Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won's anticipated collaboration has finally become a reality as they commence filming for the new drama 'Polaris'.
This marks their first project together, igniting excitement and curiosity among fans worldwide.
'Polaris' is a story about spies who have lost their identities and are on a journey to rediscover themselves. The drama reunites director Kim Hee-won and writer Jung Seo-kyung, the dynamic duo behind the 2022 hit tvN drama 'Little Women', promising another masterpiece with their fantastic synergy.
The anticipation for Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won's on-screen partnership has been building, especially after a drama staff member shared a photo of the two with a caption indicating the first day of shooting on March 25th on personal SNS. With both actors known for their success in driving high viewership, topicality, and global popularity in their projects, the announcement of their joint appearance has sparked immense anticipation from audiences around the globe.
Adding to the buzz, a post by Jun Ji-hyun's mother-in-law, designer Lee Jung-woo, captured from a celebrity news outlet last year, hinted at this "legendary combination" meeting in a spy melodrama. Her enthusiastic support for 'Polaris' showcased her excitement for the project.
The excitement around 'Polaris' centers on Jun Ji-hyun and Kang Dong-won themselves. Remarkably, this drama marks Kang Dong-won's return to television after nearly 20 years, with his last TV drama being SBS's 'Magic' which ended in 2004. For Jun Ji-hyun, it's her first drama project since tvN's 'Jirisan' in 2021. The synergy between Kang Dong-won and Jun Ji-hyun is highly anticipated, promising an unparalleled experience for viewers.
With just the casting news alone generating significant buzz, 'Polaris' is poised to be an unprecedented drama. Fans are eagerly awaiting how the show will unveil itself through upcoming promotions, satisfying their curiosity and expectations.
Cool! I'm looking forward to it.
