As Moon River progresses into its fifth episode, viewers are bracing for a significant ratings showdown with SBS’s mega-hit drama Taxi Driver 3, which has returned for its third season after peaking at 21% viewership in season 2.
In the episode aired on November 21, Kim Sejeong’s character Park Dal-i steps further into royal intrigue as Crown Prince Lee Kang (played by Kang Tae Oh) finds himself trapped in Park Dal-i’s body. This body swap twist has taken viewers by surprise, shifting not only gender roles but the rigid social hierarchies of the Joseon-era court.
Lee Kang, now a prince in the body of a common woman, becomes desperate to reclaim his original form. As political rivalries grow fiercer and his hidden quest for revenge remains unresolved, his urgency intensifies. New stills reveal Lee Kang inhabiting Park Dal-i’s body entering the palace as a junior eunuch, exuding determination with sharp, observant eyes despite his lowered gaze.
Meanwhile, Park Dal-i, bewildered by seeing her own face reappear in the palace, reflects the growing chaos of their intertwined fates. The drama teases a high-stakes mission as both characters attempt to reclaim their true identities.
Though the series hit a personal best of 5.6% during episode 3, it fell to 4.1% in episode 4. Now, with Taxi Driver 3 reclaiming its primetime slot on Friday and Saturday nights, the real battle for viewership has begun. Industry watchers are keen to see how Moon River fares against Taxi Driver 3, known for its action-packed plotlines and dedicated fanbase.
Will Moon River hold its ground with its body-swap fantasy and romantic twists, or will it be overshadowed by the powerhouse return of the Rainbow Taxi team?
