The his meeting with Jung Da-hae (Lee Sun-bin), an employee of his company, who turns his daily life upside down. Through her contact, he rediscovers a passion he had thought extinguished, and dares to hope again.
A richer character than in the novel
In the TV adaptation, Ham Ji-woo's role has been considerably developed. The production team confided that Kim Young-dae was able to give his character a three-dimensional dimension, making his emotions and contradictions palpable. His natural complicity with Lee Sun-bin won over the whole set, confirming his status as a male lead capable of making hearts beat faster.
Part social drama, part emotional romance, To the Moon promises to reach a wide audience, evoking both today's economic struggles and the importance of never giving up on your dreams. Scheduled to premiere on September 19 at 9:50pm (KST) on MBC (awaiting international distribution).
