KBS2 Drama 'Prescription for Love' Delayed Due to WBC; Actor Lee Jae-ryong Faces DUI Charges

KBS2's drama 'Prescription for Love', marking Yoo Ho-jung's return to television after 11 years, will be postponed on March 7 due to the World Baseball Classic (WBC) broadcast. Meanwhile, Yoo Ho-jung's husband, Lee Jae-ryong, is under police investigation for fleeing the scene after a DUI accident.

The drama is set to resume on March 8 at 8 PM with its 11th episode, featuring a significant shift in the relationship between Gong Joo-ah (played by Jin Se-yeon) and Yang Hyun-bin (played by Park Ki-woong).

Previously, Gong Joo-ah and Yang Hyun-bin decided to maintain a professional relationship despite their growing feelings. With their families in a dispute over a relocation issue, their romance has hit a roadblock. Viewers are eagerly anticipating the next developments in their complicated relationship.

Recently released stills show Yang Hyun-bin maintaining a strictly professional demeanor, much to Gong Joo-ah's disappointment. As they face the significant obstacle of family discord, tension rises over how they will navigate their precarious relationship.

Yang Hyun-bin receives a mysterious phone call that leaves him momentarily frozen. His surprised expression and the curious gaze of Gong Joo-ah add to the suspense, raising questions about whether this call will spark another change in their relationship.

'Prescription for Love' will air episodes 11 and 12 back-to-back on March 8 at 8 PM.

In other news, Lee Jae-ryong is accused of hitting a central divider with his vehicle near Samsung Jungang Station on Seoul's Subway Line 9 around 2 AM and fleeing the scene. He was apprehended by police after parking his car at his home and visiting a friend's house.

Lee Jae-ryong's blood alcohol level was reportedly at the license suspension threshold. The Seoul Gangnam Police are investigating him for violating the Road Traffic Act (failure to take action after an accident). Lee Jae-ryong previously had his license revoked for DUI in 2003 and was charged with property damage in 2019 for destroying a bowling alley sign while intoxicated.
