Seo Ji-hye, Lee Ji-hoon, Sohn Na-eun
MBC’s newest romance drama Will You Have Dinner With Me has completed the lineup for their main cast. The drama’s plot is about the ways that people cope (or don’t cope) with the pain of breakups and how food can lead to unexpected emotional connections.
Song Seung-heon was confirmed a little while back as the male lead and Seo Ji-hye (Crash Landing on You) will be joining him as his costar. Lee Ji-hoon (9.9 Billion Won Woman) and Apink’s Sohn Na-eun (The Most Beautiful Goodbye in the World) will join them as second leads.
Seo Ji-hye’s character has a personality that’s passionate and a little out there, but after experiencing two severe breakups she’s tried her best to numb her heart. Lee Ji-hoon’s character was the one responsible for one of the heartbreaks in question.
Currently a journalist, formerly Seo Ji-hye’s college sweetheart, Lee Ji-hoon’s the hopeless romantic type. Despite being an utter romantic, he blindsided Seo by dumping her following their graduation and leaving the country. After years abroad, he returns to Korea and reappears in Seo’s life.
Sohn Na-eun will play Song Seung-heon’s ex-girlfriend, a haughty and social media famous fitness trainer. During their relationship, Sohn treated Song Seung-heon poorly, so poorly that he came to the conclusion that she didn’t love him so he left her. After their breakup, Sohn comes to believe there’s no man out there like Song Seung-heon (I can believe it) and decides she must win him back.
PD Ko Jae-Hyun (Player) will direct with Kim Joo penning the script. Will You Have Dinner With Me is set to premiere in May, following 365: A Fate-defying Year.
