Tues, May 6~ Episode #19 Is Skipping!

[Nalbal]

I'm watching episode 19 right now, and the first 15 minutes has been filled with nothing but "blackouts" and skipping, causing me to miss a good deal of the story line. What is going on at KBS?? It better go well when they re-run tomorrow at 1:00 p.m!

Hi Nalbal,
I think the repeat time has changed to 2pm. you might want to check both time slots, but i remember there was a thread about the time change just before the antenna went out a couple of weeks ago. i hope you see this before tomorrow.

I've seen this a lot on various shows on Ch41 the past few days. In 'Landscape in My Heart', for instance, the blackouts are in the same place in both the afternoon and overnight airings. Probably trouble with their satellite dish at the station, so the blackouts would be on their tape. The rebroadcast will probably have them too

... so when they turned the corner and looked up in horror, can we assume that what they saw was that Chogungjang tried to hang herself?

That was my assumption too, kathleen. I didn't see any rope burns on her neck afterwards, but we learned from DJY that miraculous healing seems to be a trademark of these things. I'm going to tape the rebroadcast and take another look, though. Not only for that, but there were several other things that either weren't clear to me or were muddled by the skips and I can't finish the episode summary as is yet.

I must have started watching late because I didn't notice the problems. This is shaping up to be very interesting, though. It looks like Choongnyeong is going to try to take the thrown from his brother!

Hi all!

Yes, she did attempt suicide. Saying no more, though because #1 anything beyond that might be an unwanted spoiler and #2 because I wasn't taping the show and it aired here in L.A. a couple weeks back, and #3 because I rely on your synopses to REALLY tell me what is going on.

I saw the second half Tues night, which wasn't skipping. But Wed afternoon, when I tuned in to see the first part I'd missed, there were the blackouts & skipping you referred to.
I really hope this is when Choongnyeong FINALLY stands up! I mean, the Crown Prince is arrogant, spoiled, and only thinks of himself. Truly, he isn't deserving of the honor, since he wants no part of the work of learning, or the responsibility to the people he's supposed to be serving.
Plus, I REALLY want to see Ha Ryun get his just desserts, too!

Excellent--thanks for the pic. When I looked at the episode a second time, I realized that we did see her start to tear up a bed quilt in the previous scene, which made this the logical conclusion. But I'm glad to see confirmation of that.

Thanks soju - such a chilling way to depict this.
