If you are upset that 'Start-Up' is almost coming to an end, you might be happy to realize that Netflix has another romantic Korean drama premiering just days after the 'Start-Up' finale. And even better -- it's none other than Ji Chang-wook and Kim Ji-won who will lead the story. 'Lovestruck in the City' might just be what you need as 2020 comes to a close. Read on to know more about the drama.
Release date
'Lovestruck in the City' premieres on Netflix on Tuesday, December 8. It is expected that the episodes will air weekly.
Plot
'Lovestruck in the City' is a realistic portrayal of young people who pursue romance and happiness while struggling to get by in a busy, competitive urban environment. Park Jae Won is an honest man, a passionate architect, and an admirer of city alleyways. His hobby is collecting more hobbies. A romantic at heart, he cannot forget a certain woman.
This thief of his heart and his camera had disappeared like a fleeting midsummer night’s dream. Lee Eun Oh is an ordinary woman who temporarily reinvents herself as the spontaneous and free-spirited Yun Seon Ah. She takes off to a remote place on an impulse and falls in love with Jae-won under this new identity.
The drama also features other characters who fall in love through the course of the season. Choi Kyung Joon (Kim Min-seok) seems cynical to the rest of the world but is romantic when it comes to his girlfriend Seo Rin Yi (So Joo-yeon), a klutzy girl who is lovable despite her quirks. Kang Geon (Ryu Kyung-soo) is a man who chooses the bachelor life.
