[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Seoyeon Jeong = The grand plan of Crown Prince Kang Tae-oh, who has drawn a large picture of revenge, has been unveiled.
The heart-pounding romance and tense palace intrigue captivate viewers every episode in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Moon Flows Over River’ (script by Jo Seung-hee/ directed by Lee Dong-hyun/ planned by Kwon Sung-chang/ produced by Hijium Studio), where Crown Prince Lee Gang (played by Kang Tae-oh) makes a full-fledged move to bring down the opposition leader Kim Han-cheol (played by Jin Goo), adding to the excitement.
During this time, Lee Gang had been thoroughly preparing to take revenge on Kim Han-cheol, who not only manipulated the royal family to his will but also took away his mother and beloved woman. Pretending to be a frivolous and thoughtless ne’er-do-well, he lived fiercely and meticulously behind the facade, determined for retribution.
The core of Lee Gang’s plan is to prove that the mysterious deaths of the former royal family during the mysterious Gyesa Year incident were caused by poison and that the owner of the poison bird, Kim Han-cheol, is the true culprit and traitor in the Gyesa Year incident.
Therefore, even though his body was swapped with Park Dal-yi (played by Kim Se-jung), Lee Gang did not let go of the thread of revenge and instead used Park Dal-yi’s body to search for clues while hiding his identity.
Notably, the search involved Lee Yoon (played by Lee Shin-young), who had secretly traveled back and forth to the Qing dynasty to investigate, and his presence led to the appearance of the poison bird merchant’s son, finding crucial hints along the way.
Additionally, the daughter of Kim Han-cheol, Kim Woo-hee (played by Hong Su-joo), who is engaged in a royal marriage, informed Lee Gang of the location of the poison bird, as it appeared the long and complicated enmity was reaching its conclusion.
However, when Park Dal-yi, who was striving to help, was chased and faced mortal danger from the poison bird, Lee Gang without hesitation shot an incendiary arrow to slay the bird, leaving everyone in shock.
Kim Han-cheol attempted to pin all evidence related to the poison bird on a deceased palace maiden, but capturing the real poison bird was paramount to revealing him as the true owner.
With the strong evidence exposing Kim Han-cheol as the mastermind behind the Gyesa Year incident disappearing, everything returned to square one.
The romantic decision of Lee Gang, who chose to save Park Dal-yi over capturing his lifelong nemesis Kim Han-cheol, moved the hearts of viewers, drawing attention to his future plans.
The question arises of how Lee Gang will confront Kim Han-cheol with another bold move, now that his long-standing plan for revenge has hit a snag.
Kang Tae-oh’s relentless struggle to topple the enormous wall of absolute power represented by Jin Goo can be witnessed in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Moon Flows Over River’, airing every Friday and Saturday night at 9:40 PM.
