On August 6, a drama representative shared that there are currently discussions for Seohyun to take on the role of the male lead’s first love, Han Yoo Rim, in SBS’s upcoming weekend drama, Passionate Love.
The discussed character is a nice-looking college student with a soft heart and intelligent brain. The male lead is a high school student, who falls in love with her at first sight. He lies about his age in order to pass as a college student in hopes that they would meet, but she suddenly passes away from an accident.
Although the character Han Yoo Rim will be in the drama for about four episodes, the role is significant to the flow of the story. Seohyun previously made a special cameo with other Girls’ Generation members in 2008 when Sooyoung and Yuri were fixed cast of KBS’s sitcom Unstoppable Marriage, but this would be her first actual role.
Passionate Love is a melodrama focusing on the sad love story of a couple from the tragic fate of two families. The production team behind Moon That Embraces The Sun, Equator Man, Gaksital, and more, is behind this project. It will premiere in October.
