Because Koala is the most persuasive marsupial in existence and because [livejournal.com profile] cleobulle, who shared all my reservations, seems to have adored ep 1, I am caving in and checking out the first ep of The Moon That Embraces The Sun a.k.a. 'your love is doomed doomed doomed' sageuk.



My biggest problem has always been the age difference between Kim Su Hyun and Han Ga In, who play the star-crossed pair. But Koala had a great, story-based explanation, which satisfied me. And then, the thing looks so pretty and angst and, plot-wise, so up my alley, I can't resist. (Still - 6 childhood eps? I know the plot of that portion and are 6 eps really necessary?)

Also, random, but are the childhood version of the OTP played by the kids who played the OTP in Iljimae?

Yup, the kids in MoonSun are the same two in Iljimae. Yeo Jin Gu played young Iljimae and now is young Hwon, while Kim Yoo Jung was young Eun Chae and is now now Yeon Woo/Wol.

Episode 1 was SO DAMN GOOD. XD *goes crazy from the good*

I heard Moon was from the writer that did Sungkyunkwan scandal is that correct? I want to watch it for the adult actors namely kim su hyun (who i adored in dream high which i am about to finish watching tomorrow) and Jung il Woo. but i dont know if i'll enjoy at all if its just some typical doom and gloom sageuk. i liked SKKS because it was light and fun and had a happy ending. maybe i'll wait this one out...
