"River Where The Moon Rises" Announces It's Wrapping Up Filming + Will Be Submitted For Consideration At International Emmy Awards

KBS 2TV’s “River Where the Moon Rises” is finally wrapping up filming!

On April 9, the producers of “River Where the Moon Rises” officially announced that after what can only be described as an eventful run, the popular historical drama has finally reached the end of filming.

The producers revealed, “We are currently preparing for our final shoot on April 12.”

Additionally, the drama’s production company has announced that “River Where the Moon Rises” will officially be submitted for consideration at the 49th International Emmy Awards.

“River Where the Moon Rises” had already completed 95 percent of filming by the beginning of March, but when its original male lead Ji Soo was swept up in allegations of school violence, the drama’s future suddenly fell into uncertainty. In the end, Ji Soo was removed from the drama and replaced with Na In Woo—but with 95 percent of filming already completed, the process of reshooting all of the male lead’s scenes was an arduous and time-consuming task.

However, the cast and crew’s hard work ultimately paid off. Na In Woo’s addition to the drama and his chemistry with co-star Kim So Hyun received an overwhelmingly positive response from viewers—so much so that the producers of “River Where the Moon Rises” eventually decided to reshoot the first six episodes of the drama, which had already aired prior to Ji Soo’s removal, with Na In Woo (in order to make the full drama available to viewers on Korean VOD sites).

After completing filming on April 12, “River Where the Moon Rises” will air its final episode on April 20 at 9:30 p.m. KST.
