Won Ji-ahn is Waiting for Gyung-do Park Seo-joon

Park Seo-joon, Won Ji-ahn
Making headway on preparations for the new series Waiting for Gyung-do, JTBC has announced the rom-com’s main cast, pairing Park Seo-joon (Gyeongseong Creature 2) and Won Ji-ahn (Squid Game 2) to give love another chance, yet again.
As it turns out, our protagonists Lee Gyung-do (Park Seo-joon) and Seo Ji-woo (Won Ji-ahn) have already dated and broken up twice. First at the young age of 20 when they met through their college theater club and a second time eight years later at the age of 28. Life has since moved on and Ji-woo married someone else. However, as they say, third time’s the charm and, now in their 30s, fate swirls up another reunion for our pair.
When we meet our characters in present time, Ji-woo is known to be a troublemaker celeb and Gyung-do is working as an entertainment reporter. He then uncovers a cheating scandal, nabbing a gossip-worthy scoop. But the cheater in question just so happens to be his first love and ex-girlfriend Ji-woo’s husband. And, on her part, Ji-woo isn’t exactly thrilled to meet Gyung-do again during her life’s worst moments – though she does of course sign the papers for divorce.
Thankfully, the stormy Ji-woo can always rely on her doting older sister Lee El (When the Stars Gossip), in the role of Seo Ji-yeon. Calm and collected, with brains and beauty to boot, Ji-yeon is the CEO of their family’s apparel company and is fiercely protective of her younger sister Ji-woo.
In supportive roles, Gyung-do and Ji-woo’s main friend group is rounded out by others from their old college club with art academy director Lee Joo-young (The 8 Show) as the club’s anchor. She’s married to fellow club member and struggling actor Kang Ki-doong (Crash), who is wholeheartedly supported by his wife to follow his passion and dreams. As the glue holding our theater-loving friends together, we have used car dealership owner Jo Min-gook (Melo Movie) as well.
Directed by PD Im Hyung-wook (King the Land) with Yoo Young-ah (Divorce Attorney Shin) penning the scripts, production for JTBC’s Waiting for Gyung-do is currently in filming.
