This tv series has impacted me so much and has taught me several things too.
1. People aren't inherently bad. Even though they do super bad things. They have a reason to be the way they are. Not that it makes their bad deeds justified. But just that may be we can show some mercy to them.
2. People can change. For most part of the show I was convinced that Hae Soo wouldn't be able to change history by changing the 4th Prince. That he would be remembered as the bloody monarch who killed all this brothers and nephews. The wolf dog. The animal. But she changed him. She changed history. After all, he did turn out to be a good and a wise king.
3. But that doesn't mean you make it your mission to go around changing people. You should be able to gauge their actions and intentions and see if there is any hope. I'm sure if after killimg his older brother, the 4th Prince wouldn't be that upset, Hae Soo wouldn't see his heart. She would run away from him as far as she could.
4. People change for the worst too. It's not always a good change. Take the 8th Prince, Wook for example. He had such a solid good guy character for the first half of the TV series.
Because of these two characters and the major changes they underwent in the duration of the show I am convinced that the catalyst (Hae Soo) in this case isn't as important as what lies in a person's heart/soul. Sure, sometimes most people need just a push towards either the light or the burning pits of hell. And because all they need is a push, they are already facing that direction. Or their heart truly wants to face that direction. If the 4th Prince was truly evil as everyone portrayed him, no matter how much Hae Soo tried he would end up as a bloody monarch.
5. The understanding and forgiveness Hae Soo showed towards Chae Ryngi was just unexpected and admirable. I don't know if I could do that in a situation where I am betrayed by someone I consider my friend, my younger sister but maybe because of what Hae Soo has taught me, I can at least try to see why. And hear them out.
6. Moon lovers also taught me that knowing when to leave and having the courage to do so is very crucial.
7. But it also taught me that it's okay to look back after a goodbye. That life is short and fleeting and that a goodbye to someone you love doesn't have to be final. It doesn't have to be forever.
8. To differentiate between love and friendship. And to be clear about that differentiation no matter how hard. Not just you but the other person too deserves to know what you feel for them. Even if they don't want to hear it.
9. To not blame people or your life or the stars. To live your life in the best way you can no matter what situation or heck! what era life throws you in.
10. To love. Passionately and gloriously. But to never forget yourself in love hot, messy love. To know your well being and freedom are the most important.
It has taught me a dozen other things. It has made me cry a whole lot too. It broke me. But it also fixed me.
