Both Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin were in successful drama relationships last year. Both onscreen relationships were so convincing that fans wanted the actors to date in real life.
And now the actors are considering appearing as an onscreen couple together. He is considering playing a man with a problem. She may play the woman with the cure.
Fans thought that Jo In Sung and Song Hye Kyo made such a great couple in "That Winter The Wind Blows" that they belonged together in real life but shortly after the show ended it was revealed that he was dating actress Kim Min Hee.
When Gong Hyo Jin and So Ji Sub starred together in "The Master's Sun," they had so much comedy chemistry together that fans began to imagine they were also really dating. But no such luck. They became friends and he was later rumored to be dating After School's Jooyeon.
Still, Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin were two of the year's biggest and most relatable stars, partly because of how devotedly fans fell in love with their onscreen characters.
Fortunately, the two actors may have a chance at an onscreen relationship with each other in an upcoming drama, "It's Okay, It's Love."
The drama has been described as the first k-drama to portray the real lives of people with psychological problems. Jo In Sung is the character that gets to have the problem and doctor Gong Hyo Jin will help him cope with it.
Jo In Sung is considering the role of Jang Jae Yeol, a mystery writer and radio disc jockey who has obsessive-compulsive disorder. That's an anxiety disorder that leads to unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors.
His agency, IOK Company, says he has been offered the role and is currently reading the synopsis.
Gong Hyo Jin is considering playing Ji Hye Soo, a one-year fellow in the psychiatry department at a university hospital. She's not very enthusiastic about her calling until she meets Jang Jae Yeol. He motivates her to become better at her chosen career.
Her agency, SOOP Entertainment, says she has also received the script and is looking it over.
Jo In Sung may sign on to this drama just for another chance work with his "That Winter The Wind Blows" director Kim Kyu Tae and the drama's eloquent writer Noh Hee Kyung.
The drama is tentatively set to air in August.
