South Korean actors Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun-jin have been confirmed to star as leads in the upcoming historical romantic drama Lovers.
On January 13, MBC confirmed the news through their Instagram account. The drama will be helmed by director Kim Sung-yong and penned by screenwriter Hwang Jin-young.
The historical romance is set in the Joseon era. It presents the story of a man who swears never to fall in love again. However, the man ends up falling for a woman who has had two failed marriages previously. The woman dreams of finding a new love again.
Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun-jin’s characters will explore the themes of love and marriage in the upcoming drama.
Namgoong Min’s character Lee Jang-hyun finds himself attracted to Yoo Gil-chae in the upcoming drama Lovers
Namgoong Min is set to play the role of a mysterious man named Lee Jang-hyun who suddenly makes his appearance in Neunggeun Village’s high society. He seems cold and unreachable. After going through a horrendous and tragic event in his life, he finds nothing interesting and sees the world through a dismal lens.
However, things start to change for Jang-hyun when he encounters a woman named Yoo Gil-chae. He feels deep attraction towards her and finds himself highly interested in her life. The two characters' personalities are in stark contrast to one another as Yoo Gil-chae has strong determination and will to live - something lacking in Lee Jang-hyun.
Yoo Gil-chae belongs to a noble family. She is famous in society for her goddess-like beauty and charm. She is even referred to as the socialite goddess. She is self-obsessed and thinks highly of herself. She believes that she can captivate any man in the world.
However, things start to change for her when she goes through a severe wartime crisis and falls truly in love with a man. When Jang-hyun and Gil-chae encounter each other, they gradually develop feelings for each other and discover the true meaning of love altogether.
