Crazy about Asian dramas

Moon River is essentially a love story. The crown prince is deeply in love with his princess. However, due to vengeance, hatred, conspiracies, and the wrongful actions of his elders, they are separated. But true love does not care about such obstacles. After confronting many hardships and enduring immense suffering, they finally live happily ever after.
The story itself is average, but the performances are top-notch—especially Kang Tae-oh as Crown Prince Yi Gang. His acting won my heart. The way he switches his expressions from humorous to serious is amazing. At times, he appears arrogant, but in reality, he is not. He portrays a prince who is trapped in the middle of conspiracies and cruelty—fully aware of everything yet completely helpless.
I loved his performance. Whenever his character cried, it connected me deeply to him. He is truly a hidden gem in the Korean entertainment industry.
As for Kim Se-jeong, she was good as always. Lee Shin-young, who played the crown prince’s brother, delivered a fantastic performance with emotionally intense scenes. There were also other supporting characters whose acting should not be overlooked—especially the crown prince’s attendant, O Sin-won, and the eunuch who always stayed by his side. Overall, all the supporting actors and actresses performed admirably.
