After a long time, a fresh and innocent ‘Campus Youth’ drama is coming out.

MBC‘s new drama ‘Bunny and the Brothers’, which will be aired for the first time on the 11th, tells the story of Bunny, who suddenly gets entangled with attractive men after her first love that remains a dark history. It is based on a popular webtoon of the same name, which recorded 170 million cumulative views.

PD Kim Ji-hoon, who is in charge of directing, attended the drama production conference held at Yongsan CGV in Seoul on the afternoon of the 3rd and said, “The original work’s drawings were so pretty. It felt like watching a romance comic,” and explained the planning intentions, saying, “I tried to preserve the feeling of the original work and create pretty images on screen. When you use a webtoon as the original, there are many parts that require cartoonish imagination, so I used camera techniques that I hadn‘t used before.”

The drama features actors with warm visuals that are rarely seen on real campuses. Although it is based on a webtoon, it is questionable whether it will resonate with viewers.

PD Kim said, “I hope viewers enjoy it. Don’t you get stressed out a lot in life? I want young actors to focus on showing their fresh sides.”

Furthermore, fresh actors such as Noh Jung-eui, Lee Chae-min, and Jo Jun-young, who are full of lovely charm, will be appearing.

PD Kim said, “I’ve been a fan of Noh Jung-eui since the beginning. I thought of Noh Jung-eui first when I decided to make a drama.” “She’s really good at acting. The platforms of webtoons and dramas are different, so there could be things that are excessive or insufficient when moving them, but Noh Jung-eui is flexible when communicating what kind of emotions she will express depending on the situation. She matches the tone and manner well. She has both visuals and acting.”

Lee Chae-min is similar. One day, I was changing the channel and suddenly stopped. He had strong visuals and charisma. I remembered that image and cast him as my ‘one pick. He is an upright, honest, hard-working, and lovely actor.”

Jo Jun-young said that he was the actor who received the most recommendations from his seniors and juniors. Although not many of his works have been revealed so far, PD Kim said that his charms will be seen in this drama.

Regarding this, Noh Jeong-ui said, “I didn’t think I had a lovely side to me,” and “I tried to express the loveliness of Bunny from the original webtoon. I tried to be Bunny with a happy heart, and I think that image was naturally captured on camera.”

Lee Chae-min also said, “It was a set where laughter never stopped. I hope that laughter is conveyed to the viewers through TV. He said, “It’s a fresh and warm drama, so please watch it a lot.”
