The story, without the spoilers.
During a solar eclipse, Go Ha-jin drowns and wakes up in the body of Hae Soo, a young woman in the Goryeo dynasty a thousand years earlier. She is suddenly living among princes who are handsome, charming and dangerously ambitious, and the palace she has entered is a place where a wrong word can mean death. She grows close to Wang So, the feared fourth prince, whose scarred face hides a fierce and lonely heart. Moon Lovers is beautiful, tragic and operatic, with gorgeous costumes, a beloved soundtrack and a romance that hurts in the best way. The palace politics are brutal and the ending is famously heartbreaking, which is exactly why fans still talk about it years later. Some side stories wander and the pacing dips in the middle, but the central love story and Lee Joon-gi's performance are unforgettable. Come for the history and the beauty, and be ready to cry.
A little curiosity. A new favourite.
