Written Preview for Episode 9 and 10 of MoonSun

[Edit: MBC is on crack, because it just released the written preview for episode 10 as well. Woo hoo! Bringing it to you below]

If Hwon and Woon continue to remain so close, even I’m going to start wondering if the bodyguard and his King is undertaking some A Frozen Flower-esque forbidden love. I’m kidding, of course. Nothing wrong with that, but that ain’t the story of The Moon that Embraces the Sun, that’s for sure. I’m sure I freaked some folks out with my earlier announcement, which is sadly reality intruding on drama fantasy, leading to some mistaken worries that I won’t be writing anymore. Nonsense! I love my dramas and I’ll continue to write about them because I still want to. Just less frequently is all. I’m pretty jazzed about starting a new job tomorrow, but also super wired up because I finished reading the MoonSun novel today. Took weeks because sageuk language is a kicker. The drama is deviating significantly from it is all I can say. So far I like them both equally as much. Not terribly deep or thought provoking, but rather sweet and pretty to read/watch.

Written preview for episode 9:

Hwon awakens from his slumber and demands to know who sent Wol here. The minister who brought Wol into the Palace is fearful of incurring the King’s rage, so he uses the excuse that Wol committed the grave crime of offending the King’s royal presence, and orders her to be facially tattooed and then exiled to the border. [Think of the tattooing punishment as a Scarlet Letter of sorts, to forever visually indicate the person has committed a certain crime].

Hwon continues to uncontrollably think about Wol. Bo Kyung, who has been forbidden (by her father) to visit the King’s residence before the day of the consummation of the marriage, hears about the shaman who has been brought to the King’s side to absorb his ills. Her instinct gives her a bad feeling about it….

Written preview for episode 10:

Hwon has his retainers summon the royal physician to treat Wol. Woon, who can see Hwon’s feelings for Wol, has the soldiers search Wol and hands to Hwon the missive retrieved from her. Hwon sees the writing that feels familiar to him and is stunned.

On the other hand, Bo Kyung finds it hard to suppress the anger she feels, having sensed the odd energy between Hwon and the shaman. Dowager Queen Yoon hears that Hwon is recovered and orders the date of the marriage consummation to be moved earlier.
