The Characters:
Lee Ui-young (Han Ji-min) - Devoted to her work, Ui-young dreams of romantic love on the other side of her everyday life. And one day on a blind date, she meets two completely different men, each attractive in his own way. As her love triangle with the two deepens, Ui-young begins to rethink what love truly is and what it means to move toward something as real and profound as family.
Song Tae-Seop (Park Sung-hoon) - Song Tae-seop is Ui-young’s first blind date. At first, he just seems like a considerate and steady man… until he abruptly brings up marriage on their very first date. Smitten with her at first sight, he starts breaking his own rules and routines without even realizing it. He has never once doubted love or marriage. But if Ui-young isn’t ready, he’s determined to embrace even her fears and uncertainties—just as they are.
Shin Ji-su (Lee Ki-taek) - Ui-young’s second blind date, Ji-su shows up under a false identity, filling in for someone else. Though she feels deceived at first, his sincere apology wins her over. Bold and impulsive, this younger man shatters all of Ui-young’s rules—while she, in turn, changes his once playful view of love.
Blind dates seem like the most efficient way to meet someone. So Ui-yeong, still single despite yearning for love, decides to seek romance through blind dates. After a few attempts, two very different men step into her life—Tae-seop, quietly attentive, and Ji-su, playful and refreshing—leading her on an unexpected journey toward understanding what love truly means.
Jung Geon Hwa - An exceptionally adept and seasoned dealer who has lived a life far removed from the vices of the casino floor. Geon Hwa finds her life upended when a housing scam derails her newlywed plans. Forced into the underworld she’s avoided, she unleashes the full extent of her powers to the test.
Hwang Chi Su - Living hand to mouth, Chi Su survives by gambling with whatever cash he can scrounge at casinos — until he joins Geon Hwa’s dangerous plan.
Jo Jun - A casino player who turns the tables. Armed with razor-sharp skills and an impenetrable poker face, Jo Jun dominates the casino tables, raising the tension at every turn.
Choi U Seung — A detective and Geon Hwa’s fiancé. Gentle and affectionate with Geon Hwa, U Seung shows a very different side at work: a relentless detective who never lets a suspect slip away.
Scheduled to release December of 2026Kinda interesting because filming for S1 was from June 12th, 2020 to February…
Also for S1, worth noting that they had to work around covid restrictions which definitely made filming and post-production more difficult and extensive
Kinda interesting because filming for S1 was from June 12th, 2020 to February 14th, 2021 but it didn't release until January 28th, 2022. Filming is due to finish mid-February so December is possible but i'd kinda expect Q1 of 2027 as more likely tbh because of the post-production expected timeline (Not confirmed, subject to change)
