Kim Jung Young, Lee Mi Do, And More Add Heart And Conflict To Han Ji Min’s Story In “The Practical Guide To Love”
JTBC’s upcoming weekend drama “The Practical Guide to Love” has shared new stills of its supporting cast! “The Practical Guide to Love” tells the story of Lee Ui Yeong (Han Ji Min), a woman who enters the world of blind dates after deciding to actively pursue love. When she meets Song Tae Seop (Park Sung Hoon) and Shin Ji Su (Lee Ki Taek), two men with strikingly different charms, she finds herself torn between them—prompting a journey to discover what true love really means. Joining the drama are Kim Jung Young, Lee Mi Do, Park Jung Pyo, Jo Bok Rae, Kim Won Hae, and Oh Min Ae. Kim Jung Young plays Park Jung Im, Lee Ui Yeong’s mother and an insurance planner. Known for her strict self-discipline, Park Jung Im continuously works on self-improvement while balancing her career and studies. Having raised her daughter to be independent, she becomes a key figure who shakes up Ui Yeong’s views on love. Lee Mi Do takes on the role of Jung Na Ri, Ui Yeong’s superior and head of the purchasing team at The Hills Hotel. Though she maintains a sweet, romantic marriage, Jung Na Ri often passes work to her juniors under the excuse of being busy with married life. She subtly keeps Ui Yeong—whose performance surpasses her own—in check, adding tension to the workplace dynamic. Park Jung Pyo plays Oh Myung Woon, another of Ui Yeong’s bosses and the purchasing team manager. More skilled in business dealings than practical work, he is constantly busy with mysterious meetings and tends to disappear at critical moments. Kim Won Hae stars as Eun Jung Seok, the general manager of The Hills Hotel. Having started his career as a bellboy and devoted nearly 40 years to the hotel, he is regarded as both its living history and symbol of dignity. As a true gentleman and Ui Yeong’s most respected senior, viewers can look forward to his warm chemistry with Han Ji Min. Jo Bok Rae plays Lee Eun Ho, co-CEO of HOME alongside Song Tae Seop. Lee Eun Ho prefers peaceful resolutions and avoids conflict while overseeing overall business operations. He also offers realistic yet witty advice about Tae Seop’s awkward love life, providing refreshing humor. Lastly, Oh Min Ae plays Lee Soon Joo, Song Tae Seop’s mother and the owner of the restaurant Songi Dakbal. Having long felt guilty for not being able to fully care for her son while supporting the family, she wholeheartedly supports Tae Seop’s happiness and love, serving as his strongest emotional support.
“The Practical Guide To Love” Director And Writer Talk About The Drama’s Concept, Key Viewing Points, And More
The director and scriptwriter for the upcoming drama “The Practical Guide to Love” have shared their thoughts on the drama! “The Practical Guide to Love” tells the story of Lee Ui Yeong (Han Ji Min), a woman who dives into the world of blind dates after deciding to pursue love. When she meets two men with strikingly different charms, she finds herself torn between them—prompting a journey towards discovering what true love really means. First, director Lee Jae Hoon revealed that his initial impression of the project was shaped by the protagonist’s career. He remarked, “The female lead Lee Ui Yeong working on a hotel purchasing team felt unique.” He found it especially impressive that the drama shines a light on the stories of those who work quietly behind the scenes of glamorous spaces. He continued, “Instead of the luxurious lobby, we focused on the stories of those working in kitchens, storage rooms, and hallways. After extensive consultation and research, we built a realistic portrayal of their professional lives with strong detail.” Writer Lee Yi Jin shared, “The original work was so charming that I didn’t hesitate long after receiving the adaptation offer.” She continued, “I found it interesting that the story focuses seriously on blind dates. From the very first episode, it clearly distances itself from the typical romance drama by confronting the reality that natural encounters are difficult and by showing the careful weighing of potential partners’ conditions,” she explained. “It might feel a bit dry, but I thought it could tell a love story that people in their 30s—who have many responsibilities in life—could relate to.” Talking about the thought that went into portraying blind dates, which serve as the main theme of the drama in an engaging way, director Lee Jae Hoon shared, “As a main subject of a drama, blind dates might feel somewhat ordinary. But at the same time, because it is such an everyday topic, it can create moments that are strongly relatable.” He continued, “I tried to capture and portray those moments that seem trivial but carry significant emotional weight realistically.” Writer Lee Yi Jin remarked, “When I first saw the original work, I loved the contrast between the pure, heart-fluttering art style and the realistic story development.” She continued, “Because I wanted to stay true to the expectations created by the title of the drama and its blind date concept, I tried to vividly capture everything from the decision to go on a blind date to the happenings at the actual blind date and the worries that arise when the blind date begins to transition into a relationship.” Finally, director Lee Jae Hoon and writer Lee Yi Jin both shared key viewing points for the drama. Director Lee Jae Hoon commented, “Many talented actors appear as family members and colleagues, adding fun and depth to the story. The diverse cameo appearances by actors who will play Lee Ui Yeong’s blind date partners will also add fun to the drama.” He added, “I remember being deeply moved several times, thinking how truly blessed we were with this casting,” expressing his trust in the actors. Writer Lee Yi Jin concluded, “I think viewers will find it more enjoyable if they watch while asking themselves questions like, ‘What kind of love did I experience in the past?’ and ‘What choice would I make in that situation?’” She added, “I hope everyone who watches this drama won’t give up on love too easily and will continue to move toward it—each in their own way.”

The production team shared, “Yoon Jong Hoon’s delicate acting will deeply portray the sense of emptiness hidden behind Go Gyeol’s perfect exterior, further enhancing viewers’ immersion. We hope audiences look forward to the new charm he will reveal through this drama.” “Our Happy Days” is scheduled to premiere in March as the follow-up to “Marie and Her Three Daddies.”

Lee Na Young Makes A Bold Live Broadcast Exposé Against Seo Hyun Woo In “Honour”
Lee Na Young will deliver a real-time exposé during a live broadcast in tonight’s episode of “Honour”! Based on a Swedish series, “Honour” is a mystery thriller that tells the story of three lawyers who confront a massive scandal from the past head-on. Lee Na Young, Jung Eun Chae, and Lee Chung Ah star as founding partners of the law firm L&J (Listen and Join), which specializes in representing victims of crimes against women. Spoilers The previous episode ended with Yoon Ra Young (Lee Na Young) falling into a trap orchestrated by Park Je Yeol (Seo Hyun Woo) and was forced into a tense, one-on-one confrontation with him in the darkness. Adding to the shock, another victim of sexual exploitation—whom Park Je Yeol had drawn into the secret app “Connect In” after receiving a suspended indictment—was discovered unconscious in a hotel room. The revelation of Park Je Yeol’s brutal domestic violence toward his wife Hong Yeon Hee (Baek Eun Hye) further fueled calls for justice against both him and the illicit prostitution app. In today’s episode, the showdown between Yoon Ra Young and Park Je Yeol will intensify as both are pushed to the brink. In the preview, Park Je Yeol delivers a chilling warning: “I gave you plenty of chances. Go ahead—let’s see you break.” Yet Yoon Ra Young refuses to back down. Standing once again before a live broadcast camera, she calmly declares, “There is a secret prostitution app. And a current prosecutor is involved,” publicly exposing the truth in real time. The explosive revelation, broadcast nationwide, is expected to shake the entire country. Watching the broadcast, Kang Shin Jae (Jung Eun Chae) and Hwang Hyun Jin (Lee Chung Ah) are left visibly shaken, underscoring the enormous fallout the exposé is likely to trigger. Meanwhile, Park Je Yeol—who has always maintained a composed facade—finally erupts in rage. Scenes of him losing control in his office and later appearing flustered as he is cornered by reporters hint at a cathartic turning point to come. Attention is now focused on whether Yoon Ra Young’s determined exposé can dismantle the powerful cartel surrounding both Park Je Yeol and “Connect In.” The production team commented, “Episode 8 will center on the aftermath of Yoon Ra Young’s decisive revelation and the situation Park Je Yeol finds himself in as a result. Viewers can also look forward to another thrilling ending that will raise the bar once again. Please don’t miss the broadcast.” Episode 8 of “Honour” will air on February 24 at 10 p.m. KST.
