Boy meets Girl

Wow, just finished episode 2, the storyline is so gripping and before you know, the hour has come and gone. I didn’t really expect much cause I know HRH won’t appear yet plus I don’t understand a single line of dialogue anyway. But I find myself gluing to the screen waiting to find out how Damdeok was born, what’s his childhood like, under what circumstances was his first encounter with Kiha. You see, this all leads up to his adult life, right?

I still don’t understand how Damdeok was born? There was a pregnant woman stumbling into a hut, then a twirling column of white light brightened up the dark sky. His next appearance was Damdeok’s aboji stuck a glowing stone thingy into his chest in front of his assassins, right? What happened after? Did he get separated from his aboji? So he’s not raised in the palace, he was a horse stable boy? I am confused about his background, but there seems to be such clear introduction on Kiha and Sujini.


I know I know, TWSSG is a serious epic drama with historical significance. But, but I really am not much into how the world begins or which tribe has conquered what land, nor do I worry about how many green dragons, white tigers and red birds flying all over the sky. To me, the most critical story in this drama is how does HRH’s love life (or lives) develop? So miah-nae Director Kim Jong Hok, this is the perspective from a ‘hopeless romantic’ fan :


handsome boy spots pretty girl in a sea of crowd ~@@~

boy gives girl a jewel the size of a ping-pong ball, girl is wondering its appraisal value ??

boy shows off his magic tricks, girl is 100% impressed (*()*)

boy makes his first move, hoping she won't slap him in the face!
boy seals it with a kiss, girl has totally fallen for handsome boy ~@@~

girl has boy’s baby (wait a minute, I thought our Yong Joon is an old-fashioned kind of guy?)

Meanwhile ......


girl’s dad roaring, girl’s mom squealing <*0*>
girl’s admirers howling <@o@>
and boy’s fans sobbing! <^_^>

to be continued .....

Another great post!
Loved what you have done with the pictures and sequence.
Immaculate conception of the magical kind?

While I enjoy historicals, it's hard to follow without English subs or some kind of summary since I have no clue what is being said.
There's always the past - sometimes the drama will start out as such or in this case, being told in a story or "legend"...then we are up to the present. Somewhere in the drama, there will be more flashbacks to help us "fill in the blanks" with the story.
As the drama progresses, I'm sure we'll be able to make "heads or tails" out of what is going on.
Hang in there!

Watching Yong Joon doing what he does best is a turn-on!!

As with Jumong (Song Il Guk) and Dae Jo Young (Choi Soo Jong), both actors portrayed their characters as young teens and then adults. How they managed to look so young is wonderful. And the same goes for our Yong Joon. He looks great!!

Hi Chinggu!

Got to hand the revision of the script to you, hahahhahahaha! You just have this uncanny & original super talent & finesse in making everything so humorous! If I don't visit this blog for a day, it makes me feel like I miss one important task.Like vegasbyj, I simply love what you wrote on top of every gods' pix. Ever thought of being a stand-up comedienne?

Thank you again for posting this. Please do not ever get tired of writing.

Love lots,
Judy

hahahahaha jaimey onni! thanks a good read before going to the school (first subject History!! :( what a nice thursday :( )
and ahhh, im not one hunded% sure about this but i think the boy who was stabbed is not the young damdeok... that boy was the reincarnation of the blue dragon and when he grows up he is the man who is always wearing a mask bec his whole body (and face) have scars.
and damdeoks mother run/escaped(?) bec he was sure someone will is trying to kill her baby bec he was born under the star(?)....
maybe!!!
and i really cant understand how did they found damdeok?!?!?!?
i actually understood 95% of episode 1 bec of the news since last 2 years :p
thanks to gaulsan she made a translation its already in QUILT!!!! read it and im more adoring this drama...
old fashioned kind of guy? hehe i dont think so. i think he is sure good in chicks.......:P
*mymy running before someone throws a rock at her
AND BEC SHE IS LATE FOR SCHOOL!!!
BYE EVERYBODY! SEE YAH!.........

jaime said...

yes vegas, I agree w/ you. I'm sure when it comes to YJ's part, i will fully understand it. Somehow just by looking at his face and watching his mouth moves, he seems to be telling us everything already ;)

hehe, maybe it'll be clearer tomorrow. thanks for your kind words.

love .... jaime

my dear chinggu,

thank you so much for you encouraging words. You are always here for me. hehe, you know which one is my favourite script? Your birthday story w/ HRH! I think it's brilliant work by Yuko and Jillie. with your (and their) permission, I'd like to post it here some day.

love ... jaime

jaime said...

hi dear mymy,

thank you for pointing me to gaulsan's post in Quilt. I haven't been there all day and WOW, what a display of kindness and care from her. This BYJ world is just amazing! We have screencaps, vods minutes after the show, now script the next day! and soon even chinese subtitle mentioned by bb! We are truly a blessed group of people.

thanks mymy for the clarification.
I really got it all mixed up! I hope you have a great day in school!

love .... jaime onni

gosijo said...

Hee, hee, Jaimey, we love your 'mixed-up' interpretations. Please, please, we implore you, continue to do them BEFORE checking out the real story!

I too hope Camille can tell us how to find the segments on YouTube as this is the best way for me to watch (I need my zzz too much -- health issues -- to stay up and watch the repeats past midnight on the weekend). Like you, I get frozen on some of the vods posted by our kind sisters.

Yes Jaime, this Bae world is amazing. I am going to watch the reruns this weekend, but before that, I can enjoy all the screen caps, vods, reviews, translations .. Thanks all sisters, without you I'll be lost. I am sooo glad I contact BB and Tiffany for the start. These girls and Joons family brought me to this world. Of course because of our wonderful prince.
And I like your view of the drama, it's so you!!

jaime said...

hahaha, thank you for your kind words. Please do not encourage me too much, otherwise I'll be really mixed up ^%#&%@*$! :)

jaime said...

Hi dear yee,

oh, so you start from Joonsfamily but live in the States, right? I remember you are on the east coast. Yeah, Joonsfamily is a great site with so much good information. I learn a lot about Yong Joon from Joonsfamily too. Tiffany, bb and the other sisters are wonderful.

hehe, the story is so me huh? so silly u mean :) thanks for reading!

love ... jaime

Hi again Chinggu!

By all means you can repost the birthday story anytime you want. BUT, I am quite excited as to know the outcome/sequel/part 2 to part 100000000001, hahahhahaah!.Sorry for always bugging you on the sequel. Let's share this very ingenius script (like I said that it's very eligible to be a nominated short film for MTV Movie Awards at the BEST KISS category with me & HRH- BTW, do I have to fight with everybody here to get that award & show the kissing scene right up the stage?) LOL!

Golly, have to start using Minoxidil & Regrow hair growth potion coz I might be bald(after all the hair pulling events with everybody) before accepting the award, hehehehheheh!

Love everyone's humor here & keep it up!

Love, Judy

jaime said...

hi hi byjglobal,

U mean you being Korean, couldn't follow the story?! then I don't feel so left out! I guess it is really a complicated story, afterall, it's really history! hehe, maybe the schools in Korea should use it as educational material?? ;)

I read the explaination and the pics were really good!i think the pregnant woman is damedok's mom and she ran into a deserted hut near the mountains to avoid the bad guys from killing the baby that was born under the joo shin star, destinied to be the joo shin king.the twirling column of white light is the awakening of one of the 4 totems. i think its the white tiger.damedok was raised in a village until he was about 11yrs old when his uncle on the throne died and appointed his father to be king of kyogro thats when he moved into the palace.
(sigh.BYJ loks so cute...)
