The new ENA historical fantasy romance drama Moon in the Day introduced viewers to Kim Young Dae as top star Han Joon Oh and Pyo Ye Jin as firefighter Kang Young Hwa when the story was halfway through in the premiere episode. They met for the first time during the promotional activities of a Public Service Announcement (PSA).
During her life as a firefighter, Kang Young Hwa gained attention from the media as a savior. She always made sure everybody was safe. No one died when she was in the field. The Department of Fire and Safety decided to use her popularity to create an advertisement. The top star portrayed the well-known firefighter on screen. He did not enjoy the role.
The First Meeting
Han Joon Oh met Kang Young Hwa during the press conference that featured the real hero meet the reel hero. Although the onscreen couple looked comfortable with each other in front of the camera, behind the scenes, they fought to the extent that the top star got bruises on his arm.
The male protagonist did not pay much attention to the firefighter when she was teaching him the safety measures. He was busy contacting his former lover, who called it quits with him. The female lead got irritated by the actor's attitude. She confronted him for not listening to her. When he continued to do the same, she snatched his phone and walked out. They had a heated argument at the filming location. The firefighter twisted the top star's arm in anger.
Han Joon Oh and Kang Young Hwa dealt with an unexpected situation towards the end of episode 1. The top star suffered from cancer and lost consciousness while he was sitting inside the car. The vehicle moved and fell into the water. When the firefighter saw it, she jumped into the water to save the actor. Although she brought him up, he was declared dead at the casualty. Immediately after the firefighter heard the sad news, she lost consciousness. The onscreen couple met again miraculously.
