TV Chosun’s “DNA Lover” has revealed key highlights to watch for!
“DNA Lover” is a new romantic comedy starring Jung In Sun as Han So Jin, a genetic researcher who has been through countless failed relationships. As she searches for her destined partner through genes, she winds up becoming entangled with sensitive obstetrician Shim Yeon Woo (Super Junior’s Choi Siwon).
Before its premiere, “DNA Lover” unveiled three reasons to look forward to the drama!
Breaking the traditional with “DNA Lover”
“DNA Lover” is an engaging romantic comedy with a unique twist: it suggests that DNA reveals the secrets of fate and love. This new series represents a major expansion of the TV Chosun drama universe, breaking traditional genre and generational barriers. TV Chosun has already shown its versatility with popular family dramas such as “Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce)” Seasons 1 through 3, “Uncle,” and “Red Balloon” as well as fantasy romance drama “Durian’s Affair” and the psychological thriller “My Happy Ending.” With “DNA Lover,” TV Chosun aims to offer a fresh romantic comedy that connects with viewers across generations and evokes deep emotional responses.
The unique concept of fantasy-inspired romantic comedy
“DNA Lover” redefines the romance genre with its imaginative concept that DNA shapes fate. This new take on romantic comedies sets itself apart with a distinctive approach. The series contrasts the cynical Shim Yeon Woo, who dismisses the idea of fate, with Han So Jin, a firm believer in DNA’s role in destiny. Their differing views on love drive the plot, offering a blend of surprising twists and humor.
Director Sung Chi Wook enhances the show’s visual appeal with vibrant CGI (computer-generated imagery) and special effects that bring the concept of DNA to life. This dynamic visual style creates a unique experience for viewers. The series also impresses with its beautiful settings and witty dialogue, heightening anticipation for this engaging romantic comedy.
The cast’s acting transformation
Actors Choi Siwon, Jung In Sun, Lee Tae Hwan, and Jung Yoo Jin take on transformative roles in “DNA Lover,” creating dynamic on-screen synergy. Choi Siwon stars as Shim Yeon Woo, a gruff yet caring obstetrician, making a strong return to romantic comedy. Jung In Sun plays Han So Jin, an enthusiastic researcher who undergoes a dramatic makeover.
Lee Tae Hwan, making his return to acting after military service, plays Seo Kang Hoon, a dedicated and attractive firefighter who remains committed in both love and work. Jung Yoo Jin takes on the role of Jang Mi Eun, a relationship columnist whose portrayal of polyamory and non-exclusive dating adds depth and intrigue to the series.
The production team said, “TV Chosun dramas have always pushed boundaries, and this will be their first foray into romantic comedy. Viewers can expect a fresh and innovative take on the genre.” They added, “TV Chosun’s romantic comedy will offer a unique and novel approach, opening up a new world of romantic comedies.”
“DNA Lover” will premiere on August 17 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
