Actor Kang Tae-oh is captivating viewers with his stunning hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) visuals in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘The Moon That Rises in the Day’, solidifying his reputation as a 'Sageuk Master' (master of historical dramas).

Playing the role of Crown Prince Lee Kang, Kang Tae-oh is showcasing a wide spectrum of acting, from revenge and romance to soul-swapping, truly demonstrating his versatility.

The elaborate and vibrantly colored hanbok outfits worn by Kang Tae-oh further enhance the character's dignity and personality, making him stand out. From deep blue dragon robes to refreshing sky-blue ceremonial coats, each attire perfectly complements his regal appearance, drawing everyone's attention.

Beyond just pulling off the outfits, Kang Tae-oh's unique aura emanating from his hanbok fit simultaneously conveys Lee Kang's charisma and delicate emotional depth.

Kang Tae-oh had previously earned the title of 'Sageuk Master' for his role as Cha Young-moo in KBS2's ‘The Tale of Nokdu’, where he displayed a dual charm oscillating between gentle warmth and chilling charisma. In ‘The Moon That Rises in the Day’, he is delivering an even more impressive performance, hinting at the creation of another 'life character'.

‘The Moon That Rises in the Day’ is a fantasy historical romance drama about the role-reversal (yi-ji-sa-ji) soul-swapping between a prince who has lost his smile and a 부보상 (a type of traveling merchant) who has lost his memory. It airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:40 PM.

Netizens are praising Kang Tae-oh's hanbok appearances, with comments like 'He looks like a prince when he wears hanbok,' and 'Sageuk master confirmed! His visuals are insane.' Many are eagerly anticipating his next move.
