MBC's 'Love in the Moonlight' Unveils Unique Vocabulary: 'Gon-kku', 'Hong-yeon', 'Messenger'

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Love in the Moonlight' (Working Title) is heightening anticipation for its premiere on November 7th by revealing unique terminology that will enrich the viewing experience.

'Love in the Moonlight' tells the story of Crown Prince Lee Kang (Kang Tae-oh), who has lost his smile, and Park Dal-yi (Kim Se-jeong), a peddler who has lost her memory, as their souls mysteriously switch places. This 'easy-to-put-yourself-in-someone-else's-shoes' romance fantasy historical drama is expected to offer fresh entertainment as the two navigate royal life after their bodies are swapped.

Notably, the drama introduces novel terms that build its unique world. Firstly, Crown Prince Lee Kang, embodying the 'style over substance' mantra, dedicates himself to 'Gon-kku' (Decorating the Royal Robe), meticulously choosing colors that best suit him. His fashion sense shines through his personal rule of 'personal coloring,' ensuring his royal attire perfectly complements his complexion.

Secondly, 'Hong-yeon,' representing the red thread of fate, promises to add a mystical layer to the romance between the two protagonists. 'Hong-yeon' is a mystical concept that suggests people destined for each other will inevitably meet, regardless of hardships, amplifying the intrigue surrounding the unlikely encounter between Lee Kang and Park Dal-yi, who come from completely different backgrounds.

Thirdly, the 'Messenger' (每迅觝), a swift communication network for peddlers traveling across the provinces, is set to inject dynamism into the narrative. This peddler network enables rapid information exchange across the country, raising questions about how it will escalate the drama's tension.

'Love in the Moonlight' premieres on Friday, November 7th, at 9:50 PM.

Netizens have reacted enthusiastically to the newly revealed terms, commenting things like, "These new terms are so novel! I can't wait to watch the drama," "Looking forward to Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong's chemistry. 'Love in the Moonlight' seems to have a unique charm!", and "The terms 'Gon-kku,' 'Hong-yeon,' and 'Messenger' themselves are fascinating. I'm curious about the story!".
