Moon Hee is a South Korean television series that aired on MBC America back in 2007. The drama features an ensemble cast led by Kang Soo-yeon and Lee Seung-yeon, who play the titular character, Moon Hee. The show is a riveting tale of love, betrayal, and redemption that centers around two women who navigate the challenging landscape of Korean society during the late 20th century.

The story of Moon Hee takes place in Seoul, South Korea during the 1970s and 1980s. It follows the lives of two young women from different backgrounds who become friends and confidants. Kang Soo-yeon plays the role of Moon Hee, a young woman born into poverty who dreams of becoming a successful fashion designer. On the other hand, Lee Seung-yeon takes on the role of Kim Yoon-joo, a wealthy young woman with a complicated family history.

Both Moon Hee and Yoon-joo face their share of challenges as they try to achieve their dreams in a society that is deeply divided by class and gender. Moon Hee's struggles come from her impoverished background, lack of formal education, and the prejudice that she faces as a woman in a male-dominated society. Still, she persists in her goals and overcomes many obstacles, always with a positive outlook on life.

However, Yoon-joo faces a different set of problems that come from her privileged background. Despite her wealth and status, she is emotionally neglected by her dysfunctional family, particularly by her abusive father. This leads her to seek solace in Moon Hee's friendship, which becomes one of the primary sources of support for both women as they navigate their respective challenges.

Moon Hee and Yoon-joo's friendship is put to the test when they both fall in love with the same man, the wealthy and ambitious Baek Sung-hyun. Baek is torn between his love for both women, leading to a complicated love triangle that threatens to derail their friendship. The drama delves into the complex emotions that arise from such a situation, showcasing the depth of the characters' relationships and the struggle to balance love and loyalty.

As the story unfolds, Moon Hee and Yoon-joo find themselves drawn into the political turmoil of the era, culminating in the Gwangju Uprising of 1980. The events of the uprising have a profound impact on both women, forcing them to question their values, beliefs, and relationships. The drama weaves a compelling narrative that explores the human cost of political unrest and the sacrifices that people make in the pursuit of justice.

Overall, Moon Hee is an engaging and emotional drama that tackles weighty themes of class, gender, love, and politics. Its brilliant performances by Kang Soo-yeon and Lee Seung-yeon, coupled with its intricate storyline, make it a must-watch for anyone interested in Korean dramas. With its rich characters and poignant story arcs, Moon Hee asks us to reflect on what truly matters in life and what it means to pursue our dreams, no matter the cost.

Moon Hee is a series that ran for 1 seasons (49 episodes) between August 16, 2011 and on MBC America
