the director, go hyejin, said at the press conference that she didn’t include any romantic angles for this drama. this adaptation is quite different from the source material, and there’s no romance in that.

i’m already enjoying this! my weekends will be so much fun!

then don't watch it...? LOL.

yes!

press conference this afternoon!

i really don't get the obsession with romance, especially the expectations for that in a drama with no romance tag at all. junyoung has romance dramas that they can watch instead, lol.

the corporate and fantasy elements are similar but the overall premise is very different!

yeah. i just keep seeing so many different takes like this when the drama isn’t even out yet. the plot may 100% be chairman kang trying to act younger since he got transported into a young man’s body, but lee junyoung also mentioned that he studied son hyunjoo’s acting for this role, so chairman kang’s actual personality will come out at times. like you said, let’s wait and see!

more highlights!

the chairman himself seems very booming and hot-tempered, lol.

according to k-media articles from august 2025, junyoung's role is a special appearance, but he's listed in the main credits now? hope we get more details soon!

you kinda saw the future! yeeun will be on the new episode of please take care of my refrigerator with junyoung!

the only similarities are the fantasy elements and the corporate settings, since the original novel author loves writing that. the plots are entirely different.
