Moon in the Day K-drama Episode 3 release date, plot & more
Moon in the Day Episode 3 will premiere on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, at 9.00 p.m. KST on ENA and Genie TV. New episodes are also available on Viki.
The third episode’s trailer begins with Do Ha (Kim Young-Dae), who possesses Han Jun-Oh’s body, visiting a temple in search of a talisman. Previously, he tried to kill Young-Hwa but failed as a talisman protected her. Young-Hwa, who is a firefighter, starts working as his bodyguard.
In the background, he says, “Someone tried to kill me but Kang Young-Hwa’s side is the safest place.” The clip further shows Young-Hwa fighting with a group of thugs while Jun-Oh (or Do Ha) is kept hostage. The trailer ends with Young-Hwa getting injured and Do Ha realizing that they are both in danger.
Moon in the Day episodes 1 & 2 recap & spoilers
Moon in the Day premiered last week and opened on a positive note. Episode 1 began with Do Ha fighting in a war. As he executed Ha Ri-Ta’s entire family, she wanted to seek revenge.
The episode soon shifted to the present time where Do-Ha’s look-alike is top star Han Jun-Oh and Ri-Ta’s reincarnation is firefighter Kang Young-Hwa. The 21st-century characters meet during an advertisement shooting and end up fighting with each other.
Jun-Oh has a heart condition and thus he faints in his car. Suddenly, it starts to move forward towards the river. Young-Hwa runs towards the car to save him but it submerges into the water. She dives in and pulls out Jun-Oh but her feet get stuck. As she is drowning, Do Ha’s spirit appears and saves her. At the hospital, doctors declare Jun-Oh dead.
In Moon in the Day Episode 2, Jun-Oh’s body is in the morgue. Do Ha’s spirits enter his body. The first thing he does is to look for Young-Hwa. When they meet, she hugs him which takes him by surprise. He picks up a knife and tries to stab her but a mysterious force pushes him away from her. Later in the episode, Do Ha tries to kill Young-Hwa again but the same thing happens. He then realizes that a talisman is protecting her.
The reason why he waited for 1,500 years to possess a suitable body and kill Young-Hwa was shown in the beginning. Do Ha killed Ri-Ta’s family in the past but eventually they ended up as lovers. A few scenes from episodes 1 and 2 showed Do Ha protecting Ri-Ta from being caught. Despite being in love, Ri-Ta betrays and kills him. Hence, he turns into a vengeful spirit waiting to kill Ri-Ta. He finally gets the chance but a talisman protects her reincarnation Young-Hwa.
The upcoming episode will feature the lead characters being in danger. Moon in the Day airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays on ENA and Viki.
