Director Park Won-guk Expresses Confidence in New Drama 'Spring Fever'

Director Park Won-guk, known for 'Marry My Husband', has expressed his confidence in his latest project.

On the 29th, the production presentation for tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Spring Fever' was held online, attended by actors Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Joo-been, and director Park Won-guk.

tvN's new drama 'Spring Fever' (directed by Park Won-guk, written by Kim Ah-jung, planned by CJ ENM STUDIOS, produced by Bon Factory) is a hot pink romance that will melt even the coldest hearts, featuring the chilly teacher Yoon Bom (played by Lee Joo-been) and the passionate man Sun Jae-kyu (played by Ahn Bo-hyun).

Based on a popular web novel of the same name, 'Spring Fever' is directed by Park Won-guk, who previously helmed 'Marry My Husband', a drama that achieved the highest ratings for a Monday-Tuesday slot on tvN. Given the success of his previous work, there is considerable pressure to deliver.

Regarding this, Director Park stated, "'Marry My Husband' received so much love that ordinary love stories no longer satisfy me," adding, "While preparing for this project, I set a goal to receive even greater love than 'Marry My Husband'," eliciting laughter.

He further commented, "The script was so interesting that I felt I had to direct it," and emphasized, "I focused on capturing unexpected specialness. I believed in the actors and thought it was important to capture them well on camera, so I approached filming with trust in the two actors."

tvN's 'Marry My Husband' featured actors Park Min-young, Lee Yi-kyung, and Song Ha-yoon, who delivered outstanding performances. However, Song Ha-yoon faced school violence allegations after the show ended, leading to a hiatus, and Lee Yi-kyung was embroiled in rumors about his personal life, resulting in his departure from some variety shows.

tvN's 'Spring Fever' is set to premiere on January 5, 2026, at 8:50 PM.
