Director Jung Yeo-jin Praises Rising Star Roh Jeong-eui in New Drama 'I'll Give You the Universe'

Director Jung Yeo-jin of 'I'll Give You the Universe' has praised lead actress Roh Jeong-eui. Born in 2001, Roh Jeong-eui is known for her profile of 165cm and 39kg, and she is gaining popularity among the MZ generation for her visual appeal and acting skills.

On the 27th, the production presentation for tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'I'll Give You the Universe' was held online. The event was attended by directors Lee Hyun-seok and Jung Yeo-jin, along with actors Bae In-hyuk, Roh Jeong-eui, and Park Seo-ham.

'I'll Give You the Universe' is a romantic comedy about a pair of in-laws who, after a twisted first meeting, suddenly find themselves raising their 20-month-old nephew 'Woo-joo' (played by Park Yoo-ho) together.

Director Jung Yeo-jin commented, "Before working together, I thought of her as an MZ goddess with a pure and mysterious image, but meeting her in person, I was surprised by how down-to-earth she was. Her sense of responsibility on set was impressive, and her professionalism was remarkable. It was refreshing to see how different she was from my expectations."

She added, "Roh Jeong-eui's natural personality blended well with her character, and she expressed emotions like resilience and the anxiety that anyone in their 20s might feel through her acting. Our drama will allow viewers to appreciate Roh Jeong-eui's charm even more deeply."

Regarding Park Seo-ham, Director Jung said, "He was the actor who made me laugh the most on set. Just looking at him brings a smile to my face. His perfect visuals make him seem like the real-life version of a first love." She also noted, "Working with these three actors made the set even more adorable and lovable. It was a reason to cheer them on even more."

'I'll Give You the Universe' premieres on February 4th at 10:40 PM.
