The upcoming romance drama Love Scout has me excited for multiple reasons! I’m really looking forward to see Lee Joon Hyuk (Dongjae, The Good Or The Bastard) in a romantic role and a romance story after a long time. Also, I have a fondness for workplace dramas. And this show has a role reversal for the leads as the female lead is the boss and the male lead is the secretary.
Han Ji Min (Behind Your Touch) plays the CEO of a successful headhunter company called Peoplez. She is terrific at her work but is clueless in everything else. Lee Joon Hyuk plays her highly competent secretary who is also a single father. He performs his personal as well as professional tasks efficiently. The drama follows their journey as they start to fall in love. Love Scout also stars Moving‘s Kim Do Hoon as a carefree and rich heir who becomes the Chief Technology Officer at the headhunting firm. Kim Yoon Hye (Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born) rounds out the main cast as a picture book author and a single mother.
The show is penned by the screenwriter of Wonderful World (2024). It is premiering on January 3 in the slot of Friday-Saturday.
