Kim Dong-wook, Seo Hyun-jin
A new drama has been lined up for tvN called You Are My Spring and casting has been confirmed for Seo Hyun-jin (Black Dog), Kim Dong-wook (Find Me in Your Memory), Yoon Park (Birthcare Center), and Nam Gyuri (Kairos).
The story is about a group of adults who are each still struggling with their inner child and trying to navigate the grown-up world around them. By happenstance, they all end up living in the same building together and the seeds for romance are sown. But their lives are thrown for a loop when a murder suddenly takes place in the building.
Seo Hyun-jin takes on the role of Kang Da-jung. She doesn’t remember a lot about her childhood, but she once stayed at a little motel by the sea and her memories there became forever cherished in her heart. When she became older, she entered the industry of hospitality and now works as a hotel concierge manager. In order to make a fresh start in her life, she moves into a new building. But is forced to confront her past when the murder incident unfolds and she becomes acquainted with downstairs neighbor, Kim Dong-wook.
Kim’s character is psychiatrist Joo Young-do, who became a doctor to help save lives. And he chose psychiatry to help those who don’t want to live or those who struggle with living a life worth living. With sharp intellect and deductive reasoning, he seems cool when he quickly analyzes different situations. However, in reality, he feels like big dork on the inside and he hides emotional scars from his past that remain unresolved.
Yoon Park plays Chae Joon, the CEO of an investment company. His personality runs in both directions, sometimes being warm-hearted and sweet, and sometimes colder than ice. He mysteriously appears in Seo Hyun-jin’s life one day and makes his romantic interest clear. What’s even stranger is that he always seems to know the right thing to say or do, as if he read a manual that was written all about Seo Hyun-jin.
Nam Gyuri plays the part of an actress named Ahn Ga-young, who is a bundle of contradictions. She is a person you both love and hate, at times lovely and at times annoying. And although she seems pitiful, she is also well-grounded and someone you can depend on. Her last boyfriend had also been her manager, but he manipulated her and left her traumatized after their relationship ended badly. Due to this experience, she is now fearful of falling in love again.
Written by Lee Mina (Bubblegum) and directed by PD Jung Ji-hyun (The King: Eternal Monarch, Search Query: WWW), tvN’s upcoming You Are My Spring is currently being planned to air in the early half of 2024.
