Moon Embracing the Sun Soon on GMA 7 Kapuso Network.

GMA 7 really knows what Korean dramas to broadcast. Although I have not watched Moon Embracing the Sun [METS] I knew that this particular historical drama, [fictional] was a success during the time it broadcasted in Korea through MBC. It got high ratings then but they only decided to make 20 episodes. 

Official broadcast of METS on GMA 7 will be on August 13, 2012 on it's prime time.

It's on my list of "to watch lists" but never got to start watching it yet. But I will. :))

Will post the cast  and the summary of the drama.

Main Cast

Wol / Heo Yeon Woo (Han Ga In) {Child : Kim Yoo Jung}
She was saved by a female shaman when she was young when she was plotted to be killed by the people who are both jealous and fearful of her beauty and wits when she was just a young girl. Having grown up to be a female shaman under the name of Wol (Moon), she re-encounters Lee Hyon whom she was once betrothed to. Upon noticing the many similiarities between Wol and Yeon Woo, Lee Hyon begins to fall for her. Lee Hyon's half older brother, Yang Myung Gun who gets attracted to her kind nature begins to fall for her as well. Will she be able to survive when the suspicions are once are aroused that the supposely dead Yeon Woo is still alive?



Lee Hyon (Kim Soo Hyun) {Child : Yeo Jin Goo}
Lee Hyon became a changed person after the killing of his betrothed, Yeon Woo. Not longer is he the kind-hearted boy that everyone in the palace/court used to like but a cold, hearted person who refused to love nor accept love no matter how hard Yoon Bo Gyung, the girl who had replaced Woo as his wife tries to win his heart. But his heart began to start beating again after his encounter with Wol who has lots of many similiarities with the already dead Yeon Woo. 



Prince Yang Myung / Yang Myung Goon (Jung Il Woo) {Child : Lee Min Ho}
His given title is Prince Yang Myung / Yang Myung Goon. He and Lee Hyon are half-brothers who have the same mother but different father. Due to Lee Hyon's father being the king, the position of the crown prince was passed down to Lee Hyon although he is older in age, talented and more well mannered than Lee Hyon. And most likely because he is the elder brother, he is always trying to give in / not fight with his brother for anything. He projects an image of a playboy especially after the death of his first wife. But then with the appearance of Wol, he finds himself fighting for something he wants against his brother for the first time.



Yoon Bo Kyung / Queen Yoon (Kim Min Seo) {Child : Kim So Hyun}
She became the first official wife of Lee Hwon after the death of Yeon Woo but received none of his love as a woman.
Although she appears to be a kind and warm person, she hides her real face under the mask of lies and pretending to be nice.



Heo Yeom (Song Jae Hee) {Child : Si Wan}
He is the elder brother of Yeon Woo who adores his sister dearly. Although he is marries Princess Min Hwa through an arranged marriage, his heart remains with "Sul" the serving maid of Yeon Woo whom he had grown up with, causing Min Hwa's hatred of him of not thinking of her as a woman.


 
Woon (Song Jae Rim) He is the loyal bodyguard of Lee Hwon who is cold on the outside but warm within. Although he is blessed with good looks, brains and fighting skills, he is faulted as being born as the son of a concubine which gives him a lowly status although he is the son of a nobleman.[/img]


Princess Min Hwa (Nam Bora) {Child : Jin Ji Hee}
Due to a childish streak of jealous towards Yeon Woo when they were young, Min Hwa unwittingly becomes involved in the plot to kill Yeon Woo. She has been carrying the guilty conscience ever since she knew that Yeon Woo was killed because of her childish act and hopes to make amends towards her family especially after marrying Yeom, Yeon Woo's brother whom she loved with all her heart but he doesn't even think of her as a woman to love after their marriage.


Sul [Snow] (Yoon Seung Ah)
She was the maid serving Yeon Woo before her supposed death and had grown up with both Yeom and Yeon Woo since they were young. She followed and served Wol who lost her memories, protecting her with the martial arts she learnt from the enemies who are out to harm her.
