What is Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo about?
A woman from present-day Seoul drowns during a solar eclipse and surfaces a thousand years earlier in the body of a Goryeo noblewoman, dropped into a household of princes circling their father's throne. Her friendship with a scarred, masked fourth prince deepens into love just as the succession war turns lethal, and every kindness she offers eventually becomes a weapon in somebody else's hand.
