Refreshingly light youth rom-com drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol held its first script read on June 23. Set against the backdrop of a small village piano academy, Go Ara (Haechi) plays an energetic pianist, and Lee Jae-wook (I’ll Find You on a Beautiful Day) plays a carefree part-timer.
Despite undergoing a sudden difficult change in her life, Go Ara’s character maintains her perpetual optimism. Whereas Lee Jae-wook’s character lives paycheck to paycheck without any goals or dreams. He also has many secrets from his past that still cause him pain in the present. At times, he can seem very considerate and at other times, he seems completely indifferent. Despite looking cold and rough, he’s actually very warm and detail-oriented.
Kim Joo-hun (It’s Okay to Not Be Okay) plays an orthopedic surgeon who has lost his laughter and motivation due to burnout syndrome. He’s a Daddy Long Legs figure to Go Ara’s character, always giving her warm, mature support.
Yeh Ji-won (Will You Have Dinner With Me) plays a hilarious shop owner, but the shop’s description is a little confusing. Called “Jin’s Hair,” it’s described as a a “dry tasty shop;” so is it a hair salon or a restaurant or both? I guess we’ll have to tune in to find out. Shin Eun-soo (Bad Papa) plays Yeh Ji-won’s daughter who has a big-time crush on Lee Jae-wook.
Lee Soon-jae (Pegasus Market) plays a mysterious old man who recycles discarded paper products. Finally, Seo Yi-sook (A Couple’s World) plays Lee Jae-wook’s mom who pursues her son with a singleminded determination.
The production team said of the script read: “As the actors brought their characters alive, there was no space for boredom. It was a script reading full of warm laughter and fluttering romantic tension.” Furthermore, they were confident that “Viewers can look forward to seeing the synergy of these actors who brought their own unique color to their acting, enhancing their characters.”
KBS Wednesday-Thursday drama Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol, written by Oh Ji-young (Shopping King Louis) and directed by Kim Min-kyung (Matrimonial Chaos), will begin airing in August.
