SBS has released new stills of Ahn Hyo Seop in the upcoming drama “Lovers of the Red Sky”!
Based on a novel, “Lovers of the Red Sky” is a historical fantasy romance drama set in the Joseon era. Kim Yoo Jung stars as Hong Chun Gi, the Joseon Dynasty’s only female painter, who was born blind but miraculously regained her sight. Ahn Hyo Seop stars as blind astrologer Ha Ram, who is able to read the stars despite losing his sight.
The new stills show Ha Ram living an intriguing double life. He is already a striking figure in the palace with his red-tinted eyes, which occurred when he was caught up in a mysterious incident as a child and lost his sense of sight.
On one hand, Ha Ram is an official in the Seomungwan, a government organization in charge of astronomy, geography, calendar, almanac, weather forecasting, and more. In the palace, he is a favored official who has the confidence of the king. Although he cannot see what’s in front of him, he has an uncanny ability to read the stars. Although he has an upright attitude and elegant looks, some people are afraid of his red-tinted eyes.
But Ha Ram is also leading a double life as Il Wol Sung, the head of the intelligence organization Wol Sung Dang. As Il Wol Sung, he wears a mask to hide his identity. The reason that he took on the identity of Il Wol Sung is also related to how he got red-tinted eyes.
The production staff stated, “Please look forward to the multi-faceted Ha Ram, whom Ahn Hyo Seop has brought to life with his passion and hard work.”
“Lovers of the Red Sky” premieres on August 30 at 10 p.m. KST and will be available on Viu and Viki.
