‘Kissing for Nothing!’ The romance between Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin is drawing attention.

The new SBS drama ‘Kissing for Nothing!’ (written by Ha Yoon-ah and Tae Kyung-min/directed by Kim Jae-hyun/produced by Samhwa Networks and Studio S), scheduled to air in 2025, is a romance about a single woman who pretends to be a mother to make a living and the team leader who falls in love with her. Director Kim Jae-hyun of ‘A Thousand Won Lawyer’, which was a huge hit in 2022, is directing the drama, and writers Ha Yoon-ah and Tae Kyung-min of ‘Ssangappocha’ and ‘Showtime from Now On!’ will be co-writing the drama, raising expectations.

In the meantime, the two main characters who will show a dopamine-explosive, exciting romance through ‘Kissing for Nothing!’ will be revealed on January 23, drawing attention. They are Jang Ki-yong (as Gong Ji-hyeok) and Ahn Eun-jin (as Ko Da-rim).

First, Jang Ki-yong plays the male lead Gong Ji-hyeok. Gong Ji-hyeok, the team leader of the MotherTF team at a childcare product company, is a person with a brilliant mind, cool-headed judgment, and passionate execution. Gong Ji-hyeok is torn between ‘impossible love’ and ‘inevitable love’ because of Ko Da-rim, a woman who disappeared after leaving behind only a natural disaster-level kiss.

Jang Ki-yong has established himself as an actor with both acting skills and star quality through various works such as ‘Come and Hug Me’, ‘Search: www’, ‘A Falling Cohabitation’, ‘Now, We Are Breaking Up’, ‘I Am Not a Hero’. He especially shook the hearts of women in the romance genre with his dazzling visuals, low-pitched voice, and deep gaze. The charm and true value of Jang Ki-yong, which will explode once again through the romance drama ‘Kissing for No Reason!’, are anticipated.

Ahn Eun-jin plays the female protagonist, Ko Da-rim. Ko Da-rim is a married woman who gets a job at the MotherTF team, a childcare product company, undercover as a mother. The reason she, a single woman, chose this method is to protect her family. Ko Da-rim, who was only interested in becoming a full-time employee, starts to waver because of Gong Ji-hyeok.

Ahn Eun-jin has captivated the public with her solid acting skills and irreplaceable charm in various works such as ‘Hospital Playlist’, ‘Bad Mom’. In particular, she received favorable reviews for perfectly digesting the wide-ranging narrative and heartbreaking melodrama in ‘Lover’, which caused a syndrome. Ahn Eun-jin, who has grown into an actress whose next work is anticipated, plans to show off her unique romantic acting through ‘Kissing for No Reason!’. Ahn Eun-jin‘s colorful transformation is drawing attention.

Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin. Two actors with overwhelming charm have met. And in a romance genre piece where the two actors’ acting skills, visuals, and chemistry can shine the most. This is why people are already curious and looking forward to ‘Kissing for No Reason!’. The drama ‘Kissing for No Reason!’, which will bring a dopamine explosion and excitement to the home theater, is scheduled to air on SBS in 2025.
