Okay, the two cuties are just wayyyyy too cute, I think I may be able to watch this drama regardless of whether it’s written or directed well. The combo of Kim So Hyun‘s cool perfection and Ji Soo‘s hotheaded earnestness for upcoming sageuk River Where the Moon Rises feels like the ideal opposites attract in both their personas off screen and their onscreen characterization. The first teaser and filming stills were released last week before the new year so it’s a bit backwards to get the script reading stills but better late than never. I also love the bits I see of second male lead Lee Ji Hoon, he’s so compelling as the grey and not totally nice dude who is still seeking acceptance, lol clearly he’s been pigeonholed in prior dramas but delivers with aplomb and from his description here seems on the same track so gimme moar! The second teaser is also out and this looks like such a throwback to action packed sageuks like Jumong and Queen Seondeok.
Second teaser for River Where the Moon Rises:
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Gotta be the first to comment. Kim So Hyun in that princess outfit with dangling earrings looks so gorgeous. Man, that side profile is overflowing with visuals. This second teaser is so much better than the first one. RWTMR Fighting ❤️
Agree.She looks so regal in that photo. It resembles her Goblin's character.
@Yepeu Oh absolutely, she has one of the best side profiles among K-actresses, right up there with Kim Tae Hee and Han Ga In IMO. Would love to have her nose! lol
Wow, koala nim you’re fast!
VC just posted this. Haha
This teaser is really getting me excited and wish that January run faster so we can witness pyeonggang bad-assery! Lol
And wow just few seconds scene with LJH is enough for me to look forward to all their scenes. The chemistry!!!!
So Hyun is indeed Chemistry Queen. That is why there are a lot of SLS in her dramas. LOL.
OMG. After a quiet 2020,So Hyun is back in 2021 to slay my screen again. Girl never disappoint in her roles. She is truly one of the best actresses and top beauty of her generation.
Hoping she announces her new agency soon because I saw that she uploaded these jaw-dropping profiles in IG yesterday.
I saw that yesterday too. We were fed with SoHyun's Godessness. Those B&W profiles of her is just WOW ❤️
Yes. The one that I love about So Hyun is her mature aura,which I cannot find in any of her peers. I guess that is the reason why she can play any roles easily and naturally.
Her Goddess beauty nobody can compare.
She and Yoo Jung consistently book starrer roles, which shows that the industry is hyping them up as the next big hallyu stars. Sooner, we will see them starring in some of the mega writers'works.
Upon seeing the second teaser, my pessimistic thoughts have been wiped for a while. NGL, but the second teaser deeply impressed me! First time seeing KSH in heavy action scenes and she literally just blew me up. I think it has a really great chance of becoming a hit and I think with this drama, Kim So Hyun will receive a lot of big projects. If famous writers and directors see her performance and the challenging character she took, bigger opportunities will come at her. I feel like she even got the potential to be the face of historical dramas. If C-drama land has Zhao Li Ying then K-drama land has Kim So Hyun!
This has to be her most challenging role to date since school 2015 when she played two different characters. I love growth! I love when actors and actresses try new things that are way way out of their comfort zone. I absolutely don’t see any similarities in any of the three historical dramas that she is the lead in.
Totally yes! And for a 21 year old playing such kind of roles is just wow- young yet versatile and flexible. In Queen Seondeok, the female lead is in her late 20s already when she took on her big role. So I am really in awe with how wise KSH chooses her project.
Stan the most versatile queen!
Out of the Kim trio, So Hyun is the one who chooses her projects well. She can play anything. If her new agency will extensively promote her and help her secure big projects from big PDs and writers, she will be the Park Shin Hye or more of her generation.
I’m absolutely floored by how beautiful she is at the meeting and in the teaser. Her curly hair is everything! I don’t remember the last time I watched a female-centric, action-packed Korean drama, maybe just Mystic Pop-up Bar. But it’s so rare and few in between. Next month can’t come by fast enough! Warrior Princess by day, female assassin by night! Wow, I’m so looking forward to this even if I’m wary of the writer :)
TBH I didn't recognize her at first in that script reading. She looks different, mature, and so fresh and pretty.
No kidding, she’s like a Pokémon character that evolved. I had to do double takes looking at the new materials she is in and sure it’s actually her haha
From adorable cute kid with chubby cheeks to a pretty girly teenager and now a fine young lady. She just gets better everyday.
So Hyun was born to slay these graceful, dignified royal highness roles. Her memorable cameo in Goblin as the queen and here a few seconds in such short teaser as the princess
Queen, Princess, Warrior she is slaying everything! KSH is the best in everything she does!
This is like an extension of her role in Goblin. So Hyun is so versatile. I cannot imagine that she can play a badass role flawlessly, despite being so reserved and girly in real life. She is indeed a thespian.
Oh my goodness, The goosebumps I felt while watching the teasers was indescribable. Kim So Hyun has so many action scenes that exceeds my expectations. She slay all those enemies without batting an eye. So cold blooded and said "You have to fight when you can't avoid it." Then she even win against the perfectionist general second male lead in their sword fighting. His pride must've been hurt. Also she's infiltrating a building at night with her assassin outfit. That's so cool. I never thought that a princess would want to be the greatest king herself and trying to overthrow his father from his position. And Ji Soo his character was a pacifist but his trying his best to kill just to help Pyeonggang to achieve her dream of becoming the king because he loves her. I'm so excited. I wish River Where The Moon Rises team good luck and success. Be safe while filming.
