The first script reading was recently held for tvN’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama A Piece of Your Mind (a.k.a. Half of a Half) and new stills have now been released.
Present at the reading were leading actors Jung Hae-in (One Spring Night), Chae Soo-bin (Fox Bride Star), Lee Hana (Voice 3), and Kim Sung-gyu (Kingdom). And supporting cast included Lee Sang-hee (Diary of a Prosecutor), Hong Woo-jin (Crash Landing On You), and Kang Bong-sung (Strongest Deliveryman) among others.
At its core, the story is about unrequited love and the drama explores how it starts, how it grows, and also how it ends. The focus will be on romantic love that’s both given and returned, and how its warmth is like the coming spring that melts away the winter cold.
Jung Hae-in plays one of the main roles, the character of Ha Won. A programmer in the field of artificial intelligence, he spent his youth living in Norway where his only friend at the time was a girl named Ji-soo. She meant the world to him when they were growing up and his crush on her is still going strong 10 years on from their time together.
Chae Soo-bin plays the character Han Seo-woo, a recording engineer in the classical music industry. Rather than over-complicating matters, she prefers to see things from a simpler lens and likes to live a simple life. She may not live in the nicest apartment and she has yet to secure a steady job, but she is ever the optimistic and has faith that things will work out in the end.
Through the course of the story, Jung Hae-in and Chae Soo-bin’s characters somehow cross paths and despite Jung’s longstanding feelings for his first love, he finds his resolve is shaken when Chae enters his life.
Written by Lee Sook-yeon (On the Way to the Airport) and directed by PD Lee Sang-yub (Familiar Wife, Shopping King Louis), tvN’s upcoming A Piece of Your Mind is currently set to premiere next month on March 23.
