"The Moon Embracing the Sun" is setting a record.

The MBC drama "The Moon Embracing the Sun" has reached 30% in just eight episodes and it seems like the advertisement profits should reach an outstanding amount as well.

An MBC spokesperson recently told News N, ""The Moon Embracing the Sun" has sold out in advertisements. It looks like it will continue that way until the final twentieth episode".

The drama has sold out from actual broadcast to re-runs and is running the high peak of popularity.

The unit cost of "The Moon Embracing the Sun" is 13,485,000 Won. With an average of 70 minutes, 28 advertisements for each episode add up to 377,580,000 Won. If this keeps up until the twentieth episode, the profits will be 7,551,600,000 Won. With the additional re-runs, the price goes up to 10 billion Won (~$10 million).

Meanwhile, on the eighth episode of the drama "The Moon Embracing the Sun", Lee Hwon (Kim Soo-hyeon) recognized who Yeon-woo (Han Ga-in) was.
