Moms_Friends_Son-SM1.jpg

Jung Hae-In is cast for the lead male role in tvN drama series “Mom’s Friend’s Son” (literal title). The drama series is a romantic-comedy and pairs director Yoo Je-Won and screenwriter Shin Ha-Eun, whom previously worked together in 2021 tvN drama series “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.” Meanwhile, actress Jung So-Min has been offered the lead female role and she is currently considering the offer. In “Mom’s Friend’s Son,” Jung Hae-In will play Choi Seung-Hyo. He grew up with a girl named Bae Seok-Ryu, because his mom was good friends with her mom. They meet as adults.

“Mom’s Friend’s Son” will air sometime during the second half of 2024 in South Korea.

Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki: Choi Seung-Hyo (Jung Hae-In) is the most noteworthy young architect in Korea and he runs the architecture atelier “In.” Not only is he nearly perfect as an architect, but he is also very attractive and has a great personality. Yet, Choi Seung-Hyo has experienced moments that he wants to erase from his life. Those moments usually involve Bae Seok-Ryu. When they were 4 years old, their moms became friends. Because of their moms, Choi Seung-Hyo and Bae Seok-Ryu spent a lot of time together like bathing together at a women’s bathhouse. Now, Choi Seung-Hyo meets Bae Seok-Ryu as adults.

While growing up, Bae Seok-Ryu’s life was smooth sailing. During her school days, she never missed ranking first academically at her school. She was always passionate and energetic with things she did. After graduating from a university, she got hired by a large company. She worked hard as a project manager, but, for some reason, she quit her job. She has been unemployed since then. She meets Choi Seung-Hyo.

Jung Hae-in (D.P. 2) confirmed casting for tvN’s rom-com Mom’s Friend’s Son, playing the classic, swoon-worthy CEO. The only smear to his name, of course, is some past childhood incident involving our heroine – potentially played by Jung So-min (Alchemy of Souls). Filming is set to begin early next year, with plans to broadcast in the latter half of 2024. [News1]

Jung So-min confirmed to appear in ‘Mom’s Friend’s Son’… Romance with Jung Hae-in [Official Statement]

[XPORT NEWS]
Jung So-min of 'Mom's Friend's Son' meets Jung Hae-in as 'childhood boy and girl(?)'. 


tvN's new drama 'Mom's Friend's Son', which is scheduled to air for the first time in 2024, is a turbulent romance around the neighborhood between a woman trying to reboot her flawed life and her living dark history, 'Mom's Friend's Son'. The story that unfolds when Choi Seung-hyo (Jung Hae-in) and Bae Seok-ryu (Jung So-min), 'childhood men and women' who record each other's dark history, reunite at the crossroads of youth provides pleasant laughter, warm empathy, and excitement. 

Anticipation is also high for the reunion of the trustworthy production team. The fact that it is the next film of director Yoo Je-won, who has had successive successes from 'Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha' to 'Ilta Scandal', also attracts attention. In particular, the reunion with writer Shin Ha-eun of the much-loved 'Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha' further stimulates the expectations of drama fans. I'm already looking forward to seeing what kind of sympathy it will give with this delightful, warm, and realistic romance. 

Above all, following Jung Hae-in, Jung So-min has been confirmed to be cast and is garnering attention. Jung So-min plays Seok-ryu Bae, a broken-hearted mother who wants to reboot her life. Bae Pomegranate is full of energy and honest. She is truly a ‘tough daughter’ who has never been in a bad mood. She was thriving as a project manager at a large global company called God's workplace, but one day she suddenly had a major breakdown. Expectations are also high for the chemistry between Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min, who will portray the dynamic daily lives of a 'close daughter' and a 'close daughter' who have seen everything they can between love and friendship. 

Jeong So-min said, “It is truly an honor to meet a work that warms my heart and resonates with me. I am looking forward to seeing the author's work even more. “I will meet the director happily and in good shape based on trust with his second work.”

 

tvN's new drama 'Mom's Friend's Son' is scheduled to air in 2024.

Romance between Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min… 'Mom's Friend's Son' begins lineup revealed

Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min meet through 'Mom's Friend's Son'. 
 

[MK NEWS]

Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min meet through 'Mom's Friend's Son'. 

tvN's new drama 'Mom's Friend's Son' (directed by Yoo Je-won, written by Shin Ha-eun, produced by Studio Dragon and The Modori), scheduled to be broadcast for the first time in 2024, is a turbulent story between a woman trying to reboot her flawed life and her living dark history, 'Mom's Friend's Son'. It's a romance around the neighborhood. 

The story that unfolds when Choi Seung-hyo (played by Jung Hae-in) and Bae Seok-ryu (played by Jung So-min), 'childhood men and women' who record each other's dark history, reunite at the crossroads of youth provides pleasant laughter, warm empathy, and excitement.

Anticipation is also high for the reunion of the trustworthy production team. The fact that it is the next film of director Yoo Je-won, who has had successive successes from 'Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha' to 'Ilta Scandal', is attracting attention. In particular, the reunion with author Shin Ha-eun of the much-loved 'Seaside Village Cha Cha Cha' stimulates anticipation. I look forward to seeing what kind of warm sympathy and excitement it will bring with a romance that is closely tied to reality. 

Above all, the tight lineup heats up expectations even more. Following the casting news of Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min, which attracted attention, Kim Ji-eun and Yoon Ji-on joined to lead another axis of youth romance. Park Ji-young, Jo Han-cheol, Jang Young-nam, Lee Seung-jun, Kim Geum-soon, and Han Ye-ju richly depict the colorful stories of the friendly and unique people of Hyereung-dong. In addition, Jeon Seok-ho, Lee Seung-hyeop, and Shim So-young, who are responsible for the laughter, join in to depict a romance in a turbulent neighborhood in a more pleasant way.

 

First, Jung Hae-in transforms into ‘Choi Seung-hyo,’ the warm-hearted son of his mother’s friend. Choi Seung-hyo, a young architect who is attracting attention and the representative of Atelier 'IN', is loved by everyone for not only his skills but also his appearance and personality. The only dark history in his life is Bae Seok-ryu. As Bae Seok-ryu returns to his peaceful daily life, a dangerous bug arises in his life. 

Jung So-min plays Bae Pomegranate, a broken mother's daughter who wants to reboot her life. Bae Seok-ryu, who is full of energy and honest, is truly a ‘tough daughter’ who has never failed to show off. He was thriving as a product manager at a global conglomerate, known as God's workplace, but one day he suddenly had a major breakdown. Expectations are focused on the chemistry between Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min, who will portray the dynamic daily lives of 'a great daughter' and 'a great daughter' who have faced every conflict between love and friendship.

Attention is also focused on the youthful synergy between Kim Ji-eun and Yoon Ji-on. Ji-eun Kim plays ‘Mom Jeong’, a 119 paramedic who believes that the hero’s DNA flows within her body. He started out as a Spider-Man fanatic and became a real-life hero, taking pride in saving people's lives. He grew up with Choi Seung-hyo and Bae Seok-ryu as the Three Musketeers and knows their dark history better than anyone else. Ji-on Yoon plays the role of Dan-ho Kang, a field-first reporter who only pursues facts. He, who has a strong sense of faith and responsibility, faces unexpected changes when he moves next door to Jeong Mo-eum, whose thinking circuit is unpredictable.


Park Ji-young, who has a strong inner strength, transforms into Bae Seok-ryu's mother, Na Mi-sook, who has a blunt and bossy personality and a strong vitality, showing Jung So-min and her real-life mother and daughter. Versatile actor Jo Han-cheol takes on the role of Bae Geun-sik, the father of Bae Seok-ryu, who runs a small snack bar in the neighborhood. Jang Young-nam plays the role of Seo Hye-sook, the African head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the mother of Choi Seung-hyo, who loves her work. Tikitaka, the rivalry between two very different mothers, 'Nami-sook' and 'Seo Hye-sook', is expected to provide another fun experience. Lee Seung-jun, who has outstanding acting skills, plays the role of Choi Gyeong-jong, an emergency medicine professor and Choi Seung-hyo's father, and brings warmth with his 'foolish son' aspect. 

In addition, Jeon Seok-ho, Kim Geum-soon, Han Ye-joo, Lee Seung-hyeop, and Shim So-young join in, raising expectations for even more fun. Jeon Seok-ho, who has exuded his own unique presence through strong acting, adds pleasant laughter by playing the role of 'Yoon Myeong-woo', co-representative of the architectural atelier 'In' and Choi Seung-hyo's college senior. ‘Do Jae-sook’, the mother of local troubleshooter Jeong Mo-eum, and ‘Bang In-sook’, who is full of girlish emotions but has a lot of inner anger, are played by talented actors Kim Geum-soon and Han Ye-joo. The strong chemistry of the ‘Ssuk Sisters’, which leads to Mi-sook, Hye-suk, Jae-suk, and In-sook, stimulates curiosity. Lee Seung-hyeop plays Bae Dong-jin, Bae Seok-ryu's younger brother who dreams of becoming a health trainer, and Shim So-young transforms and revitalizes Na-yoon Lee, an employee at the architectural atelier 'In' who has a crush on Choi Seung-hyo. 

The production team of 'Mom's Friend's Son' said, "'Mom's Friend's Son' captures love, friendship, and family love against the backdrop of a friendly neighborhood called 'Hyereung-dong'. We look forward to the synergy of trustworthy actors who will complete a warm and pleasant romance full of turbulence around the neighborhood." “Please give it to me,” he said. 

tvN's new drama 'Mom's Friend's Son' is scheduled to air in 2024.
