We’ll have to wait until year end to assess the success of the 2021 sageuks but all eyes are now on SBS late summer premiere of Hong Chun Gi (Red Sky) with the high profile adaptation of the romance sageuk novel by the writer of Sungkyunkwan Scandal and The Moon Embraces the Sun. The latter remains the highest rated sageuk drama of the last decade and young swoony romance against the backdrop of the palace yielded a ratings hit a few years ago with Moonlight Drawn by Stars. There is the common element of Kim Yoo Jung being in both dramas, as the teen version of the female lead and later as the female lead proper like she is here in Hong Chun Gi, and I hope the drama and her male lead Ahn Hyo Seob will be worthy of her deep talents which have been wasted in her recent modern dramas. There are new BTS stills including second male lead Kwak Si Yang sharing a beverage truck sent by his Alice costar Kim Hee Sun, which is probably the best thing to come out of that drama lol.

The cinematography of Hing Chun Gi seems top-notch. Also, it appears that this will be a fully pre-production, which might be a good thing as they'd have time for editing considering the scale.
Also, both leads are offered new projects immediately after their shooting. So, good for them.
I’m excited in anticipation! I can’t wait ♥️
Super looking forward to this drama, to Kim Yoo Jung! The storyline is already interesting and the trailer and these stills look great. Glad that it's pre-produced too since it involves a historical person, and hope that the station runs it past numerous focus groups first in view of the chaos out in dramaland nowadays.
This is my most anticipated sageuk this year. Aside that KYJ will be playing the role of Hong Chun Gi, I'm also excited about their execution because the cinematography alone seems so amazing.
The plot dtory is also very interesting. I hope the screen writer will give justice to the original novel. I am really looking forward as well with their promotions, posters, interviews, and so on. Fighting Hong Chun Gi!
I can't contain my excitement to watch Hong Chun Gi! It seems everything is well done. I really hope for the best for this sageuk drama. Please let this be a masterpiece work PD nim and Writer nim. I saw the full list of its Main casts and Supporting casts. It was a power house cast in my opinion. I am sincerely supporting Kim Yoo Jung and the whole HCG team!
I miss Kim Yoo Jung!
This is my most anticipated Sageuk this year. I super love all the cast especially Kim Yoo Jung and gosh, the storyline is so interesting that I wish there's an english version of the Novel so I can read it while waiting patiently.
I really can't wait to see Kim Yoo Jung back in Sageuk after 5 long years. I love all her works and her versatility in acting excites me the most. I hope they can drop another teaser. A longer one.
I've been waiting patiently for Hong Chun Gi. I know I'm not the only one. From the looks of it, this drama is going to be awesome. I mean, I can sense the top-level cinematography, main casts acting versatility, PD, locations of filming, creativity, and the list goes on. I'm really hoping nothing but the best for Kim Yoo Jung and the whole Hong Chun Gi team.
Go for gold Hong Chun Gi! I wanna watch a high caliber sageuk like Hong Chun Gi. I'm saying high caliber because their storyline got me upon researching it. And checking updates in different social medias for this drama just added more excitement to my impatient self. And right, this is Kim Yoo Jung's comeback in sageuk genre after 5 years! And Truly I can say, Hong Chun Gi will be worth the wait!!!

Yes! Let's pray for its success. I hope those who have high expectations with this sageuk drama will not be disappointed. I am confident with the plot, casts, director but of course their success will all depend on Korean audience. I hope they will like it.
Sageuk Empress Kim Yoo Jung as Hong Chun Gi is one of the best casting this 2021.
Portraying a talented female Painter needs someone who also genuinely loves art and creative herself. She really is the best for the role. Thank God they waited for her to finish her last drama because when Ahn Hyo Seop get casted last April 2020, we, her fans literally lost hope for her to portray HCG because she just started filming BR that time. But then after they announce AHS got offered the male lead, there's no update who will be the female lead, and October 2020, the latest update that KYJ got offered the female lead was like hitting a lottery. They literally waited for her. Thank you SBS.
