Jung Yong-hwa returns to romantic dramas in new series

Jung Yong-hwa, lead singer of the South Korean band CNBLUE, has returned to the romantic drama genre for the first time in nine years with the series ‘Boundless You’. Starring alongside Hong Seung-hee, Jung plays Um Tae-pung, a top star known as a romantic drama god who famously avoids filming kiss scenes.

Behind-the-scenes footage from the first two episodes shows Jung performing intense action sequences, including repeatedly striking a wall during fight scenes, which resulted in his leather jacket being torn. To portray the character's lack of musical talent, Jung also intentionally sang off-key while performing IU’s classic song ‘Good Day’.

The plot follows the interaction between Jung’s character and Hong’s character, a chaebol heiress who suffers from memory loss and believes she is a bodyguard from one of his dramas. The series premiered on October 24.
