Actors Kim Sejeong and Lee Jong-won will heighten the romance.
ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Intoxicating Romance' (written by Lee Jung-shin, directed by Park Sun-ho) is set to premiere in November. Kim Sejeong and Lee Jong-won portray polar opposites who gradually grow on each other.
Director Park Sun-ho, known for 'Business Proposal' and 'Suspicious Partner,' returns with another romantic comedy. He teams up with emerging writer Lee Jung-shin to deliver a highly addictive romance.
Kim Sejeong plays 'Chae Yong-joo,' a legendary sales queen at a leading beverage company who has conquered the industry with sheer passion. She is likened to a fizzy lager and is known for her steel stamina and mental fortitude, dedicating herself to her organization.
To protect the sales branch she has been with for six years, she undertakes a special mission. She then meets a man who understands her heart better than she does, leading to unexpected changes.
Kim Sejeong reunites with Director Park Sun-ho following 'Business Proposal.' She stated, "As someone who enjoys food and drinks, I was drawn to creating such a fun rom-com centered around beer."
She added, "It's my first rom-com in two years. I'll do my best to convey the feelings I had during filming to the audience."
Lee Jong-won plays 'Yoon Min-joo,' the head brewer and brewery owner who has shaken up the alcoholic beverage industry. Min-joo is akin to a delicate ale, an extremely sensitive character who keenly detects others' emotions.
To avoid emotional overload, he habitually blocks out the world. He lives a quiet life in a peaceful village, brewing beer and focusing on his emotions. Chae Yong-joo, who keeps catching his attention, enters his life.
Lee Jong-won shared, "This is my first attempt at a romantic comedy. I believe I can show a variety of new sides of myself. I hope the viewers look forward to it."
Shin Do-hyun plays 'Bang Ah-ram,' a 'power J' realist planning team manager who competes with Chae Yong-joo for Yoon Min-joo's brewery. Ah-ram is both beautiful and capable, a 'God-life' achiever who meets a formidable rival in Chae Yong-joo.
Shin Do-hyun expressed, "I am grateful to work with such a great director, writer, staff, and fellow actors. The atmosphere on set is always pleasant and harmonious. I hope to quickly share this energy with the viewers."
Baek Sung-chul takes on the role of 'Oh Chan-hwi,' Chae Yong-joo's best friend who drives a toast truck around the country, embodying a free spirit. His witty and cheerful energy is expected to inject vitality into the show.
Baek Sung-chul stated, "I've always wanted to work with Director Park. I achieved my wish with this project. I'm joyfully contemplating how best to portray Chan-hwi and working hard during filming. I hope to receive a lot of love."
'Intoxicating Romance' will premiere on ENA in November and will be simultaneously available on Genie TV.
