Jealousy sparks in gender bender Moonlight Drawn By Clouds.

As audience have been drawn to the Mon-Tue prime night slot KBS drama Moonlight Drawn By Clouds, there was something that spark in the air. Two words- jealousy and romance.
The last episode of the drama shows Crown Prince Lee Yeong saved Eunuch Hong (Ra On) from been send off to Ming country (China) by the evil corrupted envoy.

He also discovered that Yoon Sung is part of the saving strategy as he tipped off bodyguard Kim Byung on the routes of the illegal exchange process. To his surprise Yeong doesn't think Yoon Sung is as good since his grandfather is the evil PM and his aunt in Queen Kim.

Rumors in the palace started circulated that the Crown Prince is turning 'gay' and shifting his attentions to his close eunuch has somehow reached the ears of Yeong and Ra On who were left astounded. Yeong just took it as a plain joke laughing off loudly. Ra On suddenly discovers Eunuch Ma is in love with the Princess' court lady. When Ra On offers to help the two star crossed lovers, she gets into trouble as well. 

Queen Kim starts abusing Ra On and ill-treating her in front of Yeong. Yeong stood firm and told Ra On to stand up firmly. He dished back to the Queen regarding the rumors regarding him being gay. The Queen caught a glance on how Yeong looked at Ra On indifferently to how he previously treated his eunuchs. A King's order was passed down to have a thorough medical examination on all eunuchs. Eunuch Ma stood in to quickly help out Ra On knowing her secret. She is thankful for his favor and he is thankful to her for helping him out sorting his feelings for the court lady. 

Crown Prince seems uninterested in the moves by Lady Ha Yeon
Ra On reminded the Crown Prince to treat her as normally he would with other subjects in the palace. Yeong kept quiet but the next day he instructed her to meet him at a garden where he started telling him how he feels. Ra On was taken back and shocked when Yeong tells her that he is the Crown Prince and he is one man...all he knows is he loves her. Well...her or him...we don't know if Yeong really refers Ra On to him/her. The hell with it!  He even rejects the invitation of Ha Yeon to walk together with him at the garden... No matter how pretty a girl is, Yeong couldn't care less because in his eyes, there is no one else he sees except for Ra On.


I give thumbs up for Yeong's bravery and guts to tell his subject his true feelings without beating about the bush. The ratings topped at 20% with the start of the romance and forbidden love.
