Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin may be acting as lovers in a new drama!

On July 20, YTN star reported that Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin were offered the leading roles for MBC’s new drama “Lovers” (literal title).

In response to the report, a representative of Namgoong Min’s agency 935 Entertainment shared, “It is one of the projects he has been offered,” and added, “As he is currently filming for ‘1000 Won Lawyer,’ he is focusing on filming for that drama. Nothing has been decided regarding his following project.”

Ahn Eun Jin’s agency United Artists Agency also remarked, “‘Lovers’ is one of the projects she has received an offer for. She is currently reviewing the offer.”

“Lovers” is a history romance drama taking place in Joseon Dynasty that tells the story of a man, who has declared that he will not marry, falling in love with a woman who dreams of love again even after two failed marriages.

Namgoong Min is in talks to play Lee Jang Hyun, a mysterious man who suddenly appeared in Neunggeun Village’s high society one day. After experiencing an unimaginable tragedy in life, he finds nothing to be interesting, but he is strongly attracted to a woman named Yoo Gil Chae who has a strong will to live that he does not have.

Ahn Eun Jin was offered the role of Yoo Gil Chae, the second daughter of Yoo Gyo Yeon who is a nobleman retired to the countryside. Yoo Gil Chae is a figure who reigns as a socialite goddess with her beauty and charm. She would do whatever it takes to get what she wants. She also has a crush on Yeon Jun, who already has a fiancée, but the mysterious Lee Jang Hyun, whose every aspect is different from Yeon Jun, is in the back of her mind.

“Lovers” draws a lot of expectations as it is written by Hwang Jin Young, an established writer in historical dramas who previously penned “The King’s Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang” and “The Rebel.” “Lovers” will be helmed by producing director Kim Sung Yong of “The Veil,” which Namgoong Min also starred in. The drama is scheduled to air in the first half of next year.

Meanwhile, Namgoong Min is currently filming for SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama “1000 Won Lawyer”. Ahn Eun Jin is preparing for the Netflix series “Goodbye Earth.”

South Korean actors Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun-jin have been confirmed to star as leads in the upcoming historical romantic drama Lovers.

On January 13, MBC confirmed the news through their Instagram account. The drama will be helmed by director Kim Sung-yong and penned by screenwriter Hwang Jin-young.

 

The historical romance is set in the Joseon era. It presents the story of a man who swears never to fall in love again. However, the man ends up falling for a woman who has had two failed marriages previously. The woman dreams of finding a new love again.

Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun-jin’s characters will explore the themes of love and marriage in the upcoming drama.

 

Namgoong Min is set to play the role of a mysterious man named Lee Jang-hyun who suddenly makes his appearance in Neunggeun Village’s high society. He seems cold and unreachable. After going through a horrendous and tragic event in his life, he finds nothing interesting and sees the world through a dismal lens.

However, things start to change for Jang-hyun when he encounters a woman named Yoo Gil-chae. He feels deep attraction towards her and finds himself highly interested in her life. The two characters' personalities are in stark contrast to one another as Yoo Gil-chae has strong determination and will to live - something lacking in Lee Jang-hyun.

 

Yoo Gil-chae belongs to a noble family. She is famous in society for her goddess-like beauty and charm. She is even referred to as the socialite goddess. She is self-obsessed and thinks highly of herself. She believes that she can captivate any man in the world.

However, things start to change for her when she goes through a severe wartime crisis and falls truly in love with a man. When Jang-hyun and Gil-chae encounter each other, they gradually develop feelings for each other and discover the true meaning of love altogether.

 

Namgoong Min will reunite with director Kim Sung-yong for Lovers. The duo has previously worked together on the 2021 action and thriller drama The Veil. Fans are excited to see them doing another project in a different genre.

 

Namgoong Min is a well-known personality in South Korea and has been receiving a lot of love from fans for his hit dramas. He is known for his unique choice of dramas, including Awaken, Hot Stove League, The Undateables, Beautiful Gong Shim, Good Manager, and many others.

 

Meanwhile, Ahn Eun-jin is also well-known for Strangers from Hell, More Than Friends, Hospital Playlist season 2, Dark Hole, and The One and Only.

 

Namgoong Min recently starred in the highly-rated SBS drama One Dollar Lawyer, which received positive feedback from K-drama fans. Fans loved the unique storyline and OST of the drama. The actor is reportedly in talks to star as the lead in the upcoming drama Doctor Prisoner 2.

MBC has responded to a controversy regarding an extra from their upcoming drama “Lovers” (literal translation).

On May 4, MBC released a statement announcing that the actor in question would not be appearing in the drama and that they had terminated their contract with the external company providing background actors.

Warning: mentions of suicide and sexual assault.

A day prior, a mother (hereafter “A”) who lost her two daughters uploaded a YouTube video campaigning for the boycott of MBC’s upcoming drama “Lovers.” The video outlined how A’s daughter (hereafter “B”), who had been promoting as a background actress, filed a police complaint in 2004 after being sexually assaulted by 12 people, including the head of her agency and her casting manager. She added that B was further victimized by the police and threatened by the perpetrators throughout the investigation, ultimately leading to her suicide in 2009. B’s sister, who introduced her to the job, was also revealed to have committed suicide.

The video then explained that among the perpetrators was someone who had been cast as an extra in “Lovers.” According to A, a request was made for the perpetrator be taken off the project but MBC did not take any action.

Read MBC’s statement below:

This is the MBC production team. We are taking viewers’ concerns very seriously with regards to the supporting cast management company for the drama ‘Lovers.’ Currently, an external professional company for supporting actors is participating in the production of ‘Lovers’ and we’ve confirmed that the person in question has visited some [filming] sites.

As MBC takes into consideration the thoughts and concerns of viewers, following the first measure of prohibiting this person from accessing the production site, we’ve decided to terminate our contract with the [management] company immediately in order to completely rule out any possible appearances.

MBC will do our best with production until the end so that the drama ‘Lovers’ may begin its first broadcast amidst viewers’ love and interest. Thank you.

“Lovers” is MBC’s upcoming historical romance drama taking place in the Joseon Dynasty that tells the story of a man who has declared that he will not marry, falling in love with a women who still dreams of love after two failed marriages. Namgoong Min will star as Lee Jang Hyun, while Ahn Eun Jin will play his love interest Yoo Gil Chae. The drama is set to premiere in the second half of the year.

'Lovers' first broadcast confirmed on August 4.. Namgoong-min → Da-in 'heartbreaking fate' notice

 

2023062813560288607_1.jpg

 

 

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Lovers' (planned by Hong Seok-woo/directed by Kim Seong-yong/played by Hwang Jin-young), which will be broadcast for the first time on August 4, 2023, is a human history melodrama about the love of lovers and the vitality of the people who pass each other through the Manchu War. Writer Hwang Jin-young, who wrote the myth of invincibility in historical dramas through 'The Emperor's Daughter, Baek Sukhyang' and 'Rebel: The Thief Who Stole the People', and director Kim Seong-yong, who proved his powerful directing skills through 'Black Sun', collaborated to create a lineage of luxury historical dramas for MBC. It foreshadows the birth of this masterpiece.

 

In the midst of this, on the 28th, the scene of the 'Lovers' script reading was finally revealed. On this day, director Kim Seong-yong, writer Hwang Jin-young, and the production team, Namgoong-min (Lee Jang-hyeon), Ahn Eun-jin (Yoo Gil-chae), Lee Hak-joo (Nam Yeon-jun), and Lee Da-in (Kyung Eun-ae) attended the event.

 

Above all, Namgoong-min, an actor whose name alone raises expectations, shined with overwhelming enthusiasm. Lee Jang-hyeon, played by Namgoong-min, is a man who doesn't give his sincerity to anything, but opens the door to an unexpected fate after getting to know a woman. Namgoong-min perfectly expressed the male lead Lee Jang-hyun, who is extremely attractive, sometimes with intense eyes and sometimes with a delightful slyness. Namgoong-min's ability to make any character his own was met with applause at the scene. I am looking forward to the heartbreaking love that Namgoong-min, the best actor recognized by others, will draw.

 

Ahn Eun-jin's full-fledged historical drama challenge also raised her expectations. Ahn Eun-jin took on the role of Yu Gil-chae, a well-bred baby from a good family. Gil-chae Yu was originally a snobby, but a character who gradually matured after experiencing the weather of war. Based on her solid acting skills, Ahn Eun-jin added her own unique energy and charm to portray her character. Not only that, but it also raised the level of immersion by capturing delicate and deep emotional lines in the middle. Also, with Namgoong-min, he showed off a chemistry that goes beyond excitement and affection, raising expectations for this drama.

 

Lee Hak-joo's heavy presence was also impressive. Lee Hak-joo plays Nam Yeon-joon, a promising Confucian student studying at Sungkyunkwan. Nam Yeon-joon is always like an unshakable opponent. Lee Hak-joo implemented his own Nam Yeon-joon through sharp character analysis. Lee Hak-joo's strong breathing and vocalization made listeners focus on his every word. I look forward to Lee Hak-joo's 'Lovers', which shows a strong presence regardless of genre.

 

Lee Da-in enhanced the level of immersion in the play with her deeper acting. Lee Da-in plays Kyung Eun-ae, Nam Yeon-jun's fiancee and Yu Gil-chae's closest friend. Kyung Eun-ae is a mature and benevolent woman, and has a different strength and charm from Yu Gil-chae. Lee Da-in completed her Kyeongeun-ae with her sweet and soft tone, warm eyes and expression. Expectations are high for Lee Da-in's mature acting and graceful beauty through 'Her Lover'.

 

It was a script reading site full of immersion and passion. Throughout the script reading, the actors immersed themselves in their respective characters and plays without showing signs of fatigue, creating a heated atmosphere reminiscent of the actual scene. Director Kim Seong-yong and writer Hwang Jin-young consulted with the actors for each scene and put in detailed efforts. Since the perfect actors and production team came together from the first breath, 'Lovers' has no choice but to become the most anticipated work in the second half of 2023.

After experiencing an unimaginable tragedy in life, he finds nothing to be interesting, but he is strongly attracted to a woman named Yoo Gil Chae who has a strong will to live that he does not have. Namgoong Min perfectly portrayed his extremely charming character Lee Jang Hyun, impressing the audience with his ability to take any character and make it his own.

Ahn Eun Jin plays the role of Yoo Gil Chae, the daughter of a noble family who reigns as a socialite goddess with her beauty and charm. She thinks that the world revolves around her and that she can take love from any man in the world, but she gradually matures as she goes through wartime and falls in love with a man. Ahn Eun Jin portrayed the character of Yoo Gil Chae with her unique sparkling energy and charm, delicately capturing the emotional depth of the story. Through their characters, Ahn Eun Jin also shared chemistry with Namgoong Min that was both exciting and tender, raising expectations for the drama.

Lee Hak Joo plays Nam Yeon Joon, a promising Confucian student studying at Sungkyunkwan. He is a person who values becoming a kind and wise person more than anything else and has strong loyalty to the king and heartfelt love for the people. Lee Hak Joo created his own version of Nam Yeon Joon with sharp character analysis.

Lee Da In stars as Nam Yeon Joon’s fiancée and Yoo Gil Chae’s closest friend Kyung Eun Ae. Kyung Eun Ae is a wise and benevolent woman who sees the bright side of the world. Despite going through many ups and downs in life, she maintains her love and faith for Nam Yeon Joon. Lee Da In completed Kyung Eun Ae with her friendly and soft tone, warm eyes, and facial expressions.

'Lovers' Namgoong-min and Ahn Eun-jin, a heartfelt love that can't be reached... Nostalgic emotion teaser poster

 

202307050853503704_l.jpg

 

'Lovers' Namgoong-min and Ahn Eun-jin's affectionate love begins.

 

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 'Lovers' (Plan Seok-Woo Hong/Director Sung-Yong Kim/Screenwriter Jin-Young Hwang), which confirmed its first broadcast on August 4, is a human history melodrama about the love of lovers and the vitality of the people who pass each other through the Manchu War. Writer Hwang Jin-young of 'Climax', 'The Emperor's Daughter, Baek Sukhyang' and 'Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People' and director Kim Seong-yong of 'Black Sun' are foreshadowing the birth of another MBC historical drama.

 

In the midst of this, the 'lover' finally takes off the first veil and draws attention. About a month before the broadcast, the teaser poster for 'Lovers' was released for the first time.

 

The teaser poster for "Lovers" features the male and female protagonists Namgoong-min (who plays Lee Jang-hyeon) and Ahn Eun-jin ( Yoo Gil-chae) facing each other against the backdrop of the sea. In the play, Lee Jang-hyeon and Yu Gil-chae fall in love with each other in the midst of the weather of war. As shown, the distance between the two in the teaser poster is a bit far. Even so, the appearance of two people who only look at each other is beautiful to the heart.

 

What put emphasis on such a heartfelt emotional line is the copy of 'Lovers who missed and loved so much'. Despite the composition where the actors' expressions and eyes are not visible, I am more curious about how the sad love story will be portrayed in this drama by the 'lover' who has completed such a faint sensibility.

 

In this regard, the production team of 'Lovers' said, "We are looking forward to the day when all the actors and crew of 'Lovers', including the four main characters Namgoong-min, Ahn Eun-jin, Lee Hak-joo (Nam Yeon-jun), and Lee Da-in (Kyung Eun-ae), will meet viewers and do their best. I am filming with all my heart," he said. "I would like to ask for your interest and expectation for the heartbreaking love story that will capture your hearts in the second half of 2023, and the delicate and elegant acting of Namgoong-min and Ahn Eun-jin, who will portray it."

Namgoong Min And Ahn Eun Jin’s Upcoming Historical Drama Unveils Poster + Confirms Premiere Date

 

Namgoong Min And Ahn Eun Jin’s Upcoming Historical Drama Unveils Poster + Confirms Premiere Date

 

MBC’s upcoming drama “Lovers” (literal translation) has released a poster of Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin!

 

Set in the Joseon dynasty, “Lovers” is a historical romance drama about the love story between and a man who has declared that he will not marry and a woman who dreams of finding love again even after two failed marriages.

 

Namgoong Min stars as Lee Jang Hyun, a mysterious man who suddenly appears in Neunggeun Village’s high society one day. After experiencing an unimaginable tragedy, he no longer finds anything interesting in life, but he is strongly attracted to a woman named Yoo Gil Chae, who has a strong will to live that he does not have.

 

Ahn Eun Jin plays the role of Yoo Gil Chae, the daughter of a noble family, who reigns as a socialite goddess with her beauty and charm. She thinks that the world revolves around her, but she gradually matures as she goes through wartime and falls in love.

 

The newly released poster, which bears the caption “A lover whom I missed and loved dearly,” captures Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae facing each other against the backdrop of the ocean. The distance between them seemingly illustrates that the two cannot be together after falling in love during wartime, raising anticipation for how their love story will unfold.

You can look forward to seeing the delicate and elegant performances of Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin as they portray a tender love story that will capture your heart in the second half of 2023.”
