DNA Lover drops actress Jung In Sun's stills.

DNA Lover follows genetic researcher Han So Jin, who strives to find her match through genetics. 

Jung In Sun takes on the role of Han So Jin, a researcher at a gene center who is obsessed with finding her perfect genetic match. She is a highly skilled researcher specializing in molecular biology, studying and treating various diseases. She believes that genes can even reveal destiny and will lead her to her suitable match.

Jung In Sun expressed her thoughts, saying, "The theme [of the K-drama], which centered around DNA, was intriguing. When I was young, the blood type theory was popular, and these days MBTI is trending. Also, from zodiac signs to fortune-telling, people have consistently been interested in finding similarities and differences between themselves and others. I, too, was one of those who were overly immersed in those theories every time they became a trend. Above all, the story of [the character] understanding herself through her DNA and finding a suitable partner was very appealing."

She continued, "So Jin's thoughts and actions are somewhat eccentric but she's a character with immense passion. I even burst out laughing while reading the scenarios and dialogues in the script. There were many things that naturally came to mind as I read, and among them, the passionate character living in a world full of DNA was the one I most wanted to portray."

DNA Lover will premiere on August 17. The K-drama will be streaming on Viki.

Jung In-sun’s two candidates for her DNA Lover

by solstices

 

Sparks are flying in the latest teaser for TV Chosun’s upcoming rom-com DNA Lover, as our leading lady finds herself drawn to two equally swoony men. Just which one is her ideal partner, and will she be able to determine the correct answer?

“My DNA lover, who’s designed to love me,” our heroine Jung In-sun (Grand Shining Hotel) muses wistfully. As the gene researcher Han So-jin, her professional expertise and her idealistic dreams intersect in a peculiar core belief — that there exists a perfect, destined romantic match to her DNA.

 

But who could that possibly be? There’s Choi Siwon (Death’s Game) as the OB-GYN Shim Yeon-woo, who gently affixes a hairpin to So-jin’s unruly curls. Then there’s the young firefighter Seo Kang-hoon — played by Lee Tae-hwan (Thirty-Nine) — who gets his adorable cheeks squished between So-jin’s palms. (Cue a tiny hiccup from the startled Kang-hoon, hee.)

It doesn’t take long for our two candidates to recognize that they’re in the midst of a love triangle, and they wind up glaring at each other over a camping site. While reaching out to feed So-jin a slice of meat, Yeon-woo cuts straight to the chase: “Kang-hoon, you like So-jin, right?” In response, Kang-hoon eats the food straight off Yeon-woo’s chopsticks. Ha, So-jin and Yeon-woo’s looks of incredulous disbelief are absolutely priceless.

Seemingly orchestrated by fate, Yeon-woo just so happens to be there when So-jin needs him, helping her up after she falls on a twisted ankle. But if you thought it’d lead straight to swoony butterflies, think again, because here’s where the comedy comes in. Not only does So-jin unabashedly lean across Yeon-woo’s office desk, but she also astonishes him with a loud yelp right in his face. Not your typical heroine, this one.

As for Kang-hoon, he’s taking this rivalry very seriously. “So-jin noona will end up with a good man,” Kang-hoon declares to Yeon-woo. “I’ll make sure she doesn’t date you, hyung!” Perhaps a little misguided, but his puppy-like devotion is quite endearing — Kang-hoon’s so smitten he can’t stop daydreaming about his pretty noona who buys him food.

Refusing to admit defeat, Yeon-woo begins his courtship efforts anew, showing up at her classroom door with a bouquet of fresh flowers. “It’s as if he’s suddenly acting like a different person,” a bewildered So-jin comments, “making me flustered and all.” To further complicate matters, Jung Yoo-jin (Celebrity) enters the picture as the polyamory columnist Jang Mi-eun, who seems to still harbor feelings for her ex Yeon-woo. With both our leads torn between two choices, will their DNA connection win out? (Or maybe Mi-eun could convince them all into a best-of-both-worlds polycule? Hey, a girl can dream.)

Directed by PD Sung Chi-wook (Tomorrow) with scripts written by Jung Su-mi (Born Again), DNA Lover premieres next month on August 17.

Jung In Sun is about to transform into a sloppy drunk in TV Chosun’s upcoming drama “DNA Lover”!

“DNA Lover” is a new romantic comedy starring Jung In Sun as Han So Jin, a genetic researcher who has been through countless failed relationships. As she searches for her destined partner through genes, she winds up becoming entangled with sensitive obstetrician Shim Yeon Woo (played by Super Junior’s Choi Siwon).

In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, Han So Jin causes a scene after having way too many drinks. Intoxicated and barely able to keep her eyes open, Han So Jin begins rambling loudly with a drink and empty bottle in her hand, raising the question of what could have made her upset enough to get this drunk.

Describing her approach to her role, Jung In Sun shared, “I really wanted to try portraying [this character] in a way that’s more extreme than what I’ve done up until now. First, I wanted to make a transformation in terms of my appearance, so I cut my long hair and added curls and baby hairs. In order to depict [Han So Jin’s] bubbly and lively energy, I chose makeup colors that were different from the tones I’ve typically used in the past, and style-wise, I expressed the character’s passion through bold patterns in primary colors.”

“After creating her look, I gained more courage to portray Han So Jin’s daring actions and her passion in searching for love,” continued the actress.

Meanwhile, the drama’s production team praised Jung In Sun’s performance by declaring, “We’re confident that Jung In Sun, who impressed everyone on set with her unique energy and determination, will make viewers fall deeply for the charms of Han So Jin in ‘DNA Lover.’”

“DNA Lover” will premiere on August 17 at 9:10 p.m. KST.

3 Compelling Reasons To Tune In To "DNA Lover"

Jul 29, 2024

TV Chosun’s “DNA Lover” has revealed key highlights to watch for!

“DNA Lover” is a new romantic comedy starring Jung In Sun as Han So Jin, a genetic researcher who has been through countless failed relationships. As she searches for her destined partner through genes, she winds up becoming entangled with sensitive obstetrician Shim Yeon Woo (Super Junior’s Choi Siwon).

Before its premiere, “DNA Lover” unveiled three reasons to look forward to the drama!

Breaking the traditional with “DNA Lover”

dna-lover-1-1-1.jpeg

 

“DNA Lover” is an engaging romantic comedy with a unique twist: it suggests that DNA reveals the secrets of fate and love. This new series represents a major expansion of the TV Chosun drama universe, breaking traditional genre and generational barriers. TV Chosun has already shown its versatility with popular family dramas such as “Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce)” Seasons 1 through 3, “Uncle,” and “Red Balloon” as well as fantasy romance drama “Durian’s Affair” and the psychological thriller “My Happy Ending.” With “DNA Lover,” TV Chosun aims to offer a fresh romantic comedy that connects with viewers across generations and evokes deep emotional responses.

The unique concept of fantasy-inspired romantic comedy

dna-lover-2.jpeg

 

“DNA Lover” redefines the romance genre with its imaginative concept that DNA shapes fate. This new take on romantic comedies sets itself apart with a distinctive approach. The series contrasts the cynical Shim Yeon Woo, who dismisses the idea of fate, with Han So Jin, a firm believer in DNA’s role in destiny. Their differing views on love drive the plot, offering a blend of surprising twists and humor.

Director Sung Chi Wook enhances the show’s visual appeal with vibrant CGI (computer-generated imagery) and special effects that bring the concept of DNA to life. This dynamic visual style creates a unique experience for viewers. The series also impresses with its beautiful settings and witty dialogue, heightening anticipation for this engaging romantic comedy.

The cast’s acting transformation

DNA-Lover-1.jpeg

 

Actors Choi Siwon, Jung In Sun, Lee Tae Hwan, and Jung Yoo Jin take on transformative roles in “DNA Lover,” creating dynamic on-screen synergy. Choi Siwon stars as Shim Yeon Woo, a gruff yet caring obstetrician, making a strong return to romantic comedy. Jung In Sun plays Han So Jin, an enthusiastic researcher who undergoes a dramatic makeover.

Lee Tae Hwan, making his return to acting after military service, plays Seo Kang Hoon, a dedicated and attractive firefighter who remains committed in both love and work. Jung Yoo Jin takes on the role of Jang Mi Eun, a relationship columnist whose portrayal of polyamory and non-exclusive dating adds depth and intrigue to the series.

The production team said, “TV Chosun dramas have always pushed boundaries, and this will be their first foray into romantic comedy. Viewers can expect a fresh and innovative take on the genre.” They added, “TV Chosun’s romantic comedy will offer a unique and novel approach, opening up a new world of romantic comedies.”

“DNA Lover” will premiere on August 17 at 9:10 p.m. KST.

Choi Siwon has delved into his emotionally complex role in TV Chosun’s upcoming drama “DNA Lover”!

Praising his dedication to bringing Seo Kang Hoon to life, the “DNA Lover” production team remarked, “Lee Tae Hwan, who had never played a firefighter before, poured his all into portraying the character of Seo Kang Hoon in a realistic way. Please look forward to Lee Tae Hwan’s impressive transformation, which will thoroughly reveal his hidden charms that viewers haven’t had a chance to see yet.”

Choi Siwon, Jung In Sun, Lee Tae Hwan, And Jung Yoo Jin Showcase Their Unique Charms In New "DNA Lover" Poster

TV Chosun’s upcoming weekend drama “DNA Lover” has unveiled a new poster!

 

“DNA Lover” is a romantic comedy starring Jung In Sun as Han So Jin, a genetic researcher who has been through countless failed relationships. As she searches for her destined partner through genes, she winds up becoming entangled with sensitive obstetrician Shim Yeon Woo (Super Junior’s Choi Siwon).

 

The newly released poster features the four main characters set against a pastel-toned background, each captured with poses and expressions that reflect their unique personalities.

 

The first character depicted in the poster is obstetrician Shim Yeon Woo, whose charm is highlighted by his soft gaze and subtle smile. Although Shim Yeon Woo is intensely affectionate while dating someone, that loving nature contrasts sharply with his cold demeanor when ending relationships.

 

Han So Jin showcases her endearing qualities in the poster, with her bright smile and playful pose emphasizing her innocent personality as a quirky scientist.

 

Meanwhile, Seo Kang Hoon (Lee Tae Hwan) radiates a vibrant energy with his trustworthy gaze and gentle expression.

 

In contrast to the others, Jang Mi Eun (Jung Yoo Jin) looks off to the side with one hand reaching outward, reflecting her liberal personality as a polyamorous character.
