Actor Joo Ji-hoon‘s romance is back in its heyday after 18 years. It is Joo Ji-hoon and Jung Yu-mi’s rewind romance between lovers who broke up in ‘On a Single-Log Bridge’ that is increasing the immersion of viewers.

tvN‘s ‘On a Single-Log Bridge’ (directed by Park Joon-hwa and Bae Hee-young/written by Lim Ye-jin/planned by Studio Dragon/produced by Studio Dragon Blitzway Production) is cruising along by word of mouth with only 4 episodes left until the end.

In the midst of it all, Joo Ji-hoon (as Seok Ji-won) and Jung Yu-mi (as Yoon Ji-won) are increasing the immersion of viewers with the reverse love and savory tiki-taka of lovers who broke up 18 years ago. As if to prove this, the revealed behind-the-scenes stills capture the secrets of the chemistry of the two-person couple that goes back and forth between romance and melodrama, drawing attention.

In the revealed stills, Joo Ji-hoon and Jung Yu-mi are constantly exchanging opinions with director Park Joon-hwa to increase the perfection of the scenes. In particular, Joo Ji-hoon and Jung Yu-mi fill the drama with humor and richness with witty ad-libs in every scene, such as the love dive in episode 3, the pen throwing in episode 4, and the stair-rolling in episode 7. Here, director Park Joon-hwa’s delicate directing makes the chemistry and acting synergy of the two-person couple shine even brighter.

In episode 8 in particular, Seok Ji-won and Yoon Ji-won exploded with a love that had become even stronger after their reunion, kicking off their rewind romance in earnest. Yoon Ji-won responded to Seok Ji-won‘s confession by saying, “Thank you for coming back,” and their love deepened further as they tied their 18-year-old differences together with the string of fate. Then, at the end of the drama, the secret love affair between Seok Ji-won and Yoon Ji-won is in danger of being discovered by Seok Kyung-tae (played by Lee Byung-joon), causing an explosion of tension.

The production team said, “We are always surprised by the deep emotional lines of Joo Ji-hoon and Jung Yu-mi, who portray the fighting couple in a three-dimensional way,” and “The two who have confirmed their strong hearts will cherish the moment and focus only on each other, unfolding a rewind romance. They will show the aspect of a couple who are all-in on love and love, so please watch to see if their romance can go smoothly for the remaining four episodes.”

Joo Ji-hoon’s romantic acting for the first time in 18 years since the drama ‘Palace’, tvN‘s ‘Love on a Single-Log Bridge’, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
