All the Wang So and Hae Soo fans out there are in for a treat. The couple might get a happy ending after all as the online petition for Moon lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo Season 2 reached its goal.
An avid fan from Italy launched the petition in change.org, a popular petition website that has a user base of almost 100 million. The petition calls for a sequel to the popular TV series which has become a huge hit for Korean drama viewers world wide, although it has low ratings in Korea.
iTech Post reports that the popular TV show is based on the Chinese version called Bu Bu Jing Xin. The petition requests the Seoul Broadcasting System to make a sequel to season 1 like the Chinese one.
It added that the petition also demands that the actors keep their contracts for the new one as well. The goal was originally reported to get 35,000 signatures, to get noticed by CEO and President of SBS, Lee Woong Mo but the tally has gone beyond that with 37,554 supporters.
According to ChattSports, the Korean drama did not begin well because it aired along with Moonlight drawn by clouds, and when the latter tv series ended, Moon lovers improved and was on an upward trajectory until it reached its finale.The finale gave a uncertain conclusion to Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo and with its success internationally, the petition seems to have gained traction.
Whether this would persuade SBS to push through Season 2 is anybody's guess at this point and is still unconfirmed. Moon lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo features a 25-year-old woman living in the 21st century who gets transported back in time to be reborn as Hae Soo who courts princes in the Goryeon Dynasty.
