Ji Soo Follows His Heart For Romance With Kim So Hyun In "River Where The Moon Rises"

Ji Soo is well on his way to becoming the main character of a sad love story.

KBS 2TV’s new Monday-Tuesday drama “River Where the Moon Rises” will put a twist on the classic Goguryeo folk tale of Princess Pyeonggang (Kim So Hyun) and General On Dal’s (Ji Soo’s) passionate love story. The two youthful spirits will protect their love at all costs, regardless of what their fates hold for them, and in the process warm the hearts of the audience.

There are high expectations for Ji Soo’s performance as On Dal, who displays pure and affectionate love for Princess Pyeonggang. He loves her so much that he puts everything on the line for her. It’s no wonder that his ways earned him the nickname of “foolish On Dal.”

The most necessary element in melodramatic acting is a delicate expression of emotions. Since the character’s emotional development acts as the drama’s main storyline, it is essential to convey the smallest of changes in emotion according to each situation.

Previously, Ji Soo validated that he is an actor built for melodramatic acting through his portrayals of youthful love in “My First First Love,” “When I was the Most Beautiful,” and more. No matter what role he plays, Ji Soo gives it his 120 percent and transforms himself into the character. As On Dal, a young man of Goguryeo, he will showcase an incomparable level of pure love.

In addition, the production team has already testified to how in sync Ji Soo is with his role of On Dal. They commented that the two share various characteristics, like their simplicity and honesty, on top of their easy-going manners.

Ji Soo’s physique perfectly fits the character description as well. In the script, On Dal is described to be a strong and quick general. With Ji Soo getting into character in all aspects, it is expected that viewers will have an easier time immersing themselves in the tale.

In the teaser videos and character stills released thus far, Ji Soo’s charms are easily recognizable. His extraordinary visuals and uniquely passionate attitude completes his interpretation of Goguryeo’s On Dal.

“River Where the Moon Rises” will premiere on February 15 at 9:30 p.m. KST.
