Yoo Seung-ho’s 2017’s The Emperor: Owner of the Mask was a hit as the 4th most-watched drama of that year, and we’ll get the chance to see him in hanbok in another historical drama that’s set to air in the second half of this year. The new drama, When The Flowers Bloom, I Think Of The Moon, will be Hyeri’s first historical drama.

A slice of life historical drama

When The Flowers Bloom, I Think Of The Moon follows the lives of 4 youths growing up in the Joseon Dynasty during a period of time where alcohol is prohibited. The drama will also touch on friendship, romance, and alcohol amidst the uptight and restrictive way of life during that era.

Hyeri will be playing the role of Kang Ro-seo, a daughter of a noble family whose finances went downhill when she turned 13. She took up various odd jobs and is now making alcohol to pay off her family’s debts.

When The Flowers Bloom, I Think Of The Moon is Hyeri’s first historical drama in her acting career. It’s also her second leading role this year. Her drama My Roommate Is a Gumiho, currently airing, sees her as Lee Dam, a college student who crossed paths with a nine-tailed fox in his human form. 

The duo end up cohabitating with each other after she accidentally swallows the bead that allows the fox to become human to solve this unforeseen circumstance.
