Anticipation Builds as 'Innocent Romance' Unveils New Twists in Upcoming Episodes

Lee Chaeyeon and Zion's Innocent Romance Begins.

The drama 'Innocent Romance' has released a teaser ahead of the upcoming release of episodes 5 and 6 on the 26th. 'Innocent Romance' is a musical healing rom-com that tells the story of Yoo Chaerin (played by Lee Chaeyeon), a national goddess and idol who has grown weary of music after six years, and Han Jungwoo (played by Zion), an aspiring singer-songwriter who is passionate about music. The show captivates viewers with its charming characters and the dynamic performances of its cast, delivering both laughter and excitement.

In episodes 3 and 4, which aired last week, Han Jungwoo's growing affection for Yoo Chaerin was depicted following a surprise kiss. Yoo Chaerin, in turn, sought out Han Jungwoo, openly expressing her feelings and showcasing her lovely, straightforward nature, bringing smiles to viewers' faces.

Han Jungwoo confessed, "Shall we try dating?" and they began a happy secret romance. To avoid public attention, Han Jungwoo brought Yoo Chaerin to his home, but his awkwardness in the unfamiliar atmosphere brought laughter. He serenaded her with guitar and warm songs, creating a heart-fluttering moment as they grew closer.

Tensions also peaked between Han Jungwoo and Choi Minjun (played by Dongmyeong). Choi Minjun, who attempted to steal Han Jungwoo's song for his new release, pressured him to sell the song and provocatively warned, "Stop seeing Yoo Chaerin. She's from a different world. Don't get hurt and just give up."

Additionally, Do Jiyeon (played by Choi Daum) reminisced about her happy past with Han Jungwoo and was shocked to see photos of his secret romance with Yoo Chaerin, signaling the start of a love quadrangle.

In the teaser for episodes 5 and 6, released by 'Innocent Romance,' Han Jungwoo and Yoo Chaerin's secret romance is at risk of being exposed as entertainment reporters capture photos of them, raising questions about whether their romance will face a major obstacle.

Episodes 5 and 6 of 'Innocent Romance' will be simultaneously released on OTT platforms TVING, Wavve, WATCHA, and IPTV services Genie TV, B tv, and cable VOD on the 26th. Starting from the 21st, the drama is also available in Japan on Abema TV, with two episodes airing every Saturday at 6 PM.
