Notes

"River Where the Moon Rises" takes over KBS2's Monday & Tuesday 21:30 time slot previously occupied by "Royal Secret Agent" and followed by "Youth of May" on May 3, 2021.
Screenplay is based on "Tale of On Dal" folk tale, which is contained in historical record "Samguk Sagi" (The History of the Three Kingdoms of Korea). "Samguk Sagi" was compiled by Kim Bu-Sik and published in 1145.
Actor Ji Soo dropped out of the drama series after multiple people online accused him of bullying them during their school days. Actor Na In-Woo will replace Ji Soo and play On Dal from ep.7.

Comments

Pam Arsenault May 30 2026 7:08 pm I loved the male lead. ( Actor as well as character)Did not find one endearing quality in female lead. I would pass on this one ...wish I had and I am a big Asian drama fan.

mmlet Jan 19 2025 12:22 pm Probably one of the worst historical dramas out there.

Zee Nov 05 2024 6:39 am Rewatching. Kim So Hyun did amazing in this drama, the action scene, and everything else. I cannot stop thinking how would Ji Soo portray On Dal 'til the end 'cause I think he has better chemistry with So Hyun more than In Woo. Although, I am grateful for In Woo's portrayal too.

Go Gun, the King, and everyone else worked hard! Still one of the best Historical drama on my list!

Mi-ri Oct 08 2024 3:06 pm I'm only on episode 4 but already Ji-Hoon is stealing the show and eating up the screen, and I am way more invested in Go Gun's relationship with the princess than in On Dal's. This is not surprising--he did the same thing in Rooke Historian.

Anemim Jul 20 2024 3:03 pm This series is so underated, l just finished to watch it is so amazing.And one of the best k-dram historical drama ever

Park Min Dec 29 2023 5:43 pm River Where the Stars Fizzle Away. The story suffered from erratic pacing, cramming too many plots that made it hard keep any interesting narrative. The characters were a simulated circus clown that kept making foolish moves intentionally at every turn. Might explains why it's 20 episodes. The childish love square was another contributor in that regard. Na In Woo's portrayal felt strained, his expressions, intonations, inflections, and emotions seemingly forced to fit the character mold. Comparing it to the original version, it seems there was a notable disparity. Checked a couple of scenes side by side, there's a clear difference in the delivery, as big as expressing an entirely different emotion of the exact same scene. I wonder what was the director even doing? The lack of chemistry with his colleagues was obvious too. He was called to fill in a role on a quick notice with so little to work with in the first place. All of that didn't compare to the abysmal last episode, and even worse, the detestable last scene.

Lila Nov 22 2023 12:25 am Na In-Woo totally rocked in this drama!

Jenn Oct 20 2023 6:11 am This drama trended again after My Lovely Liar of kim so hyun drama. I also come to watch this is viu. I must say that this is a master piece the best Drama that I've watched for history. Every episode is so good. I have found out that it has an issue on recasting new Ondal. I must say that Na In Woo is super duper superb actor. He is born and meant to be Ondal. There is a hugr difference for the character to think that most of it are adlib. He is super smart to memorise and form a script in his head on the spot together with his act. As a writer myself. I am very particular critic of their acting for each character and even research for the story. I must say that In Woo delivers perfectly his character with thosr natural acting and of course kim so hyun too for portraying 3 characters and have to re shoot everything again. I feel so sad for Ondal , I cried for his character. I've got attached to thier bond and their character. The chemistry is soo good. The acting is natural. Their journey is so magical and emotional. So hyun looks good in all of her leading man but I kust say that this tandem is her best chemistry like Yin and Yang, perfect balance and perfect combination. I become an avid fan after watching this for Insso. Really hoping that they will work together or they should date for real. They are perfect couple. In woo looks manly handsome smart humble and soyoun is so pretty and nice. Don't waste time pls date for real Insso.

Huin Oct 03 2023 2:27 pm This is one of the best historical drama that I've watched so far. Just watched this in viu. Kim So hyun is so beautiful on this drama. My first drama to see her. Cant take away my eyes on her. She is like those beautiful chinese in traditional warrior actually. Iv'e been in love with their story and Ondal. They are like beauty princess and the beast giant warrior of Ondal. They can actually pass as Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu in Return of Condor Heroes. Kim so hyun can pass as Fairy Warrior as she is soo beautiful in traditional specially in white. I just notice here angelic face after watching this drama.

FM Aug 23 2023 3:57 pm Overall, I really enjoyed this drama. However, I kind of wish they ended it at episode 17, before the 4 year time jump. I really loved KSH and NIW in this. I wasn't a Lee Ji Hoon fan before, even though I had seen him in some past shows, but he was great here. This drama has made me into a fan of his now.

I totally agree with a previous comment by SageGrace that the casting of King Yeongyang was terrible. First of all, he had absolutely no resemblance to the Crown Prince and he was (and looked) too old to play the part of KSH's younger sibling.

Claire May 03 2023 6:37 am I like this series but honestly I would've loved it more if they didn't change the ML. I felt so disappointed when I noticed that. Na Im Woo tried though but not to my liking

Sheva diamond Mar 30 2023 2:52 pm I recently just started the movie ,was at the beginning of season 7,when ah noticed mah Ji soo was replaced by another of mah favourite actor Na im woo,this is the first movie am seeing my Ji soo playing the lead role buh ah feel that the role of on dal with kim so hyun as lovers,best suits actor Ji soo to actor Na im woo,it made the movie worth skipping meals for,really i dont know hw to continue the movie i shout out to all korean actress and actors especially JI SOO , wish to see u more in movies or more ,best of luck, oppa,fighting

ahn Dec 21 2022 5:10 am its better than i expected. even tho the production got some problem, the did it well. both Jisoo and Inwoo actually portrayed On Dal really well. Kim Sohyun look really cool in this drama. and i found Go Gun - Mo Yong relationship quite interesting.

Du Oct 23 2022 9:00 pm I would really like to see the entire original version.

Morchy Oct 17 2022 6:44 am Wow,this drama is so good Na Inwoo and Kim Sohyun chemistry is very good don't hesitate to watch it please all actors were so good

Maisarah Jun 06 2022 3:23 am Just finished watching this series. It is an amazing & breathtaking series! Na In Woo is On Dal. Period I love all character chemistries. All the best to all casts for their next project ^^.

MissA May 30 2022 4:41 am I never managed to finish this. I see that Na in Woo got the chance to shoot all scenes from the very beginning so I will give it a chance.

najah Apr 29 2022 10:48 pm rewatched this drama in less than a day since i've forgotten the fact that they did a reshoot of eps 1-6 with Inwoo and omg it was so great!! My re-watch is better than the first time I've watched it. it's like I've watched the drama the first time again ^^ also, It's like Inwoo ssi is meant for this role, as On Dal. Jisoo is great of course and so is Inwoo. He gave justice to the role and again (I will never get tired of saying) kudos to the whole staff, crew and casts of this drama. this is a masterpiece!! manifesting for another sohyun x inwoo drama because their chemistry is amazing though it was a sudden change of ML. might re-watch it for the 3rd again ig ksks

Kiohla Mar 22 2022 2:38 am I actually started watching this series because of the lead casts but I stopped when I found out Ji Soo was gonna be replaced by Na In Woo. Why do Korea always have to care about wat people say, it's annoying that KBS got intimidated and had to replace Jisoo because they are gonna lost many viewers

KST Jan 11 2022 3:40 am I just finished watching this series yesterday. It was really amazing as I expected. Its full of action and romance. I watched this because I like kim so hyun. However I was really disappointed watching this series because Ji soo was replaced by Na in woo. Actually I feel very sorry for ji soo. Anyway Na in woo's acting was not bad. Ji soo's replacement Na in woo was not disappointed. Na in woo has done justice for On dal's role. Kim so hyun too acts very beautifully here as usual. All the other actors too act very expertly. Kim so hyun and Na in woo has a great chemistry between them. Anyway this drama's story and acting is superb . I only feel sorry for ji soo. I miss him very badly. Hope to see you soon. I recommend this drama to all kdrama lovers who like watching historical dramas!

xinmi Nov 01 2021 7:22 am Queen Yeon, she look like Kang Ha Na

Mashi Oct 27 2021 12:18 pm Na In Woo's acting was amazing in this drama. He should have been casted from the beginning. I think, more than Jisoo, Na In Woo is fit as On Dal.

TardisBlue369 Oct 23 2021 7:01 pm Did they reshoot early episodes with Na In-Woo?

Eight Oct 04 2021 5:19 am 10 /10 Periodt

Jayne Sep 12 2021 10:55 am Totally binge watched whole series. Couldnt wait to see how the story unfolded. Great main leads. Well done all.

underrated gems Sep 01 2021 11:34 pm 7/10

beomie Aug 24 2021 10:36 pm I bet sooo many people glad that Na Inwoo took over the male lead role. His acting is So Good and his chemistry with the female lead is The Best. I cried so hard on the last part where fl cried in front of the "dead" ml. Not to forget The Kim Sohyun herself has done a very good job on this one, ngl. Her action scene is so great and her in armor uniform is A Bae.

Also love the second couple's chemistry too. The girl doesn't seem old at all I thought she's younger than Lee Jihoon. Anyways kudos to all casts and staffs for their hard work to reshoot all the episodes with new male lead. This drama deserves to win awards this year!!

Yourfavcommentator Aug 22 2021 10:26 pm This drama is great, i does make me anxiety almost every single eps because the tensions and situation main characters in.. overall great, the romance is kinda cute

SageGrace Aug 18 2021 3:43 pm End result ~ Excellent drama for cast and crew, triumphant in every way. So many superb, over the top performances.

I did have one issue with King Yeongyang. In just a matter of 4 years - he was 10 years older than his older sister ! And, 5 years older than his older brother-in-law. Not good casting – it showed.

Kim So-Hyun ~ Beyond impressive, so very-very well done !

Na In-Woo ~ this was a big performance for you, and Wow … you were Magnificent.

Git Jul 30 2021 8:19 am I watched this show form the beginning and was only focused on So-hyun's amazing acting as Pyeonggang and her goal to become a queen, I skipped the romance part straight to the action and politics...until Na In Woo comes along and made the lead characters chemistry magical, So-hyun's and In-woo's acting blew my mind and I was hooked with this drama and have rewatched it multiple times already. Insso Supremacy

I Jul 25 2021 4:55 pm I like acting Kim Soo Hyun .

Z Jul 22 2021 11:26 am Na in woo choosing to act in this drama proves that he he has a big heart and how much he cares about acting. As the project future was uncertain but still he decides to step in without caring about his image. How he respects his costars and other staffs on the team and how in short time he has to prepare for his role is commendable. Seriously I feel so bad for all the members on this team, who have to work extra under this stressful situation and even without getting paid in this pandemic. All the casts did a good job. So this drama will be always special to me from starting to end. I enjoyed watching rwtmr. Ondal and pyeonggang, their story is full of up and downs but beautifully portrayed by actors. Especially I love dalgang and ondal's mother. She's Savage. This only shows na in woo and Kim so hyun are professional actors, who take their job seriously. Such kind of people deserves all love, support and respect.

zj bejar Jul 19 2021 2:48 am I have reservations before watching this series since I'm used to seeing Kim So-hyun in high school dramas but OH MY.. she was so Awesomely Perfect on her role as a assassin-warrior-princess Pyeonggang here!!! I won't be able to recognize her if I watch RWTMR first before her other dramas.

Kim So-hyun's versatility as an actress is truly boundless that you can't help but be drawn to each character she portrays. Her dedication and commitment to her craft, especially in this series with all the hardships she, the rest of the casts, director, filming crews, staff faced during the filming/completion of this project is truly admirable and deserves respect. She's one of a kind. Just try to watch the behind the scenes of the reshoots and you'll be amazed on how professional she was while still sending good vibes and happiness to those around her.

As to the story, it was beautifully written that aside from making the retelling of the Tale of On Dal and Princess Pyeonggang so lovely and inspiring, will also keep you guessing and excited for the next episodes because of how the story develops along with the other main characters. Each Episode Is A Masterpiece (For Me)

Part folktale, part political-historical, and part romance, River Where the Moon Rises is one of 2021 Korean dramas that one shouldn't miss!!!

Shining journey Jul 18 2021 11:36 pm I really like this drama. From Kim So Hyun character to her chemistry with all casts. She's amazing actress and i believe she gonna hit super big if she continues playing in good drama. Special mention to Na In Woo who really shined as On Dal. Casting Na In Woo as On Dal was a God's work. I hope RWTMR casts will win a lot awards at the end of year. They are going through a lot.

Tcaavr Jul 18 2021 7:43 am So hyun and inwoo chemistry areee amazing, love this drama!!!

Mansi Singhal Jul 18 2021 7:18 am Kimsohyun is slaying it , indeed the best actress

Kate Jul 18 2021 6:10 am I started watching this drama since Na In Woo appearance. His chemistry with KSH is Overflowing

My Cat has a good taste Jul 06 2021 6:25 am I just started watching it till ep 9 but I can honestly say, I hate their stylish . I know On Dal was supposed to be poor and all but I can't say Na In Woo is suited for the role.I've seen his acting in Mr Queen and I prefer him being an evil nobleman instead of a poor country bumpkin .I prefer General Go(Lee Ji Hoon) in every way possible . Logically speaking if Pyeongang felt terrible on what she did, she wouldn't fall in love with On Dal right?

So Pyeongang's Father killed General On Hyeop (On Dal's Dad), so why is Pyeongang pissed of with our General Go, cause his father killed her mother? Their tribe? *annoyed face*

Emily Jun 26 2021 1:01 am Season 2 pleaseeee?

Kayleigh Jun 25 2021 9:16 am I love this show the story is so good! I'm rewatching the episodes from the start with the new lead who is much better than ji soo. If this has bad ratings and reviews it's due to the ji soo fans who support bullying and are giving it bad reviews. I love kim so hyun and na in woo together also hats of to the other cast and crew who worked so well. This drama is perfect the script is 10/10. I also love kang ha neul ? even though his role was small in the show it was worth it. I'm from UK and I just love kdramas thanks to netflix. If you are from UK/Europe and liked empress ki, mr queen, mr sunshine dramas like that you will like this show.

Jammer Jun 20 2021 2:31 pm I don't know what have you seen in na in woo his acting was so lame and forced and the worst no chemistry with kim so hyun...na in woo acting was so annoying...he better play a villainous role it suits him better like the one in mr. queen... I hope not to see him again in a major role hahaha... well i'm just being honest so my apologies to his followers

hush Jun 15 2021 8:12 am on dal (na in woo) and the princess had no chemistry at all so disappointing

mac Jun 09 2021 10:45 pm I really wished jisoo still played on dal

merish May 31 2021 9:15 am i really love this drama.in woo was really really better than pervious one he is cute strong and kind i was surprised because it was mg first time that i had seen him now im big fan of him he got nomination in baeksang which is so important he just acted in one month without any practice and script reading no one can do this who said jisoo was better and it suits him better is so poor and just blind his acting was so bad it is proven because he hasnt lead roll in 12 years?

Hyperborea May 29 2021 12:43 am Na In Woo was great in mr Queen and even better in River.... new talent! Drama is very good. 12 points - in Eurovision style..

Jenn May 25 2021 6:44 am I’m just gonna say I don’t understand how the script makes any logical sense…seems like child’s play Also the romance came out of nowhere for me lol However good job to 2nd ml LJH his acting was convincing And big shoutout to KHN

Irru Kenzo May 21 2021 6:40 am It would still be okay if jisoo performed On Dal. Unfortunately, I lost my appetite to finish when others performed On Dal.

James May 18 2021 1:08 pm excellent story for the first 19 1/2 episodes -- last 1/2 hour big disappointment.......

Grrr May 15 2021 7:15 am I ship go gun and hae mo yong so much here..idk why but i love their scene together..just cannot skip it..even i started to notice that their line was so cliche and seems weird for me, i still rooted them forever..hahaha

And for na in woo, i did not expect you are very suitable to bring this character..it seems like soo hyun has more chemistry with you than jisoo..well i did not know the story behind but im glad i honna love you now.

yeomgajin May 07 2021 5:51 am I thought ondal is dead but it give me suprise hahaha he is alive gajin will not be left behind thats so sad if it happens. I love kim sohyun and her dramas ❤.

Eneri May 02 2021 4:43 am One of the best sageuk i've ever seen..it clutches at your heart and endears you to the characters..i love all of them! Even Go Geon and Mo Yong. Na In Woo surprises me with his acting and he has great chemistry with Kim So Hyun. Would like to see them again in another drama, probably rom-com. They have this feel-good aura about them, and makes you smile without you even knowing it. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up as a real-life couple. I definitely ship them! : )

Pacoon Apr 30 2021 7:57 am The last chapters are very bad. A character goes crazy and sees the dead mother. Another character as a young man was half silly, and when he is older he is ruthless and it is not known why. Another character dies and then lives; and another in a few hours, learn the same. And a girl who acts like an old woman.

VeeVeeVee Apr 29 2021 7:33 pm @dal It’s a new dog. Dalgang grew up as the episodes progressed and it was implied that the little girl took it with them to the capital. The new dog at the finale was just a puppy, even smaller than Dalgang in ep 1.

dal Apr 28 2021 2:36 pm is it just me wondering how many years have passed but the dog didn't even grow old?

Naa korkoi Apr 27 2021 6:06 pm Just started watching.will be come back when am done to review but so far so good.dont worry will be back.@ episode 4

fans kdrama Apr 21 2021 11:48 am the best kdrama ever ?❤️

Jash Apr 21 2021 6:46 am My Mon-Tue habit is already finished. Great drama with great ensemble of casts, crew and prod. Kim So hyun's bawling scene is one of a kind. She really deserves the baeksang nomination so as Na Inwoo..Saddened for Go Geon's death but I think he's finished with his purpose. If the series ended with how it happened in history, I was okay with it but the writer kind of make a creative way of how Ondal would be alive. I would say this is Kim So hyun's best historical drama so far and probably one of the best historical dramas out there. It may not be as hyped as the recent hit dramas like Penthouse but it remains the number 1 in its time slot.

Hats off to everyone involved in this phenomenal series and hope that actors like Lee Hi Hoon,Choi Yuhwa, Kim Heejung and others would be recognized and given another great projects in which they'll be leading...

Keytie Apr 21 2021 6:45 am Despite all the ups and downs faced by this drama, they pulled it perfectly. one of the best historica dramas i’ve watched and Kim So-Hyun was excellent as always and Na In Woo was very impressive as On Dal given the circumstances on how he was cast. Really love their chemistry and quite a cinematography and story, nicely done. Gonna miss this drama. This is worth your time

LoveKimSoHyun Apr 17 2021 12:04 pm It's been a while since I enjoyed a historical drama, the characters don't lack depth and even though it took me some time to get used to the new lead, he's great at portraying legendary On Dal The Fool. However, the time skip three episodes before the end kind of bothers me - it makes the ending seem rushed, but maybe they needed some events to take place in order to finish the storyline. In any case, Princess Pyeonggang is a very admirable female character, I love how her two arcs and duties (being a princess and being an assassin) collide and make her at the same time indecisive and fascinating. Like, you can actually see what being a killer did to her as well as that it's not easy to give up such mindset even if for a man who wants you to leave that behind for your own safety.

Ice Apr 15 2021 10:17 am Since the male lead changed, I started to ship Yeom Gajin and Go Gun.❤

Kate Apr 13 2021 7:51 pm All this time, Go Geun still loves the Princess despite everything. I thought he has forgotten about her already based on how he treated Hae MoYong. I'm their shipper from the start knowing it's impossible for them to happen. It would have been great if he moved on already but knowing his feelings never alter just proves that love cannot be forced even if it involves hatred and betrayal.

Mansi Singhal Apr 13 2021 12:41 am Congratulations to the lead for the Baeksang Nominations.

Typical007 Apr 12 2021 7:16 pm Why suddenly her brother became evil?? I dislike how On Dal's character developed, he has became more emotional and coward and they called him a general?!

Tari Apr 12 2021 8:04 am i was drawn into the story but getting annoyed by the latest episode ending suddenly fast forwarded by 4 years and prince won becoming evil. i'm a tired viewer watching all the evil characters coming from inside. also, i understand on dal's background and reasons why he finally left palace but his personality is just coward for me. after all he can do for a nation with so much trouble, he just want to find peace for himself and left ga jin struggling

tosh Apr 12 2021 3:24 am Who would have thought a drama who suffered a controversy because of a male lead will receive one of the most prestigious nomination in Korea. The saying is true, there is a rainbow after the storm. No one saw it coming. Well-deserved! Congratulations everyone.

flora Apr 11 2021 8:30 pm kim so hyun and na in woo are nominated for Baeksang awards they truely deserve that our sohyun is the youngest nominee in the catagary I'm soooooo happy

irene Apr 11 2021 5:34 am Pyeonggang and Ondal story is very warming to watch but it also comes with pain and sorrows. It reflects of the life and love of youths in the modern times, that life is not all about butterflies and sunshines, it also comes with storms and that is one of the things that I learned in the recent episodes. There are certain things that changes one’s relationship because of higher priorities and responsibilities, a sad fact but also a reality.

The story of the main leads are very good and relatable for me. Sometimes, there is a need for sacrifice for a greater good, but both of them still find time to understand each other (ex: they had date amidst the happenings in the palace, an open talk about their situation aka the bath scene) and On Dal is there willingly giving support to his partner and in the process, also gets awaken for the needs of his country. A general and a princess who fights together and works together.

Meanwhile, their story is balanced with another interesting loveline—MoYong and GoGeon. They have an interesting tension which magnetized viewers on screen.

Overall, as this drama nears its end, I wanted to say that at the beginning, I never thought that I would become this very attached. I have watched a lot of historicals but I must say that this is something that will be long engraved in my heart. This may not be hyped everywhere, only a few watch this series or it might not be everyone’s taste but I am thankful that I found such a wonderful work. It might not be perfect, but totally worth to invest time.

nadia Apr 09 2021 10:34 am KSH and NIW are the best part of this drama. Their chemistry is off the charts and they bring their characters to life. The folktale lives and breathes through them and KSH is the new Action Queen.

Nilgün Apr 09 2021 9:15 am I'm obsessed with this drama because of second lead couple. Their chemistry is amazing. I'm shipping them since mid December,their first still cuts made me desperate shipper, we come a long way. I'm still unsure about Go Geon's feelings while Hae Mo Yong is clearly in love. They're villains so their death is coming, my only wish in this situation they must die together. I can't accept seperate deaths or broken relationship. Thanks to whoever casted Lee Ji Hoon and Choi Yu Hwa for these roles.

Mansi Singhal Apr 08 2021 9:24 pm Jil what a funny comment. Get list

Fai Apr 08 2021 1:23 pm I shall wait for the refilming for the first six episode

Jil Apr 08 2021 8:30 am So many holes in the story.

Not worth watching.

Julie Apr 07 2021 10:10 pm At first It’s so weird for me when the main lead changed. I was thinking that Ji soo is really fits with the drama. But as I watch it continuously I can say Na In Woo, is more fit! Especially when he became a general and Princesse’s husband. It really fits him. I can’t imagine now if Jisoo was on the lead. Na In Woo has that character to be general. His physical being and character are there. He nailed it. As the drama goes on, it becomes more interesting! You won’t expect who are the enemies in the end!!!! Must watch!!!!!

Nelly Apr 07 2021 9:07 am I like this so very much . Acting is so amazing in all cast. Love both 1st lead couple and 2nd lead couple . I like both Jisoo and In Woo as Dal.

ND Apr 07 2021 8:57 am Cannot stand the new On Dal man!! What a buzz killer...it was so off!!

Kim Sso Apr 07 2021 7:32 am This drama gonna be play in the Emmy Award. The first ever Korean Historical drama that ever make it there.. congratulations team RWTMR!! You guys deserved this!! Lots of love for this team!

Typical007 Apr 07 2021 12:07 am On Dal is scaredy-cat. Doesn't deserved the title general

Melanie Apr 06 2021 7:35 am Does anybody know when they film the show at MBC park, yongin.

I would love to see them while filming.

Suweera Apr 05 2021 10:15 am I love Inwoo and Sohyun couple, their chemistry.

Go gun Line Apr 05 2021 2:51 am Why i feel Ga Jin more well-suited with Go Gun?? My heart really pain to see his one side love..T_T

xxjustme Apr 02 2021 12:54 pm I cant wait to watch refilm of ep 1-6 and then I can finally tell myself that why didnt I like him earlier? Since Day 1 I’m already attached to old On Dal. I just cant get the hype from people who says replacement did so much better? Really? Im asking genuinely. So I look forward for the refilm. Even watching spoilers from ig, I cant feel anything for the main couple. Sad.

Sf9 Apr 02 2021 11:36 am I really love na in woo I watched all of his drama but ji soo was more suitable for this role I know that he done such an awful thing for other ppl which is unforgettable but when we talk about his talent no one can say that in woo is better than him

Shai Apr 01 2021 9:08 pm Kim So Hyun did great in this drama. The battle scene is really awesome for me. It is well done. I can compare to the battle scene of movies like Crouching tiger hidden dragon. Though CTHD was in a larger scale. However for a tv series this battle scene is pretty awesome. The director, production crews and actors did a great job. KUDOS!

Soseji Mar 30 2021 9:40 pm True at first it was kinda awkward with Inwoo as Ondal but now mamamia~ I LOVE Inwoo's Ondal than Jisoo's. Especially that duck lips! It's true what they said, don't quickly judge a book by its cover. Shame for those who drop the show just because they don't like the new Ondal without giving him a chance and only saw like what less than 5 minutes of Inwoo's part when he was first introduced? And those who gave a chance but still want to drop the show, go on bud. Nobody give a damn. Can't wait for the redo episodes to come out. Serve those people who can't move on from Jisoo's Ondal right!

Kate Mar 30 2021 8:11 pm It's great that this series survives after all the mess. Just happy that this receives attention in and out of their country. This was sold to 190 countries and a great start for the first Viu original. The casts are working hard and it would finally pay off. Kim So hyun' Love Alarm( 1st Netflix kdrama original) is also shown in more than 100 countries. She really proves being one of the Hallyu stars.

Mansi Singhal Mar 30 2021 5:30 am @N great joke , literally laughing at your comment . Keep it up.

N Mar 30 2021 3:31 am I like old On Dal (Ji Soo) more. What is past is past, why bring the issues (immature time) now? while he is acting very well. People change by time. So sad.

Ari Mar 29 2021 6:07 pm Is this recommended? Cz kim so-hyun has played 3 roles

Tari Mar 29 2021 9:01 am ep 13 pace was reeeaaalllyy fast. i like happy ending, but how does the supposed 'impossible war' looks so easy. and how does information between parties relayed veerrryyy quickly when there is distance between places. anyway, i'm still captured by the flow of the story. the king got sooo much enemies so i'm rooting for him. i look forward to how the story will unfold. still can't figure out whether go gun and mo yong is just another villain

Mansi Singhal Mar 29 2021 5:15 am It's Man not men

Mansi Singhal Mar 29 2021 5:15 am Kimsohyun literally Doing amazing Actions in each and every episode no doubt she is getting so many praises by Kneitzs for her brilliant Acting , action + swords kills , calling her chemistry queen + praising her natural beauty as she is wearing bare minimum makeup

sunny Mar 28 2021 7:21 pm Men really ruin this show. Jisoo issue, and Na Inwoo can’t even portray Ondal properly... I’m still watching for Sohyun but if the acting of the main hero still suck, I’m just gonna drop. And the plot isn’t getting better too like??? Maybe I had high expectation idk

Dahn Mar 28 2021 5:00 am Starting like Na In Woo as On Dal on Episode 9. ???

nini Mar 28 2021 3:24 am looking forward to watch this now that they're re-filming ep. 1 to 6!! i was hesitant at first bc i dont wanna see that bully..

Dahn Mar 28 2021 1:22 am I ship Go Gun and Pyong Gang. ???

J Mar 27 2021 8:42 am Im so sad that jisoo was replaced, i like the drama when jisoo play the role, im still like jisoo to play on dal ??

v Mar 27 2021 7:44 am It takes a lot of getting used to, watching Na Inwoo as Dal. He's a good replacement actor but I can't shake off how Jisoo portrayed the character just yet. I guess it's a big challenge when someone steps in as a replacement. But Sohyun is doing so well as expected. Overall, the drama is relatively well done.

KST Mar 26 2021 6:05 am I am a huge fan of kim-so hyun.she is such an amazing talened actress who began her carrier as a child artist.She can act both as a violent and an innocent. I have also seen ji-soo 's acting in some dramas like strong girl bong soon and moon lovers scarlet heart rhyo.As it is said that he was replaced by the actor Na in-woo I hope to watch this drama river where the moon rises with a new face. This will be my first time seeing him on screen. Hope to watch RWTMR soon as it has an amazing plot and cast!!!!

KST Mar 25 2021 7:56 pm I am a huge fan of Kim so-hyun. I have watch almost all of her dramas. I have watched two ji soo's drama:strong girl bong soo and moon lovers scarlet hert rhyeo. It is said that ji soo was replaced by Na in woo. This will be my first watching Na in woo in a drama. However I hope this will be more interesting hitorical drama by looking at the cast and plot. Though the male lead is replaced I expect this drama will be more fun! Hope to watch this soon!

Curiousity Mar 24 2021 9:39 am What will happen to old ep 1-6 when they refilm with in hoo? Honestly, I miss the old On Dal character (and not actor)

Coin Mar 23 2021 2:47 pm Aside from our talented Kim So Hyun, my credit also goes to Go Geon, Mo Yeong and Gochuga. Lee Ji Hoon, Choi Yu Hwa and Lee Hae Young are great actors with great acting skills. Not to mention our handsome scene stealer Kang Ha Neul. Also, the storyline is intense, its not boring. Im glad that Na In Woo catches up. I love how he worked hard to build good chemistry with other casts, his fighting skill is above average as well.

I heard that they suffered great financial loss after the incident. No one would never expect that, but things happened. This team is superb, and they deserve more attention. I hope they'll survive and win more viewers' love.

Misslate Mar 23 2021 1:20 pm The first time I watched Na in Woo as On-Dal.. I thought it was too strange, awkward. But now he is totally good as On-Dal. He always doing better day by day to build up the chemistry between On-Dal and Ga-Jin in every episode. Good job.

I also like the chemistry between Go-Gun and HaeMoYong. I hope they will be happy together also.

Ht Mar 23 2021 11:07 am I watch this because of Kim So Hyun. I really don't like jisoo so I'm happy he got replaced, now its better with Na in Woo

Hanies Mar 23 2021 10:22 am I watch thia becoz of na in wooo...

Katok Mar 23 2021 7:05 am Bring back the real Jisoo? it's nice to watch but then ondal suddenly gets fat in the episose 7

Billa Mar 22 2021 11:51 am Out of all the controversy of Ji Soo's replacement, I must say that So Hyun is the saviour of this drama. She slays it. If only the fans got the chance to vote, Jang Dong Yoon would have been a great choice (but it's impossible becoz he's doing another project). Whoever made the replacement would still feel awkward in every way because Ji Soo started strong. In Woo seems to be the right man in the right time. It was awkward at first, yes it was, but he's doing better, thanks to Princess So Hyun. She's trully a pro. She performs well in all circumstances. Wish them all (actors and production crew) good luck to the very end.

Luv Mar 21 2021 6:17 am Kimsohyun is slaying it

Baladeva Mar 21 2021 4:13 am New On Dal Nice. its take time to build chemistry, only episode 7 bit romance with old On Dal. no need to worry, for what happen to jisoo good for him, its good time to expose when he get main role and good drama. thats explain why i dont like jisoo, i try to like him but he weird, something wrong when he smile and doesnt look genuine happy, last drama is for him is so bad that make his act dull now. he cant act a outcast poor goguryeo citizen. not even funny when old on dal argue with his mom. seem doesnt care his mom at all.

hope the best for this drama. trust me this drama is getting good.

Laura Mar 20 2021 11:46 pm This is a masterpiece drama with an outstanding cast every one is doing so good .And Im glad ratings are high despite of replacing the lead actor . Well I really didnt like Jisoo rereplacing well those things happened long ago when he was a child if he didnt got the suitable punishment that time then surely he would get the punishment but not by ruining his career. Jisoo's acting was so perfect . About Na Inwoo I didnt liked him in 7th episode he was too serious . But I fell for him in 9,10 episodes . His acting is so good , only thing is Jisoo's interpretation and his interpretation is different ofcourse they are two people . 2nd lead guy and 2nd lead female has a great chemistry too. Both looks so sexy such a chemistry please I hope they have their moments too.

sohyun is the best Mar 20 2021 11:02 pm I was looking forward to this drama b/c its sohyun. she looked gorgeous in goblin too and now playing her mother and the princess. she's grown into a beautiful women.

I hope that she could do more Netflix produced drama b/c the trend of those is that they have better quality and a better budget so they could do more than just the typical drama script. love alarm, sweet home, and more are amazing

btw does anyone know how historical dramas get advertizers? cuz its not like modern dramas where they can use advertisement for makeup/food/tech.

Annis Mar 20 2021 10:57 pm the kiss scene was ... i feel uncomfy... I feel like that was his first kiss scene. too much puckering.

rosie Mar 20 2021 6:46 pm ohhh I really miss old On Dal... He was much better than the new one... He looks strange on the new series... The atmosphere is different now... Im so upset this this... Miss you Jo Soo :(

Annabel Mar 20 2021 2:20 pm inwoo has a diffferent vibe as an actor. he also has a different image. its not bias when you're talking about his aura. he's still a new face in the industry and some pointers are is that he needs to work on his facial acting and voice acting.

Rosie Anne Mar 20 2021 7:48 am One word for the new ondal : BETTER

Klareeyy Mar 19 2021 9:12 pm I know everyone has a different opinions with Na Inwoo casted as Ondal. For me, I don't really mind who play the role. I'm just thankful that someone accepted the re-casting because the production was planning to cancel the show if no one's gonna accept it. I'm also happy that the ratings in ep 10 is finally back at 9 % range though it's still lower compared to the usual ratings before the issue. It just that some Na Inwoo stans claim that it's because of him, the ratings rise because of him. Well, I think that's a good reaction, but how about the other casts who make efforts for the show? There are a lot of talented actors who perform their best plus the storyline itself is great. They never knew that this show already reached 10 % in ep. 4, started really well and maintained a 9 % rating in most of its second parts.

Let's keep supporting the drama but never invalidate others efforts in saving this show. Kim So hyun, Lee Jihoon, Choi Yuhwa, the veteran actors, the crew and Na In woo are doing their best for the viewers.

Jac Ross Mar 19 2021 12:45 pm Na in woo is a good actor however this role does nothing for him. He looks older , bigger and mumbles to much. There is more chemistry between the second male lead . I truly miss Jisoo in this role and noticed the ratings were higher when he played the main lead.

not feeling it Mar 19 2021 1:16 am While the storyline is still the same, I ain't feeling na inwoo as ondal. my critics are that he looks too old and his body build is too big. By this I mean that the age difference between sohyun and inwoo is obviously quite large like 10+. Additionally, because he has a lot of muscles, he would better fit as a guard. appearance wise his tries to act young, however it aint a good type of aegyo. They really should have worked to cast someone who looked around sohyun's age. while jisoo and inwoo in real life are only a year apart, inwoo looks like he's in his early 30s. his voice ain't soft or attractive, rather it is rudely loud. inwoo in his previous drama as a "brother"/guard worked, but he is clearly a b-c rate actor. I know that no really famous actor would accept a re-casting offer, however this replacement and the vibes between the leads is eww

elaya Mar 18 2021 6:52 pm obsessed with the tension and chemistry between the second leads! really excited to see if a romance line plays out bw them, or if it'll continue to be a love triangle

Shai Mar 18 2021 4:16 pm Wow i like this saeguk series not draggy. It is fast face and on point. I like the new On Dal. I didn't like Jisoo in the first place. I watched it because i was intruiged by the title and Kim So Hyun is the lead. I just finshed Love Alarm 1 where Kim So Hyun starred. I checked out her latest series this one. :)

I Like It...

Rozei Mar 18 2021 11:32 am I just can't believe that Na In Woo is now the lead actor after he potrayed in Mr. Queen.

Side joke: I know that he knows the feeling of General Go Gun. Because that was his last role in Mr. Queen hahahaha.

Xye Mar 18 2021 11:17 am I just can't stop myself from commenting that I soooooo Love the chemistry of the new OnDal and Ga Jin...to hell with those who doesn't like In Woo as On Dal (just make your own tv series and hire Ji Soo if you can).

Amara Mar 18 2021 12:50 am So sorry there's no chemistry at all between new On Dal and Ga jin. I think Ji Soo was the best one... *hello from Indonesia ??

Miyana Mar 18 2021 12:49 am So sorry there's no chemistry at all between new On Dal and Ga jin. I think Ji Soo was the best one... *hello from Indonesia ??

yolanda Mar 17 2021 11:09 pm I love the story including and the casting. I also like Jisoo and Na In Woo most of all Kim So-Hyun. Looking forward to next episodes.

Jhen MErCz Mar 17 2021 9:50 am I still miss Ji soo..

Leah Mar 17 2021 2:29 am This is my first to comment here btw. The reason why I'm commenting this because I was in awe after watching ep 9 today. I can't deny that I'm loving the chemistry of Na In Woo and Kim So Hyun — which really proves that our So- Hyun is the queen of chemistry. And I also appreciate In Woo's acting here. So far, he's getting On Dal vibe while watching him, the fact that he just got this role recently. He's really working hard for this I can say.

I'll continue to watch this drama because of its good storyline and Kim So Hyun.

martha Mar 17 2021 1:00 am i love this drama now we are at mid point the plot will start to get darker..i hope it keeps its momentum until the end...happy ep 10 rose up to 9 percent ratings again

Hahaha Mar 16 2021 9:16 pm @Sso yes I know..it happen A piece of your mind..because of low rating they cut it short..I'm really love that drama..

Hahaha Mar 16 2021 9:12 pm @Typical007 maybe because they act as married couple..

Typical007 Mar 16 2021 7:00 pm In Woo's big smile is weird lol, look at the end of Ep 10 when his mother went to the mountain

sara Mar 16 2021 9:34 am seriously their chemistry is on???

Anna Mar 16 2021 6:29 am Na in woo and kim so hyun chemistry are great. Episode 9 doesn’t even feel like there is a new On Dal.

pinkchiffon Mar 16 2021 5:32 am ngl the chemistry between in woo and so hyun are amazing. Plus in woo potrayed on dal rly rly well even tho he has little time to get into character. He is indeed a really great actor. I’ll support him and dis drama!!

raya Mar 16 2021 1:45 am in woo was great... just give him a chance.like duh,it isnt easy to replace one character over the other

Typical007 Mar 16 2021 12:26 am Suddenly, our new On Dal isn't playful anymore

Sso Mar 15 2021 11:49 pm @Hahaha That depends on Korean Viewers's preference. And also Song Kang's Navillera is another competitor

Hahaha Mar 15 2021 10:00 pm I'm worried that the ratings will go down..can they compete with Joseon Exorcist airing next week?? I love both dramas?

Maecy Mar 15 2021 9:50 pm I just binge-watch this drama last weekend. This drama is a must-watch guys. Ji soo did great on his acting here and what a waste because this is his first lead role. Thought it was weird to replace the actor at first but In Woo nailed it!. He did a lot of emotions and it was super! Not sure if maybe because he appeared on the part where on dal already had progressed with the princess's heart but the chemistry is overflowing.

Kate Mar 15 2021 6:02 pm I think the production has done a great job in letting Na Inwoo to fully appear in episode 9. Because if we see him fully portraying Ondal in episode 8, we'll definitely compare them. They get the viewers to see a few of his appearances in the last week's episodes to help us get used to him as Ondal. I don't see any traces of the previous male lead in the recent episode.

Ima Mar 14 2021 12:46 pm I feel sad ji soo drop this drama.. I already repeat 1-6 again.. I love he acting . He good actor.. I follow many drama from jisoo..but this drama I cannot follow not same feeling.... even na in woon replace not same on dal character.. hmmmm... Sad for this drama.. I hope jisoo shining in future.. I wait drama from. Jisoo.. I pray u become much stronger jisoo... ?

juz Mar 13 2021 1:21 pm in my opinion, i kinda agree with how the writers suddenly change the actor instead of making a specific scene of jisoo exiting the drama / introducing a new character. his bullying case was quite severe (everyone is really mad about it / want him out) and 'on dal' carries a lot of connection and story to the drama, it would be kinda ridiculous to suddenly throw his character away. moreover, introducing a new character means a lot of writing and discussing most probably would delay the premiering plus disturbing the timeline of the next kdrama airing after them.

i had to applause na inwoo for taking the character, he took the role knowing he had little time to get into character and study the story line. he's a very promising actor i look forward to see more of his works.

Ahaha Mar 13 2021 7:21 am I'm giving this series a chance.. Na in woo is a good actor.. Plus Ki So Hyun acting improve a lot. I will see this until the end ?

Anne Mar 12 2021 11:32 pm @Dendi I think the series is leaning more on the classic side. It's an adaptation of a folktale and if you read the folktale, all the factors that you mentioned are included. With the Puppet King, power hungry villain, poor innocent victims, a classic indeed. IMO this drama is more like a fairytale storytelling.

dendi Mar 12 2021 2:40 pm This is just an ordinary Korean royal series. There is a king, there are violent characters who manipulate the king, and the poor people become the victims, then the king's daughter tries to take revenge.

I thought these dramas would have a deeper meaning in romance, action or comedy ... but none of them were that interesting.

Palak Mar 12 2021 1:52 am They change the actor. I like jisoo but his sudden change made me feel bad. I miss him

Jh Mar 11 2021 3:00 am I don't know why i feel more chemistry between lee ji hoon and kim so hyun. They look good together! #secondleadsyndrome strikes again haha

mianhae Mar 11 2021 1:40 am since jisoo is not on dal anymore ,, I see the chemistry of General go and ga jin , I want them to marry each other then general go will be the one who will the wrongdoings of her father and princess will be in love with him through time and princess will also help ondal tribe rise and make him the strongest man in goguryeo ,, how i wish I was the director.

Socorro jacob Mar 10 2021 10:37 pm I love this kdrama but I was shocked for the sudden change of actor... It would be better if Dal met an accodent in prison and that's the time that he should be eliminated from the kdrama... And a new character comes in... I love the story and all the character... But changing the character with no story at all is not good... The writer should have find a way on how to introduce new face acting as if the original one... Hmmmmmmm

Jed Mar 10 2021 8:46 pm People should just chill and enjoy the series for its story, plot and cinematography...forget who is acting the character but just acknowledge them as they are...no need to play favorites whether you like JiSoo or Na In Won...give the new guy some time..he will get to his role in the end.

martha Mar 09 2021 11:40 pm episode 8 preview was everything..cant wait..i hope the general doest turn evil fingers crossed..a great watch

Rosa Mar 09 2021 10:35 pm Its sad to know Ji Soo replaced as lead character. I like his acting skills and hes funny during the 6 episodes. I have nothing against In Woo he's a good actor.

I really hope Ji Soo is well after the issue

It’s me again Mar 09 2021 3:23 pm I must also add to the latest that I’m very exited to see how the change of the actors is made in the drama. I’ve never seen this happening in K-dramas before.

It’s me Mar 09 2021 3:19 pm This drama was on my watch list since I just love historical dramas! I was concerned that the drama would be cancelled, but fortunately they were able to get it going with a different male lead. I just finished the first episode and I’m exited to see the next one! Kim So-hyun seemed to fit really well to her role. Hopefully Ji-soo will develop as a person and get forgiveness from his victims in some point. It’s a shame that his long-waited lead role had to end this way. Still I find the decision of changing the lead good and consistent. The decision gives a strong signal against all kind of bullying.

Kimsohyun husband Mar 09 2021 10:45 am This drama have 20 episode guys, take it easy. Na In Woo still has a lot of time to build ondal character and chemistry with Kim So Hyun

Vanessa Albeza Mar 09 2021 10:12 am Na In Woo ?? you are such a great actor in Mr. Queen.. I hope you find hapiness with Princess Pyeong Gang..??

eliz Mar 09 2021 8:57 am The drama poster should be changed too by replacing Ji Soo with Na In Woo ;)

xxsighxx Mar 09 2021 8:15 am The trace of Jisoo. Nobody can replace On Dal. Im dropping.

Wew Mar 09 2021 7:26 am I dont care about who the actor but this is wht i expected to happen from the first i heard the news to replaced actor...the story is forwarded and skip mostly the important parts...

Fay Mar 09 2021 6:52 am Am I the only one who sticks for the plot and not for the actors/actresses involved? Like cmon there ain't that much Goguryeo dynasty sageuk and I just tryna watch this drama peacefully please :') ain't hatin' nobody please. Thank god they didn't decide to cancel this drama. Be thankful!

NoNoo Mar 09 2021 3:35 am So glad that KBS took action by getting Na In Woo to take over.

Will be supporting this drama from now onwards! :-)

Reina Mar 08 2021 11:48 pm Honestly, I don't know why they need a male lead as Kim So-Hyun can just carry this drama all by herself along with the supporting female lead. We just need a badass princess who will be the first female ruler of this kingdom.

nomanehx Mar 08 2021 10:46 pm I have seen the 7th episode and I must say that the On-Dal we got used to doesn't give the personality it have in the previous episodes. I also noticed the wide-shots they used were Ji Soo's part. Although, we have to understand why the production team & the ent. chose to replace Ji Soo on the drama. He admitted to the school violence & bullying accusations, however, his management denied the s**ual harassment. It is his past and he was a teenager that time but it would not be a valid reason to use since the victims were traumatized because of him.

We should look in both sides. Always be neutral. I understand the viewers too since I was also one of the viewers who were watching since the airing of the first episode. It's not that they don't want to give In-Woo a chance, maybe they are just confused and other viewers are not interested in the personal lives of the actors but the drama only.

Let's just wait for the remaining episodes to be aired. It already happened and all we have to do is accept the new actor & appreciate the team for still continuing the show. We just have to accept that actors plays differently. You can either watch it or not.

get out na Inwoo Mar 08 2021 10:44 pm at this point there is no need for a male lead. this drama is about sohyun

Y Mar 08 2021 8:43 pm I will continuing support na in woo even many netizens said he not suitable for on dal character. You guys cannot compare to ji soo how to portray on dal, everybody have their own style of acting. We saw in woo tried hard in this drama even he only have short of time to immerse himself to this on dal character. Please be understanding and support this drama ok?

ana Mar 08 2021 7:16 pm i'm gonna assume people who criticized episode 7 are either jisoo fans or that they just don't want to give na inwoo a chance. he didn't even have that much screentime yet. what jisoo did was so severe im beyond confused people here, who aren't even the victim, sound like they're totally willing to forgive because it's in the "past". if someone did that to you I doubt you will be saying the same thing.

Kate Mar 08 2021 4:55 pm If Jisoo stayed in the drama Korean viewers would never watched it anymore. They are still the one who contributed to the ratings not the international fans. Maybe we find it weird to see the new ml as Ondal coz were still used to Jisoo acting on it. But for me, this is still the best move, changing the male lead. We'll get used to him in the upcoming episodes. Aside from focusing on him, there are other actors who stand out also in the drama so let's watch this head on for the other actors who chose to re-film without being paid and the hard work for all involved in the drama.

TsuTsu Mar 08 2021 3:07 pm I think give In Woo another episode or two. Faintly got some On Dal vibes, but of course not exact yet. Ji Soo has a brighter and larger smile than In Woo, which gave off more of a funny, light personality. Along with that, the scenes in this episode, On Dal is a bit more serious, so it would have been the same with Ji Soo. On Dal has his serious moments as well.

Hiba Mar 08 2021 2:27 pm I am here after watching ep 7. Weeelllll the character was totally destroyed by changing the actor, jisoo got Ondal's vibe, he was a funny young character with a sad past, even his body and voice suits the role well but with Na In woo i think not. The scenes with na in woo are totally off unlike when jisoo where the lead, the shouldn't have changed him or at least they should have found a better actor for the role. Obviously they did it for the ratings but the ratings will drop harder now. I am disappointed because i feel the drama could have been better if jisoo stayed in it. Ps : all respect for na in woo he is one of my fav actors but he really didn't go well with this

RiRi Mar 08 2021 1:24 pm I'm so disappointed because I've waited for this drama ever before it started. I have loved it since the premier. In-woo is a good actor. I've watched him in Mystic Pop-up Bar and Mr. Queen. And other actors decided to re-film the drama without guarantee pay. So much respect for them. I'm sorry but it doesn't feels the same way now that I've watched episode 7, especially when you've loved the character of OnDal portrayed by Jisoo.

unicorn Mar 08 2021 1:21 pm age wise the appearance of the actor switch is too much from an skinny early-20s to bulky mid-30s look. a love line would have worked before, but now it seems impossible. in order for the actor switch to quickly occur, they awkwardly inserted the new actor in by cutting dialogue and showing his face for a few seconds while using past footage. that's why right now the flow of the drama seems thrown off. maybe it will get better, but currently the vibe of the actor's role and in general is not consistent anymore

concerning the actor switch itself.......... I am against it.

Nana Mar 08 2021 11:01 am Am I the only one who imagines Kang Ha Neul every time On-Dal is on screen? :D

kevin leblanc Mar 08 2021 10:47 am I watched the first few minutes and when I saw Na In Woo in Ji soo's clothes I immediately started to google Ji soo and found out why they replaced him. I did not go back to the show even tho I like kim so- hyun as an actress it's just not the same. So watch the ratings go down.

Hanbins Mar 08 2021 10:21 am Ondal character is the one that bring "fun" in drama, but i can't find it when Na In Woo play it.

xxsighxx Mar 08 2021 8:34 am I’m here after watching tonight’s ep. and I’m really sorry, but I can’t help it that the only person who suits the role On Dal is Jisoo. Now the vibes is not there anymore.

Alan Panek Mar 08 2021 1:23 am Feeling bad for Kim So Hyun, having to re-shoot 10 extra episodes. Contracted for 20 but had to shoot 30. Such hard work for her, not to mention 2 plus months of her time! Comprnsated much? I certainly hope so!

Orkid Mar 07 2021 11:46 pm After watching ep 3-6, i curious how in woo will portray on dal character from ep 7 onwards. Before this i stopped at ep 2 because i think the storyline heavy for me. Hope in woo can do better than ji soo like he do in mr queen. I still dont understand why knetz reveals the bullying now after many years ji soo in entertainment industry, something fishy here.

Iris Mar 07 2021 10:51 pm A fresh start for everyone who loves the series despite everything. We'll just forget the past and continue supporting this drama. There are a lot of casts to look out out to. Everyone is great with his/her respective role so let's root for the success of this piece.

Greta13 Mar 07 2021 3:34 pm What's done is done. Ji Soo will enlist in military this year. Regrets are felt when it's just too late. There are choices that we make that do not turn into something good. That is when regrets consume us.Our regrets tend to be the biggest life lesson. Life lets you have your choices. You either choose to be good, or bad. But every dicision you have make comes the consequences at the end.

Fighting! for Ji Soo and Na In Woo

MG Mar 07 2021 8:26 am pls don't replace Jisoo

jiyujiyu Mar 07 2021 5:46 am I'm excited for the new lead. Yeyy Na In Woo!! To be honest, I personally do not like how Jisoo portray Ondal, Ondal supposed to be someone who has deep character inside but look innocent with little bit dumb on the outside, but I can't see that in Jisoo before. Even before the bullying accident happened, Jisoo is still not ready for deep character like Ondal.

sara Mar 06 2021 9:43 am let's just forget about everything and just focus on the drama river where the moon rises fighting kim sohyun fighting na in woo fighting lee ji hoon fighting

Hiba Mar 06 2021 8:24 am Jisoo made a big mistake being a bully but regardless of that, i think he suits the role more than In woo, i am not excited about the replacement and i don't feel like continuing to watch the drama, the only reason i may keep watching it, is kim so hyun.

mcdreamy Mar 06 2021 7:11 am If you ever experience being bullied it is very traumatic and not a really good memory to remember. Jisoo is an amazing actor, he did very well in his acting career but he did something horrible and it is being a bully. Yes it is in the past but the victims are still remembering the traumatic past that jisoo caused.

Someone Mar 06 2021 1:56 am This drama is over for me and I don't like the replacement guy at all

Eliz Mar 05 2021 5:44 pm Can't wait to see In Woo as a protagonist.

Peri Mar 05 2021 4:17 pm I'm so disappointed and shocked at Ji soo. I didn't expect that he could do such a thing. Ji soo and Kim soo Hyun are the main reason why I decided to watch this drama. I'm very shocked, I don't think I can watch next week's episodes with him on it. I don't think I can even continuing watching this drama.

I've always been rooting for Ji Soo and was finally excited for the first lead role where he actually gets the girl and isn't sad. I'm just so flabbergasted right now. I'm speechless, I-

smolflcwer Mar 05 2021 1:14 pm I really wanted to watch this initially because I consider myself a fan of both leads: Kim soo hyun & jisoo. I still haven’t started it yet, but heard about the controversy and as disappointed as I am about Jisoo’s past actions & being dropped from the drama omg I am so thrilled for Na In woo!

BG Mar 05 2021 11:45 am Actually I don't want to watch after hearing the news about 'that person' but then I saw the news that Na Inwoo replace that person. So I'm so happy for Inwoo. He did a great job in Mr. Queen and I would love to see him here.

HV Mar 05 2021 11:43 am Well, let me get this straight... The production already removed and replaced Kim Ji Soo before they even got or fully investigated the so-called evidences for his sexual misconducts, back in high school? Not that I am siding with any sides because it is way too preliminary for that; however, I take the propagation of any damaging rumors (Bullying, sexual assault and so on...) with a grain of salt.

This brings me right back to all the cruel rumors about K (I-Land’s contestant) all over again. I understand that Kim Ji Soo apologized for the school violence but there is not yet valid evidence about the sexual assaults... At least, I really hope there is none. My questions are: Why now? This actor has been in more than 20 movies and dramas altogether; why waited so long to propagate the existence of those self-videos?

In any case, this entire affair is a very sad case. Upon its completion, I was solely going to check this Sageuk because of Kim Ji Soo; however now, I have no intention of doing so.

Minhyun's wife Mar 05 2021 10:20 am I'm gonna watch this because na inwoo ❤

ilovesohyunnie Mar 05 2021 8:18 am To all the fans of Na In Woo!!! Welcome to the Fam of River Where the Moon Rises! Fighting to the Casts!!!

Aiwa Lu Mar 05 2021 8:03 am Im watching this coz of Na In Woo!

Sophie Mar 05 2021 7:46 am Im not watching this drama and I really dont know who Ji Soo is and the controversy that surrounds him. I do know Kim So Hyun though. BUT I think I will watch this drama because it was reported that NA IN WOO will replace Ji Soo. Yaaaasss! Im here for Na In Woo! So much potential for this oppa. Saranghaeyo!

Tetsu Mar 05 2021 7:00 am Just watch 1st eps and heard bout issue in regards to Ji soo. As a person who wants to watch bc of the story and not the actors. I think they shouldnt fire him yet. It'll be wise to investigate the issue first. If he is wrong , then fire him. But what if hes not? Its not fair. I see this alot in western media now e.g Depp. I understand that it'll affect all who is involve with this drama. Its unfortunate.

Tetsu Mar 05 2021 6:51 am I just watch first eps so far, and heard that there is a controversy in regards to ji soo. As a person who just wants to watch this because of the the story not the actors, in my opinion they shouldnt fire him yet. Bc they even did not investigate it yet, it'll be wise if they did investigate it first. If its proof he is wrong, fire him, but what if hes not? I think its not fair. i see this alot lately, mostly in western media. I just want to shre my opinion about this issue. I understand how this will affect all the cast, crew and everyone who involve with this drama its unfortunate.

Mae Mar 05 2021 6:10 am Yes! My Na In Woo It's time for them to see you shine ?

Dowon Mar 05 2021 3:35 am Please take out Jisoo from that cast list and poster cuze KBS confirm that Na In Woo make his replacement!!

Billa Mar 05 2021 3:26 am Ji Soo... What a tragedy

Felinne Mar 05 2021 1:10 am I wish Ji Soo would be changed by Dong Yoon.. hahaha i can't move on from their chemistry in the tale Nodku

weke Mar 04 2021 10:15 pm Na In Woo will have a way better chemistry with Kim So Hyun. I just can feel it. Hope he accepts or else i will be so disappointed.

scarletsungrok Mar 04 2021 9:14 pm oh! na in woo? crazyy, i remember seeing him as a minor role in a 2019 kbs1 drama. he has grown so much since then! so proud of him ^^ a little sad about jisoo leaving but :// hope he reflects on his actions and such if the bullying accusations are true... as of now, lets not think about the bad and look forward to our possible new ML! i hope na in woo accepts :)

KTTS Mar 04 2021 7:46 pm They just announced Jisoo is officially leaving the drama and so shall I. What is the point of watching now.

Such a dumb move from KBS.

This drama has and had so much potential, but now that Jisoo is gone, that’s gone out the window. My ratings for this drama went from 100 to 1% !!!

Jisoo is never going to win, and as the heads of Kdrama industry, y’all really added fuel to the fire.

Ana Mar 04 2021 7:36 pm @Keial

Kang Haneul is quite booked, I think he has 3 upcoming movies, 1 cameo for a movie and 1 series so it's not possible.

강 소연 Mar 04 2021 6:48 pm I hope they just bring Kang Ha Neul back to be paired with Kim So Hyun.

But isn't he shooting his latest movie? Whoever the On Dal plays in the future, I hope he is not the same as Ji Soo, what a pain.

Keial Mar 04 2021 3:43 pm I hope they just bring kang ha neul back to be paired with Kim So hyun.

Anelfa E. Badilla Mar 04 2021 2:35 pm I love this k drama... what will happen? This breaks my feeling?

Lovelyme Mar 04 2021 2:27 pm I feel sorry for his victims and it’s sadden me to know that he was once a school bully.....kids at my school used to call me names and give me dirty looks. I have met some of my old school bullies as an adult and now they’re not as mean as they were before...and i get it because we were only kids back then....i would hate if i ever come across an adult bully and im sure we all have one at our job, our neighbor or just random people we meet...i really hope Ji soo reflects on his past actions and that he is still not a bully....

sara Mar 04 2021 2:26 pm for the love of god go and fight in jisoo's page not in this drama's

INTJ Mar 04 2021 2:21 pm I hope KBS would release a DVD version of RWTMR where there are no traces of JiSoo totally, as they have already released the first 6 eps. I know it's another expense and task but to those future viewers who wouldn't want to be confuse, as if nothing happened with the original male lead.

Mimi Mar 04 2021 11:01 am In my opinion, it'll better if they can make a jisoo's character die bcz of something and add a new character than change with new person but same character with jisoo. It'll become weird if i watch the same character with different person.

meowpower Mar 04 2021 10:00 am I hate jisoo for what he did but I’m sad they’re replacing him because they’ve already filmed 18 episodes so that means the cast will have to work hard to refilm 12 episodes!!!! The action scenes were filmed in winter too so now they have to refill those too it’s such a shame they have to work hard because of him

momochi Mar 04 2021 9:52 am i hope kbs will consider getting kwak dong yeon as the new male lead.. he's an amazing actor and suits saeguk well

Chui Mar 04 2021 9:50 am It's good that the drama will still be airing. The casts are innocent so they don't deserve this mess. It may sound unfair for Jisoo's part but that's the way to handle things. If he's still seen in television, obviously the public wouldn't watch it anymore. So for the efforts and hard work of everyone involve in the drama, the decision is quite good.

Just continue to support this drama guys. They're working hard for this. Rooting for team riverwherethemoonrises.

Daza Mar 04 2021 8:18 am Instead of rude Jim soo I, think siwon choi is a good candidate

JA Mar 04 2021 6:58 am I’m quite happy since I’ll be able to finally watch it for Kim So-hyun. Looking forward to “River Where the Moon Rises”. KSH, Fighting!

martha Mar 04 2021 6:48 am Jisoo Has Been Officially Dropped From The Drama..KBS is looking for a male lead to replace him..i think they will reshoot only his scene with his replacement..am curious and excited who will b the new lead...i hope people will come down and continue supporting since the object of ur emotions has been remove and the rest of the cast is innocent

AJ Mar 04 2021 5:46 am I kinda feel bad about Ji Soo but the things he did before were horrible. but then those were on the past already however it could really ruin his image as an actor.

Luvey Mar 04 2021 4:11 am I don't think this drama should be canceled, of course I really hate the fact that jisoo bullying people, but there is more than jisoo who is doing great work like producer, writer, staff, and any other leads , they don't deserve to be falling just because one person

Joe Mar 04 2021 2:14 am Holy moly things go 180 real quick. This is like the only sageuk that I like and Jisoo scandal really need to ruin this one huh? I'm disappointed. Poor for those people working hard for this one geez. Bet rating gonna drop like A LOT. Thanks Jisoo now I can't watch this and so does everyone else..

Soseji Mar 04 2021 2:08 am Ok..this turns out to be awkward....I won't look at the drama the same after this..it's not fair for the others that work hard in the drama tho. My god Jisoo why you have to ruin this

sara Mar 04 2021 12:26 am this drama doesn't deserve to be canceled.sohyun and all the stuff didn't do anything wrong. they don't deseve this??

rain Mar 03 2021 11:55 pm can they choose jang dong yoon as the lead actor's replacement? i really love their chemistry (with kim so hyun) on the tale of nokdu ?

ps: i know it's impossible for him to be chosen or even accept the offer (if ever there would be) since he also has an upcoming drama this march but there's nothing wrong with dreaming.

trex Mar 03 2021 11:03 pm My heart is for the victims, but my heart is also to the team, casts and those people who are innocent and had nothing to do with the issue but got affected. Some people wanted to cancel the drama because of Jisoo, but never forget that the innocent people have their livelihoods and job that depends on this drama. I hope the actor will at least give compensation so the workers of this drama will still be able to recuperate despite the damages brought by the issue. So my only request to all people, take consideration to all sides that are involved. Hope KBS will come up with the wisest decision.

RWTMR Mar 03 2021 9:45 pm My thoughts are with the casts and whole RWTMR crew. They’ve worked so hard for it and it’s sad to know they will probably halt the drama because of Jisoo’s case. Im so frustrated bc RWTMR is getting more recognition and even the ratings are good too.

sso Mar 03 2021 9:20 pm Please People, don't drag down the Drama cause all the casts/crew and production company made an effort to do this Drama... Come on! Jisoo is just only 13 years old that time an immature boy... Leave this Drama alone cause this was a precious project for the other actors. Everyone makes mistakes, Nobody's Perfect.

I am also sad the fact the he is a bully before but let's just wait for the investigation to finished if the Sexual Harrassment is TRUE cause there is no evidence it's just only stating on a Forum...

Eunice Cleveland Mar 03 2021 7:08 pm @Kate, the rumor became a fact. JiSoo has just assumed in his instagran his responsibility and guilt about his black past. This affects not only drama and production, but also his career as an actor.

Blunt Mar 03 2021 2:45 pm I know this drama is a Korean production, but for some reason, it doesn't feel like it. It's not suffiently differentiated from any of the historical dramas that China massproduces almost daily. It's just action with little thought. Someone gets wounded or killed every other minute, and you would barely who it is, and what happened. But I guess if you're an action fan you will love it.

Candid Mar 02 2021 11:17 pm Why does it seems like Princess Pyeonggang's personality is so soft-hearted? We're kind of expecting a ruthless and fierce personality from her coz that's what written in your synopsis, writernim. The fast-paced episodes slowly died down also.

Iris Mar 02 2021 8:51 pm Been delighted about Yeom Gajin's decision to go back to the palace. That's what I've waited the most. Is it just me who doesn't mind the romance? I'm more on the side of Princess Pyeonggang quest for revenge and justice. I'm more thrilled with how she will handle everything now that she's back.

lovelyz Mar 02 2021 11:16 am It's so unfair if people didn't watch this drama because jisoo rumors. Producer, staff, and other actor, they had work hard all the time. Hope this drama and sohyun will not get affected.

Kate Mar 02 2021 7:35 am Hope this drama wouldn't be affected with Jisoo's bullying rumors. This has a lot of potential and it's a shame if that single rumor would do bad to this show. Praying for the settlement of that issue so that this series wouldn't be harmed.

술리스 Mar 01 2021 1:05 pm Too early to judge when the drama has just finished airing its fifth episode, but since it firstly aired, I put my trust on it. I really like the role Kim So-hyun plays as a warrior princess. She acts very different than her usual image as a sweet girl. I also like Ji Soo's unique voice. Anyone notice it? Kang Ha-neul and Lee Ji-hoon also look really cool on this drama. They're really charming. Last but not least, the little girl from Sunno tribe, she's really fussy which makes herself looks cute. Wish this drama gets more attention from the viewers across the globe. Worth to watch.

Soseji Mar 01 2021 9:40 am I can't help but lol everytime Ondal looks at Pyeonggang xD Jisoo looks kinda cold irl but he really know how to make that 'smiley fool' and 'head over the heel' face. Don't judge a book by its cover much huh. Lesson learnt! But I get a bad feeling we can't see much of that in future episodes :'l

dashi Mar 01 2021 9:18 am Done with episode 5 and looks like they are going to focus on romance. I don’t care about the love story, I need to see the princess power in action and her strong, cold character in the palace because that alone will keep me going. Come on, if the writer doesn’t really have a plan on executing that, i’m gonna snatch his pen to write a more creative story for the female lead.

Stiff Feb 28 2021 9:30 pm The series has a lot of episodes left so it's still early to tell that the writer change the personality of the female lead. It's still the beginning so let's see how the story goes.

veej Feb 28 2021 9:36 am First time I appreciated the great acting of the second leadman Lee Ji-Hoon or maybe because he is protecting the main lead girl character. anyway kudos great drama even though we are still on its 4th episode

__unnielove Feb 28 2021 9:01 am Let's just wait for the whole story to aired and trust the writers and director work. Cause it's just only 4 episodes, Right now we didn't know what's next to happen so don't judge or think too much...As for the OST part2 music vide, On my interpretation Princess Pyonggang is being locked up and wanting to free Ondal from the Palace Guards.

Btw, Fighting for River Where the Moon Rises!!! I enjoyed the watching it...

Choi Sagyu Feb 28 2021 8:47 am @ender we don't know for sure Han Ji Hoon has still the chance to make Pyeonggang cruel the good opportunity is in her comeback in the palace. If he doesn't I swear he needs to be blacklisted. In the novel, the king was sound in making decisions not a drug addict. He has a grand plan with Princess Pyeonggang. Also, there's no cliches there. Princess Pyeonggang actually try so hard to propose to Ondal. She got rejected and she waited outside his place overnight cold. They got married but still pretends to be a good wife to convince Ms. Sa and Ondal that she truly wants to marry him because of genuine love but then bit by bit she changed On Dal from a pacifist to a fighter then let him join the competition on the palace. All people were shocked to see the ugly fool become a handsome macho. She return to the palace proudly making people to eat the dust and wreck all the people who is after the throne. Yes she was a little bit warm but her cruelty dominates her whole attitude that what defines her. And I'm so frustrated why amnesia? this cliche has been overused why did the writer put that whereas he can just follow the novel. Also it is a great asset that Queen Yeon and Princess Pyeonggang look alike because it will make concubine Jin Bi got f*cking scared. But then they can't recognize her only a few can. The writer also cut off the love story of Queen Yeon and Wol Gwang I was looking forward so much to it. Now writer nim should stop adding mediocre elements to the plot and read the novel intensely. This novel's plot was refreshing and new. But then this writer really frustrates me arghh please stop making cliches.

ender Feb 28 2021 4:08 am @Choi Sagyu

Exactly! As far as I know, princess pyeonggang in the novel can be cruel and warm at the same time. Cruel in terms of politics and power. At first, the plot said it will all about be using On Dal feelings to achieve goals but instead they did not follow it and the writer made a lot of cliches for the female lead. This has a lot of potential but Han Ji Hoon wanted to please the male lead’s fans because his fans doesn’t want any heartache anymore and this might be the reason why. It’s so sad that the writer has passed this opportunity to create a whole new version of princess pyeonggang personality and resorted to using cliches and common description for her character instead.

I was expecting to see that side of her but when she comes back to palace, it will not be about power and position anymore but fighting for On Dal and their love. I already saw the music video and it seems like it :(

Nelly Feb 27 2021 12:20 pm I love saguk dramas and this drama is so unique specially plot . I dont mind writer changing the real history or novel. Very interesting .Leads chemistry is awesome ,great chemistry .Acting is superb. Kim so hyun is awesome her acting is natural . Specially She amazed me with her role as queen ,very devoted young girl becoming the queen of a middle age King ,chemistry with king was on point ,loving king so devotedly and be his biggest support. So sad that about queen . Kaghaneuls special appearance was awesome too. Jisoo 's acacting is so natuwa also.

Choi Sagyu Feb 27 2021 1:47 am The novel was on point and likely connected to the Folktale. But then writer nim why did you put so much cliches instead. Pyeonggang was a bad schemer who doesn't care on whomever. She's just using people. Pyeonggang supposed to have Hae Mo Young's attitude. Also dal is a stubborn carefree kinda ugly hunchback who should later make his glow up. I know Han Ji Hoon writer nim is trying to make this his own. But the novel was a masterpiece that has the bigger scale like Queen Seondeok drama. I hope he will use the ideas on the novel for the later episodes. Writer nim please do your job better. This is a Goguryeo drama after very long time. Gongjungnim should hurry up and go back to the palace because that's when the real story will start. Also one war scene isn't enough. They should have multiple war scene and use the best opportunity to explore Goguryeo background.

Dan Feb 26 2021 9:01 am Kim so hyun plays 3 Character XD

Wew Feb 26 2021 7:57 am Sometimes i feel like this drama not interesting...not reach my target. The are many holes in the story and the characters seems awkward with each other... The script make me really upset. Oh damn why you doing that, oh sh*t, why you doing that...this words always come out from my deepest bottom of heart..

jeekies Feb 26 2021 2:48 am despite some loopholes and a bunch of "ok but like why would you do that" moments, i love how fast paced this kdrama is. usually kdramas w memory loss drag on the recovering memory loss part of the plot which makes the ending rushed. since its fast paced, its interesting to figure out what will ultimately happen... ive watched all of kim sohyun's projects since her debut and :") so proud (also my man jisoo muah)

clamchowder Feb 26 2021 1:40 am The vibe and the OST of this drama remind me of iljimae TT

Joe Feb 25 2021 9:38 am Yo not gonna lie, I didn't really like sageuk genre that much but this one is an exception. I really love this one so much? every each of the characters are potrayed very well by all actors involved. Sohyun is capable in any sort of characters given to her didn't really suprise 'bout that. She be slaying as usual. Jisoo really suit the fool and naive role as I've seen him in Page Turner where he acted naive just like in this one. I don't understand the hate he's getting, I think he's good but who am I to judge others opinion. I can't imagine if Haneul acts as Ondal tho ? Sure he'll manage to pull it off but he didn't give the Ondal vibe. Luckily he only took the role of Ondal's father. But the best role yet for me is Lady Sa like how did the actress managed to do the cross eyes thing like WHOA! Overall it's a good drama.

Natsu Feb 25 2021 3:49 am there's a plot holes but overall it's good.

martha Feb 25 2021 2:57 am ondal might not die since the novel is different either way am ok with it...the drama pace is amazing and no stupid misunderstandings..ep4 was awesome it deserve that 10 percent rating

@Ondal Feb 24 2021 2:55 pm based on the tale, yes he died in the end. In the beginning of the drama also we got to see Ondal was on the verge of death... I wonder where will the writer bring us, hopefully not disappointing and too devastating:’)

Ondal Feb 24 2021 8:30 am we already knw that on dal wil become a general and marry the princess but later died in the battle against silla... ?

Kate Feb 23 2021 11:41 pm @... I thought it's only me that find Moon Lovers overrated. Maybe some of them weren't good in acting coz there were few rookies that time. I'm not also a fan of Jisoo but let's see if there will a character development in the next episodes.

... Feb 23 2021 8:55 pm @almond People are overhyping him for being second lead/sad boy but honestly his acting made me turned off from his dramas.. last time I watched moon lovers and he was bad there (more like most of them are bad at acting)

Jaz Feb 23 2021 5:35 pm Wow it reaches 10 % in the second part of ep. 4. Well-deserved coz the plot starts to get more intensified. Every cast is really suitable with his/ her role.

Really rooting for the success of this piece.

jun Feb 23 2021 4:27 pm Finally the pace catches up in 4th episode!! I wonder if all the 4 leads will be each other support or are they gonna be divided by their tribe. Hopefully love triangle between PG, OD and GG isn’t tragic (though there’s possibility :’))

anyway PSA!! Ondal from the folktale is described as a fool who is supposed to stay low and not ambitious however he was strong and became a general for the king so I must say Jisoo is portraying Onda The Fool very well here :) Sohyun and Jihoon were also great these 4 episodes! Just I’m looking forward to seeing Yuhwa (HMY) skill here because I love her in Class of Lie!

can’t wait for more episode!!

LTT Feb 23 2021 8:29 am I just finished watching episode 3 and I have to say so far, everyone's acting has been on point. Kim So Hyun is good as always and Ji Soo's acting as a dumb character was also on point. He was really able to show his clumsiness in his character. I think this drama deserves higher ratings for sure. Dramas these days contains high ratings because people are staying at home so I hope this drama can achieve 20% in ratings so they can upload videos of them dancing in opposite- sex costumes. Excited!!

almond Feb 23 2021 6:47 am I need to know why the comments below think Jisoo acting is terrible...? I want you to elaborate in what way he’s not satisfying? and please don’t use his look to back up your point, it’s kinda rude smh I’m not even his fan or other actors’ but everyone here has their good and lacking points in acting... I’m also still patiently waiting for how would the characters develop in future episodes as for now I think the plot is all over the place so it makes it hard for me to judge their acting blatantly from these intro episodes

... Feb 22 2021 9:12 pm Honestly can jisoo's fans stop shielding him for his poor acting skill.. he has been acting for some years and yet I still hasn't seen any improvement from him.. kim sohyun obviously hard carry this drama,, again

orange Feb 22 2021 6:59 am it’s only like two episodes and yall already have so much to say lol chill, just enjoy while it’s airing. if you watch for any of your fav actor but cannot stand the others, well I advise you to watch once the drama finished.

fae Feb 22 2021 1:52 am @JA I also agree with you. It’s just episode 1 maybe so we can’t see much of their interactions. When I watched the radio and presscon, I can’t see these two vibing even though they have already worked in Page Turner and given that they have been filming for three months already. I hope I am proven wrong though. Maybe they are not just showing their closeness on camera?

For now, I am kinda into the second male lead. I dont know but as a viewer, communication and chemistry is really important for me. I’m really liking LJH vibes and how he shows interest and enthusiasm. Personally, casts energy matters for me.

JA 1 Feb 22 2021 12:38 am To O: first and foremost the only reason i’m watching this drama is because of Kim So-hyun and one of her co-actress in School 2015. secondly, I don’t even care if which actor did not get the offer. third, I don’t even care if which actor they’d pair KSH with. fourth, if you don’t like seeing hates, then don’t read it. y’all should be used to read hates ‘cause he’s not the only one who gets it. fifth, I don’t care whether you’ll shade me again or no. I also don’t care if you won’t respect my opinion. we have our own opinions as well. I just personally think that Ji Soo does not fit the role (HOWEVER, I might change my mind if I reach atleast episode 5). also, I’ll just then support him if I find KSH comfortable around him. yes, I know. MOST people find him “handsome” but for me, he’s not (that much) there’s this saying: “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” (!!) also, it’s “they are here again. (Ji Soo’s haters) hating him without (BUT with A REASON) a reason because their favorite actor didn’t get the offer.” or start it with “Ji Soo’s haters are here again hating him... etc. Don’t @ me.

O Feb 21 2021 5:43 pm They are here again (Ji soo haters) hating him without a reason because their idols doesn't got the offer.

Kim soua Feb 21 2021 10:38 am Jisoo acting skill is good. He is handsome too. Jisoo fighting! You are awesome.

Kim sohyun too. She is my favorite actress since i Saw you in school 2015 and all of your drama. And you are so badass in this drama. You have your own aura ❤️ please be healthy and be happy

River where the moon rises fighting!!!

Kate Feb 21 2021 10:18 am I think the reason why we couldn't see the chemistry of the main leads because this Saeguk isn't romantic comedy like Tale of Nukdo. Just like with Kim Sohyun's Saeguk with Yoo Seungho, (they didn't won the best couple award during its run) River where the moon rises is on the serious side, engaged in politics and drama. So setting the chemistry aside, I think the series has started quite well. Just keep supporting this piece. Kim Sohyun has chosen this one and she's capable of leading the show despite small lapses.

  During the press con, LJH and KSH had a better interaction towards each other and hoping for a positive impact in the series as well.

JA Feb 21 2021 9:00 am Kim So-hyun is definitely fit for this role but I don’t think Ji Soo is fit for this drama. No offense but I hate his acting skills and he’s not even handsome. Nonetheless, please support our Sso.

parkii Feb 21 2021 12:13 am When I watched the presscon and radio show, I was kinda turn off with the male lead when he said that he doesn’t feel much attachment to his character and can easily move on. Even when I watched the behind scenes, I don’t really feel his presence and excitement. It’s like his role is just a passerby for him. Maybe this is the reason why I can’t immerse myself with the chemistry of both leads unlike the Fl’s previous drama TTON, which both JDY and KSH really looks adorable together, both energetic and excited which will really make you watch with their outstanding chemistry.

Samantha Feb 20 2021 9:07 pm This drama is so fast the story in just 2 episode, wonder for all this 20 episode, still I don't like jisoo as the lead, no offence but I don't see he pull the characters well, I find him being a lil bit too dramat

Moon Feb 19 2021 2:56 am Kimsohyun is slaying it ??

NA Feb 18 2021 5:47 pm definitely should be a stand-out drama for 2021. kim so hyun and everyone's acting is stellar and the story seems to be moving quite fast and is very intriguing even if some parts are familiar to the original folktale.

Shintia Feb 18 2021 11:32 am The best Kim So-hyun drama for this year, many fans are looking forward to it. The drama, which tells the story of a royal princess, is very interesting to watch.

Pyeonggang Feb 17 2021 5:47 pm Aaww we love sohyun as much as we love this series. Kim so hyun fighting !!

Minjung Feb 17 2021 5:44 pm Omg this drama is amazing. The cast, cinematography, story line, even the backsong all of them was perfect. Looking forward for this masterpiece. Fighting RWTMR crew. We root for you!

sara Feb 17 2021 4:36 pm this drama is such a masterpiece.although i knew it will going to be great but still it was beyond my expectation and as usual sohyun never fails to impress me.

sara Feb 17 2021 4:32 pm this drama is masterpiece.although i knew it will going to be great but still it was beyond my imagination and as expected sohyun never fails to impress me

nebichanezzar Feb 17 2021 10:31 am not good a bit of circle story and too much expected scenes.

Klareeyy Feb 17 2021 9:20 am I could say this is a breath of fresh air from usual saeguks. I absolutely love the Goguryeo clothing and I admire how all of the casts are well-suited for their respective roles.

Jash Feb 17 2021 9:14 am This series has a different vibe from other Saeguk dramas. I also like how fast-paced the story is. I also commend the staff for the cinematograpghy, the buildings that they use, the ost and specifically the settings.

Looking forward to how this piece unfolds.

martha Feb 17 2021 7:16 am @sun ...no her father is the king...the minister just manipulated the situation to seem so and the king fell for it

dal's baby Feb 17 2021 6:59 am this drama has only aired for 2 days yet it is already a diamond. THE VALUE that kang haneul character (on hyeop) taught to dal and us: when revenge is considered as a normal/smart way of life, then its better to live ur life stupidly. ughh im in love.

Rai Feb 17 2021 1:20 am Im a fan of this series!! Kim so hyun and Ji soo are the main leads, so nice to see them together again in a film after Page Turner(web drama if im not mistaken). Im a fan of these two but still im curious how it would be like if Kang ha neul played On dal's character since he was the first choice of this drama. Anyway im gonna watch this, the story is promising

sun Feb 16 2021 2:50 pm is Wol Gwang the biological father of Pyonggang?

min Feb 16 2021 12:43 pm In Love With This Drama!! Sohyun really good and play her role perfectly even she is mother and daughter with the same face! i love all her drama!!???❤️ and hahah tarajin reunion with sohyun after school 2015!????love seeing them play drama together ? but inreally like go guen with sohyun hmm but no la dal is more okay ahahhahan

Divya Feb 16 2021 11:07 am I really like this drama, unlike other kdrama there is no such of too dramatic overacting, every cast played their role perfectly tho it's a drama but it looks so realistic drama base on their act face expression it's really good to see like this drama, btw weirdly I ship queen yeon with the king, ga jin with ma tae moo, pyonggang with ondal or go gun, I ship Kim so hyun with everyman in this drama so weird lol

Callie Feb 16 2021 9:07 am @aiman25 Only 2; Queen Yeon (Pyeonggang's mom) and Pyeonggang. After some events that I can't spoil, Pyeonggang has amnesia and after that she's adopted by a guy who renamed her Yeom Ga-jin. Kim So-hyun plays both roles amazingly, you should definitely watch this drama.

yang ja ri Feb 16 2021 8:38 am wow,kim so hyun is really amazing...

Wew Feb 16 2021 3:02 am @moop hahahahahaha your mistook make me chocked my food..hahahahah

aiman25 Feb 15 2021 11:27 pm Seriously kim so hyun have 3 characters?? Daebakk!! I cant wait to watch this drama. ??

moop Feb 15 2021 11:15 pm i thought blackpink jisoo was the actor lmao it’s the scarlet heart jisoo hahahhaahhaha *phew, now I can all in 100% for the drama

DeaLoza Feb 15 2021 10:51 pm This drama is filled with real namja. ? Everyone looks good from Jisoo, Kang Ha Neul. And I didn't expect to see Jasper Cho again. He had been taking cameo roles ever since DOTS. It is hard to unsee him in dramas. His sharop looks suits well the mighty Jeolla general role.

KTTS Feb 15 2021 5:58 pm That first episode was amazing! I laughed & cried more than I expected. I’m expecting a lot from this Drama and the whole cast is already delivering the best quality.

But can we just appreciate Ji Soo no longer being the second lead ?!??!!!!!!! A day we have all been longing for & it’s with our beloved Queen Kim So Hyun !!!! Arghh I love this so much!

Jash Feb 15 2021 5:21 pm This series is off for a good start. The storyline is fast-paced that you wanted to look forward the next scenes. The casts are great, well-suited for each role.

Congratulations to the entire casts and crew for having a successful premiere.

Martha Feb 15 2021 2:40 pm Omg am so nervous to watch just bcoz i want it to succeed xo much..i love the cast a lot..... Going yo watch it in 5hrs, waiting for sub.. .

AgustD Feb 15 2021 11:03 am Just finished watching episode 1, and it's wowza! Kim So Hyun is so stunningly beautiful in the queen attire, and her action scenes were Amazing! The young actors we're good too! Can't wait for the next episode!

yhang Feb 15 2021 9:12 am First episode really hit me up!!! This drama is so good. I really hope Jisoo and Sohyun a happy ending. ??

Choco mint Feb 15 2021 6:34 am Just wanna make sure that jisoo won't be a sadboy again in this drama

Margret Ngonyani Feb 15 2021 5:26 am The directors really Wanted Jisoo and Kim So Hyun to star in full together...they look good together I'm sure this will be a hit

Sohyun Feb 14 2021 4:28 am Yayy tomorrow is d-day. I am really very excited as well as nervous.

Kiyoung Feb 13 2021 11:22 pm After mini series "page turner".. jisoo and kim so hyun play together in this kdrama... I hope someone will update their profile coz there's no drama page turner in their profile

Stiff Feb 11 2021 8:18 pm Beyond excited for this piece. Cheers to the entire casts. Looking forward to the reunion of the lead stars.

D3 #riverwherethemoonrises

Migthy Thor Feb 11 2021 6:45 am So excited to watch this drama !!! I think the chemistry between Kim So-Hyun and Ji Soo will just be great (",)

Somebody Feb 10 2021 9:30 pm I hope the story don't disappoint me because it would be totally waste of talent these stars

Cumi Feb 10 2021 8:04 pm D-4 GUYS!

Mansi Singhal Feb 10 2021 1:28 pm Kimsohyun is on another level man. 3 roles ???

Cumi Feb 09 2021 5:02 am It D-6 guys!!!

Klareeyy Feb 08 2021 11:37 am Few days left before the premiere and I never knew waiting for that exact date is totally hard. Beyond excited for this series to finally kick off.

Star Feb 06 2021 10:13 am I’m so happy to see kim so hyun working with ji soo again! So excited for this!!!!

Jash Feb 04 2021 8:33 pm Got excited so much when I learned Kim So hyun will be playing not just two but three roles. On the other side, got inspired by how she challenged herself in her craft. Playing a mother at such a young age is really commendable.

Stiffany Feb 03 2021 10:59 pm Excited to watch this coz this is set in Goguryeo era and it's good to explore other kingdoms aside from the usually featured Joseon era. Other than that, looking forward to the action scenes with Kim Sohyun, her dual roles and the storyline itself. Cheers to everyone, cheers team #RiverWhereTheMoonRises!!!

Gale Jan 31 2021 5:53 pm Hopefully this would turn out great. Kim So hyun has started in several Saeguks already but this one is some what different from all her previous historical works. Wish she could portray more modern series not just the usual genres that she had before.

Iris Jan 28 2021 6:11 am Kim So hyun is one of my few favorite Korean actors coz she inspires me to strive harder and work for the best phase of myself.Even if this drama wouldn't turn out as I expected this to be ( but I still wish for its success), I would definitely support this wholeheartedly.

Kate Jan 28 2021 5:57 am Much anticipated series this 2021 and also excited to see the reunion of the lead stars. Not an avid fan of Saeguk dramas but will definitely watch this coz of Kim So hyun. Just hope this would turn out great and successful.

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.

lily Jan 24 2021 6:02 am Kim so hyun is my favourite actress, and I am really looking forward for this drama, Kim So Hyun really slay this roles OMG >_<

Shi Jan 23 2021 10:24 pm Wow kim so hyun and ji soo! Im so excited for the lead actors. Im cheering for you guys. I hope this drama goes well.

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

A. A. Ron Jan 18 2021 5:00 pm @BeaxLeib agreed this will be a very good pairing they will make a great on screen couple and I’m sure the chemistry will be very good ?

BeaxLeib Jan 16 2021 11:36 pm Me and my sister was happy because Jisoo is paired with Kim So hyun looking forward to it so we talk so much shouting out load because Jisoo is the first lead we all know that he was always second lead but now wowwww hehehehehe so happy for our Jisoo!! Party Party!!!!

Peachy Jan 16 2021 11:34 pm February Come Fasterrr !!!!!!

Raven Dec 28 2020 4:10 am Their (Jisoo & SoHyun) 2nd time having project with each other. The chemistry they have in Page Turner eventhough it is just short is soooo good. Hwaiting to the both of you!!

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
