Must-Watch Gem
Moon River” kicks off with a charming blend of romance, fantasy and period-drama elements: the soul-swap premise between a crown prince and a merchant sets up fresh narrative possibilities.he chemistry between the leads, Kang Tae‑oh and Kim Se‑jeong, is widely praised and the early episodes manage to balance humour and emotional underpinning quite well.
On the flip side: some reviewers feel the pacing is a bit slow in setting up the core body-swap premise and court intrigue—and that the tone sometimes veers into broad pantomime.
But overall: if you’re drawn to romantic-fantasy sageuk (period dramas) with a comedic edge, this show is looking promising and well worth dipping into while it’s still airing.
