Jo Boa questions if Dear Hongrang is Lee Jae-wook

Stoking the fire for Netflix’s mystery-sageuk Dear Hongrang, promos have kicked into full gear with the first poster and teaser, bringing Lee Jae-wook (The Impossible Heir) back into the fold of his supposed family after suddenly disappearing a long 12 years ago.
The trailer for the novel-adaptation begins on that terrible day in the past, flashing back to when the beloved child Hong-rang got separated from his half-sister Jae-yi and couldn’t be found. The Shim family have been desperately searching and waiting ever since. Until, that is, an adult but memory-less Hong-rang (Lee Jae-wook) announces his return in our story’s present day. But when Jae-yi – played by Jo Boa (Destined With You) – rushes over to greet him, just one glance is enough for her to immediately sense that he’s a fake.
With Dad Park Byung-eun (Hyper Knife) being a wealthy merchant, the Shims had encountered many impersonators claiming to be the real deal. And though he welcomes this Hong-rang, Dad ensures to eerily remark on what might happen should this all be a fraud. On the other hand, Mom Eom Ji-won (For Eagle Brothers) is delighted to have her long lost Hong-rang home at last. All the while, adopted son Jung Ga-ram (Gangnam B-Side) and Prince Kim Jae-wook (Melo Movie) seem undecided by the situation.
Jae-yi remains pretty certain, though, that Hong-rang isn’t who he says he is, and her suspicions can only grow when Hong-rang speaks so cryptically. However, following Dad’s instructions to prove himself, the teaser ends with a growling Hong-rang bearing teeth, coming to Jae-yi’s defense.
Directed by PD Kim Hong-sun (Bait, Money Heist – Joint Economic Area) with scripts by Kim Jin-ah (Dr. Brain), Netflix’s Dear Hongrang will have a runtime of twelve episodes and will be launching next month on May 16.
