Park Min-young and Yoo Yeon-seok are rumored to be starring together in the upcoming tvN drama Wol Soo Geum Hwa Mok To, which translates into MonWedFriTuesThursSat!
Produced by CJ ENM and Studio 605, MonWedFriTuesThursSat is being directed by Nam Sung Woo, who also directed dramas like 100 Days My Prince, Kkondae Intern, and My Roommate is a Gumiho.
The upcoming drama revolves around Choi Sang-eun, a "single life helper" who pretends to be a wife to single people in need of partners to take to weddings, school reunions and other similar events.
Yoo Yeon-Seok and Park Min-young will be playing the lead in the upcoming drama
On February 17, the media agency Sports Chosun revealed that Park Min-young will play the lead in MonWedFriTuesThursSat.
The actor's agency, Hook Entertainment, confirmed the Sports Chosun report saying:
“It’s true that Park Min-young has received an offer for the leading role of ‘MonWedFriTuesThursSat.’ She is positively reviewing the offer.”
On the same day, the news agency YTN Star stated that Yoo Yeon-Seok too has received an offer to play the male lead in the tvN drama, opposite the What's Wrong with Secretary Kim actor.
Yoo Yeon-Seok's agency, King Kong by Starship, agreed to the reports, and revealed that:
“tvN’s new drama ‘MonWedFriTuesThursSat’ is one of the dramas that Yoo Yeon-Seok has received an offer for.”
Park Min-young has been offered the role of Choi Sang-eun, who appears to be the "ideal woman". Apart from having many desirable qualities and virtues, this single life helper is fluent in several languages, skilled at golf, rock climbing and fencing, and is also an expert cook.
Using these distinct talents, Choi Sang-eun creates a business out of helping men who want to remain single, and yet adhere to society's demands for marriage. By being their "wife," Choi Sang-eun not only gets these men social validation, but also increases their stature among their families.
The upcoming drama's strange title is a reference to Choi Sang-eun's odd working schedule.
While she helps single men who want to be acknowledged by society and their families from Monday to Saturday, Sundays are reserved only for herself.
