Love in the Moonlight (Moonlight Drawn by Clouds / Gureumi Geurin Dalbit) (2016) s01e08 Episode Script

1 I wanted to hide my feelings from everyone because I thought I must not show it to make you stay with me.
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? This eunuch's attire does not suit you, either.
Do you not wish to live as a woman? Your words gave me courage to profess my feelings, which may put me in danger and make me lose you.
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 plan to do it.
That bad love.
(Chapter 8, You Do Not Know Anything) Did something happen? Byung Yun.
Please watch what you say.
Me? Asking it when nothing happened That is rude.
It is? I apologise.
Byung Yun.
May I ask you something? What is it? From what I know, you are the person the Crown Prince cherishes the most, and Eunuch Jang comes after you.
Has he ever had affections for a maiden? Ever? All this time? No, he has not.
Not once.
He has not.
He has not.
I plan to let you leave the palace.
I shall delete all of your records here.
Will you leave and live together? Yes, Your Highness.
If you go here, he will find you a home and work.
Oh my.
How could you Thank you for teaching me that the sincerity of love creates miracles.
Live a long and happy life together.
- Yes, Your Highness.
- Yes, Your Highness.
Master Ma.
You must be happy together, okay? You are the 30th couple I put together.
Do not worry about putting others together and look around you.
Not one person, but two.
Do you not see? It is the list of those who passed and test writers over the past 10 years.
Test writers are from Kim Family and those who passed are from Kim Family.
They are all from Kim Family.
How interesting.
These are the questions and answers for the exam.
(Questions and answers for the regular examination) I can't believe these obvious answers were passed.
But then again, it did not matter what they wrote.
The applicants are chosen by family name anyway.
What do you think? Do you want my thoughts as the one from Kim Family or as the Section Chief of Culture and Education? You mean your reply changes accordingly.
As a member of Kim Family, I'd appreciate the reproach.
As an official, I'd use it to correct anything wrong.
Do you mean it? If I say I do, would you believe me? Premier Kim would have a fit if he heard.
I will take a look.
You are excused.
Eunuch Hong.
Would you make some time for me? Sorry? - I was - Sam Nom, come here.
Yes, Your Highness.
Thank you, Master.
You are correct.
A eunuch is not befitting for me.
I should leave the palace as soon as possible, but But? I do not want to leave.
It is strange, is it not? I have thought it over and over, but it is the same.
I want to stay here a little longer.
I am sorry, Master.
I wonder what has captured your heart enough to make you take on the risk.
Are you saying you'll go to a temple in a mountain to lose weight? That is right.
If I eat what the monk gives me for two weeks, they say my face will shrink in half.
Who said that? Can you trust them? (The Love Story of Joseon That We Don't Know of) He wrote this book.
There is nothing he does not know about relationships.
This book May I borrow it for a while? Goodness! What is it about? There is a rumour Hong Gyeong Nae's daughter is alive.
Have you heard? No, I have not.
With one word from Premier Kim, my father's anxiety has worsened.
This mask is the same as what I saw at his feast.
Do you remember? Yes, Your Highness.
You need to look into it.
Who are they? Are they searching for Hong Gyeong Nae's daughter? If so, what is the reason? Yes, Your Highness.
If it is true, we must find them before Premier Kim.
It is heavy.
Give it to me.
I cannot.
This is my job, Your Highness.
There are many eyes on us.
Then put it away.
I am fine getting some sunlight.
Your Highness, the sun is bright.
Please go under the parasol.
I am fine.
If this is heavy, I am no man.
Hoon Nam.
Yes, Your Highness.
The breeze is nice, so I will nap here.
Do not wake me.
Yes, Your Highness.
And you.
Hold this properly.
Do you understand? Why is this tiny hand so rough? That is how a man's hands are.
That is right.
Your eyes, nose and lips are clearly those of a man.
Your strength is what I fell for.
I see.
Sorry? I fear someone may hear.
Please take back everything you said to me.
You do not take back words you have spoken.
You take responsibility for them.
Rest.
I shall read slowly.
Your Highness.
You are so kind to me, but I cannot be happy.
Do not think you know everything about me.
I never said I do.
I said to rest.
Your Highness, do not be so good to me.
I keep wanting to lean on you.
This will not do.
Eunuch Hong.
She is the Princess' friend.
Are you Eunuch Hong? Yes, I am.
To recap, he is in high class and handsome.
He is cold and is not interested in beautiful women such as yourself.
I tried many times to draw his attention, but it was to no avail.
What did you do? When I fell because of him, I reached out my hand and asked him to help me up.
My gosh.
You should have slapped him and acted even more disinterested.
Is that right? But I cannot keep from smiling when I see him.
That is not all.
I asked him to go for a walk, and he rejected me straight out.
Did you really do that? I had no shame.
Why are you looking at me like that? Is there no way you can help me? No.
I do not think I need to help you.
What use is it to know the secrets to relationships? You can relay your feelings just as you are.
I envy you.
- Me? - Yes.
I am sure you will end up with him.
You see, sincerity is very powerful.
Your Highness.
Being an interim king before becoming 20 may be hard-standing and make you be shaken.
However, please be steadfast and do not be lazy in overseeing the political affairs.
Please continue to study and learn.
- Then whatever trials - Hoon Nam.
may not be Yes, Your Highness.
Stop making it so difficult.
"Be strong.
" That is all you need to say.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness, please be strong.
Thank you.
What about you? Do you not have anything to say to me? I do not.
Because I know you will do great.
The Crown Prince has arrived! The Crown Prince must have been shocked after seeing the empty hall.
He must have walked in confidently by now.
What a shame.
How could he cancel the regular examination and decide to do the special test written by the King? He might have realised the successful applicants are chosen beforehand.
He is announcing he will stop the Kim Family's success.
It's the exam to select those who will assist the King.
Let him do as he wishes unless he gives up on his own.
What can he do alone without the officials? We have been running the royal court until now.
We should teach him a lesson.
Do you not agree? Minister of Finance fell ill and cannot participate.
Supreme Commissioner Kim Soo Hyung has a high fever.
My goodness.
Someone even has a skin rash.
How despicable.
Your Highness, shall I send men to force them to come? Did you not hear it right? Everyone is very ill.
(Love in the Moonlight) I know you wish to see me to no end, but do not make it so obvious.
Sorry? You look down, Your Highness.
Please have some of this, Your Highness.
Sweets are the best when you are down.
What would you do? About what? If you faced a difficult foe, what would you do? If it is someone I must fight, I must fight with all my might.
If that still does not work, I should go with the flow.
I will excuse myself now.
Your Your Highness.
It really is very effective medicine.
You did not have any yet.
I meant you.
Tell the royal physician and pharmacist to come in.
(Royal pharmacist is a eunuch in charge of medicine.
) Sorry? But But We found someone who was close to Hong Gyeong Nae.
We will find out whether he knows about his family's whereabouts.
Find out quickly.
It has to be before those thieves.
Yes, my lord.
He died 10 years ago, yet they still wait for his return.
Hong Gyeong Nae really must be incredible.
You are right.
To think, everyone is making a fuss to search for his daughter.
- Let me see.
- That is What is that? "Kim Eui Gyo".
"Kim Geun Gyo".
What is this? The Crown Prince is here.
I was concerned how I would deliver all the medicine, but luckily, you are all gathered.
What a relief.
Here.
I heard you have indigestion, so I had the pharmacist prepare medicine for it.
I hope they will be effective.
Do you not agree? Your Highness.
Please come inside.
I thought she was a widow at first since she lived alone with her daughter.
But every once in a while, I heard their arguing.
And a man came and left rice in front of the door, too.
So I thought he was the father, but it turned out he was Hong Gyeong Nae.
Have you heard anything since the riot? I am sure they died.
The royal guards searched the nation in order to find them.
They would not have let them live.
Do you remember anything else about the girl? No, I do not.
She was just a baby.
She had big and round eyes.
She was pretty.
What was her name? What was it? Ra Ra something.
Ra On.
Ra On.
Hong Ra On.
I am sure this place is well-located.
The officials who were too ill to work recovered so quickly after being here.
I was thinking of moving the court assembly to be held in your house.
What do you think? You must know that officials gathered separately to discuss the political matters out of their devotion to you and the nation.
Joseon has lasted for 400 years with the strength of scholar-officials.
However, you wish to ignore this and walk your own way.
It is the officials' responsibilities to ensure that you take the right path.
However, I think your right path and mine head in different directions.
If a red flower blooms in a green field, it is human nature to want to pick that flower.
You will get hurt if you stand out.
Is that what you mean? However, if you try to pick that flower, the grass in its vicinity is to be trampled first.
You must remember how much His Majesty regretted after he lost the Queen seven years ago.
Please do not ignore my loyal advice.
You can ask for me whenever you need help.
As the saying goes, "Be satisfied with what you have.
" It is not a shame to know your place.
I am Kim Yoon Sung.
I am Jo Ha Yun.
Were you surprised because I asked to see you? Not so much.
You must have your reasons.
Please have a seat.
I know it is not appropriate to meet you like this.
But I was curious as you might be my husband.
I had to see you even though it is not polite this way.
Has your curiosity been satisfied at all? Yes.
However, I am worried now.
To be a wife of such a great man like yourself, I have too many faults.
Could you elaborate? As I am an only child, I lack consideration for others, and I am impatient.
Oh, no.
That is a big problem.
Furthermore, I prefer reading books to embroidering.
I know many vulgar stories that would shock you.
My parents are very worried about me.
In fact, I am not as upright as I am known to be.
Please do not worry.
That cannot be true.
I meant that I understood what you want.
Pardon? You do not want to marry me, but you are afraid of the consequence of rejecting me.
How did you know that? By any chance, do you have someone else in mind? It seems that we are in the same situation.
What should we do about this? Let's find out a way to break off this arranged marriage peacefully.
Come and take a look at this.
Master.
Please take a look at this.
They are eternal love bracelets that tie lovers' fate.
Eternal love bracelets Even if you part from your lover, this bracelet will bring you two back together in the end.
I did not expect to see you here, Your Highness.
Why are you staring at me like that? Are you pretending that we met accidentally again? Pardon? I did not plan this.
It is true.
Does this mean we are meant to be together? She is way too straightforward.
Do you have any plans for tomorrow? I will be at the training field for the group training.
Who are they? I will jump into them on three.
Please run away.
One, two, three.
Are you all right? I am relieved that you are unharmed.
Why do you not ask me? About the reason why you were chased by them? If you could tell me, you would not hide it.
- Your Highness.
- I want to be alone for a while.
You may go now.
Byung Yun.
If I had only one person in the world whom I can trust, it would be you.
You know that, right? You must remember how much His Majesty regretted after he lost the Queen seven years ago.
I heard the palace attendants saying that she did not die of a disease.
Who hurt Mother? Young! Never say that again.
Do you understand? Father.
Please find out the truth.
Please find them.
Please catch the people who hurt Mother.
Young! Your Highness.
Where have you been? I visited someone I missed.
Who is the person, Your Highness? My mother.
What kind of person was the late Queen? She was bored in the palace and curious about the outside of the palace.
She is similar to you.
She often tried unusual things.
Her servants used to be in trouble.
It is the same for you as well.
Nevertheless, she had a warm heart and was wiser than anyone else.
I could not protect her.
I could not.
That was when I realised that I must become strong to protect someone I love.
Your Highness Were you worried because I disappeared again? You do not need to say anything.
You can just stay by my side.
You are like the sweets to me.
What is this? It was sent from Minister Jo's house, Your Highness.
Your Highness Not long ago, he saved my life when I was in danger.
What else could it be other than a fate? As you advised me, I am planning to tell him how I feel sincerely.
Did you not like my gift, Your Highness? I could not open it because I was not sure what it meant.
You saved my life.
It was only an accident.
Since I am not good at embroidering, I had to stay up for several nights to make this.
I often think of you and I miss you every day.
Does it mean that you cannot stand being away from me? Your Highness.
May I have your permission to ask something? Have you ever liked a maiden before? Yes, I have.
You have? When? What was she like? Right now.
I like a very beautiful woman.
If so, why would you keep being so nice to me? - That is - All day long, I get happy, upset and heartbroken because of you.
I suffered so much.
Even if I do not know and want to know what is in your mind to treat me like this, must I not ask you about it? I may be a eunuch serving you, but my heart does not belong to you as well.
I may be a eunuch serving you, but my heart does not belong to you as well.
What is it, Your Highness? Ra On? Why are you looking for her? I mean How do you know that name? Is she the girl you raised since the riot 10 years ago? I do not wish to harm her, but protect her.
So tell me.
Whatever.
I do not care.
She ran away long ago.
Do you know where she went? I do not.
That is why I came here to see if she came.
If someone else asks for her, tell them you really do not know.
No.
Escape before then.
It is dangerous here.
Wait.
Nothing will happen to Ra On, right? What are you doing? What is this? It is an accessory perfect for a pretty lady.
You should know.
A pretty lady? - Who - I told you that there is a lady that I like right now.
And she is standing before me.
Wait! Are you really trying to protect her? Sam Nom.
What did you say? Hong Sam Nom.
She is in the palace now.
She was sold off by the creditors.
That is all I know.
I will now treat you like the most precious lady in the world.
May I do that?
