Chung reiterates that Yi Won is the Crimson Moon because of his red hair, so Hong asks him if he truly is the Crimson Moon. He denies this at once, but Yi Hwi still wonders why Yi Won, the mistaken as the Crimson Moon, is being chased. Dan Ah shuts the door to keep away from the angry villagers. The villagers breaks the door but finds the room empty. The three escape the room, but Yi Won complains why they need to run because he can knock them down. He tells them that if he truly is the Crimson Moon, they will be accused with harboring a fugitive, but they tell him that he admitted he was not the Crimson Moon. The two believe him and promises that he will protect Yi Won. As they reach a bridge, Hong pushes Yi Won and Dan Ah to the water to hide from the villagers while he acts as bait to keep the villagers' focus on him. Later, he returns to them and hide themselves in the woods. Hong then gives Dan Ah some cloth to keep her warm, but Yi Won grabs it and argues that he is cold as well. Thus, he decides to share the cloth by hugging Dan Ah, but Hong separates them at once.

Appearance

      See also: Yi Hwi's Outfits
Yi Hwi is a young man with fair skin and distinct jade eyes. He has long teal hair which is tied in a red ponytail. He has worn many outfits of the same style but differed in the color scheme. He wears a plain white jeogori and a knee-deep baji all tucked into tight vambraces on the arms and knees. He dons a joki reaching until his upper femur which he ties into a ribbon as its belt and wears ankle-high beoseon before wearing a pair of jipsin sandals. He is sometimes seen with a bamboo pack on his back where he puts his paintings that he sells as the painter Hong. He has a brown waist bag on his left side where he puts his art materials. He wears a red bracelet given to him by a young girl during his first official appearance. During the night as the infamous Crimson Moon, he dons a red mask which covers his entire face and carries a sword with him.

Personality

Yi Hwi is a rather calm and reserved person who cares deeply for the people of Ga Guk. He is very quiet most of the time though he can be defensive for other people when they are in a bad situation as a way of protecting them from others. Although he built the rebel army Deung Ha Bul Myung to reclaim his rightful throne, Yi Hwi sometimes gets misled that he is a protector of many innocent citizens in which his companion Yi Jeok always reminds him that they must focus on their true goal of reclaiming the throne and not protect people from getting killed. During this occurrences, when Yi Hwi's points are contrasted, he tends to get angry and upset especially when it comes to the protection of the people and the nation. However, he makes up for his mistakes and becomes understanding, bearing the burden of seeing countless, innocent civilians killed. As stated by Yi Jeok, it is not Yi Hwi's nature to kill someone naturally especially when it is someone dear to him.

Yi Hwi is also very patient when it comes to his feelings especially with Yoo Dan Ah. Though he knows very well that she is his true love and that she is in love with his enemy and half-brother Yi Won, he accepts it and willingly does anything to protect her no matter what. He is also thoughtful and concerned of Dan Ah's welfare, as he questioned her presence during the outbreak of the plague at Moon's End Village helping sick victims. In order to at least make up for his misunderstanding her, he also helped in serving the victims.

Plot

Young Yi Hwi 4

An eight-year-old Yi Hwi gives Dan Ah one of her slippers

Ten years ago, Yi Hwi and his father were at a place where they were talking about Ga Guk. He then leaves because he was ordered to and then went to Bi Hwa Rim where he meets a little girl who was sneaking in, getting a medicinal herb with a red fruit hanging from it. After a brief introduction, Dan Ah realizes that her slippers that her mother gave her were carried away by the strong current. He then stops her to go chase after her shoes because of the dangerous waters gushing, so he went to find her slippers, but was only able to find one.[1] He apologizes to her, saying that the other one must have already been carried away far from their location. Afterwards, he tells Dan Ah to leave because sunset is fast approaching and the authorities might catch her illegal intrusion to the place. However, Dan Ah is injured on the knees; thus, Yi Hwi tends to her and carries her home, singing the Butterfly lullaby.[2]

On his attempt on finding Dan Ah's other shoe, he was finally able to retrieve it and personally delivers it to Dan Ah's residence. However, the household grieves because of the passing away of Dan Ah's mother. He then leaves the shoe on the stairs which Dan Ah notices a few days later, much to her delight.[3]

That same year, Yi Hwi was woken up by his teacher and tells him to stay quiet. He sees his mother talking with Yi Jeok and Ahn Young apologizes to him, saying that she cannot protect him until the end. Yi Hwi felt a chill running up his spine as he heard people screaming in fear and the brightness emitted even though it was still night. Confused, Yi Hwi spends his last time with her mother and escapes the burning palace with Yi Jeok and Seon Woo Seo In. Upon her mother's death, Yi Hwi stops and feels a sudden strange feeling. He and Yi Jeok exits the Phoenix Doors and runs westward, going to a red tile-roofed house. On their escape, Yi Hwi stumbles and got hit by a heuk rang thrown on his left chest. They then hide on a house where they are caught by a young girl.[4] Wol Young Hwa then finds them and, while he is heavily injured, Yi Jeok and Young Hwa have an argument regarding his safety and condition. While injured, he is almost killed by Young Hwa but Yi Jeok covered him and received the kick. Yi Jeok was then ordered to have Yi Hwi killed but his companion stabs his own left eye instead. Yi Jeok is then stopped by Young Hwa and asks them to follow her, revealing to be Wol Young Hwa, the person they are supposed to find.[5]

Ten years later during the eleventh year of the reign of Emperor Jin Won, Yi Hwi journeys to the Deung Ha Bul Myung headquarters in Bi Hwa Rim where he encounters Yoo Dan Ah. She asks him the route leading to the creek but he tells her to go back since the site is off-limits to other people. She then follows him but eventually loses him since he climbs up a tree and goes his way. At the headquarters, Yi Hwi is welcomed by the people and is given a bracelet by a young girl which she says will make his wishes come true. He then asks Baek Ho how the training of the members are doing, and he says that they are doing fine.[6]

Back at Hyang Ju, Yi Won talks to Yi Jeok about stealing the compact while changing into Nabi. "She" then goes to Yu Hyang Ru with him to act as a gisaeng.[7] Disguising as Nabi, he attends the evening meeting of Deung Ha Bul Myung about their plan of stealing the compact at Yoo Ja Gyeom's residence. He then volunteers to go since his specialty is blending with darkness and orders everyone to go since they are fighting over which will go.[8] After he as the Crimson Moon and Yi Jeok steal the compact, he was wounded on the shoulder by Baek Yoo Shin's poisoned heuk rang and decides to hide in a nearby place. He is then caught by Dan Ah whom he silences and wonders if she is the Prime Minister's daughter.[9] She bites his hand and calls for help from outside, but Yi Hwi gets her and almost falls on the ground. He then saves her from the fall, and as Dan Ah's repayment, sets him free without telling the servants. As he is found by Yi Jeok, Yi Hwi notices on their way out a pair of red slippers which seem to be familiar with him from ten years ago. He then ponders if she is the girl from Bi Hwa Rim ten years ago.[3]

Yi Hwi then concludes that Dan Ah is the girl from Bi Hwa Rim. He is then called by Baek Ho with Mu Jin, saying that the body of the missing Inspector General was found. On the site of discovery, Baek Ho informs Yi Hwi that the Inspector General knew little about the rebel army. While having their discussion, Yi Hwi gets a glimpse of Dan Ah from a distance. When Dan Ah is chased by Nam Yang Heon, Yi Hwi helps her to hide in a nearby place.[10] She accidentally sits on a painting tube, damaging the painting. She asks him if he is "Hong" and tells her that he is. She confesses that she likes Hong's painting and, upon realizing that she truly admires his paintings, Hong gives the painting to her. After denying it many times, Dan Ah finally takes it. As they come out of the place, they encounter Physician Ma who tells them that the slums is currently being raided by the Imperial Army. At the site, he and Dan Ah scurry to see two siblings who are orphaned and ill. They find Chung who seems to be arguing with someone. It is then revealed that Woon is being lifted on the neck by Yi Won.[11] In order to ease the situation, Hong grabs Woon and kicks Yi Won off of him, stating that he is only a child. They engage in a one-on-one fight but are stopped by Dan Ah. Chung shouts at the villagers that the Crimson Moon is nearby, leaving Yi Hwi surprised.[12]

Chung reiterates that Yi Won is the Crimson Moon because of his red hair, so Hong asks him if he truly is the Crimson Moon. He denies this at once, but Yi Hwi still wonders why Yi Won, the mistaken as the Crimson Moon, is being chased. Dan Ah shuts the door to keep away from the angry villagers. The villagers breaks the door but finds the room empty. The three escape the room, but Yi Won complains why they need to run because he can knock them down. He tells them that if he truly is the Crimson Moon, they will be accused with harboring a fugitive, but they tell him that he admitted he was not the Crimson Moon.

Later, he returns to them and hide themselves in the woods. Hong then gives Dan Ah some cloth to keep her warm, but Yi Won grabs it and argues that he is cold as well. Thus, he decides to share the cloth by hugging Dan Ah, but Hong separates them at once.
