I’m always impressed with stage actors even a step above their screen brethren, it takes an immense amount of confidence and practice to act live in front of an audience.

The play initially got my interest because of news that Moon Geun Young was tapped to play Juliet, with Park Jung Min as her lovelorn Romeo.

One side benefit of Moon Geun Young choosing the SBS corpse mystery thriller The Village (Achiara’s Secret) as her next drama is all the great flashbacks to one of her best movies in The Tale of Two Sisters.
