Choo Young Woo and Kim So Hyun are set to star together in a new drama !
On December 1, ENA announced that the actors will lead its upcoming series “Romance Expert” (literal title), directed by Ahn Pan Seok, known for hits like Something in the Rain, One Spring Night, and The Midnight Romance in Hagwon. The drama tells the story of a former swimmer who lost his leg to illness and a woman who, after struggling as a medical resident, finds a new path as a graduate student.
Choo Young Woo will play Park Min Jae, a robotics PhD student who lost his dream of swimming after losing his leg. Though diligent in his work, he’s awkward with emotions—until the driven Yoo Jin enters his life. “I’m thrilled to work with Director Ahn Pan Seok,” Choo said. “With a great script and team, I’ll approach Min Jae with a happy heart.”
Kim So Hyun takes on Im Yoo Jin, a bold graduate student in clothing and textiles who, after being labeled a troublemaker, discovers a new passion in robotics. Determined and fearless, she may be the one to awaken Min Jae’s heart. “Working with Director Ahn Pan Seok is an honor,” Kim shared. “Yoo Jin’s charm drew me in, and I’ll give my all to this role.”
