Before the premiere, all eyes are already on the child actor stealing the spotlight in the cohabitation-and-parenting romance led by actors Roh Jeong-eui and Bae In-hyuk.
Set to premiere this February, tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama Our Universe tells the chaotic, laugh-out-loud story of two soon-to-be in-laws whose relationship gets tangled from the start, only to end up suddenly raising a 20-month-old nephew, Woo-joo (played by Park Yoo-ho), under one roof.
Bae In-hyuk plays Seon Tae-hyung, a total rookie at childcare. He's a professional camera assistant, but when it comes to looking after his nephew Woo-joo, he's hilariously clumsy and every bit the real-life newbie caregiver. Roh Jeong-eui takes on the role of job-seeker Woo Hyun-jin, who unexpectedly steps into the grueling world of childcare alongside her in-law Seon Tae-hyung.
On the 22nd, after stills of Woo Hyun-jin caring for her nephew Woo-joo were released, netizens reacted with comments like "I'm tuning in live just to see Woo-joo," "Too cute it makes my heart ache," and "A truly harmless presence," sending interest in the child character Woo-joo soaring.
Viewers can check out the chemistry among Bae In-hyuk, Roh Jeong-eui, and child actor Park Yoo-ho when the show airs on February 4 at 10:40 p.m.
