Preview of Love in the Moonlight (구르미 그린 달빛)'s Ep.8 - with English Sub

It is interesting that KBS World puts its even number reviews on Facebook and / or Twitter but usually puts its odd number reviews on YouTube.  Is this how KBS World try to make us visit everywhere to get info of Love in the Moonlight?

Anyways, in ep7, the Crown Prince Lee Yeong (Park Bo Gum) confessed his love and kissed his Eunuch Hong Sam Nom / Hong Ra On (Kim You Jung). So, what will happen to their forbidden love?

Kim You Jung is only 16 (going to be 17 on Sept 22). I was very surprised to see her kissing scene.

Now, interesting developments in ep8.

At the Crown Prince's library, Ra On offers Yeong something to eat.
Ra On: When you feel down, sweet is a cure-all.
Yeong hugs her and calls her his cure-all.
Yeong: Indeed, a cure-all. I mean YOU.
Why does he need a cure-all? Why does he feel down?


Yeah, a scene of Kim Yun Seong (Jin Young) and Ra On! I know they won't be together as a couple. But at least please have more scenes with them together ...
Ra On: I Know I'm supposed to leave the Palace soon. 
But I don't want to do so.
Yun Seong:

What's holding you back?

Kim Yun Seong x Hong Ra On
Yun Seong: Will you give me some time?
Yeong: Sam Nom, come here.
Yun Seong, it's not wise to ask Ra On out right in front of the Crown Prince. You want to know what's holding Ra On back? Your cousin, the Crown Prince, is the reason. Looks like now you have the answer, too, Yun Seong.


The Minister of Personnel Kim Ui Gyo (Park Chul Min) is talking about something nasty.
The Minister Kim: We've led this Royal Court for decades. 
It's time to teach them a lesson.
I feel sad that the King and the Crown Prince are so powerless.  If the Kim clan is so powerful, how can Yeong and Yun Seong fix this? Will Yeong and Yun Seong become enemies because of their love towards Ra On?


In a conversation with the Prime Minister Kim Hun (Cheon Ho Jin), Yeong says
Yeong: You and I have different ideas of righteousness.
So who's idea of righteousness will win in ep8? Or this is only the beginning of their never-ending battle?


Yeong picks up a rebel's mask and Kim Byeong Yeon (Kwak Dong Yeon) hides out of sight.
Yeong: Byeong Yeon, if I had only one person to trust, it would be you.
Byeong Yeon which side will you choose? Being a rebel member or helping the Crown Prince?


Jo Ha Yeon (Chae Soo Bin) is happy that Yeong is safe and she grabs his hand in relief.
Ha Yeon: It's a big relief that you're alright.
Oh, ON!! Will Yeong feel differently towards Ha Yeon now?


In the Crown Prince's garden, Ra On is disappointed to see Yeong passes Ha Yeon a gift. Inside the Crown Prince's library, Ra On asks Yeong
Ra On: Have you ever longed for a woman?
Yeong: Yes, I have. A very beautiful woman.
This very beautiful woman is? Let's find out the answer in ep8.


Here is a video from KBS World's Facebook page.

When KBS's Entertainment Weekly interviewed the cast of Love in the Moonlight in August, the cast made a pledge.

Park Bo Gum: We will get dressed in hanbok and ...
Kwak Dong Yeon: dance to Bombastic.

Really, Dong Yeon? Park Bo Gum has a better idea.

Park Bo Gum: We will get dressed in hanbok and hold an event for autographs.

I'd love to go but I won't be in Seoul any time soon.

So, this fan meeting at Gwanghwamun will be held soon? Love to see video of this event.

Then, in another interview with Entertainment Weekly, Park Bo Gum made another pledge.

When the ratings break 30%, Kim You Jung and Park Bo Gum will have a Guerrilla Date with fans at an amusement park after they finished shooting the drama.

Will other cast members join them?

Looking forward to seeing Love in the Moonlight's ratings exceed 30%.

Videos of Love in the Moonlight (구르미 그린 달빛) - Ep.7 - part 2 - Korean without English sub

Here are the other 5 videos from KBS. The English translation of all the Korean titles is from Google Translate.

Video 6
구르미 그린 달빛 - 김유정, 박보검에 "이루어질 수 없는 사람에겐 고백하면 안됩니까?" 서운.20160912

김유정 (Kim You Jung), 박보검 (Park Bo Gum) 에 (to) "이루어질 수 없는 사람에겐 고백하면 안됩니까?  (Aren't you confess to someone that cannot be done? )" 서운 (auspicious clouds).

Have no idea why the Crown Prince Lee Yeong (Park Bo Gum) and Eunuch Hong (Kim You Jung) are fighting over a doll.

진영 (Jin Young), 김유정 (Kim You Jung) 에 (to) "여인으로 살고싶지 않습니까? (Do you want to live as a woman?) ".

Yeah, Kim Yun Seong (Jin Young) and Ra On are at their secret resting place!  I'm not a Jin-Young-fan but I'm a Yun-Seong-fan. Really, really, really want Ra On to accept Yun Seong's love. Is "여인으로 살고싶지 않습니까?"a marriage proposal? Is this a confession from Yun Seong to Ra On? Would anyone please translate their conversation?

최대철 (Choi Dae Chul), "진짜 많이 연모한다 (The real crush a lot)!" 진심 (sincerity) 담은 (containing) 인형 (doll) 연기 (acting).

Here is another confession. Eunuch Ma uses a puppet show to confess his love.  The same doll Ra On and Yeong fought over in video 6.

박보검 (Park Bo Gum),  "더이상 감정을 드러내시면 일이 커집니다 (No longer reveals the emotional thing grows)" 한수연 (Han Soo Yeon) 과 (and) 기싸움 (battle group).

Yeong tries not to show his concern towards Ra On even The Queen Kim slaps her. Looks like it works.

The most shocking video in ep.7!!! Ra On closes her eyes and Yeong kisses her!!!!!  This is the confession! By the way, does Yeong know Eunuch Hong is a girl?
