Pale Moon (Korean: 종이달) is a 2023 South Korean television series starring Kim Seo-hyung, Yoo Sun, Seo Young-hee, Lee Si-woo, Gong Jung-hwan, Lee Chun-hee, and Yoon Hee-seok. It is based on a novel of the same name by Mitsuyo Kakuta, which was previously made into a movie and TV series in Japan. The series is an original drama of Genie TV, and is available for streaming on its platform, and on TVING.[1][4] It also aired on ENA from April 10 to May 9, 2023, every Monday and Tuesday at 22:00 (KST).[7]

The first episode of Pale Moon was screened at the Rendez-vous (non-competition section) of the 2023 Cannes International Series Festival on April 19, 2023.[8][9]

Synopsis

[edit]

The series follows the story of Yoo I-hwa (Kim Seo-hyung), a bored housewife with an indifferent and ambitious husband, who lives a comfortable but somewhat empty life. She then gets a job as a contract employee at a savings bank and gradually regains her confidence. However, her normal daily life becomes irreversibly twisted when she begins to embezzle the VIP customers' money.[1][10][11]
