Princess Go Ara becomes the protagonist of a scandal that shakes the Eastern Kingdom.

The TVING original series ‘Chunhwayeonaesam’ (written by Seo Eun-jung, directed by Lee Kwang-young) is a romantic youth historical drama that unfolds as Princess Hwa-ri (played by Go Ara), who failed in her first love, declares that she will find her son-in-law herself while the city is in an uproar over the shocking collection of love stories ‘Chunhwayeonaesam’, getting involved with the city‘s biggest playboy Hwan (played by Jang Ryul) and the number one groom candidate Jang Won (played by Kang Chan-hee).

A teaser trailer video was released on the 14th, raising expectations for the meeting between Go Ara, who plays the role of the Eastern Kingdom’s celebrity Princess Hwa-ri, and Jang Ryul, who plays the city‘s biggest playboy Choi Hwan.

The released video includes a book that shook the entire city. The story of ‘Chunhwayeonaedam’ is introduced and catches the eye. The suspicion is raised that the main character of this book, who is so loved by the women of the capital that you can’t even join in on a conversation without reading it, is Princess Hwa-ri.

Then, as expected from a princess who declared that she would choose her husband directly after free love, Hwa-ri is caught flirting with several men, adding to the excitement. When her fingertips brush against the elite Jang-won while looking for the book, she makes eye contact with surprise, and there is a picturesque moment where she exchanges excited glances with genius painter Min-hong (played by Bae Yoon-gyu) while taking shelter from the rain.


In addition, another atmosphere is seen especially in Hwa-ri, who says “I am the princess of this country” in a serious yet playful manner, and Choi-hwan, who can‘t hide his laughter as he cleverly accepts it. As the relationship between Princess Hwari and the hot candidates for her husband piques curiosity, who is the man that made Hwari declare, “Girl, there is a man I want to marry”?

‘Current Love Story’ foreshadows the story of youths who want to love passionately like lovers in pornographic novels in an era when gender distinction was taken for granted through the teaser trailer. Amidst the wild rumors that Hwari is the main character of the book ‘Current Love Story’, expectations are high as to whether Hwari will be able to find her own husband.

‘Current Love Story’ will be released for the first time on Tving on February 6.
