Lee Min-ki, Nana
A romance is set to bloom between Lee Min-ki (The Lies Within) and Nana (Memorials) in the upcoming MBC drama Oh! Master. Lee Min-ki stars as a successful screenwriter who chooses not to love, and Nana plays a top actress who doesn’t know how to date.
Famous for being the best thriller-drama scriptwriter in the business, Lee Min-ki’s character deliberately chooses not to date. On the other hand, Nana’s character was nicknamed “Korea’s Rom-com Queen” for all the acting roles she’s had in the past, but the actress herself doesn’t know the first thing about dating.
It’s not the most exciting setup, but I think Oh! Master could be a cute fluffy romp if done well. Lee Min-ki’s track record with rom-coms has been excellent so far (The Beauty Inside, Because This Life is Our First), and I found Nana to be a gem in Memorials so I’m excited for their pairing. Especially with Jo Jin-gook, the writer who penned Fated to Love You and Soulmate onboard, Oh! Master has a lot of potential.
MBC drama Oh! Master, written by Jo Jin-gook and directed by Hyun Sol-ip, will begin airing in March 2024.
