New Romantic Comedy 'I'll Give You the Universe' Premieres on tvN: A Tale of Unexpected Parenthood and Love

'I'll Give You the Universe' stars Noh Jung-ui and Bae In-hyuk as they embark on a journey of co-parenting under one roof.

Premiering on October 4th, tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'I'll Give You the Universe' follows the chaotic cohabitation romance of Seon Tae-hyung (played by Bae In-hyuk) and Woo Hyun-jin (played by Noh Jung-ui), who find themselves unexpectedly raising their 20-month-old nephew Woo-joo (played by Park Yoo-ho) after a twisted first encounter. With just two days until the premiere, let's explore the key points to watch for in this series.

Directed by Lee Hyun-seok and Jung Yeo-jin, known for their stylish direction, 'I'll Give You the Universe' is described by the production team as a "romantic comedy that adds a spoonful of parenting to a spicy relationship dynamic, from enemies to cohabitants, and from mutual first loves to a reunion." They encourage viewers to focus on the narrative of young adults in their 20s, who are already overwhelmed with their own lives, as they grow through the monumental quest of parenting.

The chemistry among the young cast, including Bae In-hyuk, Noh Jung-ui, and Park Seo-ham, is another highlight. Bae In-hyuk takes on the role of Seon Tae-hyung, a photography assistant, showcasing a new side of his acting. Noh Jung-ui plays Woo Hyun-jin, an enthusiastic job seeker full of positive energy, delivering a matured romantic comedy performance. Park Seo-ham portrays Park Yoon-sung, Hyun-jin's first love and a team leader at a food company with perfect visuals and skills, adding excitement to the romantic storyline.

The production team has high confidence in the cast, stating, "We chose actors who can vividly portray the freshness, setbacks, and growth unique to young adults in their 20s. Bae In-hyuk perfectly embodies the character of Seon Tae-hyung, who grows while carrying his own wounds. He evolves from a man you want to protect to someone who protects Hyun-jin and Woo-joo."

They also praised Noh Jung-ui, saying, "She immerses herself in the character with passionate acting, amplifying the radiant moments of Hyun-jin, who shares joys and sorrows with Woo-joo, with her charm. Park Seo-ham, as the 'perfect team leader,' is gentle with Woo-joo and actively supports Hyun-jin, heightening the excitement."

Finally, the production team highlighted the performances of Kang Ae-shim and Kim In-kwon, noting, "Kang Ae-shim's warm comfort and Kim In-kwon's skilled dialect and ad-libs are also key points to watch. Look forward to the bickering dynamic between these two, who seem like both mother and enemy, and the hidden stories behind them."
