River Where The Moon Rises with Kim So Hyun, Ji Soo, and Kang Ha Neul drops new teaser


Doesn’t she look like Jang Hyuk’s historical drama daughter? Lol.

I can’t remember my last Korean drama. I have spent a long time away from them this past year. Lol. But LOOK at my Page Turner babies slashing and playing warriors set during the historical period of Goguryeo! River Where The Moon Rises (달이뜨는강) is an adaptation of Korean folktale, Princess Pyeonggang and the Fool Ondal, but it looks like there’s a novel version of the story called Princess Pyeonggang by Choi Sa Gyu, which might provide a happier alternative to the drama. Kim So Hyun plays a warrior princess who’s fighting to become the next ruler and Ji Soo is the babo who later becomes a respected general and gives her his 100% devotion. She uses him to advance her goals but slowly falls in love in the process. KEKEKE. Kim Ha Neul is Ji Soo’s father. hehe.

I think So Hyun is growing up beautifully, she’s starting to lose her baby fat. Aww.
