Love in the moonlight is a beautiful period drama with some amazing acting. For how young the 4 main leads were at the time of shooting (2016), i cannot do anything but to applaud every single one of them for a brilliant job. Park Bo gum carried himself like a proper royalty, he possesed grace, manners but also compassion. Kim Yoo jung was very cute and funny, very very young though. But lets just spare a moment to talk about Kwag Dong jeong's killer cheekbones, combat skills and ability to defy gravity!! I really enjoyed his character! As to the plot, well, i must admit it was a little long winded and i had to fast forward a few times as it was getting a little boring at places. I wanted to mention the belgian malinois that couldnt possibly be there at that time, but then again, there was a guy jumping 15meters high and slashing people off with a samurai sword without a single drop of blood, so probably not so much of an issue.. :) Also worth mentioning is the absolutely stunning attire. All and all, very well done to 4 young actors for putting an excellent show.

Bo-gum is honestly the best actor I've ever seen.... his facial expressions and all the emotions he shows.. I've never seen them in anyone else's face <3 This drama is simply one of my favorites and I don't have many favs so.. :)

I just love this. I first of all watched Hwarang and fell in love with South Korean historical dramas. Then I watched The King's Affection and now this. I have to say these shows are fantastic. I feel that is shows me what we have lost in the West. The romance between the main characters, the gorgeous music - to me, it's like watching a piece of art come to life. Fantastic. I love how the men are strong, yet so respectful of their women. This has truly shown me how the society in the West has changed for the worst. Everything now is about sex, no romance. The directors should take a look at these shows to realise where they went wrong.

The acting in this is brilliant, can't fault it. And yes, I will be shouting from the rooftops for all my friends and family to watch it.

It starts as a nice romantic story. For the first few episodes, it's quite entertaining but not something particularly exceptional. But then, as the story evolves, it turns out to be a very powerful, full of suspense, amazing drama!!!! You just cannot stop watching it!!!!

The two lead actors were fantastic in their performance! The same were the supporting actors and especially the two men, the prince's friends. Park Bo Gum was so charming and had that commendable ability to change various face emotional expressions in just seconds! I was so amazed by his acting!

It's an awesome kdrama! I loved it!!!!

What else can I say? I hardly ate, peed, or slept during two days, watching this non stop, as I kept telling myself "just ten more minutes". Park Bo Gum is definitely one reason. I indeed think of him as one of the best actors I've seen; I found myself comparing him to Gong Yoo (Coffee Prince, such a coïncidence )! He is attractive and manly. And who can resist his smile when he raises his brows, like a puppy? <3 Don't you want to just hug him?

Also, I loved the whole cast. There were a lot of actors I'm used to now and hold dear. The female lead was beautiful and Chae Soo Bin stayed in my heart after "I am not a robot".

The story was a bit deja vu, but it was funny and moving and skillfully twisted, to the very end.

Yeah, I agree the Prince could have shed a tear for his friend (which one?) who died to save Ra-on (I won't tell which one...). Mister Director, did you accidentally cut that scene?

Brilliant Joseon era costume drama! Wonderful world building: stories in this Dynasty are by far the best! The humorous flair coupled the entertaining romance, made one extraordinary series! Wonderfully captivating actors Kim Yoo Jung and Park Bo Gum had a really cute chemistry together, which really made the drama absolutely fabulous! Loved it!

The start of this show was really good. Interesting. Captivating. However with the progression of ploy, things started to become dull. Characters become dull, by the 11 episode, i was just dragging myself to complete it so that I know the ending, even ending wasn't satisfying... However the male lead's acting was quite good. He is probably the only reason I managed to finish this.

Heart touching very beautiful love story.....................................................

Korean historical romantic dramas draw you in to an ahistorical world, relying on the power of the acting, compelling relationships between the protagonists and a propulsive plot to carry you along for the ride.

This series failed to do that for me. The romance was too anodyne and the plot meandered through the second half.

It is still moderately interesting entertainment if you rise above its shortcomings. But there are so many wildly entertaining examples of the genre that this pales by comparison.

Brilliant another really good series!

This one has some really funny parts. The storyline was great so much going on it will really keeps you entertained.

This is the second series I have watched with Kim Yoo Jung and I think she has grown so much as an actress.

Overall this is a good series to watch, yes there is some slow bits but it really does not take away from the storyline. All the actors play their part well to bring this series to life.

This drama is so perfect and park bo gum and kim yoo jung played very well in this series.

I can even watch this series for a second time And it is new to me every time.

I really suggest you see this kdrama.

And I like they make season 2 of this series.

I think is the best series to park bo gum played in that.

And next of moonlovers, this series is my favorite kdrama in historical genre:) genres of this series were : historical - comedy-romantic,... if you like these genres.

Be sure to watch this series :)

THIS SERIES WAS CREATED, DIRECTED & PRODUCED WITH PERFECTION!!! THIS IS A FILM SERIES ONE CAN WATCH OVER & OVER & NEVER GET TIRED OF IT. THE LEAD ACTORS HAVE GREAT ONSET CHEMISTRY FOR THE STORYINE - CASTING DIRECTOR DID A GREAT JOB!!! THE LEAD ACTORS WERE FANTASTIC IN THEIR SKILLS & TALENTS AS ACTORS - SUBTLE USE OF THEIR EYES & MOUTH NOT OVERLY DONE TO BRING THE VIEWER CLOSER IN TO ENJOYING THE SERIES & MADE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE WATCHING. IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO MAKE TV & FILMS - EACH PERSON IN THE SERIES & THOSE BEHIND THE SERIES REALLY DID A GREAT JOB! HOPE TO SEE MORE LIKE THIS SERIES. THANKS.

One of the earliest Kdramas I fell into during the Pandemic lockdown and I was totally hooked on historical Kdramas for life

A historical drama with the focus on the crown prince and a young female hustler disguised as a boy who eventually enters the palace as a Eunuch and the friendship between the two. One of the early "girl disguised as a boy" historical rom coms (now there are way too many!)

Park Bo-gum, and Kim Yoo-jung are both astonishingly brilliant actors in lead roles of this series. Bringing comedy, friendship and romance together slowly yet convincingly. Bravo to both these young actors!

The Prince Lee Yeong is spoilt and tempestuous, yet with an underlying sense of right and wrong coupled with compassion, and Hong Ra-on, cute, comedic, naughty yet devoted and caring.

Have watched this series several times and never got bored because the actors are so convincing.

Highly recommend.

I appreciated the storyline of the drama but I can't deny I felt bored at some moments because it was long. I was more focused during the first and last episodes. I really liked the 19th episode though, with the behind the scenes of the drama.

Could have been very good, IF the story wasn't dragged out of which makes it slightly dull.

Hong Ra-On played brilliantly by Kim Yoo-jeong pretends to be a male to earn a living giving advice to lovelorn men on how to find a partner and other jobs but still because of debt ends up being sold as a eunuch. In the palace the Crown Prince Lee Yeong played by Park Bo-gum meets her and through events finds himself becoming attracted to her not realising she is female. It is an entertaining series as the two actors struggle against various factions in the palace who are trying to stop him from ascending to the throne. It has a good supporting cast and the story based on a webtoon moves along at a good pace and holds your attention.

Hi, I am an Australian fan who has watched this show so many times but still find it funny, sad and exhilarating. I just cannot get enough of Korean films. Keep it going, you rock compared to western tv shows.

I hope there are more like this show to come, even a sequel would be amazing.

Anyway the Crown Prince and his bodyguard are so delectable. OMG.

Oh god what else can I say, thank god for Netflix otherwise I would never experience this genre, talent and good looking actors.

Anyway Australian viewers love you and look forward to more of the same. I am much older than your your normal audience, but that doesn't matter.

Sorry but cannot help it. LOL.

Park Bo-Gum's smile should be packaged and sold as an instant mood lifter because that man has the sexiest lips and teeth. I wonder how K-drama actresses feel when they see that their male counterparts are actually prettier than they are. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of the female disguised-as-male storyline since it's always obvious the woman couldn't possibly be a man; despite this shortcoming, the series (Love in the Moonlight) was actually really good.

(Synopsis: Hong Ra-On disguises herself as a man and counsels men on dating. Due to a love letter she wrote for a client, she meets Crown Prince Hyomyeong (Park Bo-Gum). Hong Ra-On is unaware that he is the Crown Prince and Hyomyeong is unaware that Hong Ra-On is a woman. The Crown Prince becomes interested in Hong Ra-On. His eunuchs become aware of this and attempt to get Hong Ra-On to become one of them.)
