The visuals of Noh Jeong-ui, Lee Chae-min, Jo Jun-young, Kim Hyun-jin, and Hong Min-ki capture attention.
MBC‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Bunny and the Brothers’ (directed by Kim Ji-hoon, written by Sung So-eun, Lee Seul, produced by Kakao Entertainment), which will be aired for the first time in April, is raising expectations for the campus life of Yein University with unique characters through the ‘Bunny House’ teaser video.
The video begins with a loud alarm sound and captures attention with the sweet greeting of the ‘Brothers’ that appears at Bunny’s (played by Noh Jeong-ui) house. As soon as he opens his eyes, Barney also expresses his excitement and surprise by saying, “What is this?”
Then, with a warm smile and a suggestion for morning coffee from Cha Ji-won (played by Jo Jun-young), a top 0.1% boyfriend candidate, Jo A-rang (played by Kim Hyun-jin) who asks, “Did you sleep well?” with eyes dripping with honey, and Jin Hyeon-oh (played by Hong Min-ki) who has a sporty charm and suggests morning exercise, a barrage of beautiful looks that you can‘t take your eyes off of unfolds. Barney’s face also smiles as he hears their greetings, adding to the delight.
In the midst of all this, the warm hand of Hwang Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min), the official ability character of Yein University, stroking Barney‘s hooded hat, makes his heart rate increase rapidly. As if it were a scene from a romantic play, the eye contact between Barney and Hwang Jae-yeol under the lights makes the atmosphere even more ripe.
In particular, Hwang Jae-yeol’s school commute plot(?) saying, “Barney, come to school with me” leaves the viewers speechless. Just like the line, “Men are starting to get entangled in my life,” what kind of story Barney will write with the men who suddenly entered her life one day, and her campus life with them is anticipated.
On the other hand, the unrealistic visuals of the actors who seem to have jumped out of a comic book add to the interest. At the end of the video, the charming webtoon characters from the original work are connected to the actors, and the dazzling visual bombardment of the comic book men and women captures the attention. Here, the refreshing synergy of wannabe high teen stars Noh Jung-eui (as Barney), Lee Chae-min (as Hwang Jae-yeol), Jo Jun-young (as Cha Ji-won), Kim Hyun-jin (as Jo Ah-rang), and Hong Min-ki (as Jin Hyeon-oh) makes viewers curious about ‘Barney and the Brothers’, which will take charge of the viewers‘ romantic cells.
MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Barney and the Brothers’ is a romance about Barney (played by Noh Jung-eui) finding a boyfriend after her first love, which was a dark history, suddenly gets entangled with attractive men. It is based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same name, which has recorded 170 million cumulative views, and will be aired for the first time in April.
