The fateful meeting between Princess Go Ara and playboy Jang Ryul unfolds.

The TVING original series ‘Chunhwa Love Story’ (written by Seo Eun-jung and 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 unconventional love story collection ‘Chunhwa Love Story’, getting involved with the city‘s biggest playboy Hwan (played by Jang Ryul) and the number one groom-to-be Jang Won (played by Kang Chan-hee).

In the drama, Hwa-ri is a direct princess of the fictional nation of the Eastern Kingdom and is a curious and free-spirited character who grew up receiving the king’s deep love. This personality of Hwa-ri is also directly applied to the way she dates and gets married. Even in a time when men and women were considered distinct, she turns the city upside down with her groundbreaking choice of ‘direct selection’ for her son-in-law after free dating.

In particular, Choi Hwan (played by Jang Ryul), the city‘s top merchant and womanizer, puts his name on the list of candidates for Hwa-ri’s son-in-law, foreshadowing an even bigger ripple effect. With his outstanding looks and sly personality, Choi Hwan has been captivating the hearts of the women of the city, and it is anticipated that he will be able to capture Princess Hwa-ri as well.

The photos released by the production team show Hwa-ri and Choi Hwan. As they spend time reading books together and sitting on tree stumps, the distance between Hwa-ri and Choi Hwan gradually gets closer, and attention is focused on how their relationship will change.


The passionate meeting between Princess Hwa-ri and Choi Hwan, who will heat up the city, will be even more immersive with the strong teamwork between actors Go A-ra and Jang Ryul. Go A-ra said, “When I first met actor Jang Ryul, he had an honest and upright image, and in reality, he was always very considerate to me, to the point that I was touched on set. I think these parts where we were considerate and thoughtful of each other had a positive influence on the drama, so I am very grateful and it was a great set,” he said, expressing his gratitude to his partner Jang Ryul.

Jang Ryul continued, “Go Ara was already a famous actress since I was young, so the moment we got to act together was such an honor,” and added, “I am very shy and cautious, so it was hard for me to approach her, but she was so bright and easygoing, so we were able to become close more quickly. We created the drama while thinking about what direction we should portray Hwa-ri and Choi-hwan in and talking about it often.”

“Chunhwa Romance” will be first released on TVING on February 6.
