The film Moon River revolves around the soul-swapping between Yi Kang (Kang Tae Oh) - the free-range actor who is dreaming of revenge and Park Dal Yi (Kim Se Jeong) - a street vendor who lost her memory.
The film aired its first episode on the evening of November 7 with a rating of 3.8% and dropped to 3.7% in episode 2. By episode 3, this number increased to 5.6% and then decreased to 4.1%.
In episode 5 (on the evening of November 21), despite facing fierce competition from "Taxi Driver 3" aired at the same time frame, "The millions of views" still recorded an increase of 6.1% in viewership, the highest since its broadcast. If it maintains its form, this could be the drama that will bring back MBC's achievements after a series of failed projects.
According to the film, Yi Kang and Dal Yi have officially been exchanged bodies. From here, many "half-crying, half-laughing" incidents occurred continuously until Dal Yi - who was trapped in the prince's body could not accept the unbelievable truth, while Yi Kang - the confident, proud prince had to live with the identity of a rustic goods seller.
On screen, the acting of Kang Tae Oh and Kim Se Jeong is evaluated as complete, emotional and profound. Not only beautiful in a couple, having a good "chemistry" in the film, but behind the scenes, the couple also made viewers exclaim because of their closeness and full of positive energy. In many behind-the-scenes photos, the two have many affectionate moments, causing fans to speculate.
Before that, to best play the role, the two actors had prepared carefully together down to every detail. With Kang Tae Oh, he carefully observed the appearance, habits, expressions and voices that the co-star showed when playing Dal Yi. We met privately to read the script and share thoughts about how each character would react in specific situations. We also recorded each other's lines and sent them to the other person for practice - the true "support to get back and forth" style.
While Kim Se Jeong said, they spent a day reading the script, exchanging roles, and whenever they encountered difficult scenes, they would immediately share ideas and develop together. "I tried to observe Tae Oh's voice and habits. Because he has a unique voting preference, I have learned a lot to imitate him as naturally as possible.
