Kim So Hyun has already confirmed to star in this drama. However, On Dal, who will soon be the husband of Princess Pyeonggang is still unofficial. Jisoo, on the other hand, is still in talks with a great possibility that he may take the role according to the exclusive news report of Sports Dong-a on October 13. Jisoo is currently reviewing the role positively, and many hope he will take the role.
Jisoo has appeared in several smaller roles on television. Still, his role in the television drama "Angry Mom" was one of his notable breakout roles, which he, later on, proved to viewers that he was a good actor when he appeared in "Sassy Go Go." If Jisoo accepts the role, this will be another historical drama for him before appearing in "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo" as the 14th Prince.
Moreover, Kim So Hyun playing the main role, is highly anticipated by viewers. Many are happy that she will be taking this role as she is considered one of the great actresses in her generation. Her achievements include being coined as the "Nation's Little Sister." This Australian born has her heart set to become an actress. She started as a child actress and has gained media attention for her exquisite performance as the abominable young queen-to-be in Moon Embracing the Sun.
If you love martial arts, you will probably enjoy watching Kim So Hyun fight to achieve her dream.
Additionally, Son Ye Jin was previously in talks for the leading role but probably was not cast because she was not young enough to take the princess's role.
