The new rom-com reunites Jung Yumi with the writer of the cable franchise I Need Romance, and Eric has been cast as the ex-boyfriend who reenters her life while she’s dating a new guy. This writer seems inordinately fixated on the perpetually breaking up and re-dating couple, so the setup seems a bit obvious, but then most rom-com plots are, at least on paper. The good news is that these actors have chemistry together, which goes a long way.
Jung Yumi has signed on to play the furniture designer whose current relationship hits a snag when Eric the ex reenters the picture. Eric plays the president of an interior design company, so they’ll undoubtedly be connected through her work. He’s described as a smart, confident man with a strong competitive edge who always gets what he wants. But when it comes to relationships, he’s a hopeless romantic. The drama will be about each of them discovering what true love is as they reunite.
Discovery of Romance follows Trot Lovers on Mondays and Tuesdays this August.
I love Jung Yumi! Aw, I was just rewatching Que Sera Sera, my first and favorite of her dramas. Her and Eric were such a bizarre matchup that I wouldn’t mind seeing them together again. Looks like they’re both looking into different projects though, which is fine because that just means more dramas to get excited for! It really does seem like we have a lot of promising dramas coming this summer. Overall, I think we’re in store for a pretty solid year.
