I just finished watching the 20 episodes of Moon Embracing the Sun and I must say, it was truly a great Korean drama. It was during the Joseon Dynasty yet the characters are fictional. The story began with Ho Yeun Nuh, the daughter of Palace's Chief Scholar being selected as the Crowned Princess. Because of Queen Dowagers intention to have her relatives on the position, she asked the Head Shaman Jang to cast a curse against the Crowned Princess. Being the protector of the Moon(Crowned Princess as she is), she made a way to make fool of the Queen. Head Shaman gave the Yeun Nuh an illness and have her drink a medicine that stopped her heartbeat. Right after the burial, Yeun Nuh's body was dug by the Head Shaman and was brought from a place where no one could recognize her. Yeun Nuh lost her memory as the effect of the curse and lived her life as a shaman. After 8 years, Head Shaman together with Yeun Nuh returned to the palace. On their belief that Yeun Nuh has a magical power, a royal command was executed, ordering Yeun Nuh to guard the sick King ( formerly the Crowned Prince) every night while he is asleep. After one night, the King suddenly became healthy and the sickness was gone instantly. The King fell in love with Yeon Nuh. To be continued.....
