‘Moon River,’ an upcoming historical and fantasy K-drama starring Kim Se-jeong and Kang Tae-oh, is set to premiere on Viu on Oct. 31.
The streaming service announced the K-drama’s premiere date in a press statement where Kim and Kang will take on the lead roles.
While the series will be released on Viu on Oct. 31, it will premiere on South Korean TV network MBC TV on a later date on Nov. 7.
‘Moon River’ tells the story of Crown Prince Lee Kang (Kang), a mischievous royal who ends up losing his smile and a merchant woman named Park Dal-i (Kim). Destiny will play tricks on them as they end up switching souls after a mysterious event.
Also part of the cast are Lee Shin-young, Hong Su-zu, Jin Goo, and Kim Nam-hee.
Kim started her entertainment career as a contestant on the survival show ‘Produce 101’ in 2016 where she finished second. This led her to debut in the project girl group I.O.I with 10 other bandmates in May of the same year.
She also debuted in the K-pop girl group Gugudan in June 2016, and its sub-unit SeMiNa two years later.
She then made her acting debut in the 2017 K-drama ‘School 2017,’ but it was the romantic comedy ‘Business Proposal’ that propelled her to widespread recognition.
Meanwhile, Kang was a member of the actor group 5urprise which lasted from 2013 to 2020. He then went on to establish himself as an actor in the hit K-dramas ‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo,’ ‘My First First Love,’ and ‘The Tale of Nokdu.’
