Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong's Flipped Fates: First Glimpse of 'The Lover of the Moon'

MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama 'The Lover of the Moon' (working title, also known as 'The Moon on the River') has heightened anticipation with the release of a highlight video showcasing the dramatic soul-swap between its lead characters, Crown Prince Lee Kang (played by Kang Tae-oh) and Park Dal-yi (played by Kim Se-jeong).

The released footage opens with a depiction of Crown Prince Lee Kang, tormented by the loss of a beloved concubine and harboring dreams of revenge. His path then crosses with Park Dal-yi, a spirited peddler who bears a striking resemblance to the deposed concubine, signaling the dawn of an unexpected connection.

The dynamic between Lee Kang and Dal-yi, who bicker yet share a subtle, intriguing chemistry despite their vastly different social standings, promises to captivate viewers. However, a chilling warning from Left State Councilor Kim Han-cheol (played by Jin Goo) injects a dose of tension, hinting at the precarious fate of the royal court.

The narrative takes a thrilling turn as Lee Kang and Dal-yi inexplicably switch bodies. The ensuing 'chaotic cooperation' between a Crown Prince turned peddler and a peddler turned Crown Prince is set to be a highlight. A poignant moment arises when Lee Kang, inhabiting Dal-yi's body, tells her, "Look closely. How beautiful you are, how precious you are," hinting at a budding, tender romance.

'The Lover of the Moon' is scheduled to premiere on Friday, November 7th, at 9:50 PM KST.

Netizens are buzzing with excitement over the 'enemies-to-lovers' trope and the chemistry between Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong. Comments include, "Can't wait to see their interactions!", "Looks like a perfect blend of comedy and romance," and "Definitely tuning in for the premiere."
