THE DRAMA TITLE MOON LOVERS - SCARLET HEART: GORYEO THE MEANING If one is looking for a superb drama to watch this autumn, look no further. The saguek drama ‘Moon Lovers’ with its irresistible allure, is poised to take the limelight. The shooting of the drama is completed, so is the subtitling of the 20 episodes. It seems that the Drama Director, Production Staff and Design Department have already crafted and finalised the title in English but it is still not very clear why so many over-enthusiastic drama writers and drama sites are flirting with various alternatives. Everywhere one turns, the place is rife with their own versions of the title.  Bombarded with so many suggestions, the drama staff must be mighty pleased with the unrivalled enthusiasm and passion of fans and writers who compete to offer more interesting options. Sometimes, it takes different people to view the title with fresh eyes to be able to suggest better possibilities and arrive at a title that is fit for that Amazing Royal Story. The title suggested by the saguek drama staff seems to be: Moon Lovers – Scarlet Heart: Goryeo Or Moon Lovers – Scarlet Heart: Ryeo ‘Moon Lovers’ obviously is the main title and ‘Scarlet Heart: Goryeo’ is the subtitle or secondary title. Previously, many fans and writers had thought that there were two separate titles. The Ryeo or Goryeo is used to differentiate the Chinese Scarlet Heart (Bu Bu Jing Xin) from the Korean adaptation. What does Ryeo mean? Is it the short form of Goryeo? If so, are they using it because it glides easily over the tongue?     Gorgeous Eyes: The Fourth Prince, Wang So The Moon and The Sun   (Lee Joon Gi) https://www.instagram.com/p/BG6oPNwAofX/?taken-by=actor_jg The Moon refers to Wang So. In the promotional or teaser posters, we are told that Wang So does not want to be The Sun (king). It implies that he wants to remain as The Moon but his light shines brilliantly. Does it also imply that he, as The Moon, has overshadowed or eclipsed The Sun or the other Suns, meaning the kings including his father, King Taejo and the preceding two kings, his brothers? Think ‘Solar Eclipse’ and ‘The Full Moon’. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon is full. It is then that the moon eclipses the sun. At the height of the moon's brilliance, even the radiance of the sun is obscured. The suns are upstaged by a luminous moon. Solar Eclipse: The Sun is eclipsed by the Moon Most understand what ‘Moon Lovers’ mean. It speaks of the fateful meeting of two lovers from different millenniums - she, from the third millennium and he, 'The Moon' is from the first millennium.  The other part of the title, ‘Scarlet Heart: Goryeo’ is not too difficult to understand either. Goryeo is self-explanatory. It refers to the Goryeo Dynasty that was founded by Wang Geon or King Taejo in the tenth century. It is the name from which its modern name, Korea, is derived. ‘Scarlet’ means a brilliant red colour, like blood or the colour of flames. In Korea, there is no symbolism for scarlet although red symbolizes passion. In western culture, scarlet, being a strong colour, symbolizes power, wealth, luxury, nobility, courage, passion, force, joy, blood and sacrifice. It is also associated with wickedness, immorality, lust and sin.  However, in Chinese alchemy, *scarlet heart means a sincere heart (chixi wuwei) or perhaps, it conjures up the idea of sincerity, fidelity and loyalty. This also describes Wang So other than what is being described in western terms. Wang So or Emperor Gwangjong of the Goryeo Dynasty has a scarlet heart as he is ruthless and cruel / loyal. Therefore, he is The Scarlet Heart of Goryeo. If Emperor Gwangjong is the Scarlet Heart of Goryeo, the drama title would seem to bespeak Gwangjong’s capacity for cruelty and ruthlessness. The drama would most certainly be slathered with gore and violent power struggles. Or it could tell another side of Gwangjong, his sincerity and loyalty to the Goryeo Kingdom / Empire and his sincere love towards Hae Soo. Wouldn’t it make more sense, then, to rephrase the title in other ways: Moon Lovers: Goryeo’s Scarlet Heart or Moon Lovers: The Scarlet Heart of Goryeo Imagine it in another way. (Joon Gi Lovers: Korea’s Sweetheart) (Joon Gi Lovers: The Sweetheart of Korea) Just think of it: If there are sequels, Wang So might be reincarnated as a Joseon King. Then, the title might read: Moon Lovers: Joseon’s Scarlet Heart   If there is going to be a movie version, it might be: Moon Lovers: The Reincarnated Scarlet Heart (or what nots) But then, we suppose the Drama Director, Production Staff and Design Department have long debated over the issue.  Instead of being helpful, writers or fans might add to the confusion. It might be the case of too many cooks. And if the ‘final’ version is decided, writers, viewers and fans would have to toe the line and close ranks. *Zhang Zilie Compendium of Correct Characters

THE PRINCES AND HAE SOO PERSONALITY TRAITS (Top left)  3rd Prince Wang Yo (Hong Jong-hyun), 4th Prince Wang So (Lee Joon Gi), Hae-soo, the Time Traveller (IU), 8th Prince Wang Wook (Kang Ha-neul) (Bottom left) 14th Prince Wang Jung (Ji Soo), 10th Prince Wang Eun (Byun Baekhyun), 13th Prince - the other Wang Wook (Nam Joo-hyuk), 9th Prince Wang  Won (Yoon Sun-woo) The heart-thumping teaser-trailer for the drama had been released last month. To many would-be viewers and fans, the waiting period for Lee Joon Gi’s most-awaited latest drama must seem like an eternity.  To add to the suspense and tension, the main promotional poster which features the drama’s star-spangled cast has also been released. The teaser poster is a composite picture of seven of the eight princes – Lee Joon Gi, Kang Ha-neul and Byun Baekhyun, to name a few, and IU. The drama portfolio is impressive, and seven of the eight captivating princes and the 21st century female time-traveller are shown to artistic perfection in the character posters. All of them, particularly, the lead actor, Lee Joon Gi, look so handsome and dreamy that it seems almost surreal. When the drama poster and the title were revealed, it attracted nationwide attention (Korea) as well as popular foreign interest, particularly in Asia. The puzzle of the personalities of the seven princes is not that easy to solve, what with the miserable promotional handouts. In the individual character posters which also includes that of IU, some aspects of each character is disclosed. One cannot help but try to second guess their personalities based on the Teaser Trailer, Goryeo history and one’s knowledge of Bu Bu Jing Xin. THE 4TH PRINCE, WANG SO / EMPEROR GWANGJONG (LEE JOON GI) https://www.instagram.com/p/BHazcysDKCG/?taken-by=actor_jg The first character poster, that of The Fourth Prince, Wang So (appropriately described as ‘The Moon’), claims that ‘he did not want to be ‘The Sun’ but his light shone brilliantly’. It implies that he had probably eclipsed and overshadowed all the ‘Suns’. He, in fact, did outshine all his predecessors (‘The Suns’) as he became the fourth monarch, another sun, but the first emperor, Emperor Gwangjong. The handsome and charismatic Prince Wang So is a fascinating and compelling enigma. He, with his sword dripping with blood, seems to announce that he has come to slay. And naturally, a bloodbath would follow. It is no secret that he, having a wolf-dog personality is tough, aggressive, ruthless and barbaric. When he ascends the throne, he would brutally and mercilessly crack down on his enemies and rivals. However, it is problematic to put the enigmatic Wang So in a pigeonhole. The aristocratic Fourth Prince seems to have a soft spot for Hae Soo, the Time Traveller and he seems to have oodles of confidence in dealing with the maiden for whom he has fallen. But, it would not be wrong to say that based on the Teaser Trailer, the ruthless prince who comes off as a macho and masculine Alpha male might act out of character. It might come as a surprise to viewers that the Fourth Prince is sensitive at his core and might reveal the chinks in his armour. His romantic tale is one of passionate love that transcends time and space. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHNDi_zj_5n/?taken-by=actor_jg Though viewers would love to hate his brutal character, they would most certainly empathise with the emotionally vulnerable emperor when tears well up in his eyes upon the realization that he has been betrayed by the one he loves the most. Lee Joon Gi, being the sterling actor that he is, would strut his stuff and by the end of the tale, all the female viewers would be driven bonkers – they would go gaga over him! THE 8TH PRINCE, WANG WOOK (KANG HA-NEUL) ‘Both love and power are in his heart’ The Eighth Prince wrestles with romance and power. Would he choose love over power? He wants both but it is nigh impossible. It is either Hae Soo or the Goryeo throne, nothing more and nothing less. He knows the quiet and humble aristocratic lifestyle is not for him but he is unaware of his tragic future. Hae Soo, who is from the twenty-first century, has a thorough grasp of history and is acquainted with the fact that Wang Wook's struggle for the throne is doomed. The Eighth Prince makes the wrong choice. The romantic fairy tale ends and the gory nightmare begins. Love costs nothing, but the fight for power is costly. THE TIME TRAVELLER FROM THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY HAE SOO (IU) ‘I want to live, if that means nothing will change.’ Hae Soo is beleaguered and torn between two handsome and powerful princes. Her first love is The Eighth Prince, Wang Wook. But, she is intelligent and smart enough to make the decision to leave him for The Fourth Prince. She knows he does not have the gut-fire for the devastating conflict ahead of him. Moreover, she does not want to be at the receiving end of the Fourth Prince’s wrath. Self-preservation is her priority. Like most women, Hae Soo wants security and protection, and it does not take much for her to figure out that the Eighth Prince cannot deliver. Only the Alpha male - the Fourth Prince and future Goryeo Emperor can satisfy her demands. Her knowledge of Goryeo history has given her a preview of Prince Wang So’s trajectory in Goryeo history. Is that his competitive edge over the Eighth Prince? THE 3RD PRINCE, WANG YO (HONG JONG-HYUN) ‘He dreams of being the king of Goryeo’ The Third Prince, Wang Yo, being the recipient of his mother’s (Queen Sinmyeongsunseong) special love and undivided attention, reaps all the royal privileges and  has nothing to spare for his younger blood brother, Wang So. He is overly ambitious, and is relentlessly driven to become the king of the Goryeo Dynasty by his mother. Probably, he is convinced of his legitimate or divine right to the throne. He did, however, ascend the throne as the third monarch, Jeongjong. THE 9TH PRINCE, WANG WON (YOON SUN-WOO) ‘What he has is arrogance, ambition, sense… and money’ The Ninth Prince, Wang Won, is, besides being  ambitious, is arrogant but realistic and materialistic. Wealth is his priority. With materialism, probably comes corruption. THE 10TH PRINCE, WANG EUN (BYUN BAEKHYUN)  ‘Mischievous - young blood’ Wang Eun, The Tenth Prince is mischievous, playful and is prone to attention-seeking behaviour. He has a lot of growing up to do. He is interested in Hae Soo but he is too emotionally immature for her. It is hard to take him seriously. But, he is quite an amusing and entertaining character. THE 13TH PRINCE – THE OTHER WANG WOOK (NAM JOO-HYUK) The Thirteenth Prince is also named Wang Wook and is described as having ‘depth of character and elegance’. One can tell the depth of someone’s character by the way he thinks. His thinking and philosophy is too far ahead of his times. This Wang Wook understands that the Goryeo world is designed to prey on the weak. Perhaps he thinks it is wrong to take advantage of the weak. THE 14TH PRINCE WANG JUNG (JI SOO) ‘The youngest brother’ Wang Jung, The Fourteenth Prince is the ‘baby’ in the royal family and it is not a bed of roses for him. Being the youngest amongst his siblings (3rd and 4th) and half-siblings (1st, 8th, 9th, 10th and 13th), he is not treated seriously so much so he probably feels inadequate. If one’s guess is correct, he would be in conflict with his older brother, Wang So, and they would struggle for Hae Soo’s hand and the throne at the end. In the assembly line of handsome princes, the 1st Prince Wang Mu is the Crown Prince (not in the pictures). The supposedly sickly prince, played by Kim san-ho, became the second monarch, Hyejong; the first monarch being their father, King Taejo.

EXCRUCIATING WAIT https://www.instagram.com/p/BIBTkBvjeCi/?taken-by=actor_jg https://www.instagram.com/p/BHrn7jPD6hj/?taken-by=actor_jg Many viewers cannot wait to watch the handsome, sexy and talented Lee Joon Gi in his new drama. His fame and his popularity continue to ramp up. The release of the exciting teaser trailer and the beautiful promotional posters has put Lee in the spotlight and made the wait even more excruciatingly painful. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHxnSLcDA1E/?taken-by=actor_jg It is undeniable that the savage royal conflicts of the handsome princes in an era rife with bloodshed would make for a thoroughly engrossing drama. The 20-episode drama, a fully pre-produced drama, took five months to be shot but it would only premiere on 29 August 2016. It would be broadcast on SBS at 22:00 (Korean time) every Monday and Tuesday in simulcast with China.

A ROMANTIC FANTASY 

The Romantic Pose

THE COVER (left: The Royal Pose / right: The Romantic Pose) https://www.instagram.com/p/BH3-h-FDjKQ/?taken-by=actor_jg Lee Joon Gi and IU have landed on the cover of Cosmopolitan Korea magazine for the month of August in 2016.  Lee Joon Gi has shared two shots of the Cosmopolitan photo shoot on his Instagram, one of which is his and IU’s stunning romantic pose. The second one is a shot of Lee Joon Gi, IU and six other actors who have also been cast in the upcoming saquek drama, *‘Moon Lovers: Goryeo’s Scarlet Heart’, They are presented in an interesting royal pose. The more eye-catching shot documents Lee Joon Gi and IU’s perfect and flawless pose.  Both are the leading stars of the historical-romance drama which features Lee in the role of the Fourth Prince-turned-Fourth Emperor, Gwangjong and IU as Hae Soo, the third millennium time-traveller. For Lee Joon Gi and IU, the creative team have lovingly designed an exciting romantic image to the very minute detail that flatters the two superstars. Every detail makes a statement and the crafted pose has created a unique romantic aura that only the most forward-looking, first-rate and inventive minds of the industry can execute. Thanks to the creative Cosmopolitan team, the conceptualized images are memorable and distinctive. Lee Joon Gi, IU and the other six royal ‘princes’ of the Korean drama, an adaptation of China’s ‘Bu Bu Jing Xin’ or ‘Scarlet Heart’, look impressive.

LEE JOON GI THE EMPEROR AND HIS FAVOURITE COLOURS Lee Joon Gi shares his favourite colours: black, white and red https://www.instagram.com/p/BGbO7USgoVf/?taken-by=actor_jg Colours matter. In Lee Joon Gi and IU’s picture, three colours, black, red and white reign supreme. And, these are all Lee Joon Gi’s favourite colours (photos above). BLACK. Black speaks of elegance, sophistication, power, control, seduction and mystery. The background of the magazine cover has different shades of grey. Grey is made by mixing white and black. WHITE. It is the traditional Korean colour of purity, innocence, faith – the colour of perfection. White, as well as black, have been selected as the text colours. RED. A colour of passion, desire, love, energy and strength. Pink, a tint of red, is white added to red. There are reds everywhere in the texture of IU’s seemingly rose-pink dress, and more importantly, the magazine name is emblazoned in a tint of red. The colour concept of black, red and white is stupendous. The combination of pink, grey, white and black is dreamy and is a perfect colour scheme that screams romance, style and sophistication. Style and fashion begins with Lee Joon Gi. Colour Lee Joon Gi masculine - in black and grey. Lee wears a plain black open shirt with pushed-up shirt sleeves. His shirt is matched with his slim-fit, flat-front, dark grey trousers. Although his pushed-up sleeves give him a casual sexy look, they do not stop him from looking polished, sophisticated and classy. His hair, which is combed backwards, gives him a powerful masculine appeal. He shoots us his signature seductive intense-eye look. And, he spices up his sexy look with a masculine timepiece. Lee Joon Gi exudes the power of presence with his animalistic sexiness. The image fits him like a glove.  Although his facial features are attractive and near perfect, one is drawn instinctively to his gorgeous and stunning Phoenix or Arctic Wolf eyes. Some call them the national treasure of Korea! Overall, the masculine ensemble, the strong and sexy look projected and the colours used certainly do him justice. Lee Joon Gi has inarguably driven the ladies wild with his glowing and flaming-hot look judging from responses in many social network sites, on his instagram and elsewhere. It would not be surprising if they were to suddenly warble an ode to Lee Joon Gi’s masculinity and sexiness!

THE EMPEROR’S WOMAN While Lee Joon Gi looks effortlessly masculine, IU, in contrast, looks utterly feminine and formal. IU, also known as Lee Ji-eun, shows a lot of skin in her backless sequin dress, filled with an exquisitely alluring range of eclectic pink, red and gold colours, and held together by spaghetti straps. The gorgeous, eye-catching and sexy ruffled-back and ruffled-front dress has a curve-hugging bodice. A slanted layer of ruffles seems to cling on both hips. The dreamy, sizzling look is complete with dangle earrings. The overall shimmering rose-pink colour of IU’s attire exudes a warm and romantic image.

AUGUST: THE TIME FOR ROMANCE IN THE MOOD FOR ROMANCE  THE POTENT CHEMISTRY BETWEEN  THE FOURTH PRINCE  AND  THE THIRD MILLENNIUM TIME TRAVELLER When viewers look at Lee Joon Gi and IU, they probably fall helplessly in love with the idea of love. The camera has captured their spirit of romance at its sweetest. In the photo shoot, the pair presents a powerful earth-shattering image of a romantic couple which is truly a favourite dream come true for all their fans. Lee Joon Gi and IU are a rare breed of talented and fashionable celebrities: he, the much-celebrated handsome, ever-green, multi-talented chameleon Korean actor-entertainer, and she, the popular, stylish and talented young Korean singer-actress. The Romantic Pose: Lee Joon Gi and IU’s body language and couple-look is crafted to perfection and tastefully presented. The look gives perfect meaning to romance - the romantic masculine man who is madly in love with the lovely feminine woman. In that shot, Lee Joon Gi (the Fourth Prince) towers over the petite IU and stakes a territorial claim on what he believes is his (the third millennium girl, Hae Soo) by placing his hand on her back to impress on other men that she is already taken. It is such a perfect, romantic gesture. The confident and authoritative hand gesture spells, ‘Hands off, she’s mine!’ IU, on her part, has placed her right hand lightly on his broad shoulder to show their level of intimacy and to confirm her claim on him. The feelings are mutual. She seems to melt into him. They complement each other and look so prefect together. IU oozes femininity while Lee Joon Gi oozes masculinity. Their subtle chemistry is manifested in the image which pays homage to romance. They are picture perfect and make a lovely couple. The posed shot, indeed, captures the romantic imagery succinctly.  Shades of Grey: The two stars really look fiery-hot together against a background of different shades of grey. But there is nothing scandalous about the imagery. Naughty, yes but in this case, one should not read too much into the colours used. https://www.facebook.com/leejunkithaifamily/photos/ pb.156600581057679.-2207520000.1468764822./1188090757908651/?type=3&theater However, some may not have noticed the tiny, almost invisible chain tied to IU’s dress to which Lee Joon Gi has wrapped round his finger. The imagery evokes the idea, ‘I’ve wrapped you around my little finger!’ Ah, the naughty Fourth Prince! But wait, it is a chain of fate which can be likened to the Chinese ‘Red String of Fate and Destiny’. That is food for thought. The Chinese idea of ‘Yuánfèn’  is translated as  ‘fateful coincidence’ (Fate and Destiny). ‘There is an invisible red thread that connects those who are to meet regardless of the time, place or circumstance.’ The Chinese (Japanese and probably some Koreans) believe that people are tied by that ‘Red String of Fate and Destiny’. In terms of romance, it stresses more specifically on two people sharing a strong bond which draws them together. Fate or chance brings those two people together. If the image projected is to drum up excitement for their upcoming drama, viewers believe Lee Joon Gi and IU are game for it. Much to the delight of fans and viewers, the image has afforded them a glimpse of the unforgettable romantic moment of the perfectly charming drama couple. Speaking of which, the fabulously stunning couple image is executed to perfection, so much so, that it puts the female viewers in the mood for romance.  A timely reminder: It is the time of the year to fall in love. Well, isn’t August a month for romance? According to the Chinese calendar, ‘Double Seven’ (seventh day of the seventh month) or Qi Xi (Seventh Night) is Chinese Valentine’s Day. This year, it falls on 9th August which is the premiere date for Lee Joon Gi’s Chinese romance movie, ‘Never Said Goodbye’. Heartbreaking romantic love movies remind everyone to be grateful for their current sweet experiences or past sweet memories. And, the Korean saguek drama also starts in August.

THE PRINCES AND HAE SOO The second shot is that of Lee Joon Gi, IU and six other actors who are the cast in the upcoming drama, *‘Moon Lovers: Goryeo’s Scarlet Heart’. All the seven handsome princes look really prim and proper. There is not even a sliver of midriff flesh peeping out from under the actors’ shirts or jackets. No naughtiness – no baring of flesh. They, with the beautiful IU, look intriguingly mysterious and serious. There is no hint of any smile on their faces - the typical expression of royalty. Although all look very attractive, only Lee Joon Gi smolders with passion. Lee Joon Gi and IU, in matching white attire, are placed at the centre, and they are flanked on the right by Byun Baekhyun, the Tenth Prince and Nam Joo-hyuk, the Thirteenth Prince (back). On the left are Hong Jong-hyun, the Third Prince and Yoon Sun-woo, the Ninth Prince (back). In the foreground are Ji Soo, the Fourteenth Prince (left) and Kang Ha-neul, the Eighth Prince. The posing arrangement is artistically well-balanced and interesting.

The One and Only Wang So His pair of seductive eyes instantly ups the hotness factor. The Emperor and His Brothers Lee Joon Gi struts his good looks, charm and talents. He drives the females bonkers.
