On August 1st, the production unveiled the main poster, capturing the mysterious and dreamy atmosphere of Lee Hong Jo (played by Jo Bo Ah) and Jang Shin Yu (played by Rowoon) under the moonlight. Viewers are curious to know what story their destined bond from a past life will tell. JTBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama Destined With You (written by Noh Ji Sul and directed by Nam Ki Hoon) is set to have its premiere on August 23rd at 10:30 PM KST.

Destined With You is an inescapable romance between a low-ranking civil servant, Lee Hong Jo, who comes into possession of a book that was strictly sealed away 300 years ago, and Jang Shin Yu, a lawyer who becomes the sacrifice for that book. The sweet and delightful romance that begins with the two irresistibly drawn to an unavoidable destiny will awaken the viewers' fluttering hearts.

The main poster intensifies curiosity about the destined tale of Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu entangled in their past life. Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu stand beneath the mystical 'Pink Moon.' The moonlight surrounding them creates a dreamy atmosphere. Lee Hong Jo holds a page of the burning book, and Jang Shin Yu is surrounded by numerous lights, a fascinating sight. The peculiar atmosphere, with an old wooden boat visible amidst lush vegetation and candles and bowls placed on red silk, adds more mystery.

The phrase "Shall we do fate?" ignites curiosity about the relationship between Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu, which has continued for 300 years. What is the curse that falls upon Jang Shin Yu as the "sacrifice for the book," and what kind of destiny is entwined with Lee Hong Jo, the "owner of the boat," who can break that curse?

Jo Bo Ah will portray Lee Hong Jo, a 9th-grade civil servant and a problem solver for the citizens' complaints. Despite being overwhelmed by unimaginable complaints, she always does her best but remains introverted. Unexpectedly, she becomes the "owner of the book," holding the key to break Jang Shin Yu's curse. The sudden transformation of the ordinary low-ranking civil servant, Lee Hong Jo, into the owner of the book, leaves viewers wondering why and how this happened.

The production team of Destined With You stated, "The heartwarming and destined romance, along with the delightful and sweet inescapable romance, will provide a different kind of entertainment. Jo Bo Ah and Rowoon's synergy in portraying Lee Hong Jo and Jang Shin Yu's destined tale is highly anticipated.
