Moonshine - aka When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon
https://next-episode.net/when-flowers-b … f-the-moon
Set during the late Joseon period, when a strict alcohol prohibition has been enacted.
Nam Young (Yoo Seung-Ho) works as an officer for the Saheonbu. One of missions at the Saheonbu is to crackdown on people who break the alcohol prohibition. Nam Young came to Hanyang (old name for Seoul) from his hometown to find success. He has an attractive physical appearance and is a man of principals. He meets Kang Ro-Seo (Hyeri) and becomes confused by her.
Kang Ro-Seo is the daughter of a poor noble family. She is actually the breadwinner in her family. She doesn’t mind doing manual labor for money. To pay off debt that she fallen into, she starts brewing alcohol during the strict alcohol prohibition period.
Unlike American series, Kdramas don't hope for good ratings for a further season. These dramas have a beginning and a conclusion after a set amount of episodes. You get to see where things went after all and who died along the way to get there so to speak.
I didn't realize this show was still ongoing when I ran across it and began watching and I will shortly catch up to the current episode and have to do some waiting but it's near the end so the waiting won't be long.
When I found it, the title I found it under was Moonshine which is the English title, and a title I prefer over the literal title, When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon. In our next-episode description there's a sentence that says "a poor man and his wife who start to make drinks to pay off their debts". All I have to say is "Huh?" Who's the poor man and his wife that have to do this? Are we talking about the same program? I don't think so.
Anyways, I probably need to open a thread and recommend a new picture and possibly to have the title changed to Moonshine although there are 22 people who have already added it in the other title.
Anyway, it's a pretty good show. Bad guys, good guys, and what seems to be somewhere in between.
