Spoilers, spoilers, everywhere... Moon Lovers has an unpleasant habit of showing hard-earned progression in the relationship between Su and So and undermining it in the next instance. As a self-confessed fan of the pairing it’s an exercise in frustration but narratively I can see its design. On hindsight it seems like these are hints and markers indicating that the entity often referred to as Heaven’s Will in these dramas has no interest in accommodating the couple in question and seeing them romance in a hurry. The road they travel on is a path of much resistance, accompanied by seemingly insurmountable odds, possibly providing omens of the grief that is to come. Just when either one is able to savour a moment of personal triumph, another obstacle presents itself. Like an unwelcomed interloper, Heaven's Will/Fate rears its cold, ugly head interfering like a pot plant falling from the top of ten-storey building and landing on top of the old noggin.
