It’s male lead Ji Soo‘s turn in the spotlight for the promos of upcoming KBS sageuk River Where the Moon Rises and oh boy I’m ready to do an about turn on his casting. His first sageuk outing was rough to say the least but this time it feels like the role was written for him. He plays Ondal, the Fool character in the folktale, a man from the mountains with no education and all heart. He falls for warrior princess and politician Princess Pyeonggang played by Kim So Hyun and she utilizes him to help in her end goal. As long as she truly loves him then I have no problem with that, but with such stories it always ends in rocks fall down endings because sageuks, they rip your heart out ha. I love this Ji Soo centric trailer which shows how perfect he looks in character, earnest and more muscle than brain but who cares because he already seems like he will do anything for his girl. The funniest aspect is the glimpse of him with Kang Ha Neul guest starring as his dad On Hyeob and imma wonder how old Kang Ha Neul would have been to birth a son as old as Ji Soo.

Well, I’m sure the scene when Jisoo and KHN in one frame, just a flashback when he’s young
Yeah I think that KHN character died early and he exist on Ondal's mind as he is. Based on the teaser I can say that Ondal's remembering his father words so it must mean that KHN is just a memory.
Why my comment appeared just
now?
Just saw the teaser and I love it! I admit I had reservations about his casting, but not anymore, I'm completely sold now and as Koala said, the role indeed seems written for him. He looks so good too!
I hope there would be character teasers for Kang Ha Neul and Lee Ji Hoon's characters too!
RWTMR, Fighting!
Is it possible to love a drama this much before it airs the first episode? All the promotion material has been on spot and the music gives me exciting goosebumps. I’m quivering in excitement. It looks like it’s going to be a grand scale romance story with so much intrigue intersperse in between. There’s so many cute scenes shown already, I can’t wait see the music videos. I knew Page Turner couple would deliver on the feels ❤️
It is because it's looking amazing! The cast is chef's kiss! The director is legendary! They're almost done filming just one more month!
Now, I'm on it. This drama sounds epic. Hoping for big success to the cast and crew.
Please tell me how to have low expectations when the posters to stills to teasers are all so good!
With the sight of On Dal and Pyeonggang being together, I suddenly think that Jisoo will probably have the best chemistry with Kim So Hyun so far. It's giving me angst and ache so good for my heart to handle. I can compare their chemistry to Si Feng and Xuan Ji, Xu Feng and Jin Mi, romance so angsty yet deeply piercing through everyone's heart. I guess it would be a nice stabilizer amidst the political conflicts and action the princess will go through. Personally, I think their chem would be far greater than Page Turner.
when this drama gets low rating all kim so hyun fans will probably blame ji soo. Poor guy.
Ratings don't have any meaning in the digital age. Popularity and trending counts more. Go worry about your bias dramas instead troll.
Just a friendly reminder that this Joane here is a troll and that she's not worthy of your time. Please ignore her comment. And let this be the only reply on her comment. Have a nice day everyone ✌️
We do not care about ratings coz all of So Hyun's dramas are popular overseas. And we never blamed So Hyun's male leads like what your fandom is doing.
@thylane
Do u really know who is her real idol and which fandom she belongs to then do tell me i would like to know
If u think its yoo jung u better think twice
Before even this drama aired dint in this very blog some (not all) fans wwere saying jisoo will bring down the rating he should not have been the ML etc etc just refreshing ur memory
Every fandom wants their idol to work with the best and critising their idols partners r individual opinion becoz no fans can find fault in their idol
So all fandoms r same some more some less
Peace
@joane everyone please ignore this poser. They have no life.
@ana I read all comments in past articles, not one fan said jisoo will bring down the ratings. Some were skeptical of him and his abilities but no one said he will bring down the ratings.
@joane get lost, go play some video games or something
@thylane joane is a poser, stop feeding her. Let’s not generalize although there has been a few that has blamed jcw and cleaning with passion male star for ratings failure. But that’s minority.
@ana who knows whose fandom joane belongs to but ignore that no life person. Not a single message from past articles accused or indicated that Jisoo will cause low ratings. Some only skeptical of his acting abilities but they never said he will cause ratings liabilities. That’s a huge difference.
@dave if Ana wants to lurk around, it’s her freedom. And no need to dig on her fave by saying failed dramas. Some of her fandoms are problems not the actress.
@dan although Ana has the freedom to lurk around, I agree her behavior does have some toxicity. She never apologized for the things she said in that article in regards of “triggered.” No one was triggered. And numerous of people tried to correct her but she was silent. That’s not good.
@Ana why do you always lurk in KSH articles? Literally nobody cares about your bias or her failed dramas so why do you keeping being a busybody in KSH articles trying to defend your bias? We don't need your toxicity in our fandom. We stan a legitimately good actress who shines irrespective of how good or bad the project is. She's the real deal and you need to accept it.
@Dave IKR as far as I can see no one mentioned her fave yet she's here all triggered. Like I read on other KSH article where she accused a fan being triggered when that person was just explaining. It's getting annoying now.
@dave
I have no interest to lurk in KSH articles and i dont understand what toxicity u talking abt
Did i talk down ur idol i just defended my fandom dont u do that in my bias post when ĶSH is involved
For me my bias shine likewise and i only accept that and i dont need to accept anything u say
Failed or hit my bias shine irrespective of ur opinion
I wont lurk in ur idol post as long as ur fandom refrain from mentioning yoojung and her fandom in ur comments when provoked by joane
No offence
@Ana
But @Thylane didn't even mention KYJ's name. He/she could have been referring to the fandom of anyone else. YOU are the one who mentioned KYJ. And got all triggered like you did in that other KSH article.
Also you ARE lurking. If you weren't lurking, you would have skipped this particular post. But you clicked on it to read the comments. Because you wanted to see if anyone would mention KYJ so you can pick a fight.
@/// it’s obvious who @thylane is referring which fandom joane is belonging to. People have to be slow to not get it. Obviously @ana is reading the comments and lurking around but it’s her freedom to do so. It’s a step too far to accuse her of wanting to pick a fight. She is only playing defense mode this time around. She did go too far in the last article but that is one of the few moment she went outside the lines.
@Sarah
Uh...are you her spokesperson or are you actually Ana under a different alias?
Read what she (you) wrote about having no interest in lurking. How would she (you) know what people wrote if she (you) didn't click the article to read the comments? I know her (you) very well on this site and this is what she (you) does so I know what I'm talking about. And I also have the freedom to call her (you) out on it. You'd have to be slow not to get that. Good day.
@/// just because I defend someone doesn’t make me their spokesman or their alias. Your imagination is too wild. I called @ana on her nonsense as well. Why would I call @ana out too if I was her. Why would I tell her to apologize? Use logic lol
She probably has a different understanding of what lurking meant because she probably didn’t even know what triggered even meant when she used it, when @winterbear wasn’t even triggered at all lol
@thylane would mention @ana fandom in the actual name in the past. I’ve been here just as long if not longer than you lol So I was able to saw both sides at fault.
You have the freedom to call her out if you have evidence but don’t jump into conclusion without heavy evidence.
Few days to go till February and Feb 15 will RWTMR ?
@// i read all the comments and post whenever i have time but saying i only lurk in KSH POSTS with the sole intention of picking fight was ur self assumption and mayb u do it not me
If i wanted a fight i would attack not defend
@sarah
Thanks for supporting my opinion and abt the triggered part i was too late to apologise when i knew i misunderstood that comment but if not apologising is considered toxic then i would say many of ur co fandoms have done that to me and many times
@ana if the co fandom refuses to apologize when they make a mistake. It’s on them. That is their own personal problem they need to fix. You call them out, that’s fine. No one can choose to fix for them but themselves. But you have the power to fix yourself, so when you realize you make the mistake, you can be better than them and apologize when you make your mistake. Other people being toxic shouldn’t influence you to be toxic either. I can only control myself. You can only control yourself.
Some of my co fandom needs to stop digging on your fave when your co-fans are acting bad and Vice versa. But I can’t control them but I can only control myself. Just like you. Just my suggestion.
I really wish this will be a good drama, this much coverage reminds me of memories of Alhambra and vagabond
idk, just my thought
You're only seeing this much coverage because the blog owner is excited the promotions from KBS are shit. Dear M has 2x more promotions but it hasn't been covered here. Sisyphus hasn't had much promotions either but it's getting a lot of coverage on this blog for the same reason. All the best to them both and all the upcoming dramas.
@dan
U right i mistakenly misunderstood that fan so i opted out from commenting further
But now u doing the same i m just explaining here
Joane is known here to be Kyj fan (actually she is not)
Rest read the comment and try to understand properly before reacting
If its annoying for u sorry cant help it as i m too sensitive where yoojung is concerned
U can ignore my comments and enjoy ur girls article
The uphill task is even having viewers tune in to the first ep that is the challenge now. That's why they are selling hard Kim Haneul's special cameo despite his limited appearance. As long as fans dun get too bitter about the eventual ratings per expectations than its fine. Frankly the drama is going in with minimal expectations so any unexpected upside will be buzz worthy. Sure beats a much hyped drama that don't live up to expectations. Pressure is less.
