Hong Su-ju is set to captivate audiences with her portrayal of a character harboring a chilling ambition behind her dazzling beauty.

In the upcoming MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'The Moon Rising Over the River,' premiering on the 31st, Hong Su-ju will play Kim Woo-hee, the sole daughter of a powerful Left State Councilor, showcasing a unique presence.

Kim Woo-hee is depicted as a woman born into privilege as the only child of the absolute power holder, the Left State Councilor. Renowned for her beauty, wisdom, and intelligence, she embodies the dignity befitting her family's reputation. However, unlike other women of noble families destined to be tools for their clans, Kim Woo-hee desires to ascend to the highest echelons of society for her own sake, not for the glory of her lineage.

The recently released stills capture Hong Su-ju's elegant demeanor, drawing attention. While appearing refined and gentle, her piercing gaze hints at an unshakeable spirit and an unwavering determination, fueling anticipation for her relentless pursuit of goals.

Hong Su-ju, who has impressed in previous roles with her versatile performances, is expected to bring Kim Woo-hee to life with her powerful acting. 'The Moon Rising Over the River' is scheduled to air its first episode on MBC at 9:50 PM on the 31st.

Netizens are expressing excitement for Hong Su-ju's role, commenting, 'Looking forward to Hong Su-ju's acting,' 'What charm will she show this time?', and 'Visuals are perfect for a historical drama.'
