Gong Seung Yeon is currently in discussions to star opposite Lee Jun Hyuk in the upcoming romance K-drama Calm Lies. This news has generated excitement among fans who remember the pair from their previous work together on the 2018 sci-fi series Are You Human Too?. The project is an adaptation of a popular web novel of the same name and is already attracting attention for its connections to a wider story universe and its production team’s impressive track record.
Possible Reunion After Eight Years
If Gong Seung Yeon accepts the offer, it will mark a reunion with Lee Jun Hyuk nearly eight years after they worked together on Are You Human Too?. In that 2018 drama, the two actors shared the screen, but their characters were not the central romantic pair. Their potential reunion in Calm Lies is a key point of interest for audiences, who are curious to see the chemistry between the two actors now that they are being considered for leading roles.
The two actors have both built impressive careers since their last project together. Lee Jun Hyuk has gained recognition for roles in dramas like Forest of Secrets and the popular Love Scout. Gong Seung Yeon has continued to take on diverse roles, and her potential casting in Calm Lies is seen as another promising step in her career. Their past collaboration provides a familiar context for viewers, making this upcoming project one to watch.
Details About the Drama “Calm Lies”
Calm Lies is based on a well-known web novel written by author Kim Un Hee. The story is part of a larger narrative universe, sharing a connection with another drama project titled Dating (also known as Iseop’s Love), which is reportedly in the works with actor Lee Jong Suk. This shared universe concept has drawn additional attention, as it creates a bigger world for viewers to explore beyond a single series.
In the drama, Lee Joon Hyuk is expected to play Tae Joon Seop, the grandson of the chairman of the powerful TK Group. His character is described as perfect, possessing impressive skills and a striking appearance that makes him stand out even among his chaebol family. Gong Seung Yeon has reportedly been offered the role of Yeon Woo Kyung, a copywriter who enters the life of Tae Joon Seop. Their meeting is the starting point of the central romance in the story.
