He navigates through the dilemma of choosing sides, which is perfectly captured by Lee Shin-young’s performance in Moon River. Just as in his performance in projects such as Captivating the King, Dr. Romantic, Crash Landing on You, etc., his performance in this series also captures the depth of the situations that his character goes through.

When the Jimjo was about to attack, Yi-kang had no other option but to kill it. Dal-i begins to regret that their plan is now ruined because of her. However, Yi-kang reassures her. It can be understood that the next episode of Moon River will be taking the stakes higher and also showing the progress in Yi-kang and Dal-i’s relationship.
