Earlier in the week it was reported that Hwang Jung Eum and Yun Jung Hoon would co-star in the upcoming drama "Endless Love." It was assumed by many fans that they would play characters that were in love with each other.
That's true. But there will be a triangle in this drama and lucky Hwang Jung Eum will have two actors competing for her affection. Jung Kyung Ho's agency Fantagio reported yesterday that he has been confirmed as a lead in the new drama.
He will play Han Kwang Chul, a man who has loved his older brother's ex-girlfriend since they were young.
Yun Jung Hoon is still in talks with the drama's producer but he is considering the role of the older brother who once dated but lost Hwang Jung Eum's character.
The two brothers are very different.
Jung Kyung Ho's character is a poor student, has a bad temper and a reputation for getting into fights. Yun Jung Hoon's character has a better personality but that does not stop him from breaking up with Hwang Jung Eum's character. What are the odds that he will regret breaking up with her once he learns that his brother loves her?
Hwang Jung Eum plays an ambitious career woman.
The 50-episode weekend drama will be set in the 1980s, with the story playing out against the political and economic events of the decade. Jung Kyung Ho has appeared in the dramas. "Time Between Dog and Wolf," "Ja Myung Go," "Smile You" and the noir crime drama "Cruel City." He appeared in Ha Jung Woo's comic film "Fasten Your Seatbelt" and has a role in the 2014 film "Manhole."

Cha In Pyo, last seen in the film My Boy" and the drama "I Need A Fairy" is considering the role of a power-hungry general in "Endless Love." Ryu Soo Young has already signed on to the drama. He will play a cruel ambitious man who was born in poverty.
