Park Seo Joon is to return to rom-coms as the main lead of JTBC's Waiting for Gyeongdo. Director Im Hyun Wook of King the Land will be directing this upcoming drama.
On January 6, the production team of Waiting for Gyeongdo confirmed the 'king of on-screen romance', Park Seo Joon, to be cast as the male lead of the romance comedy. He was offered the role by director Im Hyun last year, as reported by TV Daily on July 8, 2024. His team had been considering the role ever since.
About Waiting for Gyeongdo
This rom-com series is about Lee Gyeong Do (Park Seo Joon) and Seo Ji Woo (actress not confirmed), who meet during their college days and fall in love with each other in their twenties. However, they part ways and later, in a surprising twist of fate, reunite at a pivotal moment of their lives. Waiting for Gyeongdo will include flashbacks of the on-and-off relationship of the two back in their youth and their present-day dynamics with each other.
Acclaimed director Im Hyun Wook and renowned screenwriter Yoo Young Ah have teamed up for the exciting new project, with the production set to begin once the full cast is confirmed. Its broadcast schedule will also be announced thereafter.
Waiting for Gyeongdo Female Lead
Squid Game 2 fame Won Ji An has been offered the role of the female lead of Waiting for Gyeongdo, as per a January 3 report of Donga.com. Her agency, Hiin Entertainment responded to the claims saying, “Waiting for Gyeongdo is a project that Won Ji An is currently reviewing her casting offer for.” After Won Ji An's intense role as Se Mi/Player 380 in Squid Game 2, seeing her romancing Park Seo Joon on-screen would be interesting.
