Trailers:
The first of the trailers for Park Min-young's series 'Her Private Life' was released recently and it is an introduction to the lead character of the show, Sung Deok-mi (Min-young). She is an art curator at a gallery by day and a professional fan by night who runs a fan page by night.
The second teaser introduced us to the male lead in the series, Kim Jae-wook's character Ryan. He used to be a famous painter but has not stopped painting. He joins Deok-mi's gallery as the new director.
The making of the show video featuring Min-young was released in March and it shows the equation between Deok-mi and Ryan at beginning of the series. It doesn't look like the two get along really well and Ryan is Deok-mi's boss at the art gallery. The show is about how this famous, reserved painter takes an interest in a fangirl's life and where it takes the two lead characters.
