Popular South Korean actor Park Seo-joon has been confirmed to star in JTBC’s upcoming romantic comedy-drama, Waiting for Gyeongdo. This new series tells the story of two former lovers who meet again years after their breakup under unusual circumstances.
About the Story
Waiting for Gyeongdo follows Lee Gyeong-do and Seo Ji-woo, who dated twice—once at age 20 and again at 28—before breaking up both times. Years later, they meet again. Gyeong-do is now an entertainment reporter, and Ji-woo is married to the man at the center of a scandal Gyeong-do is covering. Their unexpected reunion sparks a story full of drama, emotions, and second chances.
Cast and Characters
- Park Seo-joon as Lee Gyeong-do
Park Seo-joon, known for his roles in Itaewon Class and Gyeongseong Creature, will play Lee Gyeong-do, an ambitious reporter whose work brings him face-to-face with his complicated past. - Won Ji-an (in talks) as Seo Ji-woo
Rising actress Won Ji-an, praised for her role in Squid Game 2, is in discussions to join the series as Seo Ji-woo. Fans are excited to see her bring depth and emotion to this complex character.
Creative Team
The drama is led by an experienced team:
- Director: Im Hyun-wook, who worked on King the Land.
- Writer: Yoo Young-ah, known for Thirty-Nine and Divorce Attorney Shin.
Release Date and Production
Waiting for Gyeongdo is set to premiere on JTBC in 2025. Filming will begin once casting is finalized, and fans are eagerly awaiting more updates.
Why This Drama Stands Out
The story combines romance, comedy, and drama, exploring themes of love, heartbreak, and redemption. Park Seo-joon’s return to JTBC is a highlight for fans, and the potential addition of Won Ji-an as the female lead adds even more excitement.
With its strong cast and creative team, Waiting for Gyeongdo promises to be a must-watch drama for 2025. Keep an eye out for more details as production moves forward!
