Actor Kim Ji-seok is reportedly joining as Kim So-yeon’s co-star, signaling her first small-screen comeback in two years.
According to News1 on the 21st, Kim Ji-seok will star in JTBC’s new drama Discovery of Love.
Discovery of Love is a romance series about a divorced couple who end up living in a shared house and, by chance, working at the same hotel—slowly rediscovering each other along the way. Earlier on the 7th, news broke that Kim So-yeon was confirmed for the project. With two trusted, scene-stealing actors reuniting as an on-screen divorced couple, viewers are already curious to see what kind of undeniable chemistry they’ll deliver.
Adding to the buzz, the casting news dropped on April 21—which also happens to be Kim Ji-seok’s birthday—making fans even more excited.
Netizens are reacting passionately, saying, “It’s Kim Ji-seok’s birthday today—what a double celebration with the casting news,” and “I can already tell he’ll play a husband who gets whipped into shape by Kim So-yeon—sounds fun already,” as anticipation for the broadcast builds.
Meanwhile, Kim Ji-seok has been keeping busy across TV and streaming. He’s also set to release his Netflix film Husbands in Action later this year.
