wants to marry her, he can… only if he gives up the throne. Wook tells So much of the same thing, making sure to mention the scar. Also, there’s the scar issue to take into account, which is why Yeonhwa proposes that the two of them merely coexist when she inevitably becomes queen. Regardless, Yeonhwa notes with a sigh that while Su may be happy to wait in the king’s quarters, a woman who’s happy with only that cannot become queen without endangering the king’s position. Where were these people when we had two mad kings on the throne? Yeonhwa takes the time to school her on the politics she knows nothing about, telling her about all the opposition So now faces as king-including all the powerful families that now seek to dethrone him. When Princess Yeonhwa declares that she’ll be marrying the king, Su says she won’t believe it until she hears it from So’s lips. Basically, it just sucks to live in Goryeo. At the same time, his being king requires him to make some tough decisions, and Su has trouble understanding why the man she loves can’t always be benevolent. There are no shortages of bitter pills for Su to swallow this episode, and for the most part, she seems to base her decisions off what’s best for So and his fledgling rule. 1,027 OctoOctoMoon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo: Episode 18 by HeadsNo2 ![]()
