KBS 2TV's "Moonlight Drawn By Clouds" has come under fire for failing to be more discreet. Viewers of the on-going historical series have sent in complaints to the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) regarding Kim Yoo-Jung's revealing scene.
On Sept. 7, Thursday, a representative from KCSC told local news outlet OSEN, as cited by Soompi, that the 18-episode drama is undergoing a review after many complaints were filed. The scene in question features Hong Ra-On (Kim) wrapping her chest with gauzes in order to disguise herself as a boy.
The particular scene ran into trouble with the KCSC considering that Kim is still a minor. Though the KCSC understands the scene within the context of the show's plot development, it seemed that it went on-air longer than necessary.
The representative stressed that the scene is currently under review. Helmed by Kim Sung-Yoon and Baek Sang-Hoon, "Moonlight Drawn By Clouds" follows the unlikely relationship between the Crown Prince Lee Yeong (Park Bo-Gum) and his 18-year-old eunuch, Hong Ra-On.
The drama, which premiered on Aug. 22, secured its number one spot in Monday-Tuesday ratings battle. "Moonlight Drawn By Clouds" episode 6, which aired on Sept. 6, Tuesday, recorded a 17.9 percent nationwide ratings.
"If your viewership rating exceeds 30 percent, how about you guys appear on a guerrilla date together after the drama is over?" host Kim Tae Jin of KBS 2TV's "Entertainment Weekly" suggest. "You can go to an amusement park and play to your heart's content."
In response, Park and Kim give their go signal, with the latter remarking that it will surely be fun. It can be recalled that the "Reply 1988" actor had previously promised to hold a fan sign event , while wearing a Korean traditional clothing, called Hanbok, if the show's ratings surpassed 20 percent, Australia Networks News reported.
