JTBC’s highly anticipated weekend drama Efficient Dating for Singles (LT) is gearing up to deliver a playful yet heartfelt look at modern romance, offering “efficient love” to anyone dreaming of finding their match.
Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, the series tells the story of a woman determined to fall in love, who goes on blind dates with two men of completely different charms, finds herself drawn to both, and ultimately discovers what love really means.
The drama is led by an ensemble of rising and established stars: Han Ji Min as Lee Eui-yeong, Park Sung Hoon as Song Tae-seop, Lee Ki-taek as Shin Ji-soo, Jung Hye Sung as Jung Hyun-min, and Kim So Hye as Shim Sae-byeok. The recent script reading gave fans their first glimpse of the cast’s dynamic chemistry, showcasing how the characters’ relationships will bring warmth, humor, and emotional depth to the screen.
Han Ji Min immediately set the tone for the reading, delivering a lively and nuanced performance as Lee Eui-yeong—a woman at the top of her professional game but still navigating the uncertainties of romance. With her signature warmth and expressive charm, she captured the determination and vulnerability of a character ready to break free from her romantic rut and approach love with confidence and sincerity.
Opposite her, Park Sung Hoon embodied Song Tae-seop, Eui-yeong’s blind date partner, with a calm, gentle presence that exudes both reliability and inner strength. His portrayal brought a comforting warmth to the scene, highlighting the quiet yet undeniable appeal of his character.
Meanwhile, Lee Ki Taek as Shin Ji-soo added a playful, unpredictable energy, portraying a free-spirited younger man whose charm complicates Eui-yeong’s romantic journey and keeps viewers intrigued about which path she will choose.
The supporting cast also impressed during the reading, adding texture and relatability to the workplace environment. Jung Hye-sung’s Jung Hyun-min, with her open-minded, cheerful personality, brought a lively spark to every scene, while Kim So Hye’s Shim Sae-byeok captured the awkward sincerity of a young professional just starting out, balancing humor and heart in her interactions with the main characters.
