Cindy Jan 24 2021 7:28 am Look forward to this drama, been waiting 1year to see Sohyun being acted again in small screen. Reunion page Turner ❤❤ but i don't know how to describe my feeling after see the 3rd teaser.. Cakkanim, please don't make sad end. Basically, this is a korean tale but i hope make a happy situation

meow Jan 24 2021 6:17 am What a nice combination. The man that the ladies doesn't want to choose, and the lady who doesn't know how to pick the right man.

Rara Jan 23 2021 1:22 am Kang haneul is only a cameo, but in teaser only, his aura is already amazing. I like jisoo, but it’s a pity that kang haneul is not the lead :”).

Lee Seohwa Jan 22 2021 6:20 am This Kdrama reminds me of Su Baekhyang The King’s Daughter

Cumi Dec 14 2020 10:58 pm Somebody should change the tittle, please, because i don't know how :v

"River Where The Moon Rises" is official English tittle. Release in March, 2021. Network KBS. Runtime Mon-Tue. Episode 20 (60 minutes).

)

duckling Dec 13 2020 12:12 pm if you're a fan of any of the actors, ready yourself from critics. It is a goguryeo period drama and its been a long time since the last one. Even though it clearly says its a fusion drama, there's no escape. (A lot of fusion and faction sageuks experienced it) Also, most of goguryeo dramas are billion budgeted because of the costumes, research, etc. I'm not sure how well prepared this production is but I hope for the best.

Mansi Singhal Dec 10 2020 7:41 am Fighting .. Kimsohyun can't wait. And also for lovealarm season 2

izzy Dec 04 2020 2:10 pm i'm so excited... i hope it turns out to be good! sohyun & jisoo fighting~!

You knees Dec 01 2020 10:58 am Finally! Jisoo as the main lead. Time to end the second lead syndrome. Wishing for the success of the drama. Fighting.

Nana Nov 23 2020 8:48 am Can't wait.. Both lead will rock the role perfectly.. So hyun and jisoo fighting

Lee Seohwa Nov 19 2020 3:19 pm It’s been hella long time ago that Korean haven’t made a drama that is set in Goguryeo period except for The Great Battle

Somebody Nov 16 2020 11:21 pm Oh ok this is historical genre I like it and can't wait let's go Jisoo and So hyun can't wait

Hj Nov 15 2020 10:08 am @Lucy He already plenty of male lead like my first first love, page turner, his movie one way trip.

Lucy Nov 15 2020 9:39 am Is this Jisoo's first male lead role?? Or was it the 2020 drama he did this year

Beezus Nov 14 2020 2:18 am Cannot wait see lee ji hoon and Kim sohyun chemistry and interaction the only I'm excited about and I ship from this drama cast

gazii Nov 07 2020 2:02 am Go So Hyun-ssi! You will definitely slay that fierce role. Everyone are really excited that you are going to be the FL in this drama because you are such a great actress, and everyone wants to see your school 2015 role comes back to life in version 2.0. Also we have a strong second lead, Lee Ji Hoon. Wow, i hope this will be a success. Fighting everyone

Carrot Nov 05 2020 9:12 pm @carla @tara please watch Jisoo's drama with stable internet connection so you can see how good his skill. If you just able to watch 2 or 3 episodes, you'll never know anything and just doubting him.

Cumi Nov 04 2020 2:01 am Victory content recommend a novel Princess Pyonggang by Choi Sangyu, from many review i read, the novel was great. And if TMRR was adaptation from that novel at the least we will have solid plot. So keep positive :)

Mansi Singhal Nov 03 2020 9:24 pm This drama is based on the original novel by a famous movie screenwriter , choi sangyu. The novel is called princess pyeong-gang. It took 25 years to complete the novel??. Victory content suggest the fans to read this novel before watching the drama if they want to. The novel and drama is all going to revolve around killer , queen , general , princess pyeong-gang i.e kimsohyun. It's a female centric drama. Looking forward to it. Kang ha neul reason to accept the role of father coz of amazing script and wow Character stated by his agency.✌️

Kdrama Fan since 2015 Nov 03 2020 8:09 pm You slayed it @Touka!!

Touka Nov 03 2020 2:32 pm We, Kim So Hyun and Ji Soo fans more than anyone else already knew about the writer and his drama's mediocre ratings. But we cannot just dive into despair and think merely about the negative side while overlooking the pros of the drama. The writer was the one behind The time between dog and wolf drama which was loved by everyone plus if ever the broadcasting channel is MBC we cannot deny the fact that the channel has produced the most highest rated historical dramas of all time, they are just having a bad time since most of dramas that have been aired was modern drama which isn't their specialty. Also, Kang Ha Neul even can't let the drama go and still pursuits for cameo because he have seen the script and he got fascinated if not for his busy schedule he would want to be the male lead. The PD has quite excellent saeguks. Actress Kim So Hyun is very careful in choosing her next work before accepting especially saguek dramas since she had some past experience and her visual is suited to be royalty just like on goblin. Ji Soo became excellent on portraying melodrama characters after so many projects he accepted like One way trip, When I was the most beautiful and his current drama Amanza. I understand that we should not give such high expectations but saying that it is impossible for this drama to breakthrough is quite nah? Even unintentionally, your just like killing the mood and hype for this upcoming drama. We haven't watch it yet and it's totally up to us whether we expect that high. I mean who wouldn't expect high from their faves. Expectations is also a standard and a form of faith to your idols that they would do their best to live up to their supporter's expectations. Lastly, we will watch not because of the ratings... we will watch solely because of their excellent acting.

Jaime Nov 01 2020 10:24 pm Yeah do not expect too much because expectation will lead to disappointment. The writer has mediocre ratings too look at his drama ratings in korea even if he casted BIG actors in his prev dramas, it still got low ratings. Adding to the problem is that he doesn't have enough historical themed works. It is only Dr. jin which has a very WEIRD plot and writing and many people hated it despite great actors like Park Min Young and Seong Seung Hon is in it. Plus it is going to air on a channel that is not doing well in their recent dramas You know mbc sucks in ratings these days. KBS and SBS would be better i think in terms of ratings. So to all kim so hyun or ji soo fans, do not give high expectations.

maya Nov 01 2020 9:26 pm i am so worried about the screen writer. I hope he has a writing team that assists him in writing the drama. His works are meh eapecially Road No 1 has a 13 billion- a big budget and a star studded cast but then it flopped as it only got 6% ratings max and did not even reach double digits. considering this drama is also going to air on mbc, so my advice for all of you Dont Expect Too Much getting high ratings for this drama is impossible...

Jillibean Nov 01 2020 1:22 pm Ah a reunion of Page Turner Alummni. :) Will definitely check it out.

Igorota Oct 30 2020 7:49 am Looking forward for this!

Somebody Oct 30 2020 1:17 am So excited

Sso fan Oct 25 2020 7:53 pm @majimakaji, I totally agree with you.

majimakaji Oct 25 2020 9:01 am don’t worry guys, sso’s character will definitely be strong and i think this drama will be female centric, here’s the reason why: So Hyun’s previous histor drama like Tale of Nokdu & Master of the Mask were obviously male centric judging from the synopsis they released before the dramas started airing. the names of the male lead always comes first in lists of cast and the plot always talks about the role of male lead but this one is different. the way they construct the synopsis, seems like so hyun will be really slaying in this drama with her badass role!! so don’t worry guys and let’s all patiently wait for 2021

Naria Oct 25 2020 3:15 am Kim So Hyun is one of my fave actresses & I love Jisoo. Looks like they'll reunite as lovers like how they were in Page Turner (highly recommended that short drama to everyone, it's heart warming)

I'm looking forward to this!!

Dr Sunshine Oct 25 2020 12:21 am Ji Soo....fighting. Bring out your real stuffs man... You can do this... I’ve always felt that you’re among the young ones who can really act & give your 110% best & that one day you’ll have that challenging & awesome role/character. Fighting...Ji soo. All the support for you... So hyun is more than just talented. She too can absolve herself in any role...i particularly love her in historical dramas. That goblin experience even for a short while- her presence wasn’t merely seen but felt for a while. Daebak isn’t it. Kang ha neul is making a special appearance for this- tq & how wonderful I’m Just so waiting for this Drama

Rec Oct 24 2020 11:23 pm Ji Soo my boy love ya. Can’t wait to see you reunited with So hyunnie and you both slaying the lead roles. Looking forward to next year!

sunkisseu Oct 24 2020 1:04 pm when the first time I read the plot, I just have jisoo name in my mind. then the production company cast him and this week jisoo finally confirm. I lost my words, bcs I'm so happy with kim sohyun and jisoo reunion. and not to be rude, but me personally prefer sso act with pure actor then idol-actor.

Akunsuwun Oct 24 2020 10:53 am Jisoo fighting!!!

Akunsuwun Oct 24 2020 10:52 am Jisoo Fighting!!

Cumi Oct 24 2020 8:12 am @OneofStayfine

Yes!! Agreee! It been a long time since the last sso perform ost of her drama. Sso voice is so sweet and heartwarming >.< Lets pray everything best for her and this drama.

One of Stayfine Oct 24 2020 7:37 am Yeaay great cast!!! I really like it... I hope it will be an epic drama,Hopefully sohyun will become one of the performers of the drama ost, Hope it can be successful like the empress ki drama:) Can't wait to see Ondal's chemistry and Pyeonggang queen

Ducky Oct 24 2020 7:10 am MBC? Wow I hope this drama is not like the Ruler Master of the Mask where the role that Sohyun got is not that good ... please I hope this drama makes the role of sohyun stand out ... which can Said to be female centric... apart from that, i'm so happy jisoo and sohyun reunited.. yeaay finally, i can see their chemistry both a lot more than page turners... Jisoo-sohyun's acting skills are equally well developed:) Anyway, I hope this drama will be successful?✊?

Sso fan Oct 23 2020 11:14 pm Ommo! So Excited for Kim So-hyun comeback!!

SimpForKimSoHyun Oct 23 2020 5:45 am Yes Yes and Yes! Queen Kim So Hyun is born to play this kind of roles! ? I'm sure our beautiful and talented Queen will slay this role again! Super excited for this! I do wish they cast Do Kyungsoo in the male lead role instead tho, I mean, I do want So Hyun and Jisoo to reunite after Page Turner, but in something more light-hearted. This drama seems like the kind that needs a stronger male lead, and Do Kyungsoo was so good in the historical drama 100 Days My Prince. Nevertheless, I like Jisoo and I wish only the best for my queen and for her new drama, so fighting!

hu Oct 23 2020 1:18 am Yeshhh so excited for kim sohyun's return, andd the cast lineup is elite. jisoo getting male lead role (again) cant wait for 2021

Sage Oct 23 2020 1:17 am OMG wat a lineup! *0* excited for kimsohyun's return ~~ every drama she's on is alwaysss A Good One! and finally Jisooo <3 getting the lead male rolee (again) 2021 is gonna be a good yr. —ฅ/ᐠ..ᐟ\ฅ —(hoping)

Yubi Oct 22 2020 9:37 am Oh my!! It really good to see them as pair again.. Page Turner is to shirt.. My favorite lead couple.. Can't wait to see it ^^ fighting!!!! I'm excitedddddd

julieta grospe Oct 22 2020 8:08 am fighting jisoo . we will support you

Yooyeonan Oct 22 2020 6:59 am @FlowerNyx And finally Jisoo accepted ! Woaaa I'm really happy, although so many people doesn't support him to be the main male lead. Jisoo acting is good and suitable with the character of this drama. Like in Page Tuner, he also have fool and funny character like Ondal. And once again, their chemistry is really good !

Cumi Oct 22 2020 6:25 am Okay, everyone lets just think positively and support this drama :) the succest of drama isnt just from the lead only. So i hope the plot and direct are good. Costume and everything are good.

And i think the product itself choose the lead after carefull considered :) Hwaiting!!!

Alexa Oct 22 2020 5:35 am I'm not a fan of the male lead but the premise seems cool enough so I'm looking forward to see it.

Yooyeonan Oct 22 2020 5:20 am @FlowerNyx And finally Jisoo accepted ! Woaaa I'm really happy, although so many people doesn't support him to be the main lead. Jisoo acting is good and suitable with the character of this drama. And once again, their chemistry is really good ??

Ramona Oct 22 2020 3:11 am I really don't like jisoo as lead for this drama.. But omg lee ji hoon and Kim so hyun to cast on this drama is such a wish come true. Even though lee ji hoon is not the lead please director let Kim so hyun and lee hi hoon to have romantic chemistry I ship this two so so much .. Like the other drama second lead role doesn't have chemistry is so annoying so please atleast some real chemistry more romantic from lee ji hoon and Kim so hyun

Rizka Ananda Oct 22 2020 1:08 am Cant waittt!!!

ss Oct 21 2020 10:33 pm OMG! The cast had been revealed.

FlowerNyx Oct 21 2020 8:50 pm @Yooyeonan Omg!! That's what I was thinking! I hope he accepts, I'm a fan of Kim So Hyun! I've most of her lead roles, I'm a bit behind though with dramas but I'll find time to catch up ^_^ Anyways, this drama looks good! I can't wait for more of the cast!

alice Oct 19 2020 12:09 pm Stop worrying about the main leads and worry more about the writer. Melodrama or romcom it doesn't matter when the writer is as bad as he is. MBC won't give it the big budget that KBS did.

carla Oct 19 2020 6:54 am Sorry to say but i don’t think Ji Soo has still that charisma of a main lead role. Maybe that is why he has been stucked for being a 2nd lead for a long time. This time, i don’t care if So Hyun gets paired up with a rookie for example Lee Do Hyun. Why? This drama will lean more in a melodrama genre as this is about a princess willing to do anything just for the throne therefore, we can expect a deep and emotional drama here. So we need someone who has that kind of charisma. Someone who can portray a deep role. Kim So Hyun can’t pull off the ratings alone. She needs to have a good partner in order for the drama to work out and have good ratings (if you want that). Also, If this is going to be a Rom Com drama, this would be just another ordinary drama. If it will lean into that genre, i don’t think it will leave an impact to the audience. It may be hyped for the moment but can be quickly forgotten.

kassi Oct 19 2020 12:27 am jisoo may not be super popular but he can do it through his acting skills. give him a chance yall. i think this drama is going to be BOP as long as the writer will not mess up the synopsis and the plot they released. they should make it female centric or make the female lead strong. they should not settle for less and produce the drama with a decent or high budget. they should promote it well too. promotion, storyline, acting sklls those are the key

siakn Oct 17 2020 9:22 pm reunion!! (if Jisoo accept), Kim So Hyun and Jisoo have played together on the Page Turner, Jisoo and Kang Ha Neul played together in Scarlet Heart: Ryeo. cant wait, definitely watch it I hope a happy ending for all of us, Jisoo wont be a Sadboy anymore (and then historical genres too)

Yooyeonan Oct 17 2020 10:49 am Oh, i really hope Jisoo will accept this role. I really like their chemistry from drama Page Turner. Let's reunion and have a happy ending together ❤️

waiti Oct 17 2020 1:34 am please release the article that jisoo is confirmed to be the male lead right now please! i can not wait anymore

Priyam Oct 16 2020 2:48 pm It's better if they cast Kang ha nuel and the male lead. I wanted Kang ha nuel & Kim so hyun to be in a historical fiction, but considering that he's being offered many roles at a time which is a good thing but also very tiring for him, it's better to have him as a special appearance

Rec Oct 16 2020 1:12 pm I feel like people are hating on my boy Ji Soo because of his current drama when I was the most beautiful(where he feels like a second lead again). I want to see him in a drama as the actual main lead so yes I support him even tho I I wanted Lee do hyun to be casted as main lead. Ji Soo is a really good actor and I hope he accepts the role.

thanie Oct 16 2020 5:30 am lee do hyun, he is super good in acting hope the producers can see his potential and cast him

Guuy Oct 15 2020 12:57 pm To those person who doesn't want ji soo to be male lead here watch one way trip/glory days that is first movie but the way he act is not like his first movie. Give ji soo a chance is a really a good actor.

malore Oct 15 2020 7:55 am super excited to see this drama, after so many years we are going to see Goguryeo again. hope that they will still follow the synopsis, i want a strong female lead.

khj Oct 14 2020 9:26 pm Woah! Can't believe Kang Ha Neul will be playing the male lead's father!

Jane Oct 14 2020 9:01 am Wow, I am just thinking about JiSoo since he has a build body and seems fit as On Dal, and suddenly I read Ji Soo has been offered the lead male... wow..

Juysun Oct 14 2020 8:45 am @Peachyy yeah I i dont know why they so against with ji soo on his first movie and he is the lead one way trip/glorydays he freaking nailed it. And yeah thankfully they not cast an idol because this is a heavy drama and I know ji soo is capable doing that. Please watch one way trip is a heavy movie too like this you can see there that ji soo will able to pull this drama off.

hashi Oct 14 2020 8:42 am Can lee do hyun be second lead please? let the visuals of the three lead explode!!

Peachyy Oct 14 2020 8:29 am Why are most of you against jisoo??! I’m actually really glad and happy he got the lead role rather than some idol actors though. He’s acting is not that bad too. Kim So Hyun,Jisoo fighting!!!

Tara Oct 13 2020 8:42 pm Yeah, a bit skeptical about Jisoo’s acting. I am sure Kim So Hyun can definitely slay the role especially i saw her acting in School 2015 and other historical dramas when she was young and adult. I was super hyped for the drama but then, Ji Soo news came out idk anymore. Ji Soo can play the stupid/dumb role of On Dal but i don’t think he can do well with deep emotion scenes, especially if this drama will feature a mature type of romance

Vivian Oct 13 2020 8:09 pm I'm so excited when I heard this new drama the storyline is also good... But it's flop when jisoo name came out...

DM Oct 13 2020 12:18 pm I was so happy hearing that this might be a drama w/ KHN & SYJ. the plot is so interesting & would potentially be a hit. But after hearing the new casting. I'm not so convinced any more. Though I'm not against JS & KSH But I Actually Hoped They'd Give This Role To A More Veteran & Trusted Actors :/

Junb Oct 13 2020 10:48 am @shayie watch one way trip

Nomnom Oct 13 2020 10:02 am What the heck! You guys love ji soo stopped being a second lead and now offer as main lead. please stop complaining and support him! I also love kim so hyun and they are both great actors!

shayie Oct 13 2020 9:28 am a reunion would be perfect but yeah not jisoo for this drama please, i think he needs to work more on expressions.. we all know that this drama can have a lot of emotional scenes, i think we need to give suggestions on the production team

Typical007 Oct 13 2020 6:42 am Oh noooo not Ji Soo pleaseeeee, I don't like how his mouth moves when he talks

konmari Oct 12 2020 11:31 pm If jisoo accepts the role, it will be a reunion. and I think he will be perfect for the role since in page turner he was kinda dumb when he was first trying to learn the piano

iamour.art Oct 12 2020 11:20 pm Jisoo offered the male lead Ondal and he is considering the offer

tunapie Oct 12 2020 7:59 am Hi Freya! just read your comment and it does make a lot of sense that On Dal might be much older than Pyeong Gang. I really hoped for Ha Neul he is really fit for the role but there is no more chance because he is busy, so i am hoping for Park Seo Joon, and other veteran actors that can work with So Hyun. Maybe Seo In Guk? Kim Soo Hyun? but they are too good to be true especially if this is a female centric drama, would be challenging for A list actors to accept it

Freya Oct 12 2020 7:31 am The story said the king used to threaten her daughter to Mary ondal the stupid whenever she cried... So it means that when the princess was young even the king know bout stupid ondal so ondal and the princess cannot be same age.. Ondal is obviously an older than princess.. So hope they don't cast some young skinny one...

Peachyy Oct 11 2020 11:42 pm Bro when will they release news about the male lead or other casts???! I’m tired of waiting it has been days since they released the news. I’m always on my phone refreshing my newsfeed to see if there’s any news about it. -_-

Pola Oct 11 2020 10:43 pm It’s a drama they are going to makeup the characters to fit their roles. They don’t need to cast a super ugly actor because of the comic. They can cast any actor and easily make him up to look poor. There’s nothing makeup can’t do!

It would be a dream come true to see Kim woo bin as ML but did he come back to acting yet???

Maya Oct 11 2020 9:46 pm What about Kim woobin... The story want said big body... Kim woobin will be perfect... Age gap doesn't matter if the chemistry is good

Jean Oct 10 2020 11:19 pm Of course, the screenwriter is not going to adapt everything from the orig story. Just like the FL. In the orig story, she is just a cry baby, it didn’t mentioned that she had great ambitions such as becoming the first empress of Goguryeo. In the story, On Dal might be poor. But as you can see from the plot released, On Dal’s father is actually a general (and this part is not adapted from the orig story) so maybe in the drama, they’ll probably choose a male lead with good body built and also good looks.

losldjhddh Oct 10 2020 9:29 pm but did u guys know that ondal is supposed to be ugly according to the tale? also, he’s poor. If they pick a male lead, i hope they find someone who has an ordinary look, looks poor, and not too handsome. Iff the male lead ends up being too perfect like what most of u guys suggested, it’s not ondal anymore lol... moreover, kang haneul is the father in the past, so it’s not that he’s too young to be a father, i think he only has a special appearance in the past where ondal is still a baby. Because in the tale of ondal and pyeonggang, ondal only lives with his blind mother and they are very pooooor. Picking someone who looks rich as ondal wouldnt make it ondal the poor anymore

Recommendations Oct 10 2020 9:20 pm Kwak dong yeon please or Lee Do hyun. Do hyun is really good.. he’s the Oppa from hotel del Luna and currently starring in 18 again. Do hyun looked so good in Hanbok in HDL... I need to see him in that outfit again please! He’s young and super good looking as well. Or Dong Yeon Oppa, he’s damn fine as well and such a Daebak actor. He’s got good built and can slay a warrior role please!

Maxein Oct 10 2020 9:16 pm No more chance for Ha Neul oppa to be the male lead? I would like to see him pair up with So Hyun so bad. I’m still hoping for him to be the lead.

Nina Oct 10 2020 7:53 pm Please just don't used skinny male as the story said big body and a favour warrior.... Anyway just used kang haneul as the lead only 9 age gap it's okay he's a bit young to be ondals father

Gia Oct 10 2020 7:15 pm D.o was good with her on Pure Love. But he is in military right? I dont know. Hope for someone who fresh, young, and of course good for historical drama. KSH is a great actress. She is young and her acting really good. The male lead must be someone who as strong as her in term of acting. I saw her chemistry with Kim Min Jae in GOBLIN. It was good too. Kim Min Jae still young and new.

sugi Oct 10 2020 7:04 pm guys! i have a recommendation.. idk if u know him. but go search up Kim Jae Young. he looks super duper hot on period costumes. if he can’t play on dal, i’d really love to see him as the second male lead. he’s super handsome aaack

Cumi Oct 10 2020 5:41 pm Kwak Dong Yong. I hope he will be the male lead ? jajajaja i cant wait for this drama specially when it been a long time i see my girl in screen.

Goguryeo setting kyaaaa i really like their costume and hair style.

luna Oct 10 2020 1:29 pm why are u guys recommending idols... (also why am i recommending DO?) director nim... just do seo kang joon, yoon si yoon, min jae, kwak dong yeon, park seo joon, jisoo, or you know someone who can match with ksy's acting. i dont mind do kyung soo even tho he's an idol because he's like one of the best actors out there, altho he doesnt look like haneul's son. age shouldn't matter as long as they look young or look good with ksy, just dont look at their birthdate :)

Gomez Oct 10 2020 7:26 am If the male lead of the story was big body then who would be a korean big body male actor .. Lucas nct will be good but park seo joon also will be fit for it

ssouri Oct 10 2020 3:18 am I wonder who the male lead would be. I wished for Park Bo Gum but he is currently in the military. So Seo Kang Joon or Kim Min Jae my best choice for now since age gap isn’t too big between them.

goodstoryneverdie Oct 10 2020 3:10 am is it okay to wish Kim Min Jae as the main lead. Their chemistry in Goblin was super. I love his voice tone, feels good for historical things.

darara Oct 10 2020 2:56 am I thought Ha Neul was the main lead hhohohoho... Kim Min jae will be great for this Saeguk. Or maybe Yeo Jin Goo. I hope someone that around her age (young adult).

Lala Oct 10 2020 2:53 am Kim Min Jae for lead man maybe?? :)

tutu Oct 10 2020 2:47 am Or maybe the ondal from the kdrama my only love song? XD

tutu Oct 10 2020 2:42 am Lmao. I just saw ysy, and i think it would be a fun idea to have him as Ondal! I mean, he’ played different roles before, if you guys haven’t seen it. I think he’s played all type of roles, and not just the dumdum ondal type of role, so if he plays ondal, i wont get tired of him. I just find it amazing how he can play a really bad guy one sec and then a very good guy in like a blink of an eye. Although my fave role of him is when he’s a bad guy, so... if he cant be Ondal, how about a villain here? Hahaha. Now I’m curious how he’d look like with Kim So Hyun! I love that girl so much. And I just cant wait to watch this show. Hopefully, they don’t pair her with an idol. I prefer they pair her with an actor, whether or not it’s Yoon Shi Yoon or whoever would fit this role... I was thinking someone who would resemble Kang Haneul since he’s Ondal’s father, right?

gangmiji Oct 09 2020 9:28 pm i don't like yoon si yoon because if he'll be the lead, he'll be playing the same roles which he did in his previous dramas it would be too tiring to watch him acting dumb again. So, my top recommendation is Seo Kang Jun, it would be nice to offer this to actors like him bc we need to give them a chance to show their versatility as an actor.

About the story, I hope they will not fully adapt the original story because it says that Pyeong Gang is a cry baby. I hope they'll make her a strong female lead and hopefully see her in warrior costumes. Would love to see her skills doing action scenes, Just hope the writer won't ruin this drama. I also hope we can see her fulfill her ambitions for Goguryeo and become the empress.

Tbh, i wouldn't mind if this drama would be emotional or tragic as what the other articles say. It's been so long since i've watched some real serious drama set in Goguryeo so I hope production company will take this opportunity. I hope theyll explore more genres and not just romance. Oh pleasr i beg u screenwriternim, don't just focus on romance.

Pls Oct 09 2020 9:10 pm Honestly guys I don’t mind Yoon Shi yoon being the lead. I love that dude so much he literally slays any role. Kim Min Jae as lead would also be perfect but he’s always acting as a prince or noble in historical dramas so I wonder if he can pull the role.

Choi woo shik is definitely top of my recommendation. Pls cast Woo shik Oppa Jaebal!

Grace Oct 09 2020 7:42 pm @Keilani

Hahaha I'd say YSY is really good at acting too not only in role of dumb and stupid guy ? Anyway, I'm just glad that he's on ppl recommendations because he's so lit!

Keilani Oct 09 2020 12:08 pm Unpopular opinion: I wanna say yoo seung ho but he’s better at acting like a prince or a king. How about yoon shiyoon? I know he’s a bit older but he looks young, and he’s good at acting dumb and stupid like ondal lol

chlinday Oct 08 2020 11:55 pm Since So hyun got the FL, I want the ML to be D.O. or maybe Sungjae but then again they are serving in the military. So I hope Kim Min Jae will be casted (their chemistry in Goblin is so great yet it was so short)

baeudi Oct 08 2020 7:34 am HaNeul doesn’t look really old, tbh i want him to be the male lead. i don’t see any problem with the age bc it is just a drama. in fact, these kind of age gaps between couple actually happen in real life. it’s just sad that he’s going to be busy so he had to turn down the offer

Kimsohyun&choiwooshik Oct 08 2020 7:12 am Choi woo shik please

Kim taehyung as male lead plsss Oct 08 2020 7:00 am Kim taehyung as ondal pls

peng0628 Oct 08 2020 2:32 am Kim Tae-hyung as male lead please!!!!

Wew Oct 07 2020 8:36 am Of haneul if just a cameo in it then i suggest choi woo shik will be the best potray of ondal..hehehe

xuan ji Oct 07 2020 7:52 am It’s super rare to see a drama set in Goguryeo. I really expect a lot of things from this drama and i sense that this one is going to blew up. I just hope that the writer will let SoHyun show her fighting skills and don’t let the drama be all about romance only. I had enough RomCom. Maybe it’s okay to have romance on the side but i don’t want the story to just revolve around it. Let’s just see how this one unfolds since plot sounds very interesting. Production team will also play a big part in this especially on how they will dress the cast. Hopefully we’ll be able to see them in a warrior costume as it is very uncommon to see it in historical dramas. I just want SoHyun to wear it LOL. Okay anyway, it has getting too much attention nowadays. I just hope that the writer won’t disappoint.

Lee Seohwa Oct 07 2020 12:41 am Choose Ahn Bo Hyun as her bodyguard or a second male lead too if there’s kind of character in that drama.

Ladies Oct 06 2020 11:12 pm its kinda funny when they announce special appearance first than the male lead. it shows how much they want haneul to be appeared in their drama (the production team). anw its bad that haneul rejected the offer of being lead but he want to get a rest so i'm okay. i hope this drama will do well since kim so hyun's dramas never fails me!

Dee Oct 06 2020 8:43 pm Wait a sec! On Dal? On Hyeob (special appearance)! What???? Lol seems like I got too excited for no reason! Awww Kang Ha Neul is not the male lead

Dee Oct 06 2020 8:40 pm Wow the story is intriguing. I woman way ahead of her time dreaming to be king. I love love it! My adorable So hyun and Ha Neul Oppa OMg! I feel like I’ve been waiting for this pair in like forever! Can’t wait to see them both on my screen slaying their roles and looking fine in those historical outfits.

Looking forward to 2021

KimSoHyunFanboy Oct 06 2020 3:13 pm Queen Kim So Hyun, the Goddess of Historical Dramas, is back! The drama sounds so epic! And I'm so glad to see So Hyun in another badass role, I'm sure she'll nail this one perfectly, as usual! So excited who's going to be the male lead! Is there any chance for Yoo Seung Ho? Really hoping they'll get paired up again. If not, Kim Min Jae or Lee Hyun Woo would be great! Too bad Yang Se Jong is in military, he would be a great choice too, I think. Anyway, go go go So Hyunnie, we're rooting for you! Fighting!

Psaroj2007 Oct 06 2020 7:49 am A lady boss drama.

Mansi Singhal Oct 06 2020 4:25 am What a good character kimsohyun again going to do?

Lovina Oct 06 2020 3:56 am The plot sounds so promising and good & the fact that it's female centric oofff my girl kim sohyun can finally show more of her actings into it. On a side note i really hope they don’t cast an idol as the male lead ...

Peachyy Oct 06 2020 3:51 am The male character is kind of dumb & stupid and for actors that can play this role, i believe jisoo, choi wooshik & lee kwangsoo can act It perfectly. Would’ve added lee dohyun but he got casted in a new drama so it’s impossible for him to be casted :/

Doris Oct 06 2020 3:00 am WAIT a minute. ? Kang Ha-neul doesn’t have a main role??? Now I’m disappointed ? I wonder who the male lead will be. ? Anyway the plot still sounds good.

Sohyun Oct 06 2020 2:49 am I hope kwak dong yeon would be the lead.

Jane Oct 06 2020 2:21 am I really wish kang haneul as a male lead tbh, not just special appearance.. Kim So Hyun fighting!!!!

Ayesha Oct 06 2020 12:23 am Cant wait for it! Lets goo kim sohyun

Peachyy Oct 05 2020 10:08 pm Yayy super excited !!! Can’t wait for it !!! Love you Kim SoHyun <3
