Kim Sejeong’s first ever historical drama with Kang Tae Oh could be MBC’s chance to escape its 1% ratings slump

— by

MBC has been struggling with Friday-Saturday dramas recently, with shows like Mary Kills People and To The Moon stuck in the 1% ratings range.

Now, the network is betting big on its upcoming series The Moon Flows In This River to turn things around.

Set to premiere on October 31 at 9:50 PM, the drama has already created buzz as it will be Kim Sejeong’s very first historical drama challenge since her debut. She will star opposite Kang Tae Oh, who is making his highly anticipated small-screen return.

The Moon Flows In This River is a fantasy romance about Crown Prince Yi Gang (Kang Tae Oh), who has lost his laughter, and Park Dal Yi (Kim Sejeong), a merchant who has lost her memories.

The twist? Their souls are swapped, leading to a chaotic and unexpected romance between two people from completely different worlds.

MBC recently dropped teaser and special posters showing their quirky chemistry, with fans already calling the pairing a “rom-com dream team.”

Many are now curious if this new combination of star power and fresh story will finally help MBC rise above its recent ratings slump.

The Moon Flows In This River premieres on October 31 at 9:50 PM.
