Actor Lee Jonghyuk and
Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung will be working together in a drama. They were
chosen as the lead roles in the upcoming tvN Monday/Tuesday drama, “Dating
Agency: Cyrano”, and will be showing an
unprecedented acting transformation.
“Dating Agency: Cyrano” is
a 16-episode drama based off of the webtoon, “Cyrano Agency”, and is a prequel
to the original “Cyrano: Dating Agency” movie starring Uhm Taewoong and Lee
Minjung. Centered around a “Dating Agency” that helps people who are clumsy
when it comes to dating by making love come true for them, the drama will
unravel stories of love and dating in a pleasant, polished manner.
The role of the leader of
the “Dating Agency”, Seo Byunghoon, will be taken over by Lee Jonghyuk. Though
he’s haughty and ill-tempered, he shows signs of a genius in the theatrical
world and is a famous director. After being guilt-ridden since losing his
friend through an unexpected accident, this character decides to save his
friend’s theater company and begins the uncommon “Dating Agency” business.
Lee Jonghyuk, who has been
showing off a polished, yet friendly image through the drama, “A Gentleman’s
Dignity”, and variety show, “Dad! Where Are You Going?”, is determined to show
a transformation in his acting and will show off charms he hasn’t before.
The loveable main female
character of Gong Minyoung will be played by Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung.
After being acknowledged for her potential as an actress through the drama,
“The Third Hospital”, she will be acting as a couple with Byunghoon (Lee
Jonghyuk), who she always collides with. Sooyoung will be transforming into the
agency’s beautiful member, becoming a helper for people in love.
The role of Cha Seungpyo,
who mysteriously gets tangled up with Lee Jonghyuk and Sooyoung’s characters,
will be played by Lee Chunhee. He will be a mysterious guy who hides his past
and will appear as a charming chef who runs a small restaurant in the building
next to the theater where the dating agency is. Lee Chunhee will rid himself of
his usual image and will be showing off a new character with mysterious charms.
The PD of “Dating Agency:
Cyrano”, Kang Heejun, stated, “We are planning on upgrading the original work’s
ideas, add an angle, and we will show off a romantic comedy people will want to
watch the most this spring. All the actors are inspired to show new, different
acting. You can look forward to it.”
Filming for “Dating
Agency: Cyrano” will start sometime in the middle of this month, and the first
episode is scheduled to air near the end of May, following the end of the
Monday/Tuesday tvN drama, “Nine”.
