MBC is gearing up for a potential rebound with its new Friday-Saturday drama To the Moon, premiering September 19 at 9:50 p.m. The series follows three women struggling to survive on meager salaries who dive headfirst into cryptocurrency investment, weaving a hyper-realistic survival story with plenty of humor and relatability.
The show comes on the heels of Mary Kills People, which ended on September 12 with a final rating of just 1.2%, making it the lowest-rated drama in its time slot. With MBC facing a challenging year overall in terms of drama performance, expectations are high for To the Moon.
The cast boasts popular names with strong audience appeal, including Lee Sun Bin, Ra Mi Ran, Jo A Ram, and Kim Young Dae. Early reports from the set describe palpable chemistry and teamwork, promising dynamic on-screen synergy.
Lee Sun Bin, who plays Jung Da Hae, praised her co-stars Ra Mi Ran and Jo A Ram, saying they became like close friends through the process: “Even during tough shoots, we endured together. I wonder if I’ll ever find this kind of team chemistry again.” She also described her romantic storyline with Kim Young Dae as “fresh and full of charm,” noting that his unique personality brought a special energy to filming.
Ra Mi Ran recalled the group filming experience with laughter: “Because so many scenes had the three of us together, the set was always lively and fun. Sun Bin and A Ram really put effort into keeping me entertained.”
Jo A Ram admitted initial concerns about playing a high-energy character so different from her real-life reserved personality but said her co-stars’ kindness allowed her to ease into the role naturally: “Thanks to them, I could fully become Ji Song on set.”
Kim Young Dae, who portrays Ham Ji Woo, highlighted the collaborative atmosphere with Lee Sun Bin: “She shared her ideas openly and respected mine, so we built details together through conversations before filming.” He explained that her character Da Hae helps his role confront personal flaws and rediscover his ambitions: “I put effort into portraying the natural deepening of his affection for her.”
Describing the overall mood, Kim added: “The lively energy between Da Hae, Eun Sang, and Ji Song carried over into every shoot. I always looked forward to going to the set.”
With its combination of relatable struggles, sharp humor, and a star-studded cast, To the Moon could provide the ratings boost MBC has been waiting for.
