Ji Soo distances herself from brother's controversy, attorney issues statement
Lee Jong Suk and Lee Jun Hyuk have been confirmed to star in new dramas sharing the same universe.
On February 23, ACE FACTORY stated, "Lee Jong Suk will be starring in Iseop's Romance, and Lee Jun Hyuk will be playing the lead in A Casual Lie."
Iseop's Romance and A Casual Lie are being adapted from popular novels by author Kim Eon Hee. Because the two contain the narratives of different protagonists within the same universe, the live-action series adaptations will also share that connection.
Iseop's Romance follows Tae Yi Seop, a third-generation chaebol heir who's perfect at everything yet clueless when it comes to relationships, and Kang Min Kyung, an ace known as TK Group's "secret weapon".
A Casual Lie tells the story of Tae Jun Seop — the grandson of TK Group chairman Tae Shi Hwan, and widely regarded as the "perfect man from a chaebol family" — and copywriter Yeon Woo Kyung, who get entangled in the TK Group succession battle.
Lee Jong Suk will lead Iseop's Romance, while Lee Jun Hyuk will headline A Casual Lie. The two stories share the same universe, connected through TK Group and the familial ties between cousins Tae Yi Seop and Tae Jun Seop.
The series will reportedly be produced by Bon Factory, known for titles such as Lovely Runner and What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, alongside Ace Factory — which produced the Stranger Season 2 — and A-Man Media. Because the two projects share the same universe, they are planned to be developed simultaneously, with plans to commence filming within the year.
