A new romantic revenge drama is in the works, and there are speculations that Uhm Hyun Kyung and Seo Jun Young could collaborate for the lead roles. As reported by Xportsnews on January 26, the pair is currently in discussions to headline the upcoming MBC drama, ‘Brave Yong Soo Jung’ (literal title).
Yeojin Entertainment, Uhm Hyun Kyung’s agency, addressed the reports, stating, “She received an offer for the role in ‘Brave Yong Soo Jung’ and is actively contemplating it.” The prospect of this project carries particular weight, potentially marking Uhm Hyun Kyung’s inaugural venture following motherhood.
While Uhm Hyun Kyung’s agency has addressed her potential role, there’s no official statement from Seo Jun Young’s agency regarding his participation in the drama.
‘Brave Yong Soo Jung’ unfolds a narrative entwined with romance and revenge, spotlighting Yong Soo Jung, an ambitious woman aspiring to carve a path as a successful businessperson, and Yeo Eui Joo, a young man grappling with a life-threatening illness. The plot deepens as Eui Joo unravels his ties to an affluent chaebol family while navigating the challenges of safeguarding his mentally disabled mother and the woman he holds dear.
Uhm Hyun Kyung is considering the portrayal of Yong Soo Jung, a character inspired by the insightful philosophy of Im Sang Ok, a notable figure from the Joseon Dynasty. Im Sang Ok believed that achieving success in business goes beyond mere profits, emphasizing the importance of winning people’s hearts.
Adding to the anticipation, the drama has reportedly extended casting offers to Lee Seung Yeon, Ji Soo Won, and Park Chul Min, intensifying the excitement surrounding the cast of ‘Brave Yong Soo Jung.’
