He’s no stranger to JTBC, having done three of his last five dramas at the cable station including his critically acclaimed Secret Love Affair, so my expectations are pretty high for a high-quality production. Secret Love Affair was centered around two lovers with a large age gap of twenty years, a rarity for a female-male pair in dramaland at the time. So if the new drama is indeed going to be a noona romance, I trust this PD to pull it off with amazing chemistry.
His previous casts include likes of Kim Hee-ae, Yoo Ah-in, Jang Hyun-sung, Kim Myung-min and other notably gifted actors. He’s worked with Kim Hee-ae twice in Secret Love Affair and A Wife’s Credentials, which broke 4 percent ratings for JTBC for the first time. Although pandemic sci-fi thriller End of the World wasn’t a huge success, Ahn Pan-seok’s medical drama White Tower is still held as the golden standard for medical dramas.
