‘Ruler: Master of the Mask’ Official Group Photos Released By MBC Ahead of May 10 Premiere
MBC just dropped three official posters from the upcoming TV series, "Ruler: Master of the Mask."
Last week, the network released individual character posters featuring all of the characters from the Wednesday-Thursday Korean drama. This week, the new posters gave fans a sneak peek into what they can expect from "Ruler: Master of the Mask" starting May 10.
All three posters featured cast members Yoo Seung Ho, Kim So Hyun, Kim Myung Soo, Yoon So Hee and Heo Joon So. According to Soompi, the third poster, which features Kim Myung Soo and Yoo Seung Ho, can be considered the most intriguing of the three because it has the words, "I am Lee Sun, the true rule of Joseon," written on it.
"Ruler: Master of the Mask" is a historical period drama that will chronicle the struggles between the crown prince and the head of a group that gains wealth and power by illegally controlling the waters of Joseon's eight provinces. Also dubbed as a "fact-ion" drama, the new TV show will feature a mix of politics and melodrama in each episode.
Yoo Seung Ho will play the role of Crown Prince Lee Sun, and he will be fighting against an entire organization called Pyunsoo Hwe. Crown Prince Lee Sun will also serve as the voice and hope for the people of his town who are all afraid to fight against the Pyunsoo Hwe. Also helping Crown Prince Lee Sun is Ha Ga-Eun (Kim So Hyun), the woman that he loves. Crown Prince Lee Sun will train Han Ga-Eun to also become a ruler like him.
Kim Myung Soo will play the role of a commoner and Yoon So Hee will give life to the character of Kim Hwa-gun. Other supporting cast members include Park Chul Min as Lee Sun's teacher, Choi Ji Na as Lee Sun's mother, Lee Chae Young as Mae Chang and more.
"Ruler: Master of the Mask" will premiere on MBC on May 10 at 10 p.m.
