News about upcoming MBC romance drama is set in stone, starring South Korean actor and actress Ji Hyun Woo and Kim So Eun. The new series is said to have the literal title, "Can't Be Bothered to Date, But Don't Want to be Lonely!"
The drama depicts the story of two people in their youth who are in a co-living situation. They are young and seeking a romantic relationship, yet at the same time, do not want such relationship to prevent each other from living a full and uncaged life because they see serious romantic relationships as burden. They want their freedom, yet they also do not want to be lonely.
"Can't Be Bothered to Date, But Don't Want to be Lonely!" is set to portray people in their 20s who are yet to discover themselves and navigate their way through life and love.
Ji Hyun Woo will play Cha Kang Woo, a handsome psychiatrist who is curious about humans and how they behave, yet is quite frightful of expressing himself when it comes to significant others. He has fondness for causing trouble, and he also gets to do whatever he pleases.
Ji Hyun Woo speaks whatever is on his mind and is spontaneous. However, because of a traumatic experience, he stops and actively avoids starting new relationships with other people.
Luckily, this all stops when he meets a woman and changes everything he knew about love.
On the other hand, Kim So Eun will be Lee Na Eun, a freelance copy editor who shows foul behavior to people who have a bad attitude, and shows kindness to people who are equally good. She used to have a job for a newspaper, working as a contract worker. However, after failing to renew her contract, she got fired.
Lee Na Eun strongly believes that she will get to write her own book and become a novelist one day. Due to a rough and problematic life, she has put into a halt the bliss of dating and meeting people who may potentially be her other half.
However, this all changes when she meets a man in the house that she is co-living in. Things spark and romantic feelings arise as they live under one roof.
Jin Hyun Woo and Kim So Eun are the perfect pair to play the roles of Cha Kang Woo and Lee Na Eun. The actor is much known for his impressive drama portfolio and the wide number of dramas he has starred in. His top works include "Angry Mom," "Queen In Hyun's Man," "Wanted," "The Awl," and "Good Thief Bad Thief."
