Video Preview for Episode 5 of MoonSun

I’m a little too seasoned to suffer a bout of tears and snot over the smallest sad plot development in a drama, but watching Yeo Jin Gu cry in the preview for episode 5 of The Moon that Embraces the Sun got me right there in the gut. He’s truly a phenomenal child actor, and the same is true for every one of those precocious and precious young ones bringing the MoonSun story to life. Of course there is going to be pain, but hopefully the angst will feel real and raw, setting the stage for the adults to take the story if a whole new level of awesome after the children take the bow. Whatever happens to Yeon Woo, we know that some shaman magic plus political backstabbing are at play. It’s hard for mere mortals to contend with that.

Thanks much for this video preview. I totally agree with you Captain. I just finished watching the early episodes of Giant. Yeo Jin Gu’s awesome performance in those episodes blew me away. I look forward to your recap for this episode. Thanks in advance! 🙂

  He was my favorite child actor in Giant. I liked him wayyy more than the adult who played his character.

My heart is ripping. I was crying by episode two because I knew what was coming. And the teenage actors, what big shoes they have left for the adult actors to fill. It’s making me sad to let them go. But we must, other wise we will never see Kim Soohyun and Jung Ilwoo. ;D And Lee Hwon’s tears, gah!!!! I’m more hurt for Yang Myung! I heard that the book is different, that Wol/Yeonwoo doesn’t have amnesia. Let’s just hope the drama doesn’t focus 10 episodes on memory loss. Gosh, the angst!

Yeo Jin Gu just made me want to cry after seeing that… just too horribly devastating. I rarely cry while watching dramas – only a few have really hit the heart – usually ones that involve mommy’s & their children. Coming into this – I had zero expectation that I would be that moved by any of the kids performances. Kudos to all of them!

Hmm… I don’t know much about the details except what I’ve read here and there, but all I know is that I am an anti-fan of any kind of memory loss plot line in any kind of drama – regardless of the reason. As for the fantasy elements – I turned off the mind of the crazy fantasy antics in SG last year, so hopefully, the fantasy elements will be better here. Ultimately, I don’t think I will care all that much as long as I’m satisfied with the ending.

Am I the only one who think that the way these children act is a little unbelievable -especially at 0:15 ? I mean they are what twelve? Fifteen? And they act like some grown-up people who already experienced life, the depth of love or whatever. Maybe they were too precocious before…

Do you think she’ll get back her memory before the end of the drama? And do you think she’ll end up will Hwon? Please Drama Gods, have a happy ending :)! Thank you Ms. Koala for all this MOONSUN stuff, it helps feed our addiction. Can’t wait for the recap tomorrow:)!

I have a feeling they have already extended the series with few episodes. That’s why the preview isn’t matching the actual episode (e.g. no coffin scene yet). I’m pretty sure we will see the adult actors at the end of episode 6 (like last 5 minutes) than the middle of the episodes. Whatever the company decides I hope it will not ruin the sizzling fun/angst of the series. IMO it’s better to prepare for the extension early than late so we can avoid those annoying fillers.

  Just finished watching episode 6. I’m so glad I was proven wrong. The episode wasn’t slow, although I still believe the series will be extended but so far it seems like it will not be slowed down.
