The first script reading stills have dropped for JTBC’s Destined With You, featuring the fantasy rom-com’s main cast, led by Jo Boa (Military Prosecutor Doberman), Kim Ro-woon (Tomorrow), Ha Joon (Missing: The Other Side 2), and Yura (Forecasting Love and Weather).
The setup of the story begins 300 years in the past when a mysterious book was declared forbidden and sealed from the public eye. In present day, the book somehow makes its way into the hands of our heroine – civil servant Lee Hong-jo (Jo Boa) — and gives her the key to unlock an old curse. Said curse has been afflicting our attorney hero Jang Shin-yu (Kim Ro-woon) and his family for generations.
But with their fates now tied and romance starting to blossom, Hong-jo’s colleague and crush Kwon Jae-kyung (Ha Joon) is none too pleased by our main pair’s growing relationship. Our love square is also complicated by Shin-yu’s girlfriend, Yoon Na-yeon (Yura), who has a history of bullying Hong-jo in the past.
In supporting roles, Na-yeon’s dad is Mayor Song Young-kyu (Agency), while Jung Hye-young (Reborn Rich) and Lee Pil-mo (The King’s Affection) will be playing Shin-yu’s parents. We will also be seeing Lee Tae-ri (Red Heart) as Shin-yu’s best friend from high school.
Rounding out the government office team, Hong-jo’s co-workers include Lee Bong-ryun (Crash Course in Romance), Hyun Bong-shik (Shadow Detective 2), Mi-ram (Yumi’s Cells 2), and Park Kyung-hye (Love in Contract).
Written by Noh Ji-seol (100 Days My Prince) with PD Nam Ki-hoon (Big Bet, Kiss Sixth Sense) at the helm, JTBC’s Destined With You is slated to follow Miraculous Brothers in the Wednesday-Thursday slot, premiering on August 23.
