She Would Never Know
- Jan 18 | JTBC
- Streaming Site: iQIYI
Chronicling the world of a marketing team, She Would Never Know feature stories of cosmetic company product promoters.
Sharp and with a strong personality, Won Jin Ah (Melting Me Softly) plays Yoon Song Ah, a third-year marketer. Unlike her gentle appearance, her unfazed attitude pushes her firm leadership. She also only wears pink lipstick.
Loved for his role in Extraordinary You, Kim Rowoon transforms to the role of rookie marketer Chae Hyeon-seung. His handsome visual induces love-at-first-sight plus his personality is as endearing as lovable.
Aiming for “the hoobae who will be loved by female sunbaes“, Rowoon’s synergy to Won Jin Ah is expected to delight drama fans.
