All The Exciting Deets About Kim Yoo Jung + Ahn Hyo Seop's Drama 'Lovers Of The Red Sky'
*August 2021 Update*
Our hearts are bursting right now: Kim Yoo Jung and Ahn Hyo Seop are officially starring in a K-drama together. They were confirmed as the leads of Lovers Of The Red Sky in December 2020, and TBH it was a pretty long wait before we were ~graced~ with more details about the show. Good new: we finally have a release date!
Here's every little thing we know about the drama (so far):
What's the plot of Lovers Of The Red Sky?
According to Soompi, the series is based on the novel Hong Chun Gi by Jung Eun Gwol, who also wrote Sungkyunkwan Scandal and The Moon Embracing The Sun. Lovers Of The Red Sky is a ~historical fantasy~ drama that will tell the story of "Joseon dynasty's only female painter who was born blind but miraculously gains vision."
These costumes are A++!
Who's in the cast?
