The greatness of FAITH and Song writer-nim

[scottishlass]

Yup still rambling on it as I am rewatching and reading up on Choi Young and all. Last night, I had an interesting thought. According to the Wikipedia stub Choi Young's grave only showed the first signs of grass growing on jeokbun (적분), which means red grave, in 1979. Before that his grave was grass free and showed only the red burial earth.

Writer-nim is absolutely brilliant and she knows the legend of CY inside out!!! Why? We assume that Eun-Soo is three to five years older than Choi Young who is 30 at the time he kidnaps Eun-Soo (He was 16 when he joined the Red Crescent Moon gang, stayed there for seven years before becoming the Woodalchi daejang and has been in the various king's services for 7 years as well).

If Eun-Soo was born in 1979 that would make her 33 years in 2012, so Choi Young's spirit came to rest over his unjustly demise in 1979 when Eun-Soo, the love of his life was born.

I so love Song writer-nim.

Wow! So one could also say his heart was bare of emotions until EunSoo came to this world. What a gorgeous metaphor with actual events. I'm soooo in love with this series and its the little bits, like this, which make me love it more.

I read it on one of discussion boards. They also have translations of the interview with the writer. She describes some of her intentions and the ideas. Such as changing the last name for Eun Soo to Yoo, based on the name of the general's wife. And the idea about flowers - also from the beginning of the story.
