The first script reading for JTBC’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama Sunbae, Don’t Put on That Lipstick recently took place and stills have now been released featuring the cast and crew.
The drama is based on a popular webtoon by the same title, and stars Won Jin-ah (Melting Me Softly) and Kim Ro-woon (Extraordinary You) in a noona romance. The characters work together at the same cosmetics company and become acquainted when Kim gets assigned to Won’s marketing team. Naturally, sparks fly. And although Won Jin-ah has never dated younger men, she finds herself falling for Kim Ro-woon’s charms when he begins to pursue her romantically.
Lee Hyun-wook (Search) plays the marketing team lead, who comes from a humble background and doesn’t have much to his name. Having worked his way up for the bottom, though, he values hard work and has a mature aura.
In contrast, photographer Lee Joo-bin (Find Me in Your Memory) lives a carefree lifestyle as her family founded the cosmetics company where our main characters work. And her older brother Lee Kyu-han (Graceful Family) is the marketing director.
Supporting cast members also include department head Ahn Se-ha (Zombie Detective) and Kim Ro-woon’s two older sisters: Wang Bit-na (Wind and Cloud and Rain) and Ha Yoon-kyung (Hospital Playlist).
Written by Chae Yoon and directed by PD Lee Dong-yoon (20th Century Boy and Girl, Fated to Love You), JTBC romance Sunabe, Don’t Put on That Lipstick is currently set to premiere early next year in 2024.
