Anticipation Builds for 'Single Men and Women' Starring Yoon Hyun-min and Jung Hye-sung
Scheduled for release in December, the short-form drama 'Single Men and Women' tells the story of individuals who meet to exchange items from their ex-spouses and ex-partners through second-hand transactions. As they share ways to overcome breakups, they learn how to stand on their own, offering a fresh take on romance that promises to captivate viewers without a moment of boredom.
The drama draws attention with veteran director Lee Jung-seob at the helm. Known for creating mega-hits like 'Bread, Love and Dreams' with a peak rating of 49.3%, 'Healer', 'Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho', 'Queen for Seven Days', and 'Angel's Last Mission: Love', Lee's approach to the short-form format is highly anticipated for its potential to deliver new and exciting entertainment.
On the 23rd, the two main characters who will portray realistic love stories in 'Single Men and Women' were revealed: Yoon Hyun-min as Bae Jin-seok and Jung Hye-sung as Oh Da-hye.
Yoon Hyun-min takes on the role of Bae Jin-seok, a man who has been divorced for six months after spending two of his three married years as a 'goose husband'. Determined to move on from lingering regrets, Bae Jin-seok meets Oh Da-hye, who is in a similar situation, and experiences a change in emotions for the first time in a while.
Yoon Hyun-min, known for his charming looks and solid acting skills, has captivated audiences with his performances in romance dramas such as 'Discovery of Love', 'Falling for Innocence', 'My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol', 'Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter', and 'Bora! Deborah'. His return to the romance genre after approximately 18 months is highly anticipated.
Jung Hye-sung plays the role of Oh Da-hye, a woman who appears strong and independent, aiming for success, but secretly harbors a longing for love and carries emotional scars. As she struggles with lingering feelings for her ex-boyfriend, she begins to heal after meeting Bae Jin-seok.
Debuting in 2009 with the drama 'Friend, Our Legend', Jung Hye-sung has received much love for her performances across various genres, including 'Oh My Venus', 'Love in the Moonlight', 'Good Manager', 'Doubtful Victory', and 'Cheap Cheonlima Mart'. Her unique and vibrant personality is expected to bring a distinctive romance to life.
'Single Men and Women' is set to premiere on the short-form streaming platform 'PulsePick' in December 2024. PulsePick aims to offer a new short-form entertainment experience with intense and immersive content, providing trendy and easily accessible content for viewers.
