Kang Tae-oh & Kim Se-jeong's 'Newlywed Bliss' Revealed Amidst Heartbreaking Romance in 'The Moon Rising Over the Water'

MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Moon Rising Over the Water' has unveiled heartwarming stills of the Crown Prince couple, Kang Tae-oh (as Lee Kang) and Kim Se-jeong (as Kang Yeon-wol), capturing viewers' attention.

The drama tells the story of Lee Kang, who was consumed by grief after losing his mother and beloved Princess Consort due to the schemes of State Councilor Kim Han-cheol. His long-held longing and affection explode when he encounters Bak Dal-i, a peddler with an identical appearance to his lost princess. However, Bak Dal-i is revealed to be the amnesiac Crown Princess Kang Yeon-wol. While they develop subtle feelings for each other, unaware of their past connection, they are suddenly shocked by a body-swapping incident.

The newly released photos depict the blissful and joyous moments of Crown Prince Lee Kang and Kang Yeon-wol before tragedy struck. Their gazes filled with affection and their pure smiles highlight their deep love, contrasting sharply with the poignant image of Lee Kang looking forlornly at Kang Yeon-wol's grave.

Questions linger about what befell the royal couple, and whether they can overcome these hardships to find happiness and their memories again. The epic tale of their destined romance continues in 'The Moon Rising Over the Water,' airing tomorrow, the 21st, at 9:40 PM on MBC.

Netizens are commenting, 'Seeing them happy makes the current sadness even more profound,' 'I'm so curious about how it will end,' and 'Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong have such great chemistry.' The reactions highlight the anticipation for the drama's unfolding plot.
