I like both leads, so I hope this pairing is true. Plotwise, the drama doesn't look like anything new, but KSE always brings her charisma to every role and I'm ready for a good rom com. Yes, you are correct. Kim So Eun and Ji Hyun Woo worked together before in the drama A Thousand Kisses. They each had different love interests in that drama. KSE character had loveline with JHW character's cousin, and JHW character had loveline with KSE  character's older sister.

MBC’s new drama “Can’t Be Bothered to Date, But Don’t Want to Be Lonely” (literal title) released its first teaser!

The drama is a romance drama about housemates in their 20s and 30s who don’t want anything serious and want to enjoy freedom but also don’t want to be lonely. Ji Hyun Woo plays Cha Kang Woo, a handsome psychiatrist with a peculiar personality, while Kim So Eun is Lee Na Eun, a freelancing copy editor who has said no to dating for the past four years.

The new teaser beings with Cha Kang Woo snorting at the thought of dating. He declares, “There’s a saying that goes, ‘You can fix things, but you can’t fix people.’ Someone perfect for me? It’s going to take an eternity to find her. There are too many fun things in the world. In one word, dating is bothersome!”

However, it almost seems like he’s trying to convince himself that dating isn’t right for him. He starts playing the guitar and singing, “Dating is bothersome.” Then he busies himself with video games, a Rubik’s Cube, and a toy. Just when he finishes his song, Lee Na Eun suddenly barges in with a suitcase, and he stares at her with surprise.

Kim So Eun looks first shocked, and then displeased at finding herself in this situation, while Ji Hyun Woo appears surprised and then interested in her.

A source from the drama said, “Please look forward to the romantic chemistry between Ji Hyun Woo and Kim So Eun. The two have shone brightly in the romance genre on their own, but they have fantastic chemistry together. For every scene, the two actors are respectful of each other and discuss their characters while filming. Please look forward to the ordinary but special romance that the two actors created through their hard work.”

Gongchan (B1A4) turns into "cool" bodyguard in teaser photos for new drama

Gongchan (B1A4) will challenge himself with the role as a bodyguard in the drama "Love is Annoying, But I Hate Being Lonely".

On July 27, the original drama "Love is Annoying, But I Hate Being Lonely" (MBC Every1, screenwriter Jo Jin Gook, director Lee Hyun Joo, hereinafter referred to as "Love is Annoying") has released Gongchan's still-cuts.

"Love is Annoying" tells a romantic love story of people living under the same roof. They are people in their 20s, 30s and want to experience love yet are afraid to get into a serious relationship, want to enjoy freedom but don't want to be lonely. This is promising to be an excellent romantic drama as the press reported that the work was sold to 4 foreign countries before the broadcast of the first episode.

The focus of "Love is Annoying" is the cast and the characters that are close to life and possess the ability to win viewers regardless of gender. Previously, the drama side grabbed attention after publishing the still-cuts of Ji Hyun Woo as a neurologist, Kim So Eun as a young woman like she is in real life, and Park Geon Il as a steward.

 

Following that spirit, the production team announced the behind-the-scenes photos "teasing" the special transformation of Gongchan in this work. In the drama, Gongchan plays Jung Hoon - the most capable bodyguard in the field that usually protects celebrities, artists, or plutocrats.

In the new photos, Gongchan dons a dandy suit and cautiously looks around. The flawless outfit and hairstyle, razor-sharp gaze, and the facial expression that does not seem to show emotions easily create the image of a top bodyguard in the industry. Notably, with the concept contrasting with a carefree Gongchan from B1A4 the public often sees on the stage, the photos are garnering much attention.

Character Jung Hoon played by Gongchan is a guard who possesses more celebrity-quality visuals than a celebrity. Therefore, he undoubtedly became the charming man who attracts the attention of all women everywhere, not only in the common house - the main setting of the drama. However, he has a secret he hasn't told anyone. Thus, the viewers are looking forward to the image Gongchan will show in the drama "Love is Annoying", which promises to boast his handsome visual and mature acting skills.

Concerning this, the film crew said, "The audience will have the opportunity to admire the different charisma of actor Gongchan through 'Love is Annoying'. Gongchan not only carefully prepared for action scenes but also changed his visual and style. Please show your interest and expectation for him."

"Love is Annoying" is the production marking the collaboration between scriptwriter Jo Jin Gook of "Soulmate", "Hello Franceska", "Fated to Love You" and PD Lee Hyun Joo of "Imaginary Cat", "Sweet & Salty Office". The drama is arousing expectation by promising to show the painting of reality and the emotions of love of those in their 20~30. The first episode will be aired at 10:50 pm (KST) August 11.

“Can’t Be Bothered to Date, But Don’t Want to Be Lonely” is an upcoming romance drama about housemates in their 20s and 30s who don’t want anything serious and want to enjoy their freedom but also don’t want to be lonely.

Ji Hyun Woo has received praise in the past for his acting in numerous romance dramas including “Old Miss Diary,” “My Sweet City,” “Queen In Hyun’s Man,” “Risky Romance,” and “Love in Sadness.” Viewers are highly anticipating Ji Hyun Woo’s new role following Cha Kang Woo’s heart-fluttering seduction in the new teaser and his serenade in a recently released set of stills. New stills of Ji Hyun Woo smiling sweetly on the filming set has further piqued viewers’ curiosity for his romantic scenes in the upcoming drama.

The production team shared, “Through our drama, viewers can fully appreciate the romance genre expert Ji Hyun Woo.

With his unique gaze, voice, and smile, Ji Hyun Woo portrays Cha Kang Woo as an even more charismatic character.” They added their hopes for viewers to look forward to Ji Hyun Woo’s role and the upcoming drama.

“Can’t Be Bothered to Date, But Don’t Want to Be Lonely” will premiere on August 11 at 10:50 p.m. KST
