Lee Jong Won & Kim Do Yeon Eye Romantic Drama with “Doona!” Writer
Rising stars Lee Jong Won and Kim Do Yeon are reportedly in talks to headline an upcoming historical romance tentatively titled Wish Upon a Moon Flower (or Pray for the Moon Flower).
The series is written by Jang Yoo Ha, acclaimed for Netflix’s Doona!, and unfolds in a prison-of-war village during a brutal military conflict. Their characters include:
- Baek Je Hee (Lee Jong Won): A legendary general from Gaero Kingdom known for his lethal skill and beauty, yet feared for his cold cruelty and detached demeanor.
- Yang Cho Seol (Kim Do Yeon): A gifted swordsmith whose elegance and grace—likened to a blooming peony—mask a strong inner resolve, earning respect even in harsh surroundings.
While both are reviewing the offers—Lee Jong Won via THEBLACKLABEL and Kim Do Yeon through Fantagio—official confirmations are still pending.
Notably, Pray for the Moon Flower marks Kim Do Yeon’s first official lead role, following her earlier minor parts and her time spent studying acting in the UK. Fans are eager to see her in a starring capacity.
If all goes well, production should begin soon, and viewers can look forward to a poignant, star-crossed romance set against the chaos of war—crafted by a writer known for emotionally compelling storytelling .
