Historical dramas have long been a favorite of many. Without a doubt, we have fallen head over heels seeing our favorite actors wearing their regal costumes, and seeing our favorites actress as a royalty makes us want to become one.
If you miss watching a historical type of dramas, then this upcoming "River Where the Moon Rises" will make your heart flutter.
A royalty marrying a commoner has been a common plot in historical dramas. This gives us hope just like Hollywood actress Megan Markle marrying Prince Harry, which actually happened in real life. Anything is just possible.
The drama will circle an ambitious Princess Pyeonggang or also known as Yeom Ga Jin, which will be played by Kim So Hyun. She has big dreams of becoming the first woman ever to run Goguryeo. She is very determined and empowered to become the first female ruler.
The princess will do anything to fulfill her dream, but along came this commoner, On Dal. On Dal is an illiterate commoner. He has lived his whole life living in a secluded hut in the woods together with his mother and is very much fascinated about the world beyond the woods.
With little knowledge about the outside world, Princess Pyeonggang teaches him martial arts and how to write and read. Their one of a kind love story will surely be anticipated by a lot who are fans of historical drama.
Note that this drama is not your typical Joseon Dynasty setup. Rather, it is a very uncommon Goguryeo period. And if you are not very familiar with the period, then this upcoming drama will give you an idea as to what was happening during this period.
Kim So Hyun has already confirmed to star in this drama. However, On Dal, who will soon be the husband of Princess Pyeonggang is still unofficial. Jisoo, on the other hand, is still in talks with a great possibility that he may take the role according to the exclusive news report of Sports Dong-a on October 13. Jisoo is currently reviewing the role positively, and many hope he will take the role.
Jisoo has appeared in several smaller roles on television. Still, his role in the television drama "Angry Mom" was one of his notable breakout roles, which he, later on, proved to viewers that he was a good actor when he appeared in "Sassy Go Go." If Jisoo accepts the role, this will be another historical drama for him before appearing in "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo" as the 14th Prince.
Moreover, Kim So Hyun playing the main role, is highly anticipated by viewers. Many are happy that she will be taking this role as she is considered one of the great actresses in her generation. Her achievements include being coined as the "Nation's Little Sister." This Australian born has her heart set to become an actress. She started as a child actress and has gained media attention for her exquisite performance as the abominable young queen-to-be in Moon Embracing the Sun.
If you love martial arts, you will probably enjoy watching Kim So Hyun fight to achieve her dream.
Additionally, Son Ye Jin was previously in talks for the leading role but probably was not cast because she was not young enough to take the princess's role.
