Plot

Historical drama "The Moon Embracing The Sun" tells a love story between King Lee Hwon (Kim Soo-Hyun) and a female shaman named Wol (Han Ga-In). Wol was born from a noble family and became the crown princess, but she was entrapped and faced execution. Finally, she lived as a shaman.

....

(ep.1) The Sun symbolises the fate which only a king or a future king possess.

Instructing that the sun must become one, Queen Yoon (Kim Young-Ae) orders Yoon Dae-Hyung (Kim Eung-Soo) to kill Prince Uisung (Kim Myeong-Su), who is the stepbrother of King Sungjo. At night, Yoon Dae-Hyung and his men breaks into Prince Uisung's home.

Meanwhile, shaman court ladies Ari (Jang Yeong-Nam) and Jang Nok-Young (Jeon Mi-Seon) prepare for a rite at the royal palace. Ari then senses that something horrific is about to happen at the home of Prince Uisung whom she lived at as a servant. Even though Ari's roommate, shaman Court Lady Nok-Young (Jeon Mi-Seon), tells her not to go she leaves for Prince Uisung's home. When Ari veers over the wall surrounding his home she sees Yoon Dae-Hyung kill Prince Uisung with his sword. Yoon Dae-Hyung then notices Ari looking over the wall and goes in pursuit of Ari. As Ari tries to escape the assassins, she falls from a cliff.

Yoon Dae-Hyung goes back to the palace and tells Queen Yoon about the shaman Court Lady Ari. Queen Yoon puts forth a plan to manipulate the evidence at Prince Uisung's home.

Shaman Court Lady Ari is now conscious again, but severely injured. She collapses on a trail where a gama (wheelless carriage) is being carried by four men. A noblewoman (Yang Mi-Kyeong), who is pregnant, gets out of the gama and tries to help Ari. The noblewoman hides the injured shaman Court Lady in her gama and has the men continue. They are able to get back into the city.

Before shaman Court Lady Ari leaves she thanks the pregnant noblewoman and tells her that she will have a girl. Ari also tells the pregnant noblewoman that her daughter will be born with noble fate. Ari also foresees the death of the baby and sees her future tomb, but Ari is unable to tell the pregnant noblewoman about this. Instead, Ari promises that she will protect the baby in the future.

Later, Ari is arrested and interrogated by torture. Shaman Court Lady Nok-Young bribes a guard to let her into the prison and talk to Ari. Ari, barely conscious at this time, asks Nok-Young to protect someone. Someone who should not come close to the sun, but should be near the sun. Nok-Young asks Ari who that person is, but Ari says she can't say.

The next day Ari is publically executed.

As Ari predicted, the noblewoman gives birth to a girl. Her father names her Yeon-Woo.

Years later, Yeon-Woo (later played by Han Ga-In) is now an inquisitive 13-year-old girl. Yeon-Woo and her mother goes to the royal palace to see a ceremony which her older brother Yeom (later played by Song Jae-Hee) will take part in and will be attended by King Sungjo (Ahn Nae-Sang). During the ceremony, while people bow to King Sungjo, Yeon-Woo sees a yellow butterfly and starts to follow the butterfly.

Meanwhile, a Crown Prince (later played by Kim Soo-Hyun) places some valuables into a small bag and sneaks out of the royal palace. While he is atop a ladder he sees Yeon-Woo walking towards him. The Crown Prince falls off the ladder and onto Yeon-Woo. They are both highly embarrassed.

Yeon-Woo then sees the bag carried by the Crown Prince on the ground. Yeon-Woo is certain that the man is a thief. Yeon-Woo calls for the palace guards. When the Crown Prince sees the palace guards coming, he grabs Yeon-Woo and runs. The Crown Prince and Yeon-Woo stop in front of a pavilion. Instead of revealing his identity, the Crown Prince tells Yeon-Woo that he is eunuch and is attempting to leave the palace to visit his brother. By this time, Yeon-Woo's mother is worried sick by Yeon-Woo's disappearance. Yeon-Woo's mother then sees Yeon-Woo walking with the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince walks off with a palace guard. When Yeon-Woo is about to leave the royal palace, a Court Lady gives her a piece of fabric with letters.

Prince Yangmyung (later played by Jung Il-Woo) is the older stepbrother of the Crown Prince. Because of King Sungjo's strict control, Prince Yangmyung can not see his stepbrother and is prohibited from entering the royal palace. Prince Yangmyung then sees a fortune teller's house with people waiting in line. Prince Yangmyung becomes curious also stands in line. At this time shaman Court Lady Nok-Young arrives to visit a little girl fortune teller. Shaman Court Lady Nok-Young sees Prince Yangmyung. Without knowing that he is a prince, Nok-Young feels that possesses the fate of sun, which only a king or future king has. Prince Yangmyung now sits in front of the little girl fortune teller. Prince Yangmyung senses that she is abused. He picks up the girl and begins to run. A bunch of men then blocks his path. One of the men snatches the girl and leaves. Then, Nok-Young stops the man and saves the little girl. Prince Yangmyung, meanwhile, defeats the other men.

At night, the Prince Yangmyung walks on a street and jumps atop the fence of someone's home. Meanwhile, Yeon-Woo can't figure out the letters on the piece of fabric she received at the royal palace. Yeon-Woo goes out of her room and then suddenly realizes what the letters mean. The letters represents the Crown Prince. She now realizes that the man she met is the Crown Prince. Sitting on top of the fence, Prince Yangmyung sees Yeon-Woo and smiles ...

Notes

  2. Main characters King Lee Hwon & Wol are fictional characters.
  3. Actor Joo Won was originally cast as Prince Yangmyung, but dropped out of the show due to KBS2 drama series "Ojakgyo Family" being extended (by an additional 10-15 episodes).
  4. Kim Jeong-Hoon (John-Hoon) (scheduled to play Heo Yeom) dropped out the series prior to filming due to his album being released early 2012 in Japan.
  5. On December 25, 2011, the first adult characters' screenplay reading took place at MBC Ilsan Dream Center in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea (participating in the reading is Kim Soo-Hyun, Han Ga-In & Jung Il-Woo).
  6. "The Moon Embracing The Sun" takes over the MBC Wed. & Thurs. 21:55 time slot previously occupied by "Me Too, Flower!" and will be followed by "The King 2hearts" on March 21, 2012.
  7. Filming for "The Moon Embracing The Sun" takes place at the Korean Folk Village, located in Yongin (satellite city of Seoul), Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.
  8. From ep.6 (first airs January 19, 2012) the main leads appears as the adult characters.
  9. Ep.7 will have its runtime extended to 80 minutes from its usual 70 minutes length. This is due to a strike by news reporter at MBC where "The Moon Embracing The Sun" airs.

  10. Final two episodes of "The Moon Embracing The Sun," ep.19 and ep.20 (originally scheduled to air March 7th and March 8th, 2012 ), will not air on its scheduled air dates and is postponed due to the MBC labor strike. Series director Kim Do-Hoon joined the labor strike at the request of his colleagues. The labor strike is in protest of the appointment of Kim Jae-Chul as the MBC president, which the news bureau claims to be a political appointment and negatively affects their ability to publish unbiased reports or unfavorable reports on the government.
  11. Final two episodes "The Moon Embracing The Sun" will air Wednesday March 14, 2012 (ep.19) and Thursday March 15, 2012 (ep.20). Series director Kim Do-Hoon came back to finish filming the last two episodes on March 6.
  12. Actor Kim Soo-Hyun finished filming his scenes for ep.19 and 20 on March 6th through March 8th. His scheduled was filled after March 8th and hence the need to finish his scenes by that date.

    I usually like period and fantasy dramas. In fact, they're the ones I watch the most. But I really didn't like this one. Except for Kim You-Jung, Kim Soo-Hyun and Jung Il-Woo, I didn't like the acting. Han Ga-In is beautiful and all, but her acting didn't convince me at all. I don't know... It may be the character's fault. I haven't read the novel (I don't believe it was translated in my language).
    I've watched 13 episodes so far and I have to say it sucks to watch more that 60 % of a drama and not be impressed at all. I had high expectations because of the plot, but I ended up being disappointed. Too bad. I really wanted to like "The Moon embracing the Sun". It may be cool, interesting or emotional from this point, but I don't care. It's too late, in my opinion.

    Got a question - in the episode when they are doing the marriage eligibility trials, all the girls are walking through the gate and they step on that round thing with their right foot - why are they doing that?

    It's a small detail but it's driven me crazy and I can't find out why they did that, or even anything about the process for eliminating candidates and it sounds really interesting!!

    Any help would be awesome!!!

I hope it will have a part 2 with the same cast and additional cast like BYJ....

    Ann Says:

    I can totally see why this drama was such a big hit. With the story line, the actors and actresses, the dresses, the sets and the music. All in all, it was a long-remembered drama.
    I totally can relate to the chemistry and longing desire of the characters best when the child actors were in the role. I had never enjoy pre-adult scenes in a drama and usually skipped them. But in this drama, it totally captivated me. I love Jin-Goo, You-Jung, So-hyun and all the child actors playing their part. I didnt feel such a feeling when seeing the adult actors, but they still were really great, though.
    One of fall down for me in this drama was, the lack part Queen Bo-Kyung in this drama. I think this drama was about two suns and two moons in the sky of Jeoseon, but all I could see was two suns and one moon in action. I think Bo-kyung should take part more in political and love issues. She was in the top 3 of Sejabin selection, it must explain how she was as bright as Yeon-woo, only lack the kind heart. I wish she would have play more a badass. She was her father's daughter after all.
    All things put aside, I totally love this drama. and Wish to see all the actors and actresses best of luck in their future and carreer. Hwaiting!!

    Leeda Says:

    Very interesting and unique drama. The mysteriousness of the shamans really draws you into the story. The child actors totally out-perfromed the adult actors. Especially kim yoo jung, her acting was awesome! A major downfall for this drama is that the chemistry between the two adult actors was really bad. Han ga in kinda ruined the drama for me and some other actress, like han hyo joo, would totally fit the character more. I find it weird how they chose han ga in b/c she's so much older than kim soo hyun. Loved the story line but the two adult leads had NO chemistry whatsoever!

    The Moon Embracing the Sun is one of the excellent TV Drama Series I've watched. Though the story is usual but the actors made a great impact. They have portrayed their characters wonderful. They truly deserve their awards. Kim Soo Hyun, is an awesome actor. He blown me away whenever there is a crying scene. My heart melts. Not to mention that he is good looking. This drama series concluded last November 2012. But the fact that I love this series, I bought a compilation of the entire series. And I do watch it everyday! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

    GOOD JOB to the production of The Moon Embracing the Sun. More Power to you guys and more blessings to come. I hope you will produce another series that will touch our hearts and enriches our lives.

    Regards from your Avid fan,

    Wow. What can I say? This drama was amazing. I dare say that this may almost be as good as stairway to heaven! My #1 korean drama. I have to admit.... My favorite part was the part with the children and the last few episodes near the end. My biggest pet peeve was how the child actor did not grow up to look like the actors hahaha. However, it was still very good to say the least. I only wish it could have been longer. There were still several small unanswered details. Still one of the best dramas I've seen in a while!

    I was just disappointed that Sul and Woon did not get together. According to the writer, they were supposed to but due to the worker strike in Korea, they had to cut the drama short and exclude the part where Sul and Woon fall in love. Shame, that was one of the things that I was really excited about. h

    “It’s time that you let go of the one you keep in your heart. Empty a place in your heart for someone new. Don’t struggle to cover the truth with laughter anymore. Isn’t it too painful a thing to live your life in disguise while lying to your heart?” – Wol

    I was there in Korea last September, and I was hoping to see some of the artist.
    Even if I wasn't lucky enough to see them, I had a feel of the country's culture.
    Same with this drama, it moved me and made me appreciate their culture and people.
    Great Koreanovela!!! More power to all the cast! A JOB WELL DONE!!!
    CONGRATULATIONS!!!

    I love this show so much I can not contain myself when I talk about it to my friends.. I love the romantic scenes..so cute and so full of love.. I really love the pair.. I am not really into watching series but this one is an exemption. I've only missed one episode coz of unavoidable circumstance...You see it's shown Mon to Fri here in the Philippines from 6:00 to 6:30 PM... It will end on Fri, Nov 2.. If shown again I will watch it again and again.. I am an avid fan..And it makes me sad that it the end of the series is near coz it's already a part of my night time TV sched... It's the only series I watch regularly...

    I already finished watching this Korean drama. I really had a great time watching it. In fact, I am already addicted to it!!! This is not just an ordinary drama, its contents are deep, you have to analyze and dig deeper into your heart in order for you to contain the feelings and thoughts that the drama is supposed to inscribe into you. Aside from that, it is also romantic and the touch of suspense makes it more enticing! I really love this drama! This is the best! I really commend the directors, staff and of course the actors and actresses for doing a job well done=))))

    I couldn't contain myself while watching the Drama, in fact i have already watched it more than five times now and the excitement i felt from the first time i watched it did not ebb. I tagged it THE BEST KOREAN DRAMA i have ever watch here in West Africa (Nigeria). The story is so touching and the cast are awesome! in fact more grease to Kim Soo Hyun, Ha Ga-In, Jung II Woo and Kim min Seo's elbow (These cast deserves to be paid more for the way they relayed the story).
    I will not forget the input of Nam Bo-ra (who did not change at all from her enthusiastic, carefree and highly emotional nature as a child, unlike other actors that change from kids to adults, this one was the same character throughout except for the "Husband" part).
    I cannot forget to mention the way Jeon mi-Seon portrayed the Shaman (or should i say prophetess?) aspect of the drama (she acted as if she can actually see real visions of the future without changing her expression, but making it look more real than real life prophetesses.
    Lastly, i ask myself if all mothers passes through what Yang Mi-Kyeong passed through in this drama?, because she did not leave room for doubt as to how mothers do react to the trauma of losing one's child who is already in the peak of achieving what would have been a life changing experience for the family.

    i think i might be the only one who really hates this drama...from the 1st ep i liked Yang-Myung character more an i really hate the main actress "Han Ga-In" she's annoying to me...plus the way they killed all the 2ry characters Seol , Yang-Myung and Bo-Kyung was more than horrible this drama sucks for me :S
    and sorry for all Kim Soo-Hyun fans i really loved him in Dream High but in this one he's truly horrible and non-fit

    this drama is what i call AWESOME!!!, all the way from Nigeria, i can't begin to tell Y'all in words what i learn from this drama....is simply SUPERB! made my heart ache, cry, love and laugh and even till now, am still watching it, the young king Kim soo Hyun is soooooooo Good (no that's an understatement) he is indescribable (he just an actor from another planet).
    Though i like Song Il Gook, Lee Minho, Park shi hoo... but i fell in love with Kim soo Hyun and i can't help it (he is simply irreplaceable in my list of actors, cos he will remain the BEST!!!)

    Congratulations! You really embraced your viewers emotions and interest.The writer's intentions to see the political dinasty and corruption that leads to the fate of king's and female shaman pre-destined love was really exceptional.
    The director's motivation to each cast gave justice in portraying their roles, though Han Ga-In was lacked in expressions but over-all its good, especially to Kim Soo-Hyun whose acting was an outstanding performance. It is really highly recommended to watch......Philippines.....watch for it.

    Han Ga-in nearly ruined this show being so stone faced ...Kim Yoojung worked hard at developing a wonderful soft character & obviously Han Ga-in didnt study the role KY created or she didnt have the acting skills to stay on point ..as Kim Soo-Hyun did w/ the character Yeo Jin-Ku created. She seemingly had difficulty inserting herself into the role & had no chemistry what-so-ever w/ Kim Soo-Hyun

    the best illusions on this drama was the part of prince hyamyung and woon. The acting of song jae rim is really wonderful. The part that I cried was when Seol died. How I wish that she ended up with Woon or Prince Hyanyung. But I was not dissapointed with the acting of Kim Soo Hyung. I love him at Dream High 1 and I love him more on this drama. I bet, he's the best actor of his generation. I thought that syndrome will become the best drama for 2012, but i guess i will be in favor of this one. My best korean dramas are Hong Gil Dong, Princess Hours, and The Moon that Embraces the Sun.

    i think the story is similar with The Great Queen Seon Deok, which has two moons (two princess) too, which one kicked out from the palace and the other one (always) died haha.. and also the good man (always) die with unfairness, they are Prince Yang Myung (TMTETS) and Bi Dam (TGQSD) the difference is there are so many cute actor in TMTETS :D

    I think that Han Ga In should NOT have played Yan Noo, they did not look anything alike! and the younger Yan Noo was so much better! Althought I gotta say that i liked the king both the young actor and the older one, but especially the older king, when the tears come from his eyes I just wanna sob with him. He's so believable! And so adorable. and looks so much younger than Han Ga In, but isn't she supposed to be like 6 or 8 years younger than him???!

    anyway, i hope i don't have to wait for the ending!!! i thought they were going to extend it by 4 episodes too! what happened to that?

    rls4311 Says:

    EXCELLENT DRAMA, actors/actresses, music, costumes, scenery. I am very picky about dramas, and this one is in my "Top 5 Best Korean Dramas". Kim Soo-Hyun, who portrays the now grown-up King, is absolute wonderful for this part. His acting is excellent, and I really hope he wins an award for something. I cannot imagine anyone else, who would've been better for this part. I just wish they could've found "older kids" for the characters, that at least resemble the "younger kids". The 2 different groups (young kids vs. older kids) don't look anything like each other (yes, because in real life they aren't related to each other, so they won't look like each other). When the drama went from young kids to older kids (without a warning), I had no idea who they were supposed to be, because they didn't look anything like the younger kids. It's hard to believe that they are the "grown-up versions" of those young kids. The only one who resembles the younger version of herself, is the young Queen (same high forehead, same jawline, same mouth, same expressions).

    Final two episodes of "The Moon Embracing The Sun," ep.19 and ep.20 (originally scheduled to air March 7th and March 8th, 2012 ), will not air on its scheduled air dates and is postponed due to the MBC labor strike. Series director Kim Do-Hoon joined the labor strike at the request of his colleagues. The labor strike is in protest of the appointment of Kim Jae-Chul as the MBC president, which the news bureau claims to be a political appointment and negatively affects their ability to publish unbiased reports or unfavorable reports on the government

    agree with iismomo. i'm kinda disappointed with Heo Yeom and Woon adult. especially heo yeom that really "shining" in the childhood (Heo Yeom had that aura for him and I don't see the "shine" in the adult cast)
    actually th jaw line and eyes of the Woon adult and childhood were similiar but the adult Woon is not cute at all. LOL. but overall, I really love this drama, Han Ga In is sooo pretty. She didn't look 6 years apart with Soo Hyun at all.

    i really cannot wait to see the rest of the drama, it's really such a amazing show. when i first read the synopsis i wasnt really into it but since i like the actors and historical dramas i general i thought, well give it a shot. i was awestruck on the first episode and now i can barely wait each day for the next episode to come out. the story has really began with a gong, you could feel the love story taking place, the happy and sad moments. it took 6 episodes and even though i wanted to quickly see what would happen with the older casts it was with regret that i saw the youngs actors go. they really made us excited as what is to come. btw did someone noticed that the young Heo Yeon-Woo and Lee Hwon are the same child actors in Iljimae? so it wasnt the first time they played together as a future couple^^.
