Scarlet Heart Ryeo Review
~~~SPOILER ZONE~~~
I finished the series on June 17,2017; Saturday in a span of a week or so and I haven't taken my mind off of it, not a single second. I only have one bad thing to say about it: the ending. Seriously, I love Scarlet Heart so dearly but the fact that it only had 20 episodes sucks because (1) we couldn't have more of Hae Soo and Wang So moments (2) the answers to our questions were not answered and (3) i heard a rumor that they cut off the scene where Soo and So meets in the future and instead replaced it with the ending we know now, a flashback of So and Soo.
Although I haven't heard any news if there is going to be a season two, if they're not going to make a season two, they shouldn't have opened the door and another plot hole by the line So said in the ending "If we're not from the same world, then I will find you, My...Soo" because we're now left with an obsession we can't get rid off. The obsession of yearning for at least one twenty hour episode (lol) of Hae Soo and Wang So meeting again with one another and remembering everything they went through together and falling in love all over again.
I have watched the ending so many times that I have memorized Hae Soo's letter to Wang So: "Life is like a dream. Right and wrong, love and hate. They all get buried with the passing of time and leave without a trace. Do you still think that you dont have my whole heart and resent me? Im always worried that I may have left you with hatred instead of love, not allowing you to rest in peace. I still love you, When you gave up everything and stood by my side in the rain, when you threw your body in front of a flying arrow to protect me, you became someone I could never forget in my life. I came to realize that the opposite of loving, is not hating, but leaving. I'm afraid you may think that I left you and that you left me. I yearn for you so much, but I cant be near you. I hope and wait to see you again inside these fences. I'll be waiting for you...everyday." Believe me or not, I did not need to copy that from somewhere, I legit wrote that just now. I am still so obsessed with this show, even when it was over, I am literally praying to stop obsessing over it and give us a sequel. I just need a season 2 please, DIRECTORS AND SBS I AM BEGGING YOU!!
Plus, there are a lot of questions that aren't answered like:Who the heck painted all those paintings of moments that only Soo knew about? Did Soo drew them? Did Wook? What happened to Soo and So's daughter and what is her name? Did So end up finding Soo? Why wasn't Has Soo recorded in history? She did a lot during her stay in the past, she developed bath and makeup products, and she was very close to almost all of the princes, surely they would have written her in history to keep her legacy alive. How the heck did Astronomer Choi came from rags to riches? He was a homeless man in the first episode then became an okay man in the ending.
The emotional rollercoaster ride that is Scarlet Heart is filled with the most amazing actors that made me feel what they wanted me to feel, they deserve another season of it all.
~~~SPOILER FREE ZONE~~~
For those that haven't watched Scarlet Heart, I hugely suggest that you watch it now. My friend told me he didn't want to watch it because he wanted modern kdrama, that's what I thought to myself too before I watched Scarlet Heart, I didn't want to watch it because it was in the old days and thought to myself that it would be lame. But watching this tremendous show made me yearn for so much knowledge of the Goryeo history and to learn to speak and write Korean. This show has really been something that I could never forget in my life.
Comment down below some quesions you want to be answered in a possible future season two.
