Love in the Moonlight's Hanbok fan meeting

In September, the cast of Love in the Moonlight made a pledge to hold a fan meeting dressing in Hanbok when viewer ratings exceed 20%. They kept their promise and held the event On October 19, 2016 (Wednesday) in Gyeongbok Palace.

According to K-WAVE NEWS, thousands of people were there but only 200 lucky fans were allowed to receive autographs from Kim You Jung, Park Bo Gum, Jin Young and Kwak Dong Yeon. Where's Chae Soo Bin?

Within all the YouTube videos about this event I watched up-to-now, I'd like to share the one I like the most with you.  Why I like it the most?  Because of this shot of Kim You Jung.

Oh, Kim You Jung is sooooo cute!! Sorry I'm a big fan of her. So, even I don't understand a single word of what the reporter said, this is the best video for the fan meeting up-to-now.

"박보검 보러 가자" 5천여 명 북새통...경찰·경호원까지 출동 / YTN (Yes! Top News)
https://youtu.be/vMym5mgW890

By using Google Translate, this title's meaning is

"박보검 (Park Bo Gum) 보러 (see) 가자 (let's go)" 5천여 (5,000) 명 (people) 북새통 (crowded) ... 경찰·경호원까지 출동 (Police· bodyguard were dispatched)

5,000 people? Within these 5,000 people, what exactly did the 200 lucky contest winner get? I saw it from a Vstar video. Autograph on a printed card with photos of the main characters.

From the Vstar's YouTube video, I also notice a very cool female bodyguard. Well, I don't understand Korean and there isn't any subtitles for me to read, so, I focus on different things, I guess.

Is it because of Kim You Jung they need a female bodyguard? Or this is just a usual practice to have both male and female bodyguards for events in Korea?

Here is the Vstar video.

Every time when Kim Yun Seong (Jin Young) sees Hong Ra On (Kim You Jung), he lights up.

But before Yun Seong's unfortunate discovery, there is a flashback of Ra On and the Crown Prince Lee Yeong (Park Bo Gum). A flashback of their sweet memory about the moon.

[Best Scene] KimYoujung, reminisce about the past

(Love in the Moonlight Ep.14)

https://youtu.be/a1pIGGeWI-M

Yun Seong:

You may cry. I'll not hope nor delude myself.

Seeing Ra On crying and feeling her pain, or feeling his own pain of being rejected by Ra On, looks like Yun Seong wants to cry too.

He tries to comfort Ra On by reaching his hand to her

 

he hesitates,

retreats his hand

and puts his hand on his lap.

Then, there is a long shot of them.

I know it's hopeless to wish for Ra On and Yun Seong to be lovers from the beginning. Why my heart hurts when, finally, we will never have Hong Ra On x Kim Yun Seong couple?

The scriptwriter gives us some hints of the closeness between Ra On and Yun Seong throughout the whole drama, including how he calls her. Yeong calls her "Ra On~ah ♥" when he knows her real name but Yun Seong keeps on calling her "Hong Nae Gwan" (홍내관 / 洪内官) a.k.a Eunuch Hong.

[Best Scene] Hopeless love between KimYoujung and JinYoung

(Love in the Moonlight Ep.14)

If this is just any Korean drama...

Ra On cries on Yun Seong's shoulder and Yun Seong hugs her. At that moment, from far away, Yeong appears and witnesses them hugging. He misunderstands the situation and thinks Ra On betrayed him. With a broken heart, Yeong decides to go overseas...

Well, this is a fusion period drama and Yeong loves Ra On dearly. He cries while missing her.

[Best Scene] The Prince truly misses KimYoujung

4 more episodes left. When will Ra On and Yeong get back together? In episode 18?

More best scene videos! Here are 3 best scene videos of Love in the Moonlight Ep.13 on KBS World's YouTube page!!!

I know it's impossible but I still want Ra On to be with Kim Yun Seong (Jin Young). Will she smile like this if Yun Seong touches her face with his hand? Look how happy Hong Ra On (Kim You Jung) is when she is with the Crown Prince Lee Yeong (Park Bo Gum).

Unfortunately, Ra On's father is rebel leader Hong Gyeong Nae. Now, she understands why her mother made her dress as a boy. She also understands why they had to run and hide constantly.

Will Ra On falls for Yeong if she knew she is Hong Gyeong Nae's daughter sooner?

[Best Scene] KimYoujung finally found out who her father is

(Love in the Moonlight Ep.13)

https://youtu.be/_GkPDzxptVw

Ra On:

He's waiting. He doesn't know anything.

Ra On's mother wants her to stay but she decides to go back to Yeong. She wants to be with him for the last time.  So she requests to do all the work for Yeong and to be with him as much as possible.

Many cute and sweet moments in this video. We all know Ra On is planning to leave the Palace except Yeong. Watching them being happy here only make me feel sadder.

[Best Scene] "I will do anything for you"

(Love in the Moonlight Ep.13)

https://youtu.be/qnBujHbbsSQ

Ra On:

Your Highness, would you not regret that you met me  even after you find out that I'm the traitor's daughter?

We listened to the same monologue in the Episode 13's preview.  Here we watch Ra On kisses Yeong hopefully not for the last time.

[Best Scene] Last time with ParkBogum, before KimYoujung runs away

(Love in the Moonlight Ep.13)

https://youtu.be/P1GAmFCIw0A

5 more episodes until we find out if Ra On and Yeong live happily ever after.
