C-drama--This movie is a handsome prince and a girl disguised as his eunuch--
However, I think the discovery is too sudden and the movie should have started much earlier--
and then the transition is too swift also.
It should be maybe like Yentl or Love? in the Military Academy.
Also, eunuchs smell because they no longer have the organ to urinate with and at least in the movies, they develop a servile way of talking and walking.
That's my opinion as a writer--either the pain or the pleasure, the conflicts, should be drawn out and there should be many setbacks and the story or plot should alternate between hope and despair.
She shouldn't suddenly start wearing woman's clothes and become a woman.

You may believe it or not, but I have worked alongside many difft people--
recovering mental health patients,gays,lesbians,bisexual people--
Some of them are out-patients--most of them are not dangerous, and I only saw them a few hours at a time, sometimes at part-time jobs.
Writers, actors and directors should study human behavior before they write something or attempt a play or movie.
Very few people can produce a masterpiece in one go--but some are "born writers" or "born artists" with very keen perception--but they may not write very much for some reason or the other--
For instance one woman told me her grandfather lied to her when she was a child, and told her the guava was not yet ripe--
she also told me she suspected her friend in London? was having an affair bc she was away from her husband who was in Burma.
This woman was very judgemental--in fact, my sister and my mother and some women friends are like that.
Westerners on the whole are less so,but they get jealous too.
Or they tell me what they saw or did in the 1960s when I was still in Burma--
One woman shocked me by saying she could not remember the number of men she had slept with.
I've been invited to teas and Thanksgiving, where the ex-husband or the current partner sat at the head of the table.
Maybe it's a cultural thing.
Anyway, I just take mental notes.
John Gardner or maybe someone else--suggested eaves-dropping.
Which reminds me--of a free movie I went to see at the Univ Museum at Penn.
I and an elderly couple sitting in the back were the only ones in the dark theater when I arrived.
The man was somewhat deaf so he spoke too loud.
I didn't hear her voice at all--she was maybe crying.
The man was saying, "I don't understand what the problem is, I come in Friday evening, we have dinner together--then breakfast on Saturday--"
Shortly after my female friend from Egypyt arrived and the movie started.
It was Franco Zefferelli's Don Giovani.
Egyptian did not like it at all.
I should have stayed on,but we left.
All I remember was Don Juan unfurling a long script or scroll of his sexual conqests.
There's another story or two witnessed in cafes on Dupont Circle. One the man in the blue shirt.
My ecos. mentor Dr.Findlay and Mrs. Findlay once said,"In future we'd better be careful what we say in front of KM. She's a writer."
