JTBC‘s new drama ‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ (written by Yoo Young-ah and directed by Lim Hyun-wook) has confirmed the casting of actor Park Seo-joon.

‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ is a romantic comedy about Lee Gyeong-do and Seo Ji-woo, who have dated twice before when they were twenty and twenty-eight, and reunite as a reporter who reports an affair scandal and the wife of the scandal’s protagonist, and their sad and intense romance. This is Park Seo-joon‘s comeback drama on JTBC.

Park Seo-joon plays Lee Gyeong-do, an entertainment reporter for Dongwoon Ilbo. Lee Gyeong-do is a humane office worker with nothing rough or unusual. Due to an affair scandal involving his first love’s husband, he encounters his ex-girlfriend Seo Ji-woo, whom he once loved and tormented, and begins to live a life of unrequited love. Park Seo-joon‘s acting transformation, which will complete the bustling daily life of Lee Kyung-do who encounters an unexpected bomb, is anticipated.

Like this, ‘Waiting for Kyung-do’ depicts a terrible and chaotic love story of a man who meets his ex-girlfriend who he first met at a theater club when he was 20, fell in love with, and then broke up repeatedly, and then meets her again by an unexpected opportunity.


In particular, the present story of the two people who still find each other sad and funny even after meeting after so much time has passed, as well as the story of their past love life, will unfold in between, bringing deep empathy and immersion.

‘Waiting for Kyung-do’ is also drawing attention for its trustworthy and watchable writing team (writer + director). Director Lim Hyun-wook, who has built a solid fandom with ‘Kingderland’, ‘Someone Like You’, and writer Yoo Young-ah, who has shown her delicate writing skills in the movie ‘Your Wedding’, the dramas ‘Thirty, Nine’, ‘Sacred Divorce’, etc., are joining forces. This makes people curious about the well-made romantic comedy that director Lim Hyun-wook, writer Yoo Young-ah, and Park Seo-joon will create together.

‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ is scheduled to air on JTBC.
