On the afternoon of the 28th, a production presentation was held on TVing and Naver TV for tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Yalm Love' (written by Jung Yeo-rang, directed by Kim Gar-ram). The production presentation was attended by top star Lee Jung-jae as Lim Hyun-joon, who is trapped in a righteous criminal image, Lim Ji-yeon as Wi Jung-shin, an entertainment reporter who is a corpse except for Justice, Kim Ji-hoon as Lee Jae-hyung, president of Sports Eun-sung from Major League Baseball, Seo Ji-hye as Yoon Hwa-young, the youngest director of Sports Eun-sung's entertainment department, and producer Kim Ga-ram.
Lim Ji-yeon said, `In my previous work, I played a character who suffers a lot, but in this work, I will play a light and comical role that suits my age.' `You will see various aspects of the spirit of authority"I was confident.
Interest in the chemistry between Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon was also hot. In fact, the two are on the same wavelength at the artist company. In response, Lee Jung-jae "There are a lot of bickering even in the field. I don't know how mean you are to me. 'Why are you bothering people like this?When I ask him ', he laughs 'It's fun' That's why I put myself in this piece" he joked. In response, Lim Ji-yeon recalled the image of Lee Jung-jae when she read the script. So, I shyly texted Lee Jung-jae saying, `I want to do this work together.' So is the relationship between roles. As it turns out, there is a relationship between a sloppy top star and a fact-bombing reporter. Of course, every time I act, I feel cathartic every day. He's a senior who accepts everything, so he's really comfortable when acting. There will be more real chemistry than acting. He showed off his friendship by saying, "It's more comfortable than actors of his age."
Concerns about the age gap, which is 18 years younger than him, were also mentioned. Lee Jung-jae "I'm older than him, but he's being mean to me like this. It's getting worse and worse," he said, making the audience laugh.
'Mean Love' is a drama about a lost national actor who is trapped in a righteous criminal image and an entertainment reporter who is desperate for justice, who gradually breaks their prejudices and understands each other after experiencing fan sentiment, disappointment, interest, and hatred. Lee Jung-jae, Lim Ji-yeon, Kim Ji-hoon, and Seo Ji-hye appeared, and Jung Yeo-rang, the writer of 「Doctor Cha Jung-sook」, directed the play, and Kim Ga-ram, the producer of"Good Partner". It will premiere at 8:50 p.m. on November 3rd.
