Kang Tae-oh and Lee Shin-young to Showcase Royal Sibling Chemistry in 'The Moon Rising Over the Day'

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'The Moon Rising Over the Day' is set to premiere on the 31st, building anticipation for the special royal sibling dynamic that Kang Tae-oh and Lee Shin-young will portray.

The drama hints at a fierce power struggle within the royal court, raising curiosity about the unpredictable paths of two princes. We've taken a closer look at the charms of the two princes, Crown Prince Lee Kang (played by Kang Tae-oh) and Prince Je-un (played by Lee Shin-young), who appear similar yet possess vastly different hidden pains.

First, Crown Prince Lee Kang is the epitome of splendor and the royal court's ultimate fashionista. He's genuinely dedicated to his appearance, even having a personal wardrobe and meticulously choosing the personal colors for his royal robes. His prickly and defiant personality further solidifies him as a 'style-over-substance' character, possessing a fatal charisma that's unforgettable after just one glance. However, beneath his seemingly self-absorbed exterior, Lee Kang hides deep wounds and a burning desire for revenge. Having lost his beloved consort and taking over the regency in place of his father, he seeks to uncover the conspiracies surrounding himself and the royal family and restore everything. The poignant loyalty of Lee Kang, who pursues the truth while wearing the mask of a wastrel and mourning his deceased consort, is expected to intrigue viewers.

Meanwhile, Lee Kang's cousin, Prince Je-un, lives a leisurely life indulging in the arts. He pursues a free life over royal etiquette, even freely playing music with courtesans. His unhurried pace, devoid of any ambition for power, offers a unique sense of tranquility.

Though outwardly appearing as a pleasure-seeking idler like Lee Kang, Prince Je-un also harbors unspoken sorrows. Originally the king's eldest son, he was deposed and lived under constant suspicion within the harsh royal family. Therefore, Lee Shin-young's portrayal of Prince Je-un's melancholic gaze, hidden behind his composure after enduring lonely times, is expected to stir the hearts of viewers.

These contrasting charms of the extraordinary princes, Lee Kang and Lee Yun, are amplifying expectations for the premiere of 'The Moon Rising Over the Day'. Attention is focused on the story that Prince Lee Kang, driven by revenge, and Prince Lee Yun, burdened by loneliness, will weave amidst the perilous vortex of fate.

'The Moon Rising Over the Day' will premiere on Friday, the 31st, at 9:50 PM.

Netizens are expressing fervent anticipation for the contrasting charms and hidden stories of Lee Kang and Lee Yun. Comments include, "Looking forward to Kang Tae-oh's charismatic prince with a soft heart!", "Lee Shin-young as a melancholic prince, already feels sad", and "Curious about the bromance between the two!"
