Park Seo Joon is making his return to romantic comedy television with the upcoming drama “Surely Tomorrow,” generating significant excitement following the release of new behind-the-scenes content. The series pairs Park Seo Joon with actress Won Ji-an, telling the story of former lovers who unexpectedly reunite years after their breakup. Scheduled to premiere in December 2025 on JTBC, the show will also be available for global audiences on Prime Video.
The Story of Second Chances
“Surely Tomorrow” is a romantic comedy that follows the complicated relationship between Lee Gyeong-do (Park Seo Joon) and Seo Ji-woo (Won Ji-an). The two characters first fell in love at the age of 20, rekindled their relationship at 28, and ultimately broke up. Years later, fate brings them together again under complicated circumstances.
Lee Gyeong-do works as a reporter and deputy manager of the entertainment department at Dongwoon Daily newspaper. His routine life is disrupted when he is assigned to cover a celebrity affair scandal. To his surprise, the wife of the man at the center of the scandal is none other than his ex-girlfriend, Seo Ji-woo. This unexpected reunion sets the stage for a story that mixes romance and humor as these former lovers navigate their complicated feelings and new situation.
Park Seo Joon as the Everyday Reporter
Park Seo Joon’s character marks a shift from some of his previous roles. Released stills show Lee Gyeong-do as an ordinary office worker, often seen heading home after work with his tie slightly loosened. His character checks his phone for the latest news even after hours, portraying the weariness of daily work life.
In one image, Lee Gyeong-do appears disheveled and conflicted, sitting alone in a restaurant holding a bottle of soju. This contrasts with his usual composed demeanor, suggesting an emotional struggle that has disrupted his normally stable life. The visuals hint at an unexpected twist that shakes the foundation of his character’s existence.
Behind the Scenes Chemistry
A recently released behind-the-scenes video offered fans a first look at the chemistry between the two leads. The clip shows Park Seo Joon and Won Ji-an sharing playful moments on set, including scenes of them riding a carousel together and waltzing in the middle of a street. Their comfortable interactions suggest a strong connection that translates well to their characters’ relationship.
The video also featured other cast members, including Lee El, Lee Joo Young, Kang Ki Doong, and Jo Min Guk, who play members of a theater club in the series. The atmosphere on set appeared warm and collaborative, with the actors discussing scripts and sharing smiles during breaks.
At the drama’s first script reading, Park Seo Joon anchored the story as Lee Gyeong-do, while Won Ji-an brought energy to her role as the spirited Seo Ji-woo. The actors were noted for capturing both the sweet moments of a couple in love and the delicate, complex emotions of former lovers reuniting after a painful separation.
Park Seo Joon said in the behind-the-scenes clip: “The wait for Gyeong-do is almost over. See you soon!”
A Proven Creative Team
“Surely Tomorrow” brings together experienced talent behind the camera. The series is directed by Lim Hyun-wook, known for his work on “Reflection of You” and the popular romantic comedy “King the Land.” The script comes from writer Yoo Young-ah, who previously wrote “Encounter,” “Thirty-Nine,” and “Divorce Attorney Shin.”
This combination of a director skilled in romantic storytelling and a writer known for creating compelling character-driven narratives suggests a high-quality production. The collaboration between these established creatives and the talented cast has generated considerable anticipation for the series.
Park Seo Joon’s Return to Rom-Com
The drama marks Park Seo Joon’s confirmed return to romantic comedy, a genre where he has previously found success with shows like “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim,” “Fight for My Way,” and “She Was Pretty.” His most recent drama was “Gyeongseong Creature” (2023-2024), making “Surely Tomorrow” his next project and a comeback to the lighthearted genre that first brought him widespread recognition.
For Won Ji-an, the series continues her rising profile following appearances in “If You Wish Upon Me” and other projects. Her casting alongside one of Korea’s most popular leading men represents a significant opportunity to reach wider audiences.
Global Availability and Release
International fans will be able to watch “Surely Tomorrow” on Prime Video in select territories around the world. The series is scheduled to premiere on JTBC in December 2025, airing every Saturday and Sunday at 22:30 (KST). While the exact release date remains unconfirmed, the drama is set to join JTBC’s lineup for the second half of 2025.
The combination of a popular genre, star power, and an experienced production team has positioned “Surely Tomorrow” as one of the more anticipated Korean dramas heading into 2026. As more promotional content is released, including the 35-second teaser that initially sparked fan excitement, expectations continue to build for this story of love, timing, and second chances.
