In this new series, Yoon Chae-bin will portray Yeonsim, a 20-something palace maid who becomes entangled in various events unfolding within the royal court. 'The Moon That Rises in the River' is a fantasy romance historical drama about a crown prince who has lost his smile and a wandering merchant whose souls switch places.

As Yeonsim, Yoon Chae-bin is expected to bring vitality to the drama with her signature bubbly energy and charming appeal. She plays a crucial role, becoming deeply involved in the body-switching process between Crown Prince Lee Kang (played by Kang Tae-oh) and the merchant Park Dal-yi (played by Kim Se-jeong), thereby heightening the drama's tension and intrigue.

This marks Yoon Chae-bin's first foray into historical dramas. She has reportedly dedicated significant effort to fully embodying the character, focusing on mastering the Joseon era's visuals, speech patterns, and nuanced facial expressions.

Yoon Chae-bin first garnered attention with her debut in the web drama 'Hanamnae'. She previously showcased her bright and energetic performance as idol hopeful Yoon Chae-rin in MBC's 'Undercover High School'. More recently, she captured public interest by starring as the female lead in the music video for Kim Na-young's remake of 'The Last Promise'.

Netizens are expressing excitement, with comments like 'I'm looking forward to Yoon Chae-bin's historical drama debut,' and 'She'll likely do a great job even though it's her first sageuk.' The casting lineup for 'The Moon That Rises in the River' is being praised as excellent.
