The drama will present a fresh excitement by depicting the complicated relationships between Barney, who is a top-tier character in both personality and grades but is the official love fool at school, and Hwang Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min), a character in visual design and official ability, and Cha Ji-won (played by Jo Jun-young), who is in the top 0.1% of the dating market. As curiosity grows over how the three characters will meet on the cherry blossom-filled campus, the actors raise interest by sharing relationship keywords.

First, Noh Jeong-eui, who plays Barney, described the relationship between Barney and Hwang Jae-yeol as an “intersection,” saying, “Because they can meet anywhere and in various ways, it’s easy for them to miss each other.”

Lee Chae-min, who plays Hwang Jae-yeol, said, “Barney and Hwang Jae-yeol weren’t on good terms from the beginning. They somehow kept getting entangled and their relationship gradually developed, so if I had to define it in one word, I’d say it’s “dislike.”,” raising anticipation for the changes in the relationship between Barney and Hwang Jae-yeol.

Meanwhile, Noh Jeong-eui and Jo Jun-young selected clouds and pine trees, respectively, as keywords for Barney and Cha Ji-won, who met as seniors and juniors in the same department. Noh Jeong-eui arouses curiosity by revealing the reason, saying, “Barney and Cha Ji-won are a great source of strength for each other, but they’re also like clouds in the sky, someone you can have but can‘t have.”

Jo Jun-young, who plays Cha Ji-won, also added, “I think Cha Ji-won is like a pine tree who is by Barney’s side and can lean on him, as they are in the same department as senior and junior.” Interest is also focused on the story of Barney and Cha Ji-won becoming strong supports for each other.

In particular, the revealed photos capture the sight of the youths who are starting to feel excitement for each other, drawing attention. Barney, Hwang Jae-yeol, and Cha Ji-won show off their dazzling visual chemistry against the backdrop of a campus full of cherry blossoms. Accordingly, the pink romance of these three people who meet in various ways like ‘Intersection’, go through a process of bickering and becoming each other‘s strength like ‘Clouds’, and become each other’s supporters like ‘Pine trees’, is anticipated.

MBC‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Barney and Brothers’, which will awaken viewers’ romantic cells with the synergy of the visual powerhouses of this area, Noh Jung-eui, Lee Chae-min, and Jo Joon-young, will first air on April 4 (Friday) at 9:50 PM.
