Actors Lee Young-ae and Yoo Ji-tae will reunite in a drama series for the first time in 25 years since the film ‘One Fine Spring Day.’
Production company IWill Media said on the 23rd that it has cast Lee and Yoo as the leads of its new drama ‘Jaei’s Youngin.’
The two previously starred in ‘One Fine Spring Day,’ released in 2001, a film long regarded as one of South Korea’s signature romance movies.
‘Jaei’s Youngin’ is a mystery melodrama about two people left alone in the world. After they fall in love, a tangled past and hidden truths come to light.
Lee will play Joo Youngin, an art teacher and painter who has lost her son. Yoo will play Shin Jaei, the head of an architecture firm who lives with dissociative amnesia.
The series will be directed by Oh Gi-hwan, who previously worked with Lee on the film ‘Gift.’ The script is by Cho Eun-jung, whose credits include ‘Hotel King’ and ‘Feast of the Gods.’
Expectations are building over whether Lee, who chose her next project about five months after the well-reviewed drama ‘Eunsu’s Good Day,’ and Yoo, who recently became a “10 million actor” with the film ‘The Man Who Lives With the King,’ will deliver strong on-screen chemistry again.
