Yewon Transforms into a Scene-Stealing Court Lady in 'The Moon That Rises in the River'

Actress Yewon is set to make her mark as a captivating court lady in MBC's upcoming Friday-Saturday drama, 'The Moon That Rises in the River'.

Yewon has been cast as 'Migeum', a character described as a 'royal spoon' (a combination of court lady and gold spoon), being the niece of the highest-ranking court lady, the Chief State Lady. Migeum is poised to play a crucial role in the unfolding events within the palace, adding significant depth to the narrative.

Since her acting debut in the sitcom 'Standby' in 2012, Yewon has steadily built a diverse filmography, showcasing her versatility across various genres in dramas like 'Miss Korea', 'Hotel King', 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim', and 'Wedding Impossible'. Her recent transformation in the Netflix series 'Suriname' also garnered considerable attention.

This marks Yewon's first foray into historical dramas in her 14-year career. Viewers are keenly anticipating how she will leverage her established acting prowess to portray a historical character, a new challenge she's embracing with 'The Moon That Rises in the River'.

'The Moon That Rises in the River', which promises a fantasy romance between a crown prince who has lost his smile and a… who has lost his memory, airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:40 PM KST.

Netizens are expressing excitement, with comments like 'So looking forward to Yewon's first historical drama!', 'Curious to see what kind of court lady she'll be', and 'Trustworthy scene-stealer Yewon!'. The anticipation for her historical acting debut is palpable.
