The era of “The Moon that Embraces the Sun,” which had given KBS and SBS dark/ominous times, is slowly fading away.
On March 14th, MBC’s 20 episode Wed-Thurs drama, “The Moon that Embraces the Sun,” finally reached its end.
Because of the recent circumstances (MBC’s success), SBS’s Wed-Thurs drama “Rooftop Prince’s” PR department is promoting “Rooftop Prince” more than ever [to try to combat MBC]. Because of the main actors, JYJ’s Park Yoochun and actress Han Ji Min, there is already hot anticipation from fans. Word of mouth from the network is that the script is good and because the Joseon King’s fantasty-romance piece is similar to “The Moon that Embraces the Sun,” the plan/hope is that viewers of “The Moon that Embraces the Sun” would transfer their attention to “Rooftop Prince.”
Participating alongside “Rooftop Prince” is MBC’s drama “King 2 Hearts,” which, because of the lineup of “invincible” actress Ha Ji Won, will be slightly tough for “Rooftop Prince” (to receive top viewer ratings). However, because there is such high appraisal of the script for “Rooftop Prince,” there are high expectations from within the network. Because “Rooftop Prince” is similar to “The Moon that Embraces the Sun,” it’s forecasted that it will not be “trampled over” by “King 2 Hearts.”
SBS’s “Rooftop Prince” and MBC’s “King 2 Hearts” will both air their first episodes on March 21st.

Midweek MBC drama “The Moon that Embraces the Sun” will not air this week following a strike by the program’s director, Kim Do Hoon. Earlier in the day, the network said it was unsure whether the program would continue to air, but later made the final announcement.

“We filmed up until March 5, but recording for March 6 was cancelled. Episode 19, slated to air on March 7, is yet incomplete, and for now, airing seems impossible,” the network representative said. Instead of the 19th and 20th episodes, MBC will air a special-edition show based on the drama.

Union members of three of the nation’s leading broadcasters – KBS, MBC and YTN – went on strike on March 5 to protest what they saw as politically biased reporting.

Due to various program directors taking part in the union strike, other MBC dramas, such as “Feast of the Gods,” “A Military Subject” and “Just like Today,” are also at risk of being cancelled this week.

Filming for MBC’s hit drama ‘The Sun and the Moon’ has come to a halt, following the announcement that the director of the drama Kim Do Hoon would be joining the ongoing labor union strike.

Director Kim Do Hoon, along with a number of other MBC drama PDs, decided to join the strike which has continued five weeks so far. He plans to attend the company's union meeting to make his decision official. He has already explained his situation to the cast and staff of ‘The Sun and the Moon’.

Oh Kyeong Hoon, the chief producer of the drama, also announced his intent to join the strike on March 5, making it difficult for production to continue. Although there have been several strikes on MBC's history, no dramas has ended abruptly because of a strike.

A representative of MBC union announced that most of other directors and drama staffs will join the strike pretty soon. He said, "We don't know if the company will provide the team with additional men power, but I am afraid that most dramas will have to be cancelled."

Filming for ‘The Sun and the Moon’ was last held on March 5 and production set for March 6 has been suspended. As filming for the 19th episode, which was set to air on March 7, is not yet completed, it is likely the episode will not be broadcast as scheduled.
