KOREAN drama stars Lee Jae-wook and Jo Bo-ah are teaming up for Netflix’s upcoming mystery period series.
The streaming giant announced on Wednesday, Sept. 20, that the drama, with a working title “Hong Rang,” will be set during South Korea’s Joseon period.
Lea Jae-wook will play the role of an elite family’s long-lost son while Jo Bo-ah brings to life his “tenacious” step-sister.
“At the heart of ‘Hong Rang’ is the enigmatic Hong Rang, the long-lost son of Joseon’s elite, who emerges from the shadows with hidden secrets,” Netflix said.
It added: “As he makes his unexpected return, having vanished in childhood, the narrative promises a whirlwind of emotions, weaving romance and suspense.”
“Alongside him, his tenacious step-sister Jae-i delves deeper into the mystery of his disappearance, [with] their fates becoming inextricably linked in a tale that masterfully explores love, friendship, and destiny,” the streamer said.
The series also stars Jung Ga-ram from “Love Alarm” and “The Interest of Love,” Uhm Ji-won from “Little Women,” Park Byung-eun from “Kingdom,” and Kim Jae-wook from “Her Private Life.”
The project will be helmed by Kim Hong-sun, who also directed the Korean adaptation of the crime drama “Money Heist.” (ABS-CBN News)
