Destined With You: SF9’s Rowoon, Jo Bo Ah and others display chemistry during script reading session

JTBC released the script reading session for upcoming fantasy romance drama Destined With You starring SF9 member Rowoon, Jo Bo Ah and others. Read ahead to know more.

Written by Anoushka Mathew Published on Jul 07, 2023   |  03:12 PM IST  |  51.8K
 
698571995_destinedwithyou.jpg
 
The romance in Destined With You is irresistible and attracts the characters like fate. During the table read, director Nam Ki Hoon, writer Noh Ji Sul, and prominent actors like Jo Bo Ah, SF9's Rowoon, Ha Jun, Yura, Song Young Gyu, Jung Hye Young, Lee Pil Mo, Lee Bon Ryun, Hyun Bong Sik, Mi Ram, Park Kyung Hye, and Lee Tae Ri exhibit remarkable chemistry and harmony. 
 
Jo Bo Ah, a civil complaint solver at the city hall in Wenju, transformed into Lee Hong Jo, a greenery department official, after encountering Jang Shin Yu's curse. Lee Hong Jo is a person who is used to being by herself, even though she always puts in her best effort despite having unimaginable amounts of complaints. She suddenly acquires the wooden box and the key to breaking Jang Shin Yu's curse. Rowoon assumed the job of Jang Shin Yu, a pro legal advisor hanging tight for the 'proprietor of the wooden box' to lift the revile. He has increased his talent by delicately portraying the upheaval of Jang Shin Yu, who has an unexpected relationship with Lee Hong Jo, the owner of the wooden box, in an effort to lift the curse that has been passed down through the family. Particularly, his acting skills make Shin Yu's attractive height and beauty shine through.
 
Ha Joon gave himself more energy by changing into Kwon Jae Kyung, who Lee Hong Jo has a crush on and makes everyone at the Wenju city hall envious. Kwon Jae Kyung is a person who rarely reveals his true feelings because he covers up the scars from his past with a sweet smile. By acting as Kwon Jae Kyung, who is going through a change of heart, as Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu, who appear to be in no contact, get closer, he created tension. Jo Bo Ah's interlude between the subtle nerves and chemistry war with Rowoon also added to the fun. As Jang Shin Yu's girlfriend, Yoon Na Yeon, who is a character who begins to reveal her true nature, which has been suppressed for a long time by Jang Shin Yu's special interest in Lee Hong Jo, whom she had previously bullied, actress Yura, who possesses a unique charm, emanated her presence.

Watch: Jo Bo Ah Is Taken Aback By Rowoon’s Advances In “Destined With You” Teaser

Jo Bo Ah and Rowoon are intertwined in mysterious ways in JTBC’s upcoming drama “Destined With You”!

“Destined With You” is a fantasy romance which will tell the love story of civil servant Lee Hong Jo (Jo Bo Ah) who obtains a forbidden book sealed 300 years ago and ace lawyer Jang Shin Yu (SF9’s Rowoon) who becomes a victim of the forbidden book. The drama will be penned by “100 Days My Prince” writer No Ji Sul and helmed by director Nam Ki Hoon of “Oh My Baby” and “Voice 3.”

In the newly released second teaser, the mysterious forbidden book is opened from its seal along with the narration, “The curse and pain will end since the owner of the old wooden box has appeared,” previewing a change in Jang Shin Yu’s fate.

During an exchange between Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu, Lee Hong Jo states, “What are you saying? I don’t believe in things like that at all.” However, when Jang Shin Yu asks, “What about curses?” Lee Hong Jo hesitates and admits that she believes in them.

Jang Shin Yu smoothly remarks, “Take responsibility for lighting up my heart,” as he continues to make advances on Lee Hong Jo, even leaning in close despite Lee Hong Jo trying to avoid him at all costs. Lee Hong Jo asks, “Really, why are you acting like this to me?” and Jang Shin Yu responds with a smile, “Because I want to make a good impression.”

A curse and a romance await Jo Boa and Kim Ro-woon

by stroopwafel

If you’ve been hankering for a light, fun watch this summer, JTBC’s new fantasy rom-com Destined With You may be your drama. The latest teaser spotlights our two leads, Jo Boa (Military Prosecutor Doberman) and Kim Ro-woon (Tomorrow), and gives us a peek of their bickering, playful energy. Though not in the teaser, Ha Joon (Missing: The Other Side 2) and Yura (Forecasting Love and Weather) will also be joining the show as supporting leads.

 

Jo Boa plays Lee Hong-jo, a low-ranking civil servant whose days are filled with complaints — literally — as her job revolves around answering complaints filed with the city. She’s accustomed to being on her own and her life isn’t exactly filled with excitement — until one day she ends up owning a wooden chest. It’s not just any old chest though; by taking ownership of the chest she also becomes the key to breaking a centuries-old curse.

Kim Ro-woon will play the cursed Jang Shin-yu. It’s actually his entire family that’s been afflicted by this curse, and he’s just this generation’s sacrificial lamb. By all appearances he has a wonderful life as an ace attorney who’s always the center of attention, but his family’s curse manifests itself as a strange illness that can’t be cured. When his illness suddenly becomes worse, he seeks out Hong-jo for her help in lifting the curse.

 

The video starts with Shin-yu kneeling as he solemnly intones, “My pain and the curse are ended. The owner of the wooden box has appeared.” Shin-yu and Hong-jo face each other with Shin-yu clasping his hands over his heart and Hong-jo holding up a piece of paper that burns in her hand. It’s all very dreamy, and Hong-jo cuts in to pish-posh it all: “What are you talking about? I don’t believe in crap like that. At. All.” Shin-yu’s still serious and he asks, “What about curses?”

Curses, she does believe in lol. Shin-yu explains to her that he’s cursed: “Take responsibilty. You turned on the light in my heart. Twinkle, twinkle.” Shin-yu proceeds to pop up all over the place; wherever Hong-jo is, Shin-yu makes it his business to be there while looking exceedingly pleased with himself and taken with Hong-jo.

Hong-jo, on the other hand, is decidedly annoyed by her new, gigantic shadow. Fed up, she asks him, “Seriously, why are you being like this?” The teaser ends with a close-up of Shin-yu giving a little smile, “I’m trying to make a good impression.”

I’m digging this pairing and entire setup! I keep trying to work out how exactly this chest and curse ties in with the romance part of the story. Not trying to insert too much logic into the fantasy yet, I guess I’m just trying to figure out if this is like a genie’s lamp situation. Except instead of a lamp and a genie, you end up with a chest and a Ro-woon (not a bad deal if you ask me).

Directed by PD Nam Ki-hoon (Big Bet, Kiss Sixth Sense) with scripts by Noh Ji-seol (100 Days My Prince), Destined With You will premiere August 23 on JTBC.

The text that reads, “Shall we be each other’s destiny?” arouses viewers’ curiosity about Jang Shin Yu and Lee Hong Jo’s relationship, which has been going on for more than 300 years as “the sacrificial lamb of the forbidden book” and “the owner of the wooden box who can lift the curse.”

On August 1st, the production unveiled the main poster, capturing the mysterious and dreamy atmosphere of Lee Hong Jo (played by Jo Bo Ah) and Jang Shin Yu (played by Rowoon) under the moonlight. Viewers are curious to know what story their destined bond from a past life will tell. JTBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama Destined With You (written by Noh Ji Sul and directed by Nam Ki Hoon) is set to have its premiere on August 23rd at 10:30 PM KST.

Destined With You is an inescapable romance between a low-ranking civil servant, Lee Hong Jo, who comes into possession of a book that was strictly sealed away 300 years ago, and Jang Shin Yu, a lawyer who becomes the sacrifice for that book. The sweet and delightful romance that begins with the two irresistibly drawn to an unavoidable destiny will awaken the viewers' fluttering hearts.

The main poster intensifies curiosity about the destined tale of Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu entangled in their past life. Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu stand beneath the mystical 'Pink Moon.' The moonlight surrounding them creates a dreamy atmosphere. Lee Hong Jo holds a page of the burning book, and Jang Shin Yu is surrounded by numerous lights, a fascinating sight. The peculiar atmosphere, with an old wooden boat visible amidst lush vegetation and candles and bowls placed on red silk, adds more mystery.

The phrase "Shall we do fate?" ignites curiosity about the relationship between Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu, which has continued for 300 years. What is the curse that falls upon Jang Shin Yu as the "sacrifice for the book," and what kind of destiny is entwined with Lee Hong Jo, the "owner of the boat," who can break that curse?

Jo Bo Ah will portray Lee Hong Jo, a 9th-grade civil servant and a problem solver for the citizens' complaints. Despite being overwhelmed by unimaginable complaints, she always does her best but remains introverted. Unexpectedly, she becomes the "owner of the book," holding the key to break Jang Shin Yu's curse. The sudden transformation of the ordinary low-ranking civil servant, Lee Hong Jo, into the owner of the book, leaves viewers wondering why and how this happened.

The production team of Destined With You stated, "The heartwarming and destined romance, along with the delightful and sweet inescapable romance, will provide a different kind of entertainment. Jo Bo Ah and Rowoon's synergy in portraying Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu's destined tale is highly anticipated.

Under the cherry blossoms, current life's Rowoon, previous life's Jo Bo-ah... Fateful, vague romance ('This love is irresistible')

BF.34138508.1.jpg

 

Jo Bo-ah and Rowoon draw a fateful romance tangled in their previous lives.

On the 3rd, JTBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'This Love Is Irresistible' released the third teaser video of Lee Hong-jo (played by Jo Bo-ah) and Jang Shin-yu (played by Rowoon), who are approaching each other as if they were guided by fate.

'This Love Is Force Majeure' is an irresistible romance between Hongjo Lee, a low-level civil servant who obtained a forbidden book that was thoroughly sealed 300 years ago, and Shinyu Jang, a lawyer who fell victim to the forbidden book. A sweet and delightful romance that began with the earnest wishes of a man and a woman caught up in an irresistible fate awakens the excitement of viewers.

In the third teaser video released, the past and present lives of Lee Hong-jo and Jang Shin-yu intersect, creating a sense of nostalgia. Lee Hong-jo of the previous life, connected to Jang Shin-yu's deep eyes looking at the profuse cherry blossoms. In response to Jang Shin-yu's question, "You don't know what's going to happen to you," Lee Hong-jo replies, "You don't even know, Jang Shin-yu." However, Jang Shin-yu's confident answer, "I can know. Because I will," makes me more curious about the relationship between the two people who connect the previous life and the present life.

The appearance of Lee Hong-jo and Jang Shin-yu looking at each other as if time has stopped among crowded people stimulates heartbreaking excitement. One day over 300 years ago, Lee Hong-jo's sad voice, "I've seen the future. I have no place by your side," and Jang Shin-yu's earnest confession, "Let's run away, anywhere, anywhere" makes us guess the heartbreaking story hidden between them. Indeed, it stimulates curiosity about what kind of fate the two are intertwined with.

Lee Hong-jo, played by Jo Bo-ah, is a civil complaint solver at the Wenju City Hall and a 9th-grade civil servant who will solve the curse of Jang Shin-yu. Lee Hong-jo, who always does her best despite suffering from complaints beyond imagination, is a person who is used to being alone. As she becomes the owner of an old wooden box out of nowhere, she holds the key to unlocking Jang Shinyu's curse. Rowoon took on the role of Jang Shin-yu, an ace lawyer waiting for the owner of the wooden box to lift the curse passed down through the family. He is a straight man who smells like a well-dried linen shirt in the clear autumn sun, and is in the spotlight wherever he is. As the disease of unknown cause becomes severe, he seeks help from Lee Hong-jo, the owner of the wooden box, and faces an unexpected upheaval.

'This Love Is Irresistible' will premiere on the 23rd.
