JTBC‘s new drama ‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ (written by Yoo Young-ah and directed by Lim Hyun-wook) has completed its lineup that will present a heartwarming romance.

‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ is a romantic comedy about Lee Gyeong-do (played by Park Seo-joon) and Seo Ji-woo (played by Won Ji-an), who have dated twice when they were twenty and twenty-eight and broken up, reuniting as a reporter who reports an affair scandal and the wife of the person at the center of the scandal, and falling in love in a heartwarming way.

First, Park Seo-joon plays Lee Gyeong-do, an entertainment reporter for Dongwoon Ilbo. Lee Gyeong-do is a character who finds his days difficult after meeting his ex-girlfriend Seo Ji-woo due to an affair scandal involving his first love’s husband. Attention is focused on Park Seo-joon‘s transformation as he portrays the character of Lee Kyung-do, whose ordinary daily life is bombed.

Won Ji-an exudes new charm as Seo Ji-woo, the second daughter of Jarim Apparel, who divorced due to her current husband’s affair scandal that her ex-boyfriend Lee Kyung-do caused. Curiosity is growing about Won Ji-an‘s performance, which will create Seo Ji-woo’s unpredictable actions after meeting her old lover again at the worst moment of her life.

On the other hand, Lee El plays Seo Ji-yeon, Seo Ji-woo‘s older sister who loves her younger sister very much. Unlike her troublemaker celebrity younger sister Seo Ji-woo, Lee El’s passionate acting as she melts into the character of Seo Ji-yeon, the CEO of Jarim Apparel, who has a calm and intellectual aura.

Lee Joo-young breathes life into the role of Park Se-young, a member of the theater club Jirimyeolryeol, who spent her youth with Lee Kyung-do and Seo Ji-woo. Park Se-young will be playing the role of the director of an art academy who supports her husband Cha Woo-sik’s dream both materially and spiritually, and also as the spiritual pillar of Ji-ri-meol-ryeol.

Kang Ki-dong’s acting, who will complete the romance between Park Se-young and Cha Woo-sik along with Lee Joo-young, is also noteworthy. Although he has nothing, he transforms into Cha Woo-sik, who is full of passion and romance as an actor. We are curious about the life story of Cha Woo-sik, who lives a more dramatic life than a play, with his love for his wife Park Se-young.

Jo Min-gook plays Lee Jung-min, who runs a used car business and becomes the link between the members of Ji-ri-meol-ryeol’s club. Even while traveling around the country for business, he arranges meetings between his friends every time, continuing the story of Ji-ri-meol-ryeol’s unique friendship, and displays pleasant chemistry.

In particular, Lee Kyung-do, Seo Ji-woo, Park Se-young, Cha Woo-sik, and Lee Jung-min first met in the theater club Ji-ri-meol-ryeol in college and have maintained their friendship even after time has passed. Even though they are well into their thirties, attention is focused on the synergy of the actors who will express the deep relationship of the disjointed members who suddenly rejuvenate each other just by seeing them.

Like this, ‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ is expected to present a variety of emotions from excitement to empathy and comfort as each character with different personalities and stories, including Lee Kyung-do and Seo Ji-woo, who meet for the third time after breaking up twice, as well as Seo Ji-yeon, Park Se-young, Cha Woo-shik, and Lee Jung-min, are intertwined.

‘Waiting for Gyeongdo’ is scheduled to air on JTBC.
