The original title was 보보경심 (步步惊心), which as far as I can tell roughly means ‘a heart/mind that is startled or saddened at each step’. In the Korean version, 려 was added to disambiguate it from the original Chinese drama, such that the title became 보보경심 려.

IU confirmed that the last scene would have been a shot of Wang So in modern attire. In the modern day scene, where you have short hair and are dressed in a beautiful suit, and handed me a handkerchief.” So there. ‘Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’ had a happy ending for your beloved Wang So and Hae Soo.

Definitely. This drama introduces you to another historical moment that shaped the Korea we know today. It might be a little romance-centered but the kiligs were worth it! The drama is also worth watching especially knowing how the casts grew closer with each other throughout the shooting.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo confirmed to have season 2 with the original cast Lee Joon Gi, The sequel series will be entitled as Reunited Hearts: Bulgeun Dal, In the event that ‘Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo’ Season 2 takes place, we do not expect the release date to be anytime before 2022.

Though the Scarlet Heart Ryeo ending left us with no happy ending, I took 4th Prince’s last words to heart. In my headcanon, Hae-Soo and 4th Prince are like Prince Charming and Snow White in Once Upon A Time. Maybe as the last scene ended, he raced into the museum where Hae-Soo was and embraced her.

The ending to Moon Lovers was hard and had fans feeling immense emotional pain. To make matters worse, Wang So (Lee Joon-Gi) doesn’t visit her beforehand and upon hearing of her death realizes that the letters he refused to open explained her feelings for him. Hae Soo wakes up in her own time thinking it to be a dream.

Who did Hae Soo have a baby with? UPDATE: Unfortunately, after watching Episode 20, a lot has deviated from the novel/Chinese version. Some of the unexpected things that happened are: Hae Soo gave birth to a daughter (father is Wang So), which Jung raised up as his own.
