Anticipation is building among K-drama fans for the historical romance drama 'Hon' (working title), starring actors Kim Go Eun and Kang Dong Won. While specific plot details and official posters are yet to be released, the fresh pairing of the two actors, combined with the collaboration of 'Queen of Tears' writer Park Ji Eun and 'My Mister' director Kim Won Seok, has garnered significant attention since its production phase.
Filming for 'Hon' reportedly began in February. Kang Dong Won has revealed he is growing his hair and undergoing strict diet and exercise to prepare for shirtless scenes in the drama. On Kim Go Eun's set, fellow actors, including Yoo Hae Jin (who co-starred in the film 'Exhuma'), have sent supportive coffee trucks with witty messages. Given both actors' strengths in romance, their synergy within a historical setting is a key point of interest.
Bloggers express high expectations for Kang Dong Won's visual transformation and the combination of Park Ji Eun's engaging dialogue and poignant romantic narrative with Kim Won Seok's delicate direction. They highlight the chemistry between the two leads as a crucial viewing point for the historical romance, underscoring why 'Hon' is considered a highly anticipated drama for 2026.
