Don Lee's Actioner "The Roundup: Punishment" Attracts 1 Million+ Moviegoers on 2nd Day of Release
tvN's highly-anticipated Monday-Tuesday drama My Lovely Liar has released stills portraying the bromance between the genius composer Kim Do Ha (Hwang Min Hyun) and J Entertainment CEO Cho Deuk Chan (Yun Ji On).
My Lovely Liar follows the story of Mok Sol Hee, a woman who can spot lies by hearing them, and a genius composer Kim Do Ha, who hides his true identity.
The newly released photos offer a glimpse into the close relationship between Kim Do Ha and Cho Deuk Chan. Cho Deuk Chan, the CEO of J Entertainment, plays a pivotal role in guiding Kim Do Ha onto the path of becoming a renowned composer. Cho Deuk Chan's composed appearance gives an air of a talented star-maker who discovered Kim Do Ha, the genius composer, and the exceptional solo artist Sha On (Lee Si Woo).
The still of Cho Deuk Chan captured at Kim Do Ha's house, which no one is allowed entry into, adds further intrigue.
Kim Do Ha, who lives a secluded life, cut off from the world's gaze, appears comfortable and relaxed in the company of Cho Deuk Chan, like a younger sibling of a caring older brother. Cho Deuk Chan, who is privy to Kim Do Ha's secret, is the only person who has been there by his side, offering unwavering support and trust. The shared secrets between the duo pique curiosity surrounding their relationship.
Describing the character of Cho Deuk Chan, Yoon Ji On explains that he is more of an "emotional CEO" rather than a logical one. He states, "Instead of the image that usually comes to mind when you think of a CEO, I think he gives off a friendly vibe, like an older brother or an older friend who playfully bickers. I tried to manifest a relaxed posture, speech, and various emotions, rather than trying to portray a stereotypical image".
The bromance between Hwang Min Hyun and Yoon Ji On emerges as an exciting highlight of the drama. Hwang Min Hyun shares his experience of working alongside Yoon Ji On, stating, "He helped me feel comfortable on set so that I could act comfortably. In the drama, Kim Do Ha sees Cho Deuk Chan as a trusted older brother figure, so it was enjoyable to act together".
Yoon Ji On also adds, "Whenever I am with Hwang Min Hyun, I tend to joke around and talk more. Even when we act, our natural relationship seems to come through more easily".
My Lovely Liar is set to premiere on July 31st.
