Lee Byunghun, Han Jimin, and Lee Heejun have confirmed their appearances in the drama 'Koreans' (working title) and will begin their first filming next week.

According to a report by IZE on the 6th, 'Koreans' (produced by Studio AA), directed by Ahn Gilho, has finalized its lead cast with Lee Byunghun, Han Jimin, and Lee Heejun and will begin filming next week.

Lee Byunghun and Han Jimin, who will play as married couple in the drama, are working together for the third time through this project. Although the two previously starred in the dramas 'All In' (2003) and 'Our Blues' (2022), but they never actually acted in the same scene together, making this the first time they will actually act opposite each other.

'Koreans,' which Ahn Gilho has been preparing since last year, is a spy drama that reimagines the popular US FX series 'The Americans' in a Korean setting. It will adapt the original story about Soviet spies undercover in the United States during the Cold War in the 1980s into the era of military dictatorship in South Korea.

As it is a large-scale production with a high budget, the series is expected to be released on the major OTT platform Disney+.

'Koreans' is drawing attention as a large-scale project combining a grand historical setting with a spy narrative. In particular, the collaboration between Director Ahn Gilho (previously directed 'The Glory,' 'Happiness,' and 'Stranger) and acclaimed actors Lee Byunghun, Han Jimin, and Lee Heejun are raising anticipations.

Expectations are high to see what kind of spy drama 'Koreans' will be, given that some of the biggest names in K-drama have come together for this masterpiece.

The line from Han Jimin's new drama that's currently gaining a lot of backlash

SOURCE: 현재 𝙅𝙊𝙉𝙉𝘼 밤티라는 한지민 신작 대사..JPG

'Isn't tea supposed to get richer in flavor the longer it ages?'

'The aroma fades, the taste weakens, and fresh young leaves sprout every year. So, why bother keeping them to use later? Whether it's tea or anything else, you can just say that things lose their value as they age.

'I thought I could date or love whenever I wanted as long as I made up my mind. But I was wrong. I just let the best years for love pass me by'

For the record, the female lead is 34 years old.

COMMENTS: 

-This is actually kind of true… It’s not that women in their 30s are the problem… It's that there are no decent men in their 30s left. They are already married or dating women in their late 20s.

-In an era where people live to 100, the 30s isn't an old age.

-Are you kidding me?

-Someone could think that way, I guess... It's natural to feel regret about the time that has passed. But hearing that line coming out from Han Jimin's face is a bit unrealistic.

-I can’t believe dramas these days still use such outdated ideas.

-That's not entirely wrong, but they always give these kinds of lines only to female characters. The issue of delayed marriage applies to both women and men.

-This makes me angry.

-Is this a drama from 20 years ago or something?

-People with that mindset must be quite unhappy with their lives.

-It's a fact that dating and marriage are harder for a woman at that age. Why deny it?

-It sounds realistic to me, though...

-If this makes you angry, it means you’re old.

-These lines don't feel like they belong in 2026.

-Who’s the writer?

-Ah...ㅠㅠㅠ My gums are dried from too much smiling.

-This is such a visually pleasing comboㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're just like Nick and Judy.

[Love Scout] Lee Joonhyuk and Han Jimin's kiss scene

 

The way he cups her face while kissing and then smiles😇😇

theqoo

-I love itㅋㅋ

-Oh, this is so heart-flutteringㅋㅋ

-I've always known that Han Jimin is good at romance dramas, but Lee Joonhyuk is surprisingly very amazing as well. I don't even see Dongjae anymoreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-His smile is so heart-fluttering. I literally screamed while watching this kiss scene.

-Has Joonhyuk ever done a historical drama?

-Oh Gosh... This is so heart-fluttering, I might die.

-The kiss scene itself is already heart-fluttering, but the way he smiles afterward is even more heart-fluttering.

-As someone who loves action genres, I want to see Lee Joonhyuk in an action film that has romance in it

-Na Youngseok is even funnierㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ His reaction makes me want to watch this drama.

-I couldn't sleep until late at night after watching that sceneㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... Why am I the one who's blushing??

-For me, if a kiss scene is too intense, it actually becomes off-putting, but this one was filmed so beautifullyㅜㅜ

-His smile was insane... Why is Lee Joonhyuk so good at kissing scenes?

-Oh Gosh... Even the sound of their breath is insaneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Please keep doing melodramas, Lee Joonhyuk. For me.

Whoa, I was like... We're doomed. She wouldn't be able to go home.

But then the girl says 'I'm hungry', completely breaking the mood. But then, she came back and gave a sweet chu~, and I melted into a big poodle. 

Crazy... It's crazy...

theqoo

-So when are they going to kiss? Did they take it to the next level?

-They look so good together ㅠㅠㅠ Why did Lee Joonhyuk only start doing rom-coms now? ㅜㅜㅜ

-Huh? The atmosphere wasn't like this last week. What happened? How did they get to this point so quickly?

-Whenever I see Han Jimin, I think of Jannabi first,so I can't fully immerse myself in this drama.

-I was watching Oppa's face with my mouth wide open, but then I saw Unnie's face and I drooled.

-How can anyone not love Han Jimin? She's an amazing actress.

-I like the way he puts his lips near her ears, but his arms look too much like of a headlock and it bothers me...

-Please give me more.

-There should be a law that requires Lee Joonhyuk to do a romantic drama once a year.

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ My heart was about to explode the entire time watching this drama.

-This makes me want to bang my head against the wall.

-Han Jimin is amazing at portraying someone in love. She’s so beautiful.

-Ah... I want to date Jimin Unnie.

-Ha... I was literally screaming while watching this.

-Ah, this is so heart-fluttering.

I don't understand why they unnecessarily make the characters younger in this drama

'Love Scout'

Kang Jiyoon: Born in 1989

Yoo Eunho: Born in 1991

In the drama, the characters are portrayed as a self-made female CEO and a father whose daughter is in kindergarten. Their real-life ages (Born in 1982 and 1984) seem more fitting for the characters, so I don't understand why they made the characters younger in this drama. 

theqoo

-Actors just act, regardless of the character's age. How did you feel when older actors played the characters of high school students?

-They're actors. Chill out, seriously ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you want to see someone who's actually old, why don't you debut as an actor yourself?? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Well, do you even have the looks for it?

-They never mentioned their ages in the drama and there's nothing strange or uncomfortable as I watch it. Why are you making such a fuss over nothing?

-People who are actually enjoying the drama probably don’t even care about this.

-There's someone in my company who's born in 1991 and looks older than him.

-I was curious how much younger they made them, and 1991? What's wrong with youㅋㅋㅋ But Han Jimin was born in 1982?? She doesn't age.

-The character's ages are never mentioned in the drama. It isn't even important for the plot.

-As someone who was born in 1989, if I'd have no complaints if I looked like her...

-What??ㅋㅋㅋ Do you think people born in 1989 or 1991 are in their late 20s?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They’re in their mid-to-late 30s;; It's common for actors to play roles with significant age differences.

-It's not about the looks, though... It's just that the characters' setups feel more suitable for someone in their 40s

-It doesn't suit them, but since it's just a drama, it's acceptable.

-People born in 1991 aren't even that young...

-He's supposed to be a man who got married at a young age and now has a 7-year old daughter... What's the problem?

-What's the problem?

-Why are you looking for realism in a drama?
