tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama "Illustrated Love" (directed by Jung Yeo-rang and Kim Gar-ram), which is scheduled to air in the second half of 2025, is a period of two-way growth in which national actors who have lost their initials and elite reporters who have lost their seats overcome their prejudices. The bitter scandal between a top star and an entertainment reporter, which is involved in a cheeky bad relationship, gives a different laugh, empathy and excitement to the spectacular entertainment industry, where odd incidents explode every day.
The meeting between Lee Jung-jae, who boasts overwhelming global popularity with the series 'Squid Game', and Lim Ji-yeon, who received great love through 'The Glory' and 'Occy Lady' is the best viewing point in itself. On top of that, director Kim Gar-ram, who worked across genres such as 'Good Partner'I Know', and writer Jeong Yeo-rang, who caused a syndrome with 'Doctor Cha Jung-sook', are expected to show off other works of harmony and walking.
In the meantime, the script reading site released further stimulates expectations. Director Kim Ga-ram and writer Jung Yeo-rang, as well as actors who amplify their trust with their names, including Lee Jung-jae, Lim Ji-yeon, Kim Ji-hoon, Seo Ji-hye, Choi Gui-hwa, Jeon Sung-woo, Kim Jae-chul, Na Young-hee, Jeon Soo-kyung, Kim Hyun-jin, Jin Ho-eun, Kim Beop-rae, and Cho Hee-bong, were present with pleasant energy all the time. It raised expectations for the first broadcast with a thorough acting skills show that disarms laughter.
First of all, Lee Jung-jae raised expectations for his return to his home room in six years with his performance that completely melted into Lim Hyun-joon, a national actor who dreams of becoming a melodrama master. Lee Jung-jae drew praise for the dynamic changes of Lim Hyun-jun in three dimensions with his pleasant and seasoned comic performance.
Lim Ji-yeon showed off her excellent character digestibility by playing the journalist Wi Sung-shin, who lost his seat due to a huge corruption scandal. In the political ace, who won the youngest reporter award, the left-handed adaptation of the spirit, which took place in the entertainment department in a single day, gave a pleasant feeling, foreshadowing the birth of another life character. Above all, the synergy between Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon, who completed the ever-changing relationship between Lim Hyun-joon and Wi Sung-shin with a pleasant tiki-taka, was more than expected.
Kim Ji-hoon showed off his presence by transforming into Lee Jae-hyung, president of Sports Eun-sung, a baseball player-turned sports magazine. Lee Jae-hyung, a lover who is friendly to everyone but goes straight to one woman, is a person who changes when he meets the spirit of the stomach. Kim Ji-hoon added excitement by redoubling the charm of romanticist Lee Jae-hyung with his unique level control. Seo Ji-hye transformed into Yoon Hwa-young, the youngest director of the entertainment department, who is an unprecedented member of Sports Eun-sung. Lee Jae-hyung's ex-lover is the only owner of a godly horse that can knock down the spirit of prestige. Seo Ji-hye's passionate performance, which revealed Yoon Hwa-young's cool yet soft charisma in three dimensions, also drew attention.
The performance of the scene stealers, which will add pleasant laughter and thrilling excitement, is also indispensable. Choi Gui-hwa has been the manager Hwang, who has been with Lim Hyun-joon since his debut, showing a pleasant 'Brochemistry'. Jeon Sung-woo became Park Byung-ki, the author of the Good Detective Kang Pil-gu series, which made Lim Hyun-joon a national actor, bringing in unpredictable laughter. Kim Jae-chul raises tensions by taking on Lee Dae-ho, an entertainment entrepreneur who is Lee Jae-hyung's elder brother and is not good for money. In particular, Oh Yeon-seo's special appearance as Lim Hyun-joon's past relationship global star Kwon Se-na also added to the fun. I wonder what variables the existence of Lee Dae-ho and Kwon Se-na, who will be entangled in unusual events with the characters, will act as in the development of the play.
The enthusiastic performance of the characters, who will play the role of licorice, is also expected. Na Young-hee was a sexy star in the 70s and Lim Hyun-joon's mother, Sung Ae-sook, and Jeon Soo-kyung was transformed into Oh Mi-ran, an incumbent actor with a halo of Lee Jae-hyung's birth mother and chaebol family. Lim Hyun-jun's younger brother, Lim Sun-woo, a medical student who has a thirst for acting, is played by Kim Hyun-jin, and Wi Hong-shin, a late-born younger brother of Wi Jung-shin and aspiring actor, is played by Jin Ho-eun, adding vitality to the real vibes. On top of that, Hong, who belongs to Sports Eun-seong, who never does anything to lose, was represented by Kim Beop-rae, and CEO Son, who is the representative of the production company of Good Detective Kang Pil-gu, was represented by Cho Hee-bong.
tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama `Illustrated Love' is scheduled to air in the second half of 2025.
