Korean media reported on July 3 that Yoo Yeon Seok and Seo Hyun Jin were invited to play the main roles in the project "Liar".
The story revolves around Min Joon Ho - a cardiovascular surgeon and Kang Ji Seon - a modern dance teacher at an art high school. After a seemingly perfect first date, Joon Ho and Ji Seon are suddenly caught up in an incident where the truth and lies are intertwined.
Accordingly, Seo Hyun Jin was offered the female lead role of Ji Seon, while Yoo Yeon Seok is considering playing Joon Ho. Although new in the discussion stage, "Liar" received a lot of expectations, because if the two stars accepted, this would be the project marking the first reunion of the duo after 8 years since the movie "The Doctor".
In 2017, the medical drama received a lot of love from the audience when it had a talented cast, attractive content, and real scenes in the operating room. In addition, the ethical issues in the medical industry and life philosophy hidden behind each line are plus points. Thanks to that, the film "The Doctor" recorded a high rating, reaching 27.6%.
After the film, Yoo Yeon Seok and Seo Hyun Jin's names increased, giving them many new opportunities in their careers. At present, she is a "heavyweight" candidate for the Best Actress award for Blue Dragon for this year's Best Actress with Park Eun Bin from "The Danger Spear", IU - from "When Life Is for You", Hyeri - from "Friendly Competition" and Cha Joo Young - from "Queen Wong Yeong".
In addition, in December this year, the movie Love Me starring Seo Hyun Jin is expected to air. The work is a remake of a Swedish film, telling the story of a somewhat selfish but empathy-oriented family - where each member begins their own journey of love and self-development.
In the film, Seo Hyun Jin plays obstetrician and gynecologist Seo Joon Kyung - a single woman who seems to have everything from a successful career to a beautiful appearance, but deep inside, she is an extremely lonely person.
After fleeing a broken family after a sudden accident 7 years ago, she is hiding a secret. To keep that, she tries to live confidently. In this journey, Joon Kyung finds a man who understands her loneliness.
Meanwhile, Yoo Yeon Seok is appearing on the entertainment show Whenever Possible. At the end of 2024, he caused a stir on the screen when he played the role of CEO Baek Sa Eon in the movie When the Phone Rings.
Although there are some limitations in content, the good interaction between Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin scores points. In intimate scenes, the two delight viewers through their body language.
