“The Moon That Embraces The Sun” Published The Posters

MBC’s new sageuk drama, “The Moon That Embraces The Sun” (해를 품은 달) on December 29th published three posters with different concepts. The Moon to represent Han Ga In’s character, Wol, the shaman, and The Sun to represent the King Lee Hwon (Kim Soo Hyun).

On the first poster, Han Ga In is behind the veil till only appear her silhouette intended to describe Wol personalities, a beautiful shaman with mysterious life. Actually before the shaman, Heo Yeon Woo (Wol’s real name) was a daughter from noble family who got an arranged marriage with the king, but the arranged marriage failed, then finally she decided to become a shaman.

Meanwhile the second poster shows the main topic of this drama, the love story between the King and the Shaman. The last poster shows the four main characters. Besides the King and Shaman, there’re also prince Yang Myeong (Jung Il woo), and the empress Yoon Bo Kyeong (Kim Min Seo). I think this poster aims to show the conflicts that will arise on this fantasy drama.

The photoshoot for this posters took place at Yangju Cultural Garden on December 22nd. The official said that even on the cold weather the four leading roles, Han ga In, Kim Soo Hyun, Jung Il Woo, and Kim Min Seo looked enthusiastic and excited during the photoshoot, from evening until midnight.

Kim Soo Hyun loves his character as King Lee Hwon. This role is an honor and challenge for him. He looks so serious with his work. While for Han Ga In, she’s really excited to be acting as a shaman. It’s also a  challenge for her. This is the first time for her to appear on a sageuk project and to wear the shaman costume.

This fiction melodrama is based on Jung Eun Kwol’s novel with same title “The Moon That Embraces The Sun”, and will start to broadcast on January 4th.
