Love in the Moonlight (Moonlight Drawn by Clouds / Gureumi Geurin Dalbit) (2016) s01e07 Episode Script

1 You may go.
I shall escort you to Dongungjeon.
Do you not see that he is about to drop dead? I am fine.
Your Highness! Your Highness.
Where did you go after causing that scene? I What? Did you really save Eunuch Hong? - Are you not hurt? - Ask one at a time.
- Your Highness - Starting tomorrow.
We will get going, Your Highness.
I will see you again at Dongungjeon.
Your Highness.
Byung Yun.
Did you get hurt again because of me? It is my job.
It is not because of you.
That is not right.
You always worry about me.
You saved my life and nursed me all night long when I was ill.
I told you already that it was not me.
If it had not been you, who could it have been? The only ones who live in Jahyeongdang How did you know that I parted from my mother? I dreamed of the day I parted from my mum.
Byung Yun.
It is amazing.
Now that I am back here, I feel so at peace.
You said before, right? That no one likes the palace.
And that if you come to like someone in the palace, it becomes a decent place in which to live.
That sounds familiar.
You must be tired.
Go to sleep.
Byung Yun.
You know I am worried that I will grow to like the palace more.
(Chapter 7, Profession) Why that Eunuch Hong.
Master.
What brings you here? I needed to check something.
Sorry? Are you not hurt? No, I am fine.
Were you worried? Yes.
Do not make me worry again because you are very special to me.
Sorry? You are the only eunuch who has made me run.
You are so funny.
I am glad you are safe.
I heard from Byung Yun that you played a big part in bringing the investigator censor from Qing.
It was very important to me as well, so I helped slightly.
Something important enough to defy your father's will.
I guess you mean not to worry since it was not for me.
Yes, Your Highness.
I shall get going now, Master.
Your Highness, may I ask what is making you laugh so? Is it not interesting? Why is he acting so generous only to that eunuch? Since when did the Crown Prince care for the subjects? That is why strange rumours are floating around, questioning whether he likes men.
What is that? That is absurd.
That eunuch's name is Sam Nom, correct? Yes, Your Highness.
Why you My apologies, Your Highness.
It is difficult already, but do you expect me to drink medicine you gagged at? I I have committed a mortal sin, Your Highness.
I I have been having stomach problems lately.
I do not want to hear it.
Drag her out of here.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness, please spare me.
Please spare me, Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Your Highness! Are you sure it's safe to use? This plant makes you swell up if you touch it.
Exactly.
I put in just a little to smooth out the wrinkle.
It'll make forehead round and tighten under the eyes.
It may be poisonous, but it is helpful if it's used properly.
And he is a specialist in poisons.
Have you heard? I hear the palace's furnace is hot these days.
What? The weather is too hot to light the furnace.
Why is it hot? Nobody goes there.
How nice is that? I hear lonely eunuchs and female palace attendants visit there every night.
They hide in there.
And what? My gosh.
The sun has already set while we were playing.
- What? - Shall we go? - Yes, we should go.
- Let us go.
- Where are you going? - Bye.
Don't go hiding! By any chance, do they hide - And - and eat meat? The Queen is already concerned with the rumours, but she did this in front of Her Highness.
My gosh.
I can't believe her.
His Majesty has not visited the court ladies in years.
If it is not the King, it must be the royal family member or a palace guard.
Who knows? There are some eunuchs who become revived.
Things must be hectic among female palace attendants now.
The Queen ordered that we bring in any eunuchs that we may suspect.
We shall conduct the drug test on all of the eunuchs.
That is a wise decision.
Let us use this chance to snuff the rumours about the eunuchs.
What should we do about the trainees who just came? Why have you not touched your meal? The Crown Prince does not eat without a taster.
(Taster tests the food to confirm it is not poisoned.
) Where did the taster go? I shall go get her.
You shall do it.
Come close and sit.
Do you want me to taste the food? It is not poisoned, Your Highness.
It is salty.
It is fishy.
Goodness.
He is still as picky.
I cannot eat it.
You eat it.
Please think of the palace workers who prepared it.
If you do not want it, I will have them remove it.
- Come in! - I will eat it.
I will eat.
Here.
Where did all of these go in that tiny body? Pardon me.
According to my grandfather, - wise men must not hesitate to ask.
- I understand.
Just ask.
Well What do you mean by staying with you? It means as it is.
What's wrong with wanting to keep my favourite eunuch? Oh, I see.
You're already five steps away from me.
Pardon me? Yes, Your Highness.
Are you back, my lord? Is Yoon Sung inside? Were you reading? Yes, Grandfather.
I spoke about your marriage to the daughter of Minister of Culture and Education.
After your marriage, I'll have one of our family be the Crown Prince's wife.
Pardon? I am not ready yet.
This isn't about finding the right partner for you.
Until when are you going to be that leisurely? Grandfather, I All you need to do is follow my orders.
Do not worry.
She's known to be beautiful and wise.
Go in for a minute.
- I do not want to.
- Just go in for a minute.
Did I not tell you to end it? Don't you know the pregnant court lady disappeared? That is why I will be careful for a while.
I do not want to keep meeting you in secret like this.
What else can we do with our status? Everyone meets each other secretly.
Can you say in front of others that you like me? Have you lost your mind? What if something bad happens to you? Our love would only hurt each other.
Why you Hey.
You're such a coward.
Wait.
Wol Hee.
Wol Hee.
Master Ma.
It was not my intention to be in the scene.
You would better keep quiet for your sake.
How many did I do? You did 25 times.
Are there many attendants around the Crown Prince? Yes.
He must want to spend time alone at times.
He takes a walk alone in the garden sometimes.
The garden? How many did I do? Where did she go? Are you not the Crown Prince? You do remember me.
Is that right? I remember you.
What brings you here? I was on my way to see the Princess Did you get lost again? Such beautiful flowers led my way here.
It is not a place where you can be led.
Did Myung Eun tell you the hole which leads to here? Pardon me? You don't think I came through a hole, do you? It all went wrong.
My plan was to pretend that I run into you accidentally.
That you run into me accidentally? There's nothing I can do now that you found out.
According to "Classic of Changes", training one's body and mind is important, but one must rest when it gets dark.
"Book of Documents" says one must guard oneself from complacency but must know the difficulties first.
Do you mean I should fully rest when I am resting? Yes.
If it is all right with you, why don't you take a walk with me for a while? "No, thank you.
There is no specific reason"? I feel terrible.
Why did he smile in the first place? It made me excited.
I I am Ma Jong Ja.
Jong Ja? Get me some food.
I said I am Ma Jong Ja! Come out.
Come out now.
Please come out, Wol He is crazy.
I can't believe him.
Why are you following me? You'd better leave Wol Hee alone.
It is just that I was worried about you.
You are not in the place to worry me.
You're pretending Are you okay? It's fine as long as you're not dead.
Act like a man.
Byung Yun.
Once a girl becomes a court lady, can she not take it back? I'm talking about palace attendants.
It's impossible without the King's permission.
I will pretend that I did not hear it, so do not mention it again.
Did you hear everything? - There must be a way - That is against the laws.
Yes, it is against the laws, but you can do nothing about how your heart wants to do.
You.
You ran away after hitting my neck.
Do you wish to die? I did not hit you.
You made the worst decision that day.
You went to her place after drinking and shouted, - "Come out, Wol Hee.
" - Stop it.
What do you want to do, Master? Who? Me? What can I do? I cannot do anything.
Well Do you want me to help you? Who are you to tease me? What if I have a good idea? The Office of Famine Relief got attacked.
And Minister of Taxation, Kim Jang Suk, wish to resign.
It was the right decision as the person in charge.
I heard he hid the rice stored for emergency and many people resented him for it.
Why are these facts not written in here? Why are you blinded by what ignorant people say and focus only on small mistakes the officials made? Have you not heard who attacked the Office of Famine Relief? Tell me who they are.
Those who caused the recent suspicious attacks were wearing this mask.
The pivotal figure of the group is Hong Gyeong Nae.
He is already dead.
Yes, that is why they are desperately looking for his children.
What did you say? Are those men looking for his children to make them as the new pivotal figure? I could not tell you until now because I was concerned about your health, but the group is moving suspiciously nowadays.
Arrest all of them.
What happened in the past must never repeat.
(Jahyeondang) Byung Yun.
Are you worried about something? Sewing is the best to get rid of unnecessary thoughts.
- Could you help - Be quiet.
Fine, I didn't expect you would help me anyway.
And this is not as easy as you think.
You probably can't put a thread through a needle.
You are really amazing.
You know how to use your body.
- Turn off the lights so we can sleep.
- Byung Yun.
When a man once put a thread through a needle Could you also do this one? Come on, Byung Yun.
How could you say that? - Gosh.
- Stop it at once.
Your Highness.
You are not going to tell no matter what.
Is that what you mean? That is fine if you cannot trust me.
Where shall I send you? Office of Eunuch Attendants? Department of Justice? - Bring Chief Eunuch Han.
- Your Highness.
Some ignorant eunuchs were talking nonsense.
They must've criticised me instead of talking nonsense.
The Crown Prince cannot be complimented all the time.
Tell me.
They said the Crown Prince likes men.
How could they say something so blasphemous? Goodness.
That is not serious.
It's all right.
You did not have to fight for such a thing.
They say you look at Eunuch Hong so warmly.
I said it is all right.
They say the rumour is all around the palace.
They say you treat him like he is your lover.
That is enough.
As you will be taking the sovereignty soon, I was worried it might harm you.
I had to defend you.
Please forgive me.
What is this? It is nothing.
Tell me what this is.
What are you trying to do? If you do not tell me in the count of three It will deliver the sincerity so that no one gets hurt.
I warned you not to care about Eunuch Ma's business.
I will not do anything against the laws.
It is useless.
Delivering how you feel will not change anything.
It is not stretching your arms thinking you will reach the sky.
Everyone knows the court ladies are for the King.
Then? You know it is useless, but you can't help falling in love with someone.
Even if nothing changes, you still hope she knows your feelings.
Professing your love only to make yourself at ease It is such a selfish thing to do.
Is it wrong to profess for someone you cannot be with? A proper farewell is as sincere as love.
Who knows if the memory of being loved could give you strength to go on with your life? You would never understand how it must feel, though.
Goodness.
You say whatever you want to say and you cannot stand losing even to a man.
What should I do with you? Why are you saying this all of a sudden? Who would adore a pampered daughter-in-law like you? A daughter-in-law? Master.
I needed to sit under this tree as well.
Who is it? Who upset you so much? It is myself who makes me angry the most.
I think I only burden His Highness.
I feel terrible.
As a eunuch, do you mean? Of course.
It may be because you do not belong there.
This eunuch's attire does not suit you, either.
Master.
Is this not the clothes you bought for someone special? That is right.
I was waiting for the day when she accepts this gladly.
Why did you bring it? I am planning to ask her today.
Do you not wish to live as a woman? Did Premier Kim suggest that? Do not be surprised.
You are no longer a child.
Premier Kim has such a reliable grandson.
You have not given him the answer, have you? What is it? Do you not want to marry him? I am baffled as it is unexpected.
Father.
If I must marry someone, I would like to marry someone I want.
I am comfortable living like this.
Even if you keep pretending, here is too dangerous.
You know that.
I will help you leave the palace and live as a woman.
I mean Could you not let me do that for you? I have wanted to tell you this since the day I bought this clothes.
Master, I I will wait until I realise what you truly want.
(Court Lady's Man) Do Hwa is the prettiest girl in the entire country.
She becomes a court lady to be the king's woman.
I, Do Hwa, do not like any man who is easy to approach.
For 10 years, she has not had a chance to see the king.
Instead, Eunuch Wang chases her wherever she goes.
Stop.
Do not come any closer to me.
Stay there.
Do you think I came to the palace to meet a eunuch? However, the only one she can rely on in the palace is Eunuch Wang.
- She is here.
- Is she here? What are they so excited about? The off-duty court ladies gathered together.
Some eunuch trainees are performing for them.
I cannot believe them.
In such a serious situation Who are they? You know him.
I think his name is Hong Sam Nom.
The one who used to be in a performance troupe.
Hong Sam Nom? Yes, Master.
Finally, she has been chosen by the king.
But all she can think of is Eunuch Wang.
You used to tell me how much you like me.
Why can you not say it? Why can you not say that I am your woman? What can I do? A court lady and a eunuch cannot be together.
Are you sure you can live without seeing me? I will see you.
We both are meant to live in the palace until we die.
I am leaving.
I will not come back to you.
Fine.
Go.
Go and live however you'd like.
You'll only die if you stay with me! But I wanted to tell you this for the last time.
I wanted to say this out loud in front of people! I love you! I love you with all my heart! Did you hear me? Did you hear how much I care for you? You are only one of many court ladies to His Majesty, but to me, you mean the whole world! You heard me, right? Is it wrong to profess for someone you cannot be with? A proper farewell is as sincere as love.
Who knows if the memory of being loved could give you strength to go on with your life? What are you doing right now? Are you not aware of the situation? Whoever planned this, step forward.
What brought you to Jungungjeon at this hour? You never came to see me even when I summoned you.
I took the bait you threw and came here.
Now that you've seen my face as you wished, I will take him with me.
Get him up.
That cannot be done.
He, a mere eunuch trainee, has done something presumptuous.
Do you not know every court lady is for the King? Please do not be upset.
A love story between a eunuch and a court lady is very common for a revue as you know.
They even say that the King is a fool who lets the Queen control him like a puppet and that he is a womaniser.
Would you like to punish all of them? Crown Prince! Stand up.
I do not deserve your mercy, Your Highness.
I said to stand up! His Majesty cannot sleep as riots increase every day.
Are you not afraid of the rumours about you? I think that is enough.
It was a mistake a mere eunuch trainee made.
If you keep showing your emotions like that, it will make things complicated.
Let's go.
Your Highness, are you all right? Those aren't the eyes to look at a eunuch.
They are the eyes of a man looking at his lover.
Your Highness, you did well in refraining from anger.
The Queen intended to provoke you using Eunuch Hong Anyway, I am relieved, Your Highness.
What's wrong with wanting to keep my favourite eunuch? As you will be taking the sovereignty soon, I was worried it might harm you.
I had to defend you.
Are you not afraid of the rumours about you? Do you think this is a joke? Are you trying to tease me? You must take off your pants for the drug test.
This is frustrating.
In fact Master Sung, I have something to tell you I do not need to hear that.
I said to take off your pants right now.
In fact, I am I am What is it now? It is nothing.
Someone sent croakers as a gift.
The Queen said to send it to Premier Kim's house.
- Never mind.
I will go - Stop.
Why would you go there? I am the eunuch serving the Queen.
I thought you were busy.
Gosh.
Examine his body for me.
Check everything.
Yes.
(Pass) How long have you known about this? Since the King's birthday festival.
I am sorry.
I accept your apology.
Thank you.
Watching you two brought me comfort.
Why? You got away with it this time, but the palace is not safe even for the King.
You know that, right? Yes, Master.
I guess I should leave if I could.
Straighten up your shoulders and look at me.
Your Highness, this is how a eunuch must stand.
I know.
Did anyone scold you for walking next to me and looking at me in the eyes? No, Your Highness.
If not, I assume you are upset with me.
Your Highness, do not be too kind to me.
I cannot be your friend or anything else.
You cannot be my friend or anything else.
I was told that a eunuch must be one step behind you and that I must not go any closer or farther.
You are my person.
Who can decide the distance between us? Please cherish me the same as other eunuchs.
That will make me grateful enough.
You know it is useless, but you can't help falling in love with someone.
Even if nothing changes, you still hope she knows your feelings.
Do you not wish to live as a woman? I guess I should leave if I could.
Your Highness, did you wish to see me? I told a lie.
When I said to stay with me, I did not mean as a eunuch.
Then why did I say that to you? I needed to calm this outrageous confusion, so I questioned myself endlessly every night.
And I have found the answer.
Your Highness.
What are you doing? Before being the Crown Prince, I am a person and a man.
I I like you.
That is my answer.
Wait But What are you doing? Silver Spoon, you are the Crown Prince.
How could you like a man? I mean, a eunuch? You must not.
Do not say my feelings are wrong.
You said so yourself that you cannot judge your heart which has gone its own way.
Sorry? I did.
But even with love, there are both good love and bad love.
This is Anyone can see No one will bless - It is forbidden - I know.
However, I plan to do it.
That bad love.
