ENA has released their first round of promos for Icy Cold Romance, including stills from the first script reading along with a new poster and video teaser.
The rom-com stars Lee Da-hee (L.U.C.A.: The Beginning) as variety show PD Gu Yeo-reum. She and Choi Siwon’s (Work Later, Drink Now) Park Jae-hoon have been close friends for 20 years, but their friendship – and feelings – are put to the test when Jae-hoon becomes a contestant on Yeo-reum’s reality TV dating show, The Kingdom of Love.
In supporting roles, Jo Soo-hyang (Love All Play) plays a fellow PD and frenemy named Kang Chae-ri. We also have Park Yeon-woo (Rookie Cops) as chef John Jang, the current star of The Kingdom of Love, and AB6IX’s Lee Dae-hwi (Mon Chouchou Global House) as Yeo-reum’s assistant PD.
Outside of work, Yeo-reum has the support of loving parents, Im Ha-ryong (Welcome to Wedding Hell) and Yang Hee-kyung (If You Wish Upon Me). And, rounding out the friend group, we have married couple Min Jin-woong (Secret Royal Inspector and Joy) and Noh Susanna (Men Are Men).
The new teaser begins with chef John asking to meet up and Yeo-reum scrambles to get ready. She wonders if this is the moment and if she should make the first move. But Jae-hoon calls her crazy for misreading the situation, betting that the guy won’t be interested even if she threw herself at him. Jae-hoon isn’t phased when Yeo-reum threatens to kill him and we jump to a seaside coast, as the video comes to a close. Rather than helping our heroine through the mudflats, Jae-hoon decides he’ll have some fun teasing her instead.
Directed by PD Choi Kyu-shik (Hush) with Kim Sol-ji (Pegasus Market) writing the scripts, ENA’s Icy Cold Romance premieres next month on October 5, following Good Job in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
