Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong sent a special Chuseok gift.
Moon River, a new MBC Friday-Saturday drama that will premiere Oct. 31 (Fri) at 9:50 p.m. (written by Jo Seung-hee / directed by Lee Dong-hyun / planned by Kwon Seong-chang / produced by Hi Jigeum Studio) is a historical fantasy romance drama about a crown prince who lost his laughter and a minister of rites who lost his memory, featuring a soul swap role-reversal (易地四肢).
This fall, viewers can look forward to the performances of Kang Tae-oh (playing Lee Gang) and Kim Se-jeong (playing Park Dal-yi), who are expected to deliver laughter and emotion as abundant as the Chuseok holiday. In addition, a greeting video they personally sent to viewers for the national holiday was released, drawing attention to Moon River.
In the released video, the two appear in an "soul swap" concept fitting the show's setup of body-swapped Lee Gang (played by Kang Tae-oh) and Park Dal-yi (played by Kim Se-jeong), stimulating interest. They not only call each other by swapped names but also showcase unusual detail in speech and expressions as if possessed by one another, causing viewers to burst out laughing.
Kim Se-jeong said, "I hope you have a rich and generous time like the full moon with family and relatives you meet after a long time," delivering a vigorous greeting imbued with the solemn vigor of crown prince Lee Gang. Kang Tae-oh likewise said, "Korea's biggest holiday is approaching. I hope you spend a very enjoyable time with your loved ones and have a happy Chuseok," expressing the line with the cheerful energy of minister of rites Park Dal-yi, faithfully maintaining the concept and showing a pleasant rapport.
Finally, the two said, "Everyone, have a happy Chuseok holiday. You can find out why our bodies were swapped on Oct. 31, Friday, on MBC's Moon River. See you soon," stirring curiosity about the drama.
With their witty Chuseok greetings ahead of the premiere, anticipation is growing over what kind of wild chemistry Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jeong will present in the show to deliver full-fledged fun like a full moon.
Moon River, the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama whose pairing of Lee Gang Kang Tae-oh and Park Dal-yi Kim Se-jeong already fuels viewers' eagerness to watch the live broadcast, will premiere Oct. 31 (Fri) at 9:50 p.m.
