Kim Young Dae is about to occupy the Wednesday and Thursday nights with his comeback series. He will be co-starring with "Taxi Driver" actress Pyo Ye Jin.

The two stars will portray dual roles as the narrative of the drama will go back and forth between the past and present times.

"Moon in the Day" presents the story of a man who is stuck in time after being killed by his partner, and a woman who has no memories of her past life and experiences time and life continuously.

While providing swoon-worthy scenes and showcasing his improved acting in "Destined With You," Rowoon is already booked to make his immediate return with "The Matchmakers" this October.

The idol-actor will again wear the various colors of the traditional hanbok as he immerses himself in the character of Shin Jung Woo, the widowed son-in-law of the king who is genius enough to become the youngest person to pass the Civil Service Exam.

Set in the backdrop of the Joseon Dynasty, the rom-com series will revolve its story around two marriage brokers helping single men and women who are in search of their true love.

Breakout star Cho Yi Hyun, who starred in "All of Us Are Dead," "School 2021," and "Hospital Playlist" will be Rowoon's new onscreen partner.

He is a strong-willed man who prioritizes logic over emotion. After starring in "Under the Queen's Umbrella," the actor will show a new side of his acting as he is about to act for the first time in a time-slip romance series about a contractual marriage.

He will work with award-winning actress Lee Se Young in this project and both lead stars are scheduled to meet the audience with their drama in November. The exact date of the release is yet to be confirmed by the broadcasting company.
