Actor Kim Se-jeong takes on her first historical drama challenge in the drama Moon River, offering fresh charm to the home screen.
Today (7th), ahead of the first broadcast, the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama Moon River (written by Jo Seung-hee, directed by Lee Dong-hyun, abbreviated as 'Igangdal') is a fantasy romance historical drama about Crown Prince Igang (Kang Tae-oh), who has lost his smile, and court officer Park Dal-i, who has lost her memory, swapping souls. Its unpredictable developments and fresh premise have generated strong anticipation.
In the drama, Kim Se-jeong plays the role of Park Dal-i, a resourceful, spirited court officer. She is skilled at business, warm-hearted but blunt in personality, and captivates those around her with her rustic Chungcheong dialect. Dal-i, who suddenly swaps souls with the crown prince and experiences an unexpected life reversal, is expected to be fully realized through Kim Se-jeong's vivid expressiveness and outstanding emotional acting.
Particularly, Kim Se-jeong embarks on a new transformation with her first historical drama since her debut. In the series she portrays a court officer character who combines cheerful resilience with a strong inner core, showing a different charm from her established modern-drama image. By perfectly recreating the speech and dignity of the crown prince whose soul has been swapped, she is expected to prove her presence in the historical genre and raise the drama's immersion with a wide acting range that moves between comedy and gravity.
Through dramas such as Brewing Love, Today's Webtoon, Business Proposal, The Uncanny Counter series, and School 2017, Kim Se-jeong has proven a wide acting spectrum from loveliness to seriousness and action. Given her immersive performances and expressiveness that fully embody each character and have won viewers' great affection, this work promises another acting transformation within the new genre of historical drama.
The drama Moon River, which is drawing attention as Kim Se-jeong's first historical challenge, airs its first episode tonight at 9:50 p.m. Friday.
