Won isn't "bored without Rin" he is just lonely because Rin is the only friend he has and he was also kind of worried for him because Rin was absent for days and he definitely smelled that something must be bothering him.

 

That's pretty much the same thing isn't it? unsure.png 

 

He is surrounded by a lot of people so loneliness is out of the picture. He is tired of following his mother and staying too long at the palace. That's why I think he looked bored. He needs to be with his friends.

 

I have to admit. I kinda miss the bromance.

Except he doesn't have that many friends only Rin and his two bodyguards)) and you can be surrounded by a lot of people and still feel lonely there is no one who cares for him that's why he doesn't want San to ever go away. And I miss the bromance too but I'm afraid it will only get worse things are getting intense and San needs to make a choice.

Rin might get the girl who knows but the throne? Never. Won is the 26th king of goryeo. And yoona couldn't be a queen with either of them anyways she is of lower class compared to Dan for example if she doesn't pull an empress ki of course, but I don't think she is strong or ambitious enough to achieve that, she seems too soft.

why can't san be the queen? won is going to become king after all and its pretty obvious that he can do whatever he wants thanks to his grandfather but it seems that won hasnt realised that yet

because when he does and becomes king then that means he can have san as his queen!

 

omg i thought i was undecided but it seems like im team sanxwon lmao0u0plz.png

Your description regarding the king is literally how i feel every single damn time he appears with the woman by his side. ugh the queen too, she just seems to be so lonely with how won shuns her out for being overprotective and i feel sad for her.

 

YAS to #LinSan too

Let me spazz along with you!! :D

 

I have watched a lot of drama/film with love triangle theme in it but I have never loved all three characters at the same time. I always have my bias couple but this drama, omg I love them all equally! I also love Dan. She is just so pure and innocent.

 

I hate to see anyone gets hurt even though I should anticipate it. Their friendship is just too precious.

 

By the way, allow me to fangirl a little bit about our two heroes. Won is just too cute...his height matches his face and I truly meant that as a compliment. Even though he is not that tall, his presence is still powerful. As a crown prince, he tried his best to exude that aura and to me, he was okay.

 

Whenever Rin came out on screen, my heart beats faster. He is very handsome in this drama. I think Saeguk (not sure about the spelling, too lazy to google) suits him. I can't help but falling for him.

 

I can't wait for tonight! I hope my heart can contain the feels.

Omg before voting, i thought teamWonSan would outnumber teamRinSan but it's the other way round lol.

#TeamRinSan til the end!!!!!

 

My question about ep18's ending

 

 

why San doesn't want Won to choose her? Is it because of saving Dan and not letting the queen send Rin away?

WARNING! While this post is spoiler free, I wrote it thinking everyone here has at least read the brief synopsis that was released with the initial press release. If you haven’t, please go to dramabeans and read it first.
 

So after having read the books and stewing over them for a while, here are my thoughts. The book isn’t your traditional romance story, there’s much more to it than just that. While San and Rin are both fictional characters, many of the supporting cast and events that push the story forward are based on historical facts. Won, in particular, is very accurately portrayed so you can expect there will be a fair share of political talk in it as well. I expect the drama to pull back on some of the political aspects of the novel and pursue the romance and friendship aspect between our three main protagonist more, but I still expect it to have a bit more politics than say... "Moon Embracing the Sun" and it's honestly pretty interesting. With Goryeo (Korea) being ruled over by Mongolia (Yuan) at the time, this is a pretty touchy period of history for many Koreans so adhering to historical facts will be imperative to how well this drama is received. I remember "Empress Ki" receiving a huge backlash in Korea for how much it distorted history. Luckily for us, one of the books major selling points is it's historical accuracy so I don't expect that to become an issue here.

 

Our three main protagonist Won, San, and Rin are all very well fleshed out characters. But I think Siwan and Yoona fans in particular will be very happy with the range of emotions their characters will be able to play. It’s honestly a little crazy. On the other hand, Rin’s character is much more of a stoic character so I think even bringing on a more novice actor would be an okay choice there too. I should also mention that Rin is NOT a “third wheel†in this story. He is just as important to the story as Won and San are.

 

All in all, it was a very impressive book to read. From a fanboy standpoint, there were moments I was getting giddy just imagining Yoona acting some of the scenes out. From a literary standpoint, the sheer scope of the writing impressed me. The characters travel all over the Yuan Empire and while I'm not sure how much of it will be translated into the drama, one of the pro's of being a pre-produced drama is that we actually have the time to go overseas and film some of these scenes (I know for a fact that “Empress Kiâ€, another MBC drama, filmed a few scenes in China as well so I know that it’s possible).

 

A few users have been asking me to explain the relationship between Won, Rin and San a bit more so I decided to also post what I shared with them here in spoiler tags. And while I do foreshadow a few events, as a whole, I think it’s pretty spoiler free.

 

1. Won and Rin

So Won definitely wears the pants in this relationship. He's constantly nagging on Rin for being so stiff around him and pressures him to speak informally when it's just the two of them, often to no avail. Rin is described almost as an extension of Won himself, always standing by his side and willing to do anything the prince asks of him. Rin and Won share the same dream of making Goryeo a better place to live, for the people, and both help each other towards that goal.

 

2. Won and San

Won instantly falls for San, not romantically I mind you, but because a) her looks and b) her selfless nature. San, unlike Rin, is more than willing to talk down to Won, and Won loves her even more for that. At one point in the novel, he mentions that San was the only person he's ever met that didn't treat him as royalty.

 

3. Rin and San

Initially, Rin is very wary of San because she refuses to tell him her true identity. They constantly butt heads with each other and if it weren’t for Won they’d never get along. Nevertheless, Rin is very protective of San and is often the one to save her when she bites off more than she can chew.
