Watch: Lee Se Young And Sakaguchi Kentaro Test Their Chemistry At Script Reading For New Drama “What Comes After Love”

 

Coupang Play’s upcoming drama “What Comes After Love” has shared a glimpse of its first table read!

 

“What Comes After Love” is a new romance drama based on the bestselling joint novel by Korean writer Gong Ji Young and Japanese writer Tsuji Hitonari. The novel tells the love story of a Korean woman and a Japanese man who meet and fall in love in Japan, then reunite in Korea five years after their breakup.

 

Lee Se Young will star as female lead Hong, who falls in love with male lead Jungo (played by Japanese actor Sakaguchi Kentaro) while studying abroad in Japan.

 

At the first script reading for the upcoming drama, Lee Se Young is said to have masterfully disappeared into the role of Hong, pulling off the character’s emotional dialogue with ease. Sakaguchi Kentaro similarly transformed into Jungo, inspiring empathy in those present by skillfully capturing the character’s melancholy feelings.

 

 

Hong Jong Hyun also impressed with his performance as the pitiable Min Joon, while Nakamura Anne successfully portrayed the complex emotions of her character Kanna.

 

 

“What Comes After Love,” which has already begun filming, is scheduled to premiere within the year.

 

In the meantime, check out a video from the drama’s script reading below!

Yearning and cross-cultural romance in What Comes After Love

by Jenzy

 

The script reading stills for Coupang Play’s upcoming romance drama What Comes After Love are out, spotlighting our Korean-Japanese pair of Lee Se-young (The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract) and Sakaguchi Kentaro (Sayonara no Tsuzuki) as they navigate life after their world-shattering breakup.

While there isn’t a ton of drama-specific plot info yet, the original plot of the novel written by Gong Ji-young and Tsuji Hitonari centers around our two leads and covers their love, loss, and potential reunion as they meet across their two countries.

 

When our pair first met, Choi Hong (Lee Se-young) was a bright-eyed study abroad student in Japan and Aoki Jungo (Sakaguchi Kentaro) was an aspiring novelist trying to catch his big break. The two fell in love, but couldn’t make their relationship last, culminating in a breakup that left Hong full of scars and Jungo full of regret. Seven years later, Hong has now become a big-shot director at a publishing company back in Korea and has done everything she can to put Jungo behind her.

Meanwhile, Jungo has also built a name for himself as a successful author, but unlike Hong, he’s still hung up over how things ended between them — so much so that his breakout novel was based on their relationship. And just his luck — a business trip has him coming to Korea where he is able to reunite with his ex after all this time.

But patching things up between our leads won’t be easy. Not only will they have to confront the reasons behind their breakup, alongside their looming cultural differences, they will have to deal with the other two members of this novel’s love square: Hong Jong-hyun (Race), Hong’s longtime friend who’s nursed a 15-year crush, and Nakamura Anne (One Day: Seiya no kara Sawagi), Jungo’s ex-girlfriend and editor of his books.

Besides the second-chance romance that already has me onboard, the collaborative nature of the production between Korean and Japanese talent is really exciting, and I’m curious to see how they explore the undercurrent of tension between the two nations that still exists today. If done well, this drama has a great opportunity to thread that needle between the two cultures and open up dialogue about Korean-Japanese history and present-day relations.

Directed by Moon Hyun-sung (Seoul Vibe) with the screenplay adapted by Jung Hae-shim, What Comes After Love is slated to release on Coupang Play sometime this year.
