Review: Love in the Moonlight

Romance, political, comedy

Hong Ra on/ Hong Sam Nom, a woman pretends to be man. She did not know the reason why she has to pretend to be a man until her mom told her about her father. Since she was young, she has been apart from her mom for 10 years after the lantern festival. She is keen to look for her mom. She was then raised by her foster father for 10 years. Due to their poor family condition, she has been sold to become an eunuch. She tried to flee herself from the palace however, the crown prince refused to let her go.

The crown prince lost his mom since he was young. He didn't believed that his mother was dead due to illness. He believed that someone has murdered her. He could not find any proof/ evidence about his mother's death. He did not give up and keen to look for it secretly. Young Princess  was the witness regarding the whole incident happened during the day his mother being murdered. The crown prince then found the evident left by his mother to capture the prime minister Kim.

Hong Ra On first met with the prince when she pretend to be some nobleman who is expert in writing love letter on behalf of them. She pretend to be a nobleman who is in love with the princess. Her acts has been realized by the prince. She then make fun of the prince by trapping the prince in a trap. After they next meeting in the palace, the prince does not want to let her off and keep making fun of her. The prince didn't know that she was a woman.

From time to time, both of them grow feeling for each other. The prince treated Sam Nom very well and caused rumors about the prince who is gay. The prince also thought that he was in love with an eunuch. However, that's cleared all the misunderstanding when the prince noticed that Sam Nom is actually a woman. He kept her secret in order to keep her stay beside him.

After knowing that Sam Nom is the daughter of the rebel and the rebel is still alive, the king became anxious and emotional.  He acted irrationally by giving torturous punishment to the rebel. But, in the end, Sam Nom managed to clear her name by helping the prince to look for the letter left by his mother. Ever since then, she was able to wear woman cloth and no need to pretend to be a man anymore. They are then live happily ever after.

I enjoyed watching this drama. I love the song played in the drama too. The actors and actress are well played their role. I cried and at the same time had laugher while watching the drama from beginning until the end.
