Jang Ryul, the best idol in the city, claims to be the man of celebrity princess Go Ara.
The TVING original series ‘Chunhwa Yeonaedam’ (written by Seo Eun-jung and directed by Lee Kwang-young), which will be first aired on February 6th, is a romantic youth historical drama that unfolds as the city is in an uproar over the unconventional love story collection ‘Chunhwa Yeonaedam’, while Princess Hwa-ri (played by Go Ara), who failed in her first love, declares that she will find her son-in-law herself, getting involved with Hwan (played by Jang Ryul), the city‘s biggest playboy, and Jang Won (played by Chan-hee), the number one groom-to-be.
Jang Ryul plays Choi Hwan, the only son of the biggest merchant in the fictional nation of the Eastern Kingdom. Choi Hwan is a man rumored to have an endless supply of women due to his outstanding looks and uniquely sly personality. Not only that, he dominates the famous commercial districts of the city, and boasts enormous wealth that could buy a country with his money.
Choi Hwan, who is surrounded by countless rumors and is very famous, is planning to once again become the talk of the town by first proposing marriage to Princess Hwari, who declared that she would choose her son-in-law after free love. People are curious about why Choi Hwan, who seems to have everything to envy, decided to challenge for the position of the son-in-law of a princess with direct royal blood, and why he boasts ‘the devil’s star quality’ with every move he makes.
In the meantime, the revealed photos show Choi Hwan radiating extraordinary magic, as befitting a famous womanizer. As expected from the only son of a precious conglomerate, he stands out in his colorful silk clothes and ornately decorated hat straps, and his affectionate yet relaxed gaze makes you fall in love the more you look at him. The man who already wants to get involved so badly, Choi Hwan, is drawing attention as to whether he will be able to capture the heart of Princess Hwa-ri.
Jang Ryul‘s acting transformation as Choi Hwan, who has such a curious charm, is also anticipated. Jang Ryul has played various characters like his own, from a psychiatrist to a ’golden spoon‘ with a dual personality to a sharp killer, and he even formed a meaningful relationship with TVING when he walked the pink carpet at Cannes in France with the TVING original series ’Body Price‘. Jang Ryul, who has shown an endless spectrum, is drawing attention to what kind of diverse faces he will reveal in ’Chunhwa Yeonae Dam‘.
’Chunhwa Yeonae Dam‘ will be first released on TVING on February 6.
