What to Expect from "When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon"

The historical drama will take place during the late Joseon Dynasty when a strict prohibition was imposed. 

Byun Woo Seok is set to take on the role of crown prince Lee Pyo, who is against the harsh restriction of the law. 

Initially, he is not destined to be the heir to the throne, but due to unforeseeable circumstances, he ascends to the position; however, despite his capabilities, there's one thing that he can't give up. 

The crown prince usually sneaks out of the palace to go to drinking places that caused inconvenience to the kingdom.

On the other hand, Kang Mina will portray Han Ae Jin, the only daughter of a noble family. 

Her character was described as a stubborn and straightforward person who is eager to do what she wants and hates being told what to do. 

Given that she grew up in an aristocratic environment, her family has a say when it comes to marriage, but with her attitude, she insists on having a good-looking husband if she has to look at his face for the rest of her life.

As for Yoo Seung Ho and Girl's Day's Hyeri, the "I am Not a Robot" actor will play inspector Nam Young, who works for the Inspector-General's Office. 

This will be his on-screen return starring in the historical drama after his 2017 "The Emperor: Owner of the Mask," where he portrayed Crown Prince Lee Sun. 

In "When Flowers Bloom, I Think of the Moon," he was described as someone who has stunning features, making him popular with the local women. 

Unfortunately, his only interests are in books and dubbed as the walking embodiment of the Four Books and Five Classics. 

His life changed when he crossed paths with Hyeri's character, Kang Ro Seo. 

She grew up in a wealthy family but due to an unpredicted situation. At age 13, Kang Ro Seo starts making money to pay for her mother's medication, as well as her brother's education.
