Critic Reviews
The Moon Embracing the Sun (2012) Review: Palace Longing
★★★★☆
The Moon Embracing the Sun is a 2012 Joseon-era fantasy romance about a noblewoman lost to the palace who returns as a shaman. Lush, tearful and hugely popular.
Yes, with reservations. A sweeping, emotional sageuk romance for fans of historical K-drama, though the adult episodes never quite match the brilliant childhood opening.
