KBS2 TV’s upcoming weekend series teases fans with a poster featuring the lead stars.
Scheduled to air for the first time on March 23, Beauty and the Devoted tells the story of a top actress who falls rock bottom overnight and a rookie drama producer who loves her and helps her get up from that slump.
First, Im Soo Hyang plays the role of Park Do-ra, a top actress who was taken by her mother when she was young and has built up her filmography through hardships since she was a child.
Do-ra is a person who worked as an actress for 15 years and took care of her family as the breadwinner. Just as she is growing tired of living a life like a money-making machine, she meets Go Pil-seung (Ji Hyun Woo), the youngest assistant director, on the set of a drama and encounters unexpected events.
Ji Hyun Woo plays the role of Go Pil-seung, a feisty novice drama producer with a wild dream of success. He is sturdy and kind-hearted, so he has no hesitation in flattering people when necessary. For him, love and dating are not the top priorities in his life, but he gets caught up in a confusing incident when he becomes involved with Do-ra on the set of his drama.
Beauty and the Devoted is a collaboration between writer Kim Sa-kyung, who wrote the hugely popular Young Lady and Gentleman, My Only One, and Blow Breeze. This is the second collaboration between director Hong Seok-gu, who directed My Only One, Girl’s Generation 1979, and Homemade Love Story.
In the unveiled poster, Im Soo Hyang and Ji Hyun Woo are laughing as they each hold a photo of their young selves putting together the torn parts.
Im Soo-hyang’s bright expression and Ji Hyun-woo’s soft eyes intersect to create excitement, and attention is drawn to the change in the relationship between the two people as their briefly broken past relationship overcomes fate. Above all, the expectations of prospective drama fans are rising for the chemistry that the lead pairing will portray.
The production team said, “The two main characters in the two-person poster show a relationship where top star Dora is swayed by the inevitable. The torn photo shows the relationship between the two that was broken for a while, which will be put together predicting the story of overcoming a harsh fate and protecting love. It means their ‘pure innocence’. Please show a lot of interest in the romance between the two people, who are showing more sparkling chemistry than ever before.”
Beauty and the Devoted is scheduled to air for the first time on Saturday, March 23rd at 7:55 PM.
