Actors Kim Young-dae and Pyo Ye-jin will lead ENA's upcoming fantasy romance series “Moonrise During The Day.”

The network announced that the two have confirmed their roles, along with actors On Joo-wan and Jung Woong-in.

Based on the hit webcomics of the same name, the new series will revolve around the top actor, Han Joon-oh (Kim), and a firefighter-turned-bodyguard Kang Young-hwa (Pyo). Despite his heartthrob image, Han is far from living his best life, as he suffers from insecurity. But when he gets into a car accident while shooting a commercial on the set, he gets possessed by the spirit of a nobleman from the Silla Kingdom (57 B.C ― 676 A.D), which turns his personality around completely.

Kang used to be a firefighter, but when she gets into an accident with Han, she faces a major change in life, becoming Han's personal bodyguard.

On will play the character of Han Min-oh, who is the CEO of Han's agency, and Jung will play the role of Suk Cheol-hwan, the agency's former CEO, who became homeless after getting kicked out of his position by Han Min-oh.

The series is led by the director Pyo Min-su, whose previous work includes the comedy series “The Producers” (2015) and the romantic comedy series “Heartstrings” (2011).
