Kang Tae Oh Cast as Male Lead in Period K-drama The Moon Flows Over the River Which is Reportedly the Sageuk Version of Secret Garden

I like Kang Tae Oh a lot but the OMFG *&^%#&* aspect of hearing this casting all comes at the very end of the news article. Kang Tae Oh will be starring in the sageuk drama The Moon Flows Over the River as his next project, which is great and all because he was so great in The Tale of Nokdu even as the antagonist. What’s killing me is that the drama is apparently THE SAGEUK VERSION OF SECRET GARDEN!?!? You know, the soul-swapping mega hit that starred Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won and spawned a million memes and fashion trends. I am so onboard this as long as it’s done right and the female lead is a strong actress to pull it off. TBH I am thinking either Kim girls – Kim So Hyun or Kim Yoo Jung (please don’t start a fan war in the comments section), but if not a known name just someone with a really versatile range. And I also have to point out the title is basically re-doing the title of River Where the Moon Rises haha.

  2. He has a lot of fans thanks to EAW, I hope this time his role will be interesting because in EAW, his character was just there…

    KYJ was offered another sageuk (not sure about the period) 100 Days of Lies. It looks interesting with the PD of EAW and the writer of “Do You Like Brahms?.

  3. How on earth? So body swapping? lol secret garden was unique as is so I can’t imagine how it could translate as Sageuk. Main lead should be royalty and main girl a body guard or warrior of sorts. Second male lead would be a performer of sorts yah not sure if they meant literally so maybe it is just the body swap.
