I’m convinced that Lee Na-young (Runaway Plan B) has an elixir for eternal youth hoarded up somewhere so only she and Won Bin can drink it. It’s been nine years since her last drama project, and I swear she looks exactly the same. The latest stills of this ever-beautiful actress have been released as promo for her next rom-com office drama, Romance Is a Bonus Book.
Lee Na-young stars as a woman named Kang Dan-yi who used to be a rising star in the copywriting world. However, several years have passed since her heyday, and now Dan-yi goes around being constantly rejected at interviews due to her overqualifications and her lack of tact. Lee Na-young said about her character, “Despite her harsh life, Kang Dan-yi is the type of person who doesn’t give up and strives even harder for herself. At times, she’s pitiful but her positivity is also very lovable.”
Somehow, Dan-yi ends up deceiving others about her overqualifications in order to gain a temp position at a book publishing company. There, she meets Lee Jong-seok’s (While You Were Sleeping) character, who is the genius hard-working editor-in-chief. Eventually, they engage in a sweet noona romance.
tvN drama Romance Is a Bonus Book, directed by PD Lee Jung-hyo (Life on Mars, Good Wife) and written by Jung Hyun-jung (I Need Romance), will air in the first half of next year.
