This week’s episodes of “River Where the Moon Rises” bring plenty of pain and little in the way of levity. The portents of doom sprinkled last week bloom into war and revolt, as Go Won Pyo (Lee Hae Young) and Go Geon (Lee Ji Hoon) decide to stop manipulating King Pyeongwon (Kim Bup Rae) and go straight for the throne themselves.
Pyeonggang (Kim So Hyun) is prepared for what’s coming and what she has to do to rid Goguryeo of Go Won Pyo once and for all. But the man who loves her (Na In Woo) finds that he couldn’t possibly have known the extent of what he would have to bear. Without further ado, these are the moments that had us tearing up this week.
“River Where the Moon Rises” ups the ante this week as we get battles, palace machinations, near-deaths, real deaths, and kidnappings. Pyeonggang (Kim So Hyun) and On Dal (Na In Woo) wade through the murky waters of Goguryeo politics as the Sunno Tribe is finally restored to its former glory. But as enemies close in on all sides and former allies switch loyalties, the question arises as to how long our favorite couple will escape unscathed and whether they’ll see the danger surrounding them before it’s too late.
Here are the moments that had us on the edge of our seats, and what they mean for Pyeonggang, Dal, and where this show is headed!
