Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun-jin portray a heartbreaking love story.

The MBC drama 'Lovers', scheduled to be broadcast in 2023, is a drama that depicts the love of a lover thrown into the chaos of the Manchu War and the story of the people who found hope in the midst of hardship. Writer Hwang Jin-young, who wrote the myth of undefeated historical dramas through 'The King's Daughter, Baek Soo-hyang' and 'Rebel: A Thief Who Stole the People', and director Kim Seong-yong, who proved his powerful directing skills through 'Black Sun', have teamed up.

Meanwhile, on the 13th, the male and female protagonists who will complete the heartbreaking love in 'Lovers' were revealed, drawing attention. They are Namgoong Min (played by Lee Jang-hyun) and Ahn Eun-jin (played by Yoo Gil-chae).

First, Namgoong Min plays Lee Jang-hyeon, a mysterious man who suddenly appears in the Neunggun-ri social scene one day. Lee Jang-hyun is a complex character with a natural playfulness but a dark inner self that cannot be revealed to anyone. Jang Hyeon, who never loved anything and therefore never gave his heart to anything, opens the door to an unexpected fate after getting to know a woman.

Namgoong Min, who shows perfect character digestion regardless of genre with solid acting skills, is an actor who is not only popular but also has star quality. We are looking forward to seeing how special Namgoong Min's presence will make 'Lovers' become a special drama as he perfectly embodies the character and is loved by the public for each of his works such as MBC's 'Black Sun' and SBS's 'The Thousand Won Lawyer'. It is also noteworthy that Namgoong Min's first historical drama is 10 years since 'Guam Heo Jun' in 2013.

Eun-jin Ahn takes on the role of Gil-chae Yoo, the daughter of a well-bred adoptive family. I am the center of the world. I was a sweet and proud person who had no doubt that the love of every man in the world was mine, but as I experienced the weather of war and came to truly love a man, I gradually matured.

Ahn Eun-jin emerged as a blue chip in Chungmuro through dramas such as tvN's 'Hospital Playlist' and JTBC's 'Only One Person' as well as the recent movie 'Owl'. Ahn Eun-jin, who is attracting attention as an actor who shines with her own colors no matter what work or character she plays, is expected to show a brilliant performance in her first historical drama 'Lovers'.

‘Lovers’ is scheduled to air in the second half of 2023.
