I think they were close physically since CP carried her on his lap and they 'laid' in the same bed together. Thats how close they got. 

As for other intimacies, we are not privy to know the details of course. haha 

SOmehow the intimacies in this show work on the premise of less is more, hence such bombastic chemistry! 

THat can only be achieved by such good acting by our actors.

 

 

Agree chingu, From MDBC I realize that we don't need a thousand kisses from OTP to make a beautiful  scenes, we don't need million words "i love you" to prove that OTP need each other. Yeong and Raon, they deserve each other heart, they smile, stare,kiss,  hug, angry, cry because their feeling is so strong. Their love is so pure and unconditional, they even will sacrifice life for keeping that. Back to PBG and KYJ, they are the best on portraying it all 

[iheartyoojung]

Mr PD, this photo bears no resemblance to Raon at all, you should have called upon the many talented mdbc fans who would have done justice to her portrait 

How her two eunuch friends could have recognised her immediately after looking at the poster is beyond me

I wonder why they didnt agree to the extension now. It seem like they have ample material to extend 2 episodes. But nevertheless, I hope that it just means the next 2 episodes will be explosive , exciting and nerve wrecking. I really love Park Bo Gum's eyes. He expressed his longing and hope so well. 

 

I also love his eyes  ... his eyes can express something more than just words. His eyes very expressive ..... its added as important point to make his acting become more perfect. 

[angelineong]

My one and only conclusion from episode 16.

The king is an absolute USELESS THING!! I detest him the most.

If he is not that useless, premier Kim and his richard simmons bunch won't be standing a chance! Fortunately, LY takes after his mother.

And I wonder, when will the writers use the GOLDEN CARD (let the little princess talk and inform about the real murderer of the late Queen).

It is a blessing I read and followed the live recaps last night. Else, I will be crying a river like yesterday. But still cry.

All in all, this drama is an awesome piece of work. I like BY impromptu decision of holding CP as ransom. Just brilliant. I am confident BY won't hurt CP.

So which one is your favorite?  

I know, it's so hard to choose! 

All of them!!!

[Earth2KatyD]

Hey Moonlighters, kindly help me out here -- Based on the costumes that these two are wearing in the photo, this is the part where RO and LY planned to meet so they can go see Teacher Dasan together, correct? I don't recall any physical interaction between RO and LY at this point in the drama, do you? So how come.... ? Hmmmm... Alrighty then.. 

 

 

[shisuisen]

Looking at the fans and viewer of the drama divided over Ep 15 and Ep 16. Well, you cannot please everyone and everyone is entitled to their own opinions. 

YeongOn scene in Episode 16 is so poignant. And I'm so glad we get to see all the sweet moments between our couple for at least 3/4 of the drama, which is considerably a lot compared to other Kdramas, whereby the couple got separated in the middle and then become all emo and melo right until the final stretch of the drama. 

As I've always said, I have faith in the PD-nim, Director-nim and Writer-nim. 

P.S. Lucky 200 fans who get to go for the fansign~ XD Hoping Entertainment Relay crew to go over to the fansigning site to have a coverage.

Moonlight Drawn By Clouds: Episode 16

by javabeans | October 11, 2016 | 14 Comments

 

Despite my disappointment in yesterday’s episode, I was looking forward to what today would bring us, hopeful that it would do what this show does best in drawing meaning and emotion out of small, heartfelt moments and displays of interpersonal care.

We get a little bit of that, but I’m sorry to report that my hopes were not to be realized and what we have is mostly rebel political hour, which is at least a plot driver. I do wish that plot being driven were somehow more exciting or moving, but okay, at least it moved. We are not standing in the same place we were yesterday. That lining is a little silver-colored.

COMMENTS

Nooooo, Byung-yeon, don’t you go breaking my heart too! *sniff* *choke* *wails* Life is hard enough without you turning on each other!

I do follow Byung-yeon in this moment, since the show has been building up this internal conflict for a long time, showing Byung-yeon caught between his loyalties to the cause and to his friend. It hurts not only because it’s a betrayal of Yeong, but because we had seen that all series long, when pressed Byung-yeon always chose the prince—not necessarily over the cause, but he seemed to be willing to compromise in the little moments. I do respect that unflinching lack of compromise displayed by men like Hong Kyung-rae and Head Eunuch Han, because great change needs leaders to hold steady and make sacrifices along the way, but I never saw Byung-yeon as that kind of person. I saw him more as the alternate version of Dad that Ra-on and her mother longed for, the man who could believe noble thoughts but live for his family’s happiness.

So it’s a meaningful shift to have him reach that rock-and-a-hard-place moment, and finally have to choose, and I can respect that he picked the cause despite looking a little like he hated himself for it. I do wish the show had spent a little more time building up Byung-yeon’s thought process so that this final switch had a little more narrative momentum, because while I understand intellectually exactly what happened, I didn’t really know why it happened now. It would have landed with more impact if something had happened to demonstrate just why he had to divorce himself from the idea that the prince was his friend; his traitor boss reminded him of that yesterday, but I didn’t really feel why that was true. I wish the show had pitted him in direct ideological conflict with Yeong, or forced his hand a different way that explained why he made this choice in this moment. Basically, if you’re going to rip my heart out, I want you to really do it good and proper—why leave it bruised when you could leave it shredded and bleeding?

(I’m still holding out for a last-minute revelation in the next episode to show us a twist, but for now, there’s nothing to do but go with what the show has shown us. My hope is alive, but knows better than to get too confident.)

I was dearly hoping today’s episode would be the turnaround that I was dying for, but found myself disappointed again by episode’s end. It’s not that the show logic-failed on me, or had characters acting out of character, or went off the rails—nothing so dire as that. But today kind of felt like every Episode 16 of every Joseon fusiony sageuk I’ve seen in the past six or seven years, and as such felt extremely paint-by-numbers: political machinations, claims of treason, noble victims, torture, prison, tribunals and interrogations and gloaty ministers. Basically, it made this drama feel ordinary, without the magic that has made this show so special in prior weeks.

That doesn’t mean this show has suddenly become bad, and as ever, the strong directorial hand really elevates things. The moment when all goes silent as Ra-on braces for death, and the vocals start in without instrumentation—that was a spine-tingly great beat. Any moment that hinged on strong emotional acting was well-executed (even when I didn’t like what was necessarily happening plotwise). Hong Kyung-rae’s righteous defense in the torture chair was another highlight, and part of why it was so effective for me was that it was a melding of the personal and the political, which is the best kind of political. (The rest of the political maneuvering was cold and strategic, and thus less compelling.) And it was definitely encouraging that Yeong found a common ground that nobody else could see, providing hope that where swords and coups and plots fail, his brains might succeed in finding a solution.

But even so, I feel like the dip is distinct and disappointing because the she show has spoiled me by always delivering at least one really rewarding emotional exchange or development per episode. It doesn’t matter if that gratification is happy or sad, since sadness can pull the heartstrings effectively when done well, but today it started feeling like we were spinning our wheels a bit. And I involuntarily laughed out loud when Yeong and Ra-on ran into each other again, despite the epic, tearful, final goodbyes they’d already exchanged multiple times. (Speaking of comical repetition, must we have Ra-on abducted from behind in every other episode? I love this girl as a person, but I am getting mighty exasperated with her role as a character; her narrative purpose has suffered greatly as the show has progressed, and now her narrative function is almost only ever bait, trap, or object of affection. I just want her to do something active again. I would even prefer her doing something careless or dangerous to doing nothing and getting bounced around as plot device, although really, those can’t be our only choices. Resourceful, witty, sly, stealthy, helpful—any of those things are vastly preferable.)

I’m bummed that this week killed some of that extra something special in my heart, because without that bit of magic, I feel like all the little flaws suddenly seem more jarring, more noticeable. There’s a Korean saying about how being in love is like having bean chaff lodged in your eyes, i.e., blinders on to flaws, and I feel like something this week pushed me past the tipping point and shook the bean chaff away, and it’s changed the way I look at the show a bit. I’m still clinging to my hopes as we head into the final week, because we’re so close to the end and I’d rather be optimistic about it reaching a satisfying conclusion. I’m looking forward to that happy ending we’re totally getting next week, where Yeong and Ra-on live blissfully together forever and the bad guys are punished and all of the happy relationships are restored. I will accept no other realities.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with javabeans. This episode was daebak. We are slowly but surely getting the answers we need to solving the plotholes. 

 

The only thing I do agree with however is how she described Ra On. She did a lot of stubborn things that we did not agree with (examples: pointing a knife at CP, blowing her cover while disguising as a palace guard when she should have went into hiding while being "discreet"). And we miss that spunky girl from the earlier episodes. Hopefully we will see her go from being sad to happy again next week.

 

PS: our OTP ought to stop staring at each other 24/7. I demand for a passionate kiss! 

[iheartyoojung]

The King instead of raving and ranting like a mad man, he should count his blessings that his son is actually in love with a woman and not as rumored with his eunuch, he is so blinded by his own fear that he sees nothing but his own insecurity about his throne

Love is when you look into someone's eyes and see their heart. 

Small move, big meaning: How much we look into someone's eyes not only helps establish intimacy, but also reveals how much intimacy might already be there.

p/s im soooo in love with their eyes.

[iheartyoojung]

Costumes, I never thought I would fall in love with all these Joseon costumes but I thought Raon and BY looked stunning in their soldier  outfits last night and CP's wedding gear was so elaborate,  am looking forward to CP and Raon wedding outfits. There were comments that it is very hard to choose the right hanbok in short period of time for Raon which explains why she has so few ladies outfits. I would like to believe that wardrobe mistress has spent her time on the ultimate outfit and reserved the best hanbok for her wedding to CP.

[missjjang]

Guys, did you realise??? All of sudden, it come across my mind...

the bracelet...CP actually hold RN bracelet while RN for sure hold CP bracelet (she will pick it up since she love him)... 

They will be together in the end...lets pray for it...
