The PD of ‘Bunny and Brothers’ spoke honestly about the one-week delay in the first broadcast.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, a production conference for MBC‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Bunny and Brothers’ was held at Yongsan I-PARK MALL CGV in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Actors Noh Jung-eui, Lee Chae-min, Jo Joon-young, and PD Kim Ji-hoon attended the production conference that day.

PD Kim Ji-hoon said about the reason for casting Noh Jung-eui for the role of Bunny, “I was originally a fan of actor Jung-eui, who plays Bunny. I’ve always watched actor Jung-eui‘s work. When I was working on a webtoon, I didn’t worry about who I could work with and immediately thought of actor Noh Jung-eui. And he‘s really good at acting. The role of Bunny is difficult. There could be awkward parts when adapting a webtoon, but he’s such a good and intelligent actor. He explained, “We cast them because they have everything: visuals and acting.”

Regarding the fact that the first broadcast, which was originally scheduled for the 4th, was postponed by a week due to a special broadcast related to President Yoon Seok-yeol’s impeachment trial, PD Kim Ji-hoon said, “I don’t think we can say that the scheduling issue is regrettable. We do it according to the situation, so I think it turned out well.”

Meanwhile, ‘Barney and the Brothers’ is a romance drama about Barney (played by Noh Jung-eui) finding a boyfriend after her first love, which remains a dark history, gets entangled with attractive men who suddenly approach her. It is based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same name, which has garnered 170 million cumulative views.

Noh Jung-eui (as Ban Hee-jin), Lee Chae-min (as Hwang Jae-yeol), and Jo Jun-young (as Cha Ji-won) will portray the exciting romance of youth against the backdrop of a campus in full cherry blossoms. First broadcast on the 11th.
