U-NEXT Corporation, part of the USEN & U-NEXT GROUP, will release DVD-BOX 1 of the Korean drama 'When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon' on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, at 12:00 PM through its online store, U-NEXT Asia ONLINE STORE. DVD-BOX 2 is scheduled for release in May 2026.
'When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon' is a pure love historical romance set during the prohibition-era Joseon dynasty, following a woman who survives by illegally brewing alcohol and the officer who enforces the ban. While a romance, the series also skillfully weaves in elements of mystery and past grudges, creating a deep and captivating story for viewers. The series gained attention for its young cast, with lead actress Lee Hyeri winning the Top Excellence Award for an Actress in a Miniseries at the KBS Drama Awards, and co-stars Byeon Woo-seok and Kang Mi-na winning Best New Actor/Actress awards.
Yoo Seung-ho, a talented actor who started as a child star and is popular for his roles in works like the Korean adaptation of 'Dragon Zakura,' takes the lead. In his first historical drama in about four years since 'The Emperor: Owner of the Mask,' he plays Nam Young, a principled and dignified but romantically inexperienced officer. He realistically portrays Young's straightforward sense of justice and occasional gentle smiles that flutter the heart.
Playing opposite him is Lee Hyeri ('My Roommate Is a Gumiho,' 'Brain Cooperation'), who portrays Kang Ro-seo, a noblewoman who turns to illegal brewing to pay off her debts. In her first historical drama role, she delivers a spirited performance as a strong-willed heroine determined to change her fate, captivating viewers with her determined gaze.
The story follows Ro-seo, who starts illegal brewing during the prohibition, and Young, the officer tasked with catching her. As these two opposites find their fates intertwined, their gradual attraction and heart-fluttering, unstated moments are a must-see. The plot is further entangled with court conspiracies and past connections, creating a thrilling and suspenseful experience.
The drama also features Byeon Woo-seok ('Lovely Runner') and Kang Mi-na ('Hotel del Luna,' formerly of gugudan). Their characters, Crown Prince Lee Pyo (played by Woo-seok) and noble lady Han Ae-jin (played by Mi-na), join the main couple in a love square. The development of their love and friendship, which eventually has the power to move the nation, is truly moving.
'When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon' DVD-BOX 1 includes both the original Korean audio and a Japanese dub, along with deluxe bonus features like making-of footage and cast interviews. The package also contains exclusive trading cards and postcards. It is available exclusively at the U-NEXT Asia ONLINE STORE.
