Scriptwriter Noh Hee Kyung, recognized for her successful K-dramas like “It’s Okay, That’s Love,” “Dear My Friends,” and “Our Blues,” among others, will make her return with this new project after an absence of nearly two years.

On the other hand, the director assigned to lead this new K-drama will be none other than Lee Yoon Jung, celebrated for directing popular hits such as “Coffee Prince,” “Cheese in the Trap,” and more.

Song Hye-Kyo and Gong Yoo haven’t collaborated on any projects together. They are both highly acclaimed actors in the South Korean entertainment industry, but they haven’t been cast in the same production.

Song Hye-Kho gained widespread recognition for her performances in popular dramas such as “Autumn in My Heart” (2000), “Full House” (2004), “Descendants of the Sun” (2016), and “Encounter” (2018).

Born on November 22, 1981, in Dalseo District, Daegu, South Korea, she began her acting career in the late 1990s and quickly rose to fame due to her talent and charm. She has received numerous awards throughout her career, including several Best Actress awards at prestigious award ceremonies in South Korea and internationally.

Gong Yoo rose to prominence with his roles in popular television dramas such as “Coffee Prince” (2007) and “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God” (also known as “Goblin”) (2016-2017). In “Coffee Prince,” he portrayed the lead character of a young man who pretends to be gay in order to work at a coffee shop and subsequently falls in love with a coworker.

However, Gong Yoo’s career breakthrough came with his role in “Train to Busan” (2016), a critically acclaimed zombie apocalypse thriller film where he played the protagonist struggling to survive amidst a zombie outbreak on a train.
