Jung Kyung Ho Confirmed To Star In New Romance Drama
Jung Kyung Ho has chosen a romance for his next project! On March 4, a media outlet reported that Jung Kyung Ho will star as the male lead in the new drama “Unshakable Forties’ Romance” (literal translation). In response to the report, Jung Kyung Ho’s agency Management OREUM stated, “It is true that Jung Kyung Ho will be starring in ‘Unshakable Forties’ Romance.’” “Unshakable Forties’ Romance” is a bewitching story about a man and a woman in their forties—an age said to be unmoved by temptation—who find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. A star anchor suffering from early andropause and a third rate writer who used to be his sworn enemy try to revive a ratings-bottomed program—only to end up reviving each other’s long-withered “romance cells.” Jung Kyung Ho is set to play Na Yi Jun, the newsroom’s star anchor. He grew up without major hardships in an ordinary middle-class family, scored a perfect score on the college entrance exam, and became the youngest anchor ever—an exceptional figure. But at 40, he develops early-andropause symptoms, and his self-esteem comes crashing down. Recently with four consecutive hits including “Hospital Playlist,” “Crash Course in Romance,” “Oh My Ghost Clients,” and “Pro Bono,” Jung Kyung Ho has cemented his status as a trusted actor, drawing anticipation for his next project. Stay tuned for more updates about the cast and broadcast schedule! While you wait, watch Jung Kyung Ho in “Falling for Innocence”:

Watch: Esom Falls For Yoo Yeon Seok Despite Thinking He's Crazy In "Phantom Lawyer" Teaser
SBS’s upcoming drama “Phantom Lawyer” has shared a sneak peek of the chemistry between Yoo Yeon Seok and Esom! “Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite attorney Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients—ghosts—through the law. The new teaser begins with the two lawyers meeting alone outside the courtroom, with Han Na Hyun prompting Shin I Rang, “Tell me. What is it?” Shin I Rang then shocks Han Na Hyun by hesitantly replying, “A ghost.” To Han Na Hyun, who doesn’t believe in ghosts, it seems as though Shin I Rang is obsessed with something that doesn’t exist. When it seems like he can’t stop thinking or talking about ghosts, she scoffs in disbelief, “This bastard is crazy.” No matter how much Shin I Rang insists that a new ghost just came to see him, Han Na Hyun refuses to believe him. Eventually, Na Hyun even slaps him out of anger and warns him, “From now on, don’t act like you know me. Got it?” But no matter how much Han Na Hyun tries to push Shin I Rang away, she keeps running into him—and as time goes on, her heart starts to race when she’s around him. As she finds herself increasingly drawn to him, she muses, “Attorney Shin and I are very different people. That’s why I like spending time together with him.” From running hand in hand through falling snow to holding each other tightly at an amusement park, the relationship between the two lawyers takes a decidedly romantic turn. The preview ends with Shin I Rang seemingly about to make a confession to Han Na Hyun, saying, “I want to tell you my feelings.”
Esom Talks About Her Cold Yet Evolving Character And Chemistry With Yoo Yeon Seok In “Phantom Lawyer”
Esom has shared her thoughts on her upcoming drama “Phantom Lawyer”! “Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite attorney Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients—ghosts—through the law. Esom plays Han Na Hyun, an elite attorney at Taebaek Law Firm, one of the most prestigious law firms in Seoul, known for her perfect 100 percent win rate. Han Na Hyun makes rational decisions strictly within the bounds of the law and has always pursued victory as her sole goal. But behind this perfection lies a deeply hidden story: becoming a lawyer was originally her older sister’s dream. Na Hyun trained herself ruthlessly to shoulder that dream in her sister’s stead. Esom explained that, to understand Han Na Hyun’s present, she first had to imagine the path Na Hyun had walked. She remarked, “She looks cold and rigid, but I wondered what kind of wounds and pain she might have experienced. I thought she might have closed herself off emotionally to protect herself from being hurt.” She continued, “After meeting Shin I Rang, she experiences failure and anger, but gradually, her gaze shifts, and emotions begin to emerge. Through this, she discovers a side of herself she didn’t know existed.” The actress also explained that Han Na Hyun’s transformation drew her to the role. She stated, “I was curious how a cold, rational person like Han Na Hyun, who only cares about winning, would change when she meets Shin I Rang, who is her complete opposite. It was intriguing to see the process of cracks appearing in the life of result-oriented Han Na Hyun when she encounters Shin I Rang.” Esom went on to explain how she prepared for the character. She revealed that since Han Na Hyun doesn’t show emotions in the early stages of the drama, she had to lower her tone to emphasize the character’s cold image. Her styling—flawless suits paired with a smartwatch—helped highlight Han Na Hyun’s rigid and disciplined personality. She also used subtle changes in color tones and atmosphere to visually capture the cracks that appear in Han Na Hyun’s perfectly guarded life later in the drama. Talking about the relationship between Han Na Hyun and Shin I Rang, she shared, “While Na Hyun is all about the law and winning, Shin I Rang genuinely listens to people’s stories. Although the two are clearly polar opposites, feelings develop between them as they work together over time. I think viewers will find that aspect very interesting.” Regarding working with Yoo Yeon Seok, Esom commented, “This is our first project together, but I had faith he would portray Shin I Rang perfectly. Even while I was focused on my lines, he paid attention to the atmosphere on set. I learned a lot from him.” Finally, Esom emphasized that the stories of the ghosts who visit Shin I Rang are the core of the drama. She also stated that she hopes the series naturally conveys how important it is to genuinely listen to someone’s story. She shared, “The various ghost characters appearing in each episode will be one of the biggest highlights of the drama. Please look forward to how Shin I Rang, Han Na Hyun, and these ghost clients form a team, complementing each other, and solving cases in satisfying ways.” “Phantom Lawyer” is set to premiere on March 13 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
