Kim Se-jeong's ever-changing hanbok styling provides an irresistible delight.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama Moon River, which will premiere at 9:50 p.m. on Nov. 7 (Fri) (writer Jo Seung-hee/director Lee Dong-hyun/planner Kwon Seong-chang/producer High Jeum Studio), is a historical romance fantasy drama about soul switching — a role-reversal (易地四肢) — between a crown prince who has lost his smile and a bubosang who has lost his memory.
In the drama, Park Dal-yi (played by Kim Se-jeong) is a bubosang known for her warm Chungcheong Province accent and slick silver-tongued banter. True to a traveling pack carrier who roams the eight provinces and wins over customers, she emits bright, lively energy and is as expansive in meddling as the steps she takes. But in reality she lives having lost part of her past memories.
With such an unpredictable charm, questions arise about what backstory Park Dal-yi may hold and what feats she will perform. Meanwhile, images revealed of Park Dal-yi showcasing as varied a wardrobe as the bundle she carries raise expectations even higher.
In the photos, Park Dal-yi catches the eye in a practical, lived-in hanbok look paired with the paerengmo, an essential item for a bubosang. She sports uncommon accessories such as glasses, an umbrella and dangling ornaments, and even a disguise with a pasted-on mustache, conveying Park Dal-yi's spirited creativity.
By contrast, when wearing a skirt jeogori, Park Dal-yi displays a markedly different atmosphere. Her neatly braided daenggi hair and the silk garment's delicate colors create a pure, graceful elegance. Added to this is a solemn, mournful gaze that further piques curiosity about the Park Dal-yi character.
From plain-spoken charm to radiant beauty, Park Dal-yi's chameleon-like facets, freely expressed, are set to captivate not only customers but viewers as well. The dynamic laughter and emotion that even her unusual wardrobe will deliver are already eagerly anticipated.
You can see Kim Se-jeong's masterful bubosang, whose salesmanship seems destined for sellout lines, showing a wide variety of hanbok fashions in the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama Moon River, which premieres at 9:50 p.m. on Nov. 7 (Fri).
