Actress Jung Yumi will star in the new Netflix series 'Love Affair' (working title).

According to OSEN's report on the 6th, Jung Yumi recently received the script proposal for Netflix's 'Love Affair.' After reviewing it positively, she has decided to join the project.

'Love Affair' is the latest work by Director Mo Wan-il, who directed the drama with the highest ratings in the history of Korean cable channels, 'The World of the Married.' The story follows a couple with stable jobs and a happy marriage whose lives collapse after facing a fatal love that hits them suddenly like a car accident. While some settings seem similar to 'The World of the Married,' it is said that the expression and plot developments will be even more provocative.

In particular, the male lead Kim Jihoon, a man in his early 40s, falls into a passionate love affair with another woman, driving his happy family toward destruction. Jung Yumi is set to play Kim Jihoon's wife in the drama.

Previously, Jung Yumi left Management SOOP after nine years and signed an exclusive contract with Noon Company. 'Love Affair' is expected to be her first project since the move. It will also mark the first time Jung Yumi and Lee Dongwook act together.

'Love Affair' is scheduled to begin filming in the first half of this year, possibly starting as early as this month. It is also reported that some scenes will be filmed in Spain. The script is written by Ha Sujin, who wrote KBS2's 'The Matchmakers,' while Director Mo Wan-il will direct. It is produced by FNC Story and will be released on the global platform Netflix.

-Stop casting drug addictsㅡㅡ

-I thought it was fun. If people wanted to boycott him, they should’ve done it ages ago. He’s already been in several dramas and movies since that scandal in 2009 or 2010. It’s weird to single this one out now.

-He doesn’t suit the male lead role.

-Jung Yumi’s rom-coms are always worth watching.

-I want to watch for Jung Yumi, but Joo Jihoon makes me not want to.

-I want to watch for Jung Yumi, but I just can’t see Joo Jihoon in a rom-com...

-I'm skipping this drama entirely because of the male lead.

-How can anyone watch Joo Jihoon in a rom-com? His acting is honestly terrible.

-Joo Jihoon’s acting here is quite okay, though...

-Ah... I didn't know this drama already started airing. 

-That druggie better bows to Jung Yumi. I think this drama is using Jung Yumi as their 'cheat key'.

-I don't want to watch a druggie...

-I can't deny that I want to watch Jung Yumi in a rom-com, though...ㅠㅠ

-Putting aside the cast, is the drama actually fun?

-Not really looking forward to it.

-Finally, it's being released.

-Wow, honestly, this trailer looks interesting.

-I think it looks okay, I'll watch if the reviews are good.

-It's ambiguous...

-I was looking forward to it, but even the trailer is boring.

-The casting is amazing.

-I want to see it quicklyㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Boring... Maybe that's why the release kept getting postponed.

Jung Yumi to Co-Star with Ju Jihoon in New Romance Drama Directed by Park Jun-hwa

 

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?

-No, I'm a fan of Jung Yumi and rom-coms, but I don't want to watch because of the co-star.....ㅠ

-Are there really no other options?

-Ju Jihoon was doing well for a while, but suddenly he seems to be getting criticism again??? What happened?

-Ah, I really hate it... (Not Yumi...ㅠㅠ)

-I feel sorry for Jung Yumi

-I think Ju Jihoon and Jung Yumiwill match well, I'm looking forward to it.

-Why are they casting him? I'm just genuinely curious.

-I'm looking forward to it.
