Lee Young-ae and Yoo Ji-tae are reuniting for the first time in 25 years through the drama “Jae-e’s Young-in” (translated title).
The news was confirmed on 23 March by the production company, IWill Media, saying that the drama will revolve around two people with similar pain who learn how to live together again.
Expectations are high as this marks the reunion of Lee Young-ae and Yoo Ji-tae 25 years after their last collaboration, the 2001 movie, “One Fine Spring Day”.
In the upcoming drama, Lee plays Joo Young-in, an art teacher and painter grieving the loss of her son. She is a character who endures life by painting murals during sleepless dawns.
Her co-star, Yoo Ji-tae, plays Shin Jae-yi, the CEO of an architectural firm who possesses both a pure, boyish charm and a free spirit. Despite his bright personality, he lives with a massive void caused by dissociative amnesia, experiencing confusion and internal rifts as the truth gradually unfolds.
It will be helmed by Oh Ki-hwan of “The Art of Seduction”.
The production team expressed their anticipation, stating, “We will present a distinctive and stylish mystery melodrama with intricate emotional arcs and unpredictable plot developments.”
Meanwhile, the drama team is currently in scheduling discussions with major broadcasters.
