Meet the star-crossed lovers from Moon in the Day

by lovepark

ENA’s upcoming webtoon adaptation Moon in the Day has dropped a new teaser, which focuses on its two leads and their ill-fated destiny. Playing Shilla aristocrat turned vengeful spirit Do Ha is Kim Young-dae (The Forbidden Marriage), and the cause of his heartbreak is Daegaya nobility Han Ri-ta played by Pyo Ye-jin (Taxi Driver 2).

The latest teaser opens atop a building in the modern era, but whereas our leading lady wears present-day attire, our hero is dressed in traditional clothes. She addresses him as “my lord,” and the scene switches to the past where the two leads are happily in love. He lies on her lap underneath a tree, but as he grabs her hand, the teaser abruptly cuts to Ri-ta slashing Do Ha’s throat. As he clutches his wound and stares at her with pained eyes, the text on the screen reads: “My lover who killed me.”

Returning to the present, Do Ha stands across from his past love who has become firefighter Kang Young-hwa. The teaser calls Do Ha her jibakryeong (a grudgeful ghost unable to leave a certain place), and learning from his mistake, he draws his sword first. With a determined look, Do Ha vows, “This time, I’ll surely be the one to kill you first.”

Along with the teaser, the show has also released stills of the couple from their past lives. There seems to be a bit of distance between them in the beginning, but from the look of things, Do Ha and Ri-ta may have fallen in love before their bitter end. Why exactly did she kill him, and after waiting 1500 years for his revenge, will he fall for her again?

Directed by PD Pyo Min-soo (The Third Charm, The Producers) with scripts penned by Kim Hye-won, ENA’s Moon in the Day will premiere on November 1, following The Kidnapping Day in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
