A love story destined by the heavens, marked by power, betrayal, and hope.


Moon Embracing the Sun is not just another historical drama — it’s a deeply emotional journey that etches itself into your soul. Starring Kim Soo-hyun in one of his most iconic roles, the drama plunges us into a world of palace secrets, conspiracies, and a love so strong even death cannot erase it.

Kim Soo-hyun shines as young King Lee Hwon, a charismatic yet deeply wounded ruler. His performance is heart-wrenching and subtle, delivering emotions through every glance and a voice that carries both strength and sorrow.

The chemistry between the leads is magical, and the story perfectly balances fantasy, politics, and romance. The reunion scenes, the emotional tension, and the ever-present sense of destiny make this drama a truly unforgettable gem.

Highlights:
The emotional journey and growth of Hwon.
Visually poetic cinematography.
A soundtrack that turns every scene into poetry.

Moon Embracing the Sun is a tale of true love, justice, and fate — and a perfect example of why Kim Soo-hyun is one of the finest actors of his generation.
