ENA’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama “Brewing Love” (also known as “Drunk Romance”) is gearing up for its premiere!

On September 12, ENA released photos and a video clip of “Brewing Love” cast members from their script reading. Director Park Seon Ho, writer Lee Jung Shin, and trusted actors including Kim Sejeong, Lee Jong Won, Shin Do Hyun, and Baek Sung Chul attended the script reading, showcasing flawless performances amidst a warm and friendly atmosphere.

“Brewing Love” depicts the heart-fluttering love story between Yong Joo (Kim Sejeong), a super passionate sales king at a liquor company who hides her emotions, and Min Joo (Lee Jong Won), a super sensitive brewery owner who is adept at catching people’s emotions.

Kim Sejeong takes on the role of Chae Yong Joo, a legendary sales champion who has conquered the industry with sheer passion. To protect the sales branch she has been a part of for six years, Chae Yong Joo embarks on a special mission. Along the way, she encounters a man who understands her heart better than she does, bringing about significant changes in her life.

 

Lee Jong Won plays Yoon Min Joo, a brewery owner and brewmaster who has shaken up the liquor industry. Yoon Min Joo is an empath, who is highly attuned to the emotions of others. To avoid emotional overload, he has developed a habit of blocking out emotions. Living a life focused on his own feelings while brewing beer in a quiet and peaceful rural village, he finds himself increasingly drawn to Chae Yong Joo, who keeps capturing his attention.

 

Shin Do Hyun stars as Bang Ah Reum, a pragmatic planning team manager who competes with Chae Yong Joo over Yoon Min Joo’s brewery. Bang Ah Reum, who has a strong desire for recognition and refuses to compare herself to others, faces a big challenge with the emergence of the formidable rival Chae Yong Joo.

Kim Se-jung is Brewing Love with Lee Jong-won

by solstices

 

 

It’s time to raise a toast with ENA’s upcoming rom-com Brewing Love, which will have its spirited heroine Kim Se-jung (The Uncanny Counter 2) clinking glasses with the perceptive Lee Jong-won (Bad Memory Eraser). As our apéritif, we have script reading stills to whet our appetite ahead of the drama’s premiere.

Through six years of diligent work, our heroine Chae Yong-joo (Kim Se-jung) has earned the moniker of “the legendary sales queen” at the liquor company she works at. She’s fervent and direct, bolstered by a staunch constitution and steady mentality befitting her time in the special forces. Alas, Yong-joo is also partial to keeping her emotions bottled up — that is, until her branch finds itself facing imminent closure.

 

Resolving to revitalize her branch’s sales through introducing a new alcohol, Yong-joo seeks out the brewery CEO Yoon Min-joo (Lee Jong-won). With skills worthy of the “brewmaster” title, Min-joo’s beer is extraordinary enough to shake up the market — which is exactly what Yong-joo needs. But Min-joo is an empath who’s highly attuned to others’ feelings. In an effort to avoid the overwhelm that his extreme sensitivity often brings on, he’s retreated to a quiet countyside village so he can block out the influence of extraneous emotions.

Having focused solely on his brewery and his own emotions all this while, Min-joo soon finds his tranquil life upended by Yong-joo’s relentless sales pitches. Adding on to the chaos is Shin Do-hyun (Doom At Your Service) as the practical Bang Ah-reum, a planning team manager competing against her rival Yong-joo to recruit Min-joo first. Luckily for our brewer, his free-spirited best friend Oh Chan-hwi — played by Baek Sung-chul (Tell Me That You Love Me) — is in his corner, toast truck and all.

Adorably, our lead characters’ names match their personalities, since they can be read as “brave liquor” and “sensitive liquor” respectively. Will the straightforward “lager” Yong-joo mesh with the delicate “ale” Min-joo, creating a harmonious blend of complementary flavors? Or will their encounters leave them all shaken (not stirred) up? Either way, it’s certainly worth a shot!

Helmed by PD Park Seon-ho (Business Proposal) with scripts penned by Lee Jung-shin, Brewing Love will pour its first glass on November 4.
