Watch: Kim Yoo Jung And Ahn Hyo Seop Begin A Fateful Love Story In New Teaser For "Lovers Of The Red Sky"

Aug 04, 2021

SBS has shared an exciting new sneak peek of its highly-anticipated drama “Lovers of the Red Sky”!

Based on the novel of the same name by author Jung Eun Gwol, whose novels “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” and “The Moon Embracing the Sun” have also famously been adapted into hit dramas, “Lovers of the Red Sky” is a historical fantasy romance drama set in the Joseon era.

Kim Yoo Jung will star as Hong Chun Gi, the Joseon dynasty’s only female painter, who was born blind but miraculously regains vision. Ahn Hyo Seop will star as blind astrologer Ha Ram, who is able to read the stars despite losing his sight. Gong Myung will star as the lonely and romantic Prince Yangmyung, while Kwak Si Yang will play the cruel and ambitious Prince Joohyang.

The newly released teaser begins by showing the contrast between Hong Chun Gi’s and Ha Ram’s opposite fates. As Hong Chun Gi opens her eyes to the radiant world, she says in voice-over, “There are many things I want to ask, but I will save them for later.” Meanwhile, Ha Ram takes off his mask in darkness to reveal his red eyes. He mysteriously remarks, “Even if I did harbor feelings for you in my heart, I’m already a dead man.”

The clip goes on to show the two characters running into one another, with Ha Ram valiantly protecting Hong Chun Gi in a dangerous situation. Hong Chun Gi asks, “Is it really you?” As the caption teases, “A fateful love begins,” Ha Ram asks in return, “Did you wait for me?” Meanwhile, Hong Chun Gi says wistfully, “I can’t forget you.”

The teaser ends with a glimpse of the pair as children, when the blind Hong Chun Gi touched Ha Ram’s face, followed by a now blind Ha Ram doing the same thing to a visibly emotional Hong Chun Gi.

“Lovers of the Red Sky” premieres on August 30 at 10 p.m. KST and will be available with subtitles on Viki.
