SYNOPSIS
The sun symbolizes the king of the Chosun Dynasty. The moon represents the Queen. Heo Yeon Woo (Han Ga In), the daughter of a noble family, is chosen to become the Crown Princess (and the future queen) of the Chosun empire, but power-hungry members of the court have their own succession plans in mind. The Queen Dowager Jung Hui (Kim Young Ae) orders Yeon Woo to be killed so that Yoon Bo Kyung (Kim Min Seo) can become the Crown Princess instead. Although everyone believes that the hit on her life is successful, Yeon Woo is secretly saved by Jang Nok Young (Jun Mi Sun), the most powerful shaman of the day, and raised among the shamans. Heartbroken over the death of his love, Crown Prince Lee Hwon (Kim Soo Hyun) becomes king and marries Bo Kyung but never consummates the marriage because his heart belongs to the love he lost. Eight years later, a mysterious shaman who bears a striking resemblance to Yeon Woo comes to court. King Hwon calls the shaman Wol, but the woman has no memory of her life before she became a shaman eight years ago. In his heart, King Hwon is convinced that Wol is the presumed-dead Yeon Woo and is determined to investigate the events surrounding her supposed death. Can Wol discover her unknown past and reclaim her rightful position in the court? "The Moon Embracing the Sun," also known as "The Moon That Conceals the Sun," is a 2012 South Korean drama series directed by Kim Do Hoon. Based on the 2005 novel The Moon That Embraces the Sun by Jung Eun Kwol, who also wrote the popular novel-turned award-winning drama "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" (2010), the series won for best drama and best actor at the 2012 Baeksang Art Awards.
