Watch: "River Where The Moon Rises" Previews Epic Love Story Of Kim So Hyun And Ji Soo In New Teaser

Feb 02, 2021

KBS 2TV’s upcoming historical drama “River Where the Moon Rises” has shared an epic new teaser!

A reinterpretation of a classic Goguryeo folk tale, “River Where the Moon Rises” will tell the famous love story of Princess Pyeonggang (played by Kim So Hyun) and On Dal (played by Ji Soo).

The newly released teaser begins with On Dal’s father General On Hyup (Kang Ha Neul) being told that the queen is coming. He looks shocked, and the next set of events show a devastating turn in the story. Soldiers raid a village that becomes a sea of fire. On Hyup attempts to stop the attacks, and little Pyeonggang (Heo Jeong Eun) witnesses the horrifying battle with teary eyes.

The tension is heightened by a deep voiceover that commands, “Kill the king of Goguryeo.” Pyeonggang, who is now grown up, whips her sword out and points it at someone. It will be intriguing to find out who gave the command and why she is attempting to eliminate the king.

Hae Mo Yong (Choi Yoo Hwa), a beautiful and powerful woman who is determined to control the country, and Go Geon (Lee Ji Hoon), a top elite general, will also come into play and complicate the story.

Amid the chaos, love blossoms between Pyeonggang and On Dal. He tells her, “Don’t hurt anyone from now on and protect yourself. Your life is precious.” Pyeonggang smiles softly in his direction, but her smile vanishes in the next clip when it is revealed that she is a princess. She vows to find out who she truly is, but the teaser hints her connection to On Dal will remain solid as he hands her a gold object and tells her, “With this, we’re on the same side.”
