Actress Jung Yumi returns to the small screen with a romance drama after four years.
According to broadcasting officials on the 21st, Jung Yumi and Ju Jihoon are set to collaborate as lead actors in a romance drama.
While the drama was initially known by the title "Love on a Single Log Bridge," there are internal discussions about a new title.
The drama depicts the story of a man and a woman who passionately loved each other in their late teens but separated due to opposition from their families. They reunite after 15 years and navigate through twists and turns to rebuild their love. It is a romance that portrays the characters overcoming destiny and various obstacles.
Jung Yumi takes on the role of Yoon Jiwon, who was in a relationship with Ju Ji-hoon during high school and reunites with him as adults. This marks her return to a lead role in a drama after four years since the 2020 Netflix series "The School Nurse Files." Particularly, fans are eager to see if Jeong Yoo-mi's charming "Yumvely" character, which she showcased in romantic dramas, will be revealed.
Ju Jihoon, who last appeared in a romance drama 18 years ago with MBC's "Princess Hours" in 2006, has already garnered attention both in and outside the broadcasting industry for his return to the romance genre.
The director for the drama is Park Jun-hwa, known for his work on romance dramas like tvN's "Because This Is My First Life," "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim," "Alchemy of Souls", and more. The script is written by Im Ye-jin, the author behind KBS 2TV's "Love in The Moonlight" and "The Tale of Nokdu."
The production team is currently refining some settings and details of the drama, with plans to soon begin the official casting for main and supporting roles.
-It's been a while since we've seen Jung Yumi in a romantic comedy.
-Why do they keep using Ju Jihoon in the industry? He has no acting skills, no ticket power, and a criminal record, I don't understand.
-Every time Ju Jihoon comes out, the reaction is terrible, so why do they keep casting him?
-Ju Jihoon isn't even that great at acting, and he's not super handsome, so why does he get cast a lot? Does he have a lot of fans in the industry?
-Isn't Ju Jihoon just cast a lot because he's a top star? His filmography is quite impressive.
-I was only waiting for Yumi's next drama, and now this crap... Damn it.
-Ju Jihoon's drug case happened over 10 years ago, and he's overcome it and is living well, so should people like him not get a second chance?
