This is an old post that I have saved up. But now looking at it, I think the whole world should know my opinions on how disappointed I am by the show.
But I need somewhere to rant, so here it is.
To put things in perspective: I LOVELOVLOVE the Chinese version, it was so good. Link to my previous post
Ranting on: what makes this drama a really disappointing one is that ot had so much potential to be a good one. The were so many things that could have went right. The acting was AWESOME (maybe just lee jun ki), so was the visuals, the back drop and the scenery were all pretty on point. The story line was reasonable. So what went wrong....
Maybe they tried to cover too much in too short a period of time. This is a drama that was based on such an awesome book.

This drama is based on the female's knowledge. Information is the power of today's world. And it is for Ruoxi, as all her choices that she make is based on the information she has. She left 8th prince because she knows that 8th prince will lose the fight for the throne. She warned the 8th prince out of love his potential enemies because she has the information. But do not deem that he will lose. She still loved the 8th prince but she feared her possible punishments. And during this breakup she a rebound relationship with 4th prince. In fact the reason that 4th prince is attracted to her is because she has the knowledge and wisdom that the woman of that time lack. Thus at the end, i can actually understand that she still wanted to help the 8th prince due to previous affections.
But in moon lovers: i have no idea why haesoo left 8th prince. Other than due to a broken heart... she is disappointed that he changed and did not support her. But that does not explain her change in heart. They totally left out the point that she is a modern woman with the knowledge of things that were going to happen!! WHY?? In the C-drama, I have never forgotten that RuoXi is a woman from present times as her thought process for her decisions, her actions and even her values are of modern mentality. But HaeSoo... I think there were many times I believed she was just a woman from the past, she didn't try to fight for her rights, change her fate or ANYTHING. her knowledge of the history comes from being able to.... see the future??? seriously... the show can be better than this. The director should have read the original book or something.
I need to do a post on all of the remakes that disappoint me. This includes: HanaKimi (korean), The time we were not in love (korean), and now this.... and maybe boys over flowers (korean, i love Jun!! And the show did not overact as much as the korean which was cringe worthy, but i am biased haha)
