Still cuts showing the special chemistry between Jung Yu-mi‘s grandfather Kim Kap-soo and Joo Ji-hoon’s father Lee Byung-joon have been released.
tvN‘s new Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Love on a Single-log Bridge’ (directed by Park Joon-hwa, written by Lim Ye-jin) depicts the war-like romance of Seok Ji-won and Yoon Ji-won, who were born on the same day and with the same name in the families of enemies. After a painful separation in the summer of eighteen, these sworn enemies reunite after 18 years.
Joo Ji-hoon plays the role of ‘Seok Ji-won’, the chairman of Dokmok High School and Yoon Ji-won’s one and only enemy, and Jung Yu-mi plays ‘Yoon Ji-won’, a physical education teacher at Dokmok High School who reunites with her enemy Seok Ji-won after 18 years. Kim Kap-soo plays the role of Yoon Jae-ho, the chairman of Dokmok High School and Yoon Ji-won‘s grandfather, and Lee Byung-joon plays the role of Seok Ji-won’s father, ‘Seok Kyung-tae, the chairman of Seokban Construction.
The photos released by the production team show Yoon Jae-ho and Seok Kyung-tae‘s family chemistry. Yoon Jae-ho is putting cherry tomatoes in Yoon Ji-won’s mouth as she prepares for work. His warm visual in the school gym uniform and the affection he shows for his granddaughter give a glimpse into the relationship between the two who have lived relying on each other.
On the other hand, Seok Kyung-tae is busy taking photos to congratulate his son‘s inauguration as chairman. However, the forced hand heart and Seok Kyung-tae’s expression, which looks somewhat uncomfortable, make people laugh. Above all, Seok Ji-won is smiling brightly, whether he knows his father‘s feelings or not, and anticipation is rising for the father-son chemistry the two will show.
However, unlike their affectionate appearances, the meeting between Yoon Jae-ho and Seok Kyung-tae is a typical example of mortal enemies. The tense and hilarious fight between Yoon Jae-ho, who jumps up and swears at Seok Kyung-tae as soon as he sees him at the board meeting, and Seok Kyung-tae, who does not back down, creates tension and laughter. This raises curiosity about the background of the three-generation feud, while attention is focused on the exciting story of the two families clashing again with the appearance of Seok Kyung-tae, who has been sharpening his sword of revenge.
The production team said, “Kim Kap-soo and Lee Byung-joon will show chemistry as enemies that is no less than Joo Ji-hoon and Jung Yu-mi,” and “Please look forward to the activities of the four people who will show various charms, from affectionate family chemistry to chemistry as enemies.”
‘Love on a Single-Log Bridge’ will premiere at 9:20 p.m. on the 23rd.
