Mr Moonlight (Byanamese Romance)

Meet Jaya Hasen, 30, a workaholic who hasn't had a break in years from her post as Fashion Designer at Hasen House, the company owned by her family.
Nepotism, much?
Jaya thinks so, too, hence her need to constantly prove herself She lives for her job, neglecting every other aspect of her life: friends, family, her health, and even when out on a date, she's counting the minutes until it's no longer unpolite to leave and go back to work.
When burnout threatens to set in and her younger brother invites her to spend a couple of weeks in Kawa Bay, with him and his boyfriend, Jaya doesn't hesitate to say yes, despite fearing she'll end up being the proverbial third wheel.
But what promised to be a fortnight of relaxing in the sun soon turns into a hurricane of emotions when she comes across local surfer Song Junhae, a man unlike anyone she's ever met.
Stubbornly insisting on listening only to her heart, Jaya finds that the summer fling not meant to last has grown into something else - something she doesn't want to put an end to, despite the disapproval of family and friends.
But will she and Junhae be strong enough to face all obstacles just to prove everyone else wrong? And how much is Jaya willing to sacrifice for the sake of a man she barely knows?
