Actress Kim Se-jeong delivered a performance that encompassed resilience, steadfastness and romance in MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "The Moon Flows on the Yi River".
In the second episode broadcast on the 8th, the tragic story of Bin-gung Yeon-wol, who in the past threw herself into the river for the crown prince, was revealed, adding depth to Dal-yi's narrative. The storyline alternated between Yeon-wol, whose wrist bore marks of a red seal, and Dal-yi, who lives as a body servant having lost those memories, creating a poignant atmosphere.
In that day's broadcast, Dal-yi solved the false yeolnyeomun case together with Crown Prince Yi Kang (Kang Tae-oh) and caused a subtle change in their relationship. To save Heo Yeonggam's daughter, the central figure in the yeolnyeomun case, Dal-yi stayed in Hanyang when she shouldn't have, risked danger and protected the daughter with steadfast and firm convictions.
Also, the meeting with Yi Kang, who appeared to save Dal-yi when she was wrongfully accused of theft, generated both tension and excitement in the drama. Between an inexplicable thrill and confusion, Dal-yi gradually opened the door to her heart and could not stop looking at Yi Kang.
Kim Se-jeong led the episode with high immersion and polished acting. She deeply conveyed the tragic fate of the bin-gung who had to throw herself into the river for the king, completing the drama's narrative with poignant emotional acting. Even in brief flashback scenes, she captured feelings of sorrow and resignation with delicate eyes and expressions.
In the bold present-day life of Dal-yi as a body servant, she naturally infused her unique cheerfulness and sincerity, and in the scene where she solves the false yeolnyeomun case and protects Heo Yeonggam's daughter to the end, she expressed the character's warm convictions. She perfectly executed dialect acting, naturally preserving the realism unique to historical dramas.
Amid toughness, she delicately expressed a range of charms through Kim Se-jeong's acting that did not lose steadfastness and warmth, completing a humane, three-dimensional character.
Meanwhile, MBC's "The Moon Flows on the Yi River," in which Kim Se-jeong, who challenged her first historical drama, appears, is a soul-change romantic fantasy historical drama about Crown Prince Yi Kang, who has lost his smile, and the body servant Park Dal-yi, who has lost her memory, and airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
