The collaboration between Han Hyo Joo and Oguri Shun in a romantic comedy is expected to generate significant buzz in both Korea and Japan, given their status as top stars in their respective industries.

Having previously showcased her versatility in projects like the Disney+ series 'Moving' and the Netflix movie 'Believer 2', Han Hyo Joo brings her charm to her first romantic comedy in a while, drawing anticipation from audiences in Korea and Japan alike.

Shun Oguri, renowned for his roles in popular Japanese dramas and films, boasts a substantial fan base not only in Japan but also in Korea, where he gained recognition through dramas like 'GTO' and 'Hana Yori Dango'.
