Yoon Sang-hyun (Perfect Wife) is looking at MBC’s new melodrama Let’s Hold Hands and Watch the Sunset as his potential next project. He’s considering an offer to be one half of the married couple at the center of the story, and actress Han Hye-jin (Warm Words) is up to co-star.
The new drama comes from PD Jung Ji-in of Radiant Office and veteran drama writer Jung Ha-yeon of Cruel Palace: War of Flowers, Queen Insoo, Flames of Ambition, and many other titles. It’ll tell the story of a married couple suddenly confronted with death, and how it leads them to look back on the time they’ve spent together and rediscover parts of themselves that they’d lost. It’s described as a healing drama about learning the importance of love and family.
Yoon Sang-hyun is up to play a geeeeenius architect who once shook up the architecture world, but he was so ahead of his time that he had trouble turning his talent into demonstrable success. With the help of his wife and father-in-law, he eventually sets up his own firm. One day, his wife suddenly presents him with divorce papers, and his first love reenters his life, which sends him into a tailspin.
But… you mean like a tiny tailspin in his own head, after which he’s a good husband, right? Because I refuse to spend an entire drama mad at Yoon Sang-hyun, so I feel like the answer to that question will determine whether or not I watch this thing.
Let’s Hold Hands and Watch the Sunset is set to air on Wednesdays and Thursdays in March, following I’m Not a Robot and the Winter Olympics on MBC.
