Song Kang, Han So-hee
Rising stars Song Kang (Love Alarm 2) and Han So-hee (A Couple’s World) are pairing up for a new JTBC drama called Even Though I Know. Based on a Naver webtoon by the same name (author: Jung Seo), it’s a love story between a woman who doesn’t believe in love but wants a relationship and a man who’s too lazy for a relationship but wants to engage in a light fling.
Expect a sweet, sexy and sometimes naughty drama about two twenty-two-year-old youths who don’t feel exactly like grown-ups yet. Song Kang plays the man who wants to feel the flutterings of romance, but isn’t looking for a relationship. He’s kind to everyone, but that’s because he’s not interested in others and is a proponent of the single life. He doesn’t get invested emotionally by drawing strict lines around his relationships, and is the master of playing hard to get.
Han So-hee plays a woman who doesn’t believe in fated love, but wants a steady boyfriend. Due to the cruel and pointless way her first love ended, she’s decided never to fall in love again. When Song Kang’s character approaches her, she’s attracted to him like magic, and she begins to falter in that decision.
JTBC Friday-Saturday drama Even Though I Know, directed by Kim Ga-ram (Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency) and written by Jung Won, will begin airing in June after the end of Undercover’s run.
