Kim So Hyun and Choo Young Woo Star in ENA Drama 'Love Professor' Premiering Soon

In Korea, significant attention is on the upcoming ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Love Professor,' starring actors Kim So Hyun and Choo Young Woo, which is set to premiere on October 5th. The two actors, both born in 1999, will portray a youth romance where their characters meet in a robot research lab and gradually fall in love. Their natural chemistry is highlighted as a key viewing point for the series.

The drama 'Love Professor' tells the story of Park Min-jae (Choo Young Woo), a Ph.D. student in robotics, and Im Yu-jin (Kim So Hyun), a master's student. Min-jae is brilliant and handsome but awkward in romance, carrying the pain of losing his dream as a swimmer before turning to robotics. Yu-jin, adrift in her career path, enters the robot lab and falls for Min-jae at first sight, pursuing him directly. This drama is the final work of director Ahn Pan-seok, known for 'Secret Love Affair' and 'Something in the Rain,' and will consist of 12 episodes, also available on Disney+.

Bloggers express anticipation for Kim So Hyun's solid acting, built since her child actor days, and her chemistry with Choo Young Woo. They particularly note the expectation for a redemptive romance where young individuals with their own pains and scars gradually connect, suggesting it will be a deep melodrama rather than a simple campus story. The growth of the two protagonists and the evolution of their relationship are considered central to the drama's appeal.
