Get ready to melt your heart as actor Lee Tae Hwan returns to the K-Drama scene in DNA Lover, his first project after completing his military service!
This TV Chosun weekend miniseries premiering August 17th at 9:10 PM is a unique romantic comedy that explores the world of genetics.
Jung In Sun stars as Han So-jin, a researcher with a string of failed relationships who embarks on a quest to find her perfect match… through DNA!
Enter Lee Tae Hwan as Seo Kang-hoon, a character tailor-made for swooning. He’s a handsome firefighter – honest, upright, and dedicated to both love and his high-pressure job. As part of the Jung In Fire Station’s on-site response team, Seo Kang-hoon tackles blazes and saves lives with unwavering determination. He’s also fiercely loyal and protective, prioritizing Han So-jin’s calls ever since a fateful incident where he couldn’t prevent her father’s suicide.
The newly released teasers offer a glimpse into Kang-hoon’s world. We see Lee Tae Hwan showcasing his strong sense of duty as a rescue worker, his concern etched on his face as he checks on fellow firefighters, and his gentle kindness as he assists an elderly man in need. This combination of rugged heroism and genuine warmth promises to make Seo Kang-hoon a character you can’t help but root for.
Lee Tae Hwan himself is visibly excited about the project. He admits to being captivated by the concept of finding love through DNA, and found the script refreshingly different. He also expressed some initial jitters about his comeback, but the chance to work with a talented director and admired veteran actors ultimately sealed the deal.
The production team echoes Lee Tae-hwan’s enthusiasm, praising his impressive physique, captivating voice, and natural charisma that perfectly embody the role of the swoon-worthy firefighter. They tease a “spectacular acting transformation” as Lee Tae-hwan brings Seo Kang-hoon to life, showcasing both his bravery as a firefighter and the heart-fluttering potential of a true “door boyfriend” (a close, supportive male friend who could blossom into something more).
So, mark your calendars and get ready for a double dose of Lee Tae Hwan’s charm – the hero next door and the potential love interest – in DNA Lover, premiering August 17th!
