On May 7, TV Report published an article which announced a cameo appearance of So Ji Sub in the upcoming MBC series, “Warm and Cozy.”
A representative for the series told TV Report, “So Ji Sub participated in filming on May 7. He is friends with the Hong Sisters, which gave the shoot a friendly atmosphere.”
The 37-year-old actor previously worked with the Hong Sisters during the 2013 hit supernatural drama, “Master’s Sun.” “Master’s Sun” was a success, with audiences praising the chemistry between So Ji Sub and Gong Hyo Jin.
“Warm and Cozy” marks the return of the acclaimed scriptwriting team. Hong Mi Ran and Hong Jung Eun comprise the sibling writing team, who are renown for their intricate plots and successful dramas. “Warm and Cozy” will also join the sisters with producer Park Hong Kyun. The trio worked together on the 2011 series, “The Greatest Love,” which starred Gong Hyo Jin and Cha Seung Won.
The Hong Sisters successfully launched their careers in 2005 with the pan-Asian hit, “Delightful Girl Choon Hyang.” They continued their momentum with the Hallyu classic, “My Girl,” the 2005 series which helped bolster the careers of Lee Dong Wook, Lee Da Hae and Lee Joon Gi. The screenwriting duo continued to receive accolades for their dramas and were responsible for the Hallyu hit, “You’re Beautiful,” which launched the careers of Park Shin Hye, Jang Geun Suk, CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa and FTISLAND’s Lee Hong Ki.
“Warm and Cozy,” which is also referred to as “Agreeably Warm” focuses on a couple who seeks solace from the frantic pace of city life by running a small cafe on Jeju Island.
Kang So Ra, who recently received praise for “Misaeng,” stars as Lee Jung Joo. Jung Joo was a dedicated worker in the fashion industry until she experienced job loss due to downsizing. She loses her boyfriend and her house, in addition to her job. With nothing left to lose, she travels to Jeju Island, with hopes to begin a new life.
Yoo Yeon Seok portrays Baek Geon Woo, a hopeless romantic, who is the owner of the Warm and Cozy cafe. Jung Joo gradually falls in love with Geon Woo, after initially mistaking him for a con-artist.
“Warm and Cozy” premieres on MBC on May 13 in the time slot previously occupied by “Angry Mom.”
