Scarlet Heart Ryeo: Episode 17 Part 1 (Spoilers)

Ok Hae Soo is back and running things again and doesn’t respond when Chae Rung tells her Jung has a plan to get out her out of the castle. Good. Sorry Jung my son but you can’t marry Soo, she is So’s future intended

Woo Hee is reporting that So is not doing efficient work…why girl? Is this part of the plan? Is she SPYING for Yo?!? NO. Pls say Baek Ah and them know about this and she is a double spy. I am confused and unhappy…ok apparently she has been trying to do this for her people, but it hasn’t been doing much good…

HECK NO YO IS TRYING TO BLACKMAIL HER BY SAYING HE WILL TELL BAEK AH THAT SHE IS HIS “DOG” YO I HATE YOU AND I HATE THAT I LOVE YOUR CHARACTER BUT ALSO I HATE YOU

umm either Yo is going crazy or someone is haunting him, or making him feel haunted and IT LOOKS LIKE EUN AND TOSSES THE BROKEN ARROWS THAT HURT EUN AND TELL HIM TO REMEMBER PAST BONDS!!!

WHOA AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HIS DAD HAS SHOWN UP TO JOIN THE HAUNTING AND

YO FALLS OVER?

OOOOOHHHHHHHH YEAH WANG SO AND THE BOYS (BAEK AH INCLUDED) ARE HERE DECKED OUT IN BLACK AND SILK MASKS I LOVE

ALSO SO HESITATES TO LEAVE (DOES HE FEEL A SMALL BIT OF COMPASSION FOR YO EVEN NOW?? MY SON

Wook runs in looking all genuinely worried for Yo for about 2 seconds before he is like AHA my time has come. The self-centered little toad

AAAAAHHHHH HAE SOO TOLD SO THAT’S SHE DOESN’T LIKE HIM WANTING TO BE KING BUT SHE NEEDS TO BE WITH HIM SO OK WHATEVER HE WANTS AAAHHH! SHE JUST REMINDS HIM AGAIN NOT TO KILL HIS BROTHERS *cue me tearing up just because everything*

UMMMMM I think things are about to go down but Hae Soo is in with the king not good

Aw drat Yo is blaming Soo for everything, saying that because she helped So cover his scar So took what was his and set Yo on the course of killing his bros…dude take some dang responsibility for your own actions…or maybe blame your mom she sure hasn’t been innocent in this

THE REBELLION HAS BEGUN! BUT SOO IS IN THE ROOM IN THE WRONG PLACE

OOOOOHHHHHHHH evil queen tells Yo to abdicate to Jung so they can “save the throne”

Aw nooooooooooo no no now finally Yo sees the depths of his mother’s love for him–or rather the lack thereof. NO NOW I WANT TO CRY BECAUSE YO IS CRYING “WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME? AM I EVEN YOUR SON? OR JUST SOMETHING THAT EXISTS TO SIT ON THE THRONE” NOOOO WHYYY FEELS WHYY

Oh GOSH THE QUEEN BLINKS AND LOOKS TAKEN ABACK BUT SHE DOESN’T SAY ANYTHING SOOTHING JUST DON’T BE THIS WAY WE NEED THE THRONE

AND

YO SAYS HE UNDERSTANDS SO NOW

AND ORDERS THAT YOO BE REMOVED

Soo you should probably run. Just saying

OMG OMG OMG WHAAAAAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?! QUEEN HWANGBO ASKED HWA TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOVE AND HWA SAID THE WORLD AND SO–THE QUEEN SAID SHE WOULD THROW WOOK AWAY WHAAAAAT WHAT THE HECK HAS HAPPENED HOW HAS EVERY SINGLE FAMILY FALLEN APART WHY

I MEAN I WOULD THROW WOOK AWAY TOO BUT FOR VERY DIFFERENT REASONS. THIS IS WHY SELFISHNESS AND GREED ARE SO AWFUL. IT ALWAYS ALWAYS COSTS LOVE AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY

*sighs*

OK now the general and Wang So and Baek Ah are out front ready to take on the palace and of course we all know that So looks wicked awesome in that armor and his side swept bangs but can we…can we just set aside a moment and note that Baek Ah also looks ridiculously attractive in that armor! Backing up his older bro :) MY SOFT SWEET LOYAL SON MY ARTIST AND MUSICIAN IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU IN THIS FIGHT I SWEAR

Um what is Lady Hwa doing??

Yo is having like both a literal and figurative heart attack right now and I actually feel sorry for him. He was afraid if being thrown away like So :(

Side note I find it very interesting that the three people he rather deliriously asks Hae Soo to choose from as the next king are Wook, whom he has thought for a while now is a traitorous wretch, So, whom he has despised for So long but now actually feels some kinship with (and who is incidentally leading a rebellion against him now), and Baek Ah. Yes. Not Jung, the perfect younger brother whom Yoo wanted to crown, not Won, the brother who has seemed most loyal to him through it all, but Baek Ah. I wonder why he says Baek Ah. Because it is ridiculous to him? Because Baek Ah has quietly been supporting So since forever?

YO WRITES AND GIVES SOO THE PAPER AND SAYS HE WAS ONLY TRYING TO SURVIVE :( AND THEN HE DIES :( MY EVIL EYELINER SON HAS PASSED ON FOR REAL :(

Why does Soo have to see so much death :(

And So walks in looks a bit fierce but then he sees Soo and Yo and he just kind of stops

WAIT WHAT. So reads Yo’s final proclamation, asks Soo if she read it, receives a negative, and then proceeds to tear it to shreds? Why?? Did it say one of his brothers that So doesn’t want to be king? Or…maybe it said So, but So is giving that up for Soo? WHAT IS HAPPENING

Okay evil queen could look slightly more upset that her eldest son has died…

OMG AAAAAHHHHHH HAE SOO SUDDENLY KNEELS BEFORE SO AND DECLARES HONOR AND EVERYTHING TO WANG SO SHE IS THE FIRST TO PROCLAIM HIM KING I CAN’T OMG!!!!!!! AND HE LOOKS TAKEN ABACK

BUT THEN HE SAYS YEAH I AM KING AND EVIL QUEEN IS LIKE WUT AND SEEMS VERY TICKED OFF I LOVE IT

MEANWHILE EVERYONE IS BOWING TO WANG SO AND I LIVE

LOOK AT MY SON ALL GROWN UP AND GETTING KINGED. BAEK AH LOOKS SO PROUD OF HIM. SO PROUD

Ugh Lady Hwa has once again managed to worm her way into people’s good graces :/

Wook is sitting in his office/study sulking like the loser he is. Why isn’t he arrested yet. Can we throw him jail pls thanks

Um Soo looks gorgeous and So looks gorgeous and now he is king CAN THEY PLEASE GET MARRIED ALREADY CMON GUYS

awwww Soo is so happy for So and thinks he will no longer be remember as a bloody monarch and thinks that she will help him OTP

Wook and Hwa are each a mess. Gosh. Somewhere deep deep in side of me I feel the faintest twinge of regret for what a good person Wook could been but that’s it. I am so done with him and his angsting and his hurt little self. You did that pretty much on your own dude. Hwa…you pretty on the outside but I would not wanna see your heart, because that’s pretty twisted at this point…

Ok like I get why the general wants to go home, how his heart hurts because of his daughter but…can he NOT keep casting shade towards So? He had NOTHING to do with that. And he only killed Eun because Eun asked him to send him on to his wife? And btw GUESS WHO TRAINED SO IN THE WAY OF THE SWORD?! YOU BRO. CAN YOU PLZ GIVE MY SON A HAND OR FAILING THAT AT LEAST A BREAK?

AAAHHH SO KEEPS ASKING HIM TO STAY HE WANTS HELP AND WISDOM AND HE CAN’T EVEN GET THAT?! MY HEART MY POOR SON

GENERAL YOU TELL HIM TO BE A GOOD AND WISE KING BUT HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE A WISE KING WITHOUT GOOD MEN TO ADVISE HIM? GOSH

SO IS SAD :( HE SAYS THE GENERAL IS AFRAID OF HIM NOOOOOOO COMFORT HIM SOO

AWWW SO ASKS SOO IF SHE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT YO’S PAPER SAID, TO KNOW IF SO STILE THE THRONE AND SOO SAYS NO SHE IS THE LEAST CURIOUS OF ALL SHE IS PLACING SO MUCH TRUST IN HIM AND WHO HE WILL BE AS A PERSON AND A KING AND HE IS JUST SITTING THERE LOOKING SO ALONE AND UNSURE I CAN’T

AWWW THE PAPER WAS BLANK AND HE DIDN’T WANT MORE CONFUSION SO HE RIPPED IT UP AWW MY SWEET SON
