Japan’s viral “Thousand-Year Idol” Kanna Hashimoto is teaming up with Korean heartthrob Chae Jong Hyeop in a brand-new project — and fans can’t stop talking.
On the 26th, Japan’s leading OTT platform ABEMA unveiled a poster and trailer for its drama The Rules of Vacation, featuring the two stars together for the first time.
The story follows Hoshino Midori (played by Kanna Hashimoto), who escapes her exhausting daily grind for an out-of-the-ordinary beachside getaway — only to meet a mysterious caretaker, Nishigami (played by Chae Jong Hyeop). As sparks fly, she rediscovers life’s precious moments in this sizzling midsummer “detox romance.”
Netizens reacted with mixed views, saying things like "The hair looks weird," "I like both, but they don’t match," "The height difference worries me," "I love the female lead," "Looks fun," and "The project seems promising."
Meanwhile, The Rules of Vacation is set to premiere on July 27, with new episodes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8 p.m.
