'The Moon That Embraces The Sun' is quickly becoming one of Korea's top dramas this season!

The 8th episode that aired on January 26th gained 31.7% in viewer ratings, a number that's hard to come by considering how networks are increasing the number of dramas broadcasted each year.

The last time a Wednesday/Thursday drama achieved over 30% in ratings was in 2010 with 'Baker King Kim Tak Goo'. If all time slots are taken into account, then this is the first drama to achieve the 30% rating mark since 'Giant', which ended in December of 2010.

Although there are many memorable scenes in the drama, the one scene that stood out the most was in the last episode. The heated scene between Kim Soo Hyun and Han Ga In made the viewers' hearts flutter, leaving many in a state of desperation for the next episode.

To recap, Han Ga In leaned over the sleeping Kim Soo Hyun and gently touched his forehead. At that moment, Kim Soo Hyun opens his eyes and impulsively pulls Han Ga In down, pinning her to the mattress. Although he was shouting "Who are you? Who are you supposed to be?", viewers' hearts raced at seeing the actors' faces so close together. The drama froze on this scene as it ended, guaranteeing a strong turnout for the next episode.
