When the Phone Rings starring Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin postponed twice in December
Ju Ji Hoon is in talks to return to the romance comedy genre after almost two decades.
On January 24, media outlets reported that Ju Ji Hoon will lead the tvN romance K-drama Love Is On Single Log Bridge (literal translation).
Ju Ji Hoon's agency H& Entertainment responded to the casting news. According to the agency, Love Is On Single Log Bridge is one of the works offered to Ju Ji Hoon and he is currently reviewing it.
Love Is On Single Log Bridge tells the story of a man and a woman who were deeply in love with each other back in their school days but had to separate because of their family who opposed their relationship painfully. After 15 years, the two get to reunite.
The upcoming K-drama will be helmed by director Park Joon Hwa (Alchemy of Souls, What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, and Because This Is My First Life). The script will be penned by writer Im Ye Jin (The Tale of Nokdu, Love in the Moonlight, and Who Are You: School 2015).
There is no confirmation yet on the release date of the upcoming K-drama but it will exclusively premiere on tvN. There are also no reports yet on which actors will be working with Ju Ji Hoon in the upcoming K-drama.
If Ju Ji Hoon confirms his casting, this will be his return to the romance comedy genre after 18 years. He last starred in a rom-com in 2006 through the hit K-drama Goong.
Ju Ji Hoon has been active both in K-dramas and films but in different types of genres and not rom-com. In 2020, he starred in the K-drama Hyena wherein he had a love line with top actress Kim Hye Soo but romance was not the main plot of the series.
Aside from Love Is On Single Log Bridge, Ju Ji Hoon is also set to lead the upcoming K-dramas Blood Free, The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, and Shop of the Lamp. He will also return to the new installment of Along With the Gods 3.
