What Comes After Love has released new stills of Lee Se Young featuring her transformation after breaking up with Sakaguchi Kentaro. Check out below!
The romance drama has shared a glimpse of Lee Se Young’s character’s transformation in the upcoming series What Comes After Love. This new romance drama is based on the bestselling joint novel by Korean writer Gong Ji Young and Japanese writer Tsuji Hitonari. The novel tells the story of a Korean woman and a Japanese man who meet and fall in love in Japan, only to reunite in Korea five years after their breakup.
Newly released stills from the drama highlight the dramatic shift in Hong's (Lee Se Young) character before and after her heartbreaking split with Jungo (Sakaguchi Kentaro). While studying abroad in Japan, Hong meets Jungo in what seems like a fated encounter, and their romance shows her in a state of genuine, blissful love.
However, after breaking up with Jungo and returning to Korea, Hong appears like an entirely different person. With an empty gaze and a sorrowful expression, she radiates a sense of loneliness as she moves on from her life-changing romance with Jungo.
Lee Se Young expressed her excitement about the series, saying it is an honor to be part of a project based on a novel she has always admired. She is committed to portraying the emotions of someone experiencing love. Additionally, she looks forward to working with Sakaguchi Kentaro and promises to do her best to create a remarkable project.
Lee Se Young is reported to have seamlessly embodied the role of Hong, delivering the character’s emotional dialogue with impressive skill. Similarly, Sakaguchi Kentaro transformed into Jungo, evoking empathy from those around him by effectively conveying the character’s melancholy.
