Lee Kang-dal's Kang Tae-oh and Kim Se-jung's 'Soup Fluttering' made viewers' heart flutter...The romance is on fire



'The moon flows on the river' Kang Tae-oh made the home turf excited with his unwavering love for Kim Se-jung.

In the second episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "The Moon flows on the River," which aired on the 8th, Crown Prince Lee Kang (played by Kang Tae-oh) rescued Crown Prince Kang (played by Kim Se-jeong), who lives as Novi Park Dal-i (played by Kim Se-jeong), from danger, and the thread of fate began to be woven again. The broadcast received a hot response, shooting 3.7 percent nationwide, 3.4 percent in the Seoul metropolitan area (based on Nielsen Korea), and 4.4 percent in the highest ratings. In particular, the ending of Lee Kang's hand to Park Dal-yi "Let's go eat rice soup" peaked with excitement.

Five years ago, Crown Princess Kang Yeol-wol, who threw himself into the river due to the ploy of left-wing leader Kim Han-chul (Jin-gu), managed to save her life, but lost her memory and lives as Park Dal in Hanyang. Lee Kang was increasingly attracted to Park Dal, who had the same face as an empty palace as she thought she was dead, and she unwittingly revealed the tone and behavior of Kang Yeol-wol and fell into confusion.




Lee Kang stood by Park Dal at every crisis and served as a shield. He shook the hearts of viewers with a heavy straight romance, even pretending to be an ambassador for Park Dal, who was in crisis while trying to save a widow. Park Dal is also like that to Lee Kang "Do you want me to buy you rice soup?" and comforted him cutely, and Lee Kang added affection to Park Dal's touch by revealing his inner feelings.

However, on the day he promised to go on a rice soup date, Park Dal was framed as a thief and even went through the trouble of cutting the bottom of a stone roll. Lee Kang appeared once again when Park Dal was in crisis, rescuing Park Dal and extending his hand "Let's go eat rice soup." The romantic ending scene left a deep lingering impression on the viewers.

The relationship between the two is becoming clearer, and expectations are high on whether the crown prince Lee Kang and Park Dal-yi's "Hongyeon" can continue again in the future.




Meanwhile, MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Moon flows on the River' will be expanded and broadcasted 10 minutes earlier at 9:40 p.m. on the 14th.
