I think by aging down the leads of River Where the Moon Rises from the first concept when veteran stars were courted for the roles, it will end up having a broader I-audience appeal due to the Hallyu popularity of the younger leads. That’s great because sageuks truly have its own appeal and if done so an unforgettable pathos in story telling and I would love for younger viewers get into it more. Sure this isn’t a Hur Joon or Dae Jang Geum type 50-episode sageuk but from the promos it’s definitely focused on the country building, battles in and out of the palace halls, and stints with the commoner world to better round out our protagonist princess. Leads Kim So Hyun, Ji Soo, Lee Ji Hoon, and Choi Yu Hwa are just top visuals as a group, total *chef’s kiss* and even better no one is saddled with a terrible hairstyle or outfit combos. Love the new group poster done in the traditional style and lots of new character stills came out this week as well so check it out!
