It was so Good but also Quite Bad!!
In my past, future and present, there was only you!
“Moon River” follows the star crossed love story between the Crown Prince of Joseon and his wife, who was deposed and murdered. Fortunately, she survives the ordeal but loses her memories. Five years later, she returns to the Capital as a lowly porter, and fatefully ends up meeting the husband she has forgotten. They end up falling in love all over again, and she becomes the Royal Concubine, only to rediscover her memories and realize that she is after all the deposed Crown Princess of the nation. Phew, in the midst of this chaos, husband and wife switch bodies very often; it happens so many times, that you lose count and interest too. The show had giant plot holes, that didn’t make any kind of sense. The actor’s performance is commendable though; whenever they had to perform the scenes where the protagonists swap souls, their acting was believable. Even for someone as manly as Kang Tae Oh, he really manages to channel a woman’s emotions and expressions. Apart from that, the storytelling is messy and contrite!
