Actress Won Ji-an will become Park Seo-joon‘s first love in the new JTBC drama ‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ (written by Yoo Young-ah and directed by Lim Hyun-wook). (Exclusive report by Donga.com, January 3, 2025)

‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ is a romantic comedy about Lee Kyung-do and Seo Ji-woo, who have dated twice when they were twenty and twenty-eight, and then broke up, reuniting as a reporter who reports an adultery scandal and the wife of the scandal’s protagonist, and their touching and intense love story.

Director Lim Hyun-wook of the dramas ‘King the Land’, ‘Someone Who Resembles You’, and writer Yoo Young-ah of the film ‘Your Wedding’, and the dramas ‘Thirty, Nine’, ‘Sacred Divorce’, have joined forces for this work. It is also Park Seo-joon‘s comeback to the small screen. And the female lead who will work with Park Seo-joon was finally chosen as Won Ji-an. Won Ji-an plays the role of Seo Ji-woo, the first love of Lee Kyung-do (played by Park Seo-joon), and she exudes a devilish charm that cannot be ignored.

Seo Ji-woo is the second daughter of Jarim Apparel and a troublemaker celebrity who receives public attention for her beautiful appearance and bold attitude. While secretly suffering from her problematic husband’s arrogant behavior, she ends up getting divorced due to the affair scandal that her ex-boyfriend Lee Kyung-do, whom she once loved passionately, broke out. Won Ji-an‘s acting, which portrays Seo Ji-woo’s unpredictable actions after meeting her former lover who was the happiest in her life at the worst moment of her life, is drawing attention.

In particular, curiosity is growing about the acting synergy between Park Seo-joon and Won Ji-an, who will portray the turbulent love story of Lee Kyung-do and Seo Ji-woo. Park Seo-joon and Won Ji-an‘s performances are expected to add to the immersion in the romance of a man and a woman who start their love in the innocent moments of youth, date passionately, experience a heartbreaking breakup, and then find their old love again.

Like this, ‘Waiting for Gyeong-do’ will deliver pleasant empathy, sweet excitement, and bittersweet comfort by depicting the past and present of Lee Gyeong-do and Seo Ji-woo, who have now become adults but return to their carefree childhood whenever they are together.

‘Waiting for Gyeong-do’ will air on JTBC.
