The highly anticipated South Korean adaptation of the Swedish romance drama Love Me has generated buzz with casting discussions involving Seo Hyun Jin, Jang Ryul, and TWICE‘s Dahyun. This upcoming drama explores themes of loneliness, relationships, and personal growth, centering on characters dealing with internal struggles despite leading seemingly successful lives.
Seo Hyun Jin, Jang Ryul, and Dahyun Eyed for Lead Roles in Love Me
According to reports on November 5, 2024, Seo Hyun Jin and Jang Ryul are in talks to headline Love Me. If confirmed, Seo Hyun Jin will portray Seo Jun Kyung, a highly skilled gynecologist and obstetrician whose outwardly perfect life conceals deep-seated loneliness. Known for her poised and accomplished image, Jun Kyung finds herself evolving as she navigates unexpected relationships, with Joo Do Hyun, a music director potentially played by Jang Ryul, emerging as her love interest.
The addition of TWICE’s Dahyun to the cast has further heightened fan interest. The popular K-pop star, who recently debuted in acting with two films, You Are the Apple of My Eye and Sprint, is reportedly in talks to play Yoon Sol, a popular dance crew leader known for her charisma and dependability. If Dahyun confirms, Love Me will mark her first-ever K-drama role, bringing an exciting new dimension to her blossoming acting career.
