On the 4th, the production team of the new SBS drama '宇宙메리미' (Astral Love) released stills of Choi Woo-sik as Kim Woo-joo. '宇宙메리미' depicts the sweet and thrilling 90-day fake honeymoon of two individuals aiming to secure a luxurious newlywed home in a giveaway, with the reliable actor Choi Woo-sik and rom-com queen Jung So-min set to showcase romantic synergy in this highly anticipated production.
Choi Woo-sik plays the role of Kim Woo-joo, a promising marketing team leader who was born with a 'golden spoon' in his mouth, and he is set to present a new side of himself. Due to a business relationship with Jung So-min's character, Yoomeri, the representative of the company 'Merry Design', he finds himself in a situation where he becomes her fake husband.
In the released stills, Choi Woo-sik embodies the perfect heir Kim Woo-joo, showcasing an impeccable gaze and sharp judgment that draws the viewers' interest. Scenes of Kim Woo-joo returning to Korea to start his training as a successor and leading meetings as the marketing team leader of Myeongsun-dang create anticipation for Choi Woo-sik’s portrayal of the character.
