Marty I’m Scared

I saw pearls in her mouth and the velvet cushion of her tongue.

 people all of a sudden up in arms about this kiss and calling so abusive like

yes the kiss was problematic good job sherlock it was supposed to be

“hae soo did nothing wrong” yes and no

hae soo took someone who has been abused and isolated, both physically and emotionally, his entire life, befriended him, swore to him that she would never betray his trust, and then did just that. she physically and emotionally pushed him away, repeating to him the things that triggered him. “i’m afraid of you.” “you’re going to ruin everything.” the exact opposite of what she’s said in the past, she’s done a complete 180 overnight, going from his closest ally to someone who doesn’t even want to be near him with zero explanation. this isn’t to say hae soo is a bad person, or that her fear was unjustified, but her handling of the situation was careless to an extent. the only person so had ever trusted or opened up to. for abuse victims, trust is a huge freaking deal and this boy had come so far in his healing process.

does that excuse the kiss? does that mean soo was wrong for being shaken by her visions? does that justify claiming ownership of someone and forcing yourself on them? of course not what the fuck. there’s nothing to excuse such behavior. but it is a violent way of trying to hold onto something you’re losing. we’re not supposed to see it as this great romantic gesture. it’s sad, it’s pathetic, and it’s extremely in character for wang so. he’s lashing out, something not uncommon for childhood abuse survivors. and it’s gonna be something he needs to overcome. he’s not there yet, which is understandable, especially since he’s still in a pretty damn abusive environment. i’d be a little annoyed if they did away with all of that simply because he fell in love with someone, because that implies that an abuse survivor needs only a significant other to be “fixed” and that’s not true. it takes time, years upon years of time. but look at where he was in ep 1 - he’s grown so much since then. but he still has a long way to go, and this is one way of showing that.

please stop acting as if this scene is “person a is evil and person b is an angel sent from heaven above”. please don’t write the scene off like that and ignore the episodes of character development and growth between these two. please don’t pretend that good and bad aren’t happening on both sides and that both characters are handling extreme trauma in questionable ways. please stop forgetting about how much abuse and trauma are shaping their decisions and are ingrained in their personalities. these are not two dimensional characters and this is not a two dimensional scene. please stop trying to oversimplify it to avoid being problematic. it’s a problematic scene - let it be.

His - The Wolf and The Lamb

“May my life’s breath find refuge in your heart, destroyed in your love, may my life depart.”  

Wang So’s and Hae Soo’s ill-fated love story in Goryeo comes full circle as So spurs his horse on, rushing to Hae Soo’s side one last time. While she’s spend the last months of her life waiting for him, just like she had spend the previous years. Even after she left him, her life has been centered around him. Soo might have escaped the Palace, but she could never escape her lover, could never be free of him because they are eternally bound. Her memories of him, her visions of him by her side have kept her alive each day; the thought that she’s carrying his child and the hope that he would one day return to her gave her the strength to survive each new day. The first time she had arrived to Goryeo she wanted to survive only for herself, now she is living for him and their unborn child. In the end, WS truly has been Soo’s lifeline. But he comes too late because without him she couldn’t last even a one whole year, far less ten; because she spent all her lifeforce on giving birth to their daughter - TO PROTECT THIS LITTLE PIECE OF HIM. And so she draws her last breath wearing So’s lotus hairpin, the token of his love that marks her as HIS - HIS lover, HIS friend, HIS queen, HIS partner, HIS equal, HIS wife, the mother of HIS child,… -  and listening to the song that made him realize he loved her what seems like an eternity ago.

“Soo may be dead, but she’s my person.”

Even after her death Wang So can’t let go of his Soo, his sun that has burned out. He keeps clinging to her ashes, just like he keeps clinging to the memory of her. Theirs was a love doomed from the start, and not only because Soo’s been always living on borrowed time (he kept her alive and protected her all this while) and just like the sun and the moon during the eclipse they could spend only a limited time together. He was the wolf who fell in love with a lamb - a predator who fell in love with a healer. She had woken up in the body of a girl who had a heart condition, later her body went through cruel torture and hard labour which shortened her life span even more. She never belonged to this world to begin with; its air was like a poison which slowly killed her. Wang So, on the other hand, WAS BORN TO RULE THIS WORLD - almost since birth HE’S BEEN TRAINED TO ENDURE, SURVIVE AND DEFEAT HIS ENEMIES. His body and mind is too much resilient to give up.  A POISON IS LITERALLY COURSING IN HIS VEINS, he himself is the deadliest weapon - HE IS SCARRED INSIDE AND OUT BUT THOSE SCARS ARE ONLY A TESTIMONY OF HOW MUCH HE’S SURVIVED, A PROOF THAT WHAT DIDN’T MANAGE TO KILL HIM ONLY MADE HIM STRONGER - AN INVINCIBLE KING THAT CAN’T BE CONTROLLED BY ANYONE. Because how can you defeat or control a man whose heart and soul died together with the woman he loved?
