New Teaser for 'Ruler-Master of the Mask'

[keytfelt.livejournal.com]

A second teaser has been released for MBC’s sageuk romance Ruler–Master of the Mask, starring Yoo Seung-ho as a lonely crown prince forced to hide his face behind a mask.

The teaser opens with Yoo Seung-ho asking his father, “If I take off this mask, will more people die?” As Kim So-hyun brandishes a sword in the street and is overtaken by soldiers, Yoo Seung-ho fights the shadow organization with his mask on. He continues in voiceover, “Why are you killing them all? What is the real reason I must wear this mask? Please tell me!”

The story set in Joseon is about a shadow organization that’s out to privatize the water supply to line their greedy pockets and make the rich richer, and a lonely righteous crown prince who is determined to protect his people. Kim So-hyun co-stars as a young woman determined to get revenge on the prince for ordering the execution of her father, but that revenge will take a big turn when she falls in love with the prince instead.

Yoon So-hee plays a tragic figure who will betray her family for love—she’s the granddaughter of the shadow organization’s leader, played by Heo Joon-ho, and she’ll forsake her corrupt family in order to love the prince. Infinite’s L is the poor son of a butcher with a brilliant mind who becomes a stand-in for the prince. Now that we know the mask is literal, this explains how someone else could act as a double for the prince.

Ruler–Master of the Mask is directed by PD Noh Do-chul and comes from newbie writers Park Hye-jin and Jung Hae-ri. It follows Radiant Office on Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning May 10.

I'm offended they cast Yoo Seungho in a show and then covered his face so we can't see it.

Kim Sohyun looks pretty badass with her sword

Just reading about the love triangle (or will L fall in 'love' with one of the ladies as well?? probably) makes my blood boil, but apart from that I think this could be interesting. Also really looking forward to Yoo Seung-ho returning to sageuk!!
