Filipino viewers can now watch the Tagalog-dubbed version of the popular K-drama “Lovers of the Red Sky,” starring Kim Yoo-jung and Ahn Hyo-seop, on GMA-7.
The broadcasting network began airing the series last week, scheduling it every weekday at 5:10 p.m. (Manila time)
Before arriving on Philippine free television, “Lovers of the Red Sky” originally premiered in August 2021 as a Viu Original. During its early production stages, the project generated significant anticipation under its working title, “Hong Cheon-gi,” especially following the casting announcements of its main leads. The series is based on the popular novel of the same name written by Jung Eun-gwol.
A mythical curse links a painter and an astrologer
In the historical fantasy series, Kim Yoo-jung plays Hong Cheon-gi, a talented female painter who was born blind but miraculously recovered her sight. Ahn Hyo-seop stars as Ha Ram, a blind astrologer who lost his vision during a childhood rainmaking ritual but retains the ability to read the constellations.
Gong Myung joins the main cast as the romantic and free-spirited Grand Prince Yangmyeong, while Kwak Si-yang plays the ambitious and ruthless Grand Prince Juhyang.
The plot centers on the intertwined fates of Hong Cheon-gi and Ha Ram as they deal with a divine curse and the lingering threat of a powerful demon king known as the “Ma Wang.” When the evil entity takes residence inside Ha Ram, the characters must find a way to seal the spirit away while dealing with their growing feelings for one another.
The broadcast on GMA Network provides local fans an accessible way to experience this mix of historical romance, palace politics, and fantasy elements.
