"The 4th love revolution" sparks a fluttering revolution in viewers' hearts.
The 4th love revolution, directed by Yoon Sung-ho and Han In-mi and written by Song Hyun-joo and Kim Hong-gi of the creative collective "Songpyeon," which will be released on Wavve in the second half of 2025, released on the 11th a script reading scene that evoked excitement with the cheerful synergy of trending young actors.
The 4th love revolution is a bold and audacious youth romance that unfolds when a rootless college merger turns the computer engineering department and the modeling major into the same faculty. The New Normal love comedy between Kang Min-hak (played by Kim Yo-han), an influencer-model at the top of the dating market, and Joo Yeon-san (played by Hwang Beom-byul), who is top of her class academically but at the bottom in dating, stimulates fluttering feelings. Director Yoon Sung-ho, loved for his stylish direction in the drama Way Back Love, Top Management, and the film Galaxy Liberation Front, and director Han In-mi, who led sensational buzz with the drama The trend is yuri and the film Everyone's Lover, co-directed. In particular, the creative collective Songpyeon, which includes lively new writers such as Song Hyun-joo of the drama Way Back Love and Kim Hong-gi of the film Extreme Festival, participated in the script, further stimulating expectations. In addition, The 4th love revolution, selected for the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) OTT-focused content production support project, is produced by Storymob and Binge Works, guaranteeing its completeness.
At the script reading, directors Yoon Sung-ho and Han In-mi, along with actors Kim Yo-han, Hwang Beom-byul, Kwon Young-eun, Minseo, Heo Jeong-do, Lim Seong-gyun, Kang Shin, Lee Joon-hyuk, Woo Ji-hyun, and Lee Ji-hye — actors armed with distinctive characters — gathered in one place and gave passionate performances.
First, Kim Yo-han portrayed Kang Min-hak, a model major who became a "hot" celebrity after appearing on a dating show and gathering a million followers, raising expectations for another acting transformation. Kang Min-hak, who makes everyone turn their heads even with a passing glance, is a character with a charm that seems to defy gravity and attract those around him. Contrary to his meticulously handsome appearance, his mind is simple without detail, a surprising twist. Kim Yo-han fully immersed himself in the "national male friend" Kang Min-hak character, displaying fresh and thrilling charm that drew admiration.
Hwang Beom-byul immersed herself in the role of Joo Yeon-san, the computer engineering department valedictorian and former "children's quiz king," heightening the immersion. As a true engineering student to the bone, Joo Yeon-san processes problem solving quickly but has the fatal flaw that if a single error occurs, execution fails; he is a nerd among nerds who avoids dating and wrestles with computers 24 hours a day. Unwillingly entangled with Kang Min-hak, Joo Yeon-san gradually fixes the romance errors inside him, and his change is expected to provoke fluttering feelings. Hwang Beom-byul colorfully portrayed Joo Yeon-san's changeable side, further raising expectations. Above all, the passionate performances of Kim Yo-han and Hwang Beom-byul, who completed a chemistry that attracts more because Kang Min-hak and Joo Yeon-san are opposites from major to personality, raised anticipation for a fresh campus romance.
The actors' performances, which completed a pleasant and refreshing campus scene, should not be overlooked. Kwon Young-eun played Yang Na-rae, a BL enthusiast who welcomes the merger with the model department dreaming of her heyday but actually lacks substance, showing a lovable charm. Minseo played Kang Dong-won, the computer engineering student council president and an out lesbian, showing a strong presence. Nicknamed "Engineering Kang Dong-won" for her exceptional girl-crush aura, she is a character who fiercely opposes the merger. Heo Jeong-do solidified the center of the story as Gi Myo-han, the department head of Hangang University College of Engineering facing a financial crisis. The close-knit chemistry among the computer engineering trio Yang Na-rae, Kang Dong-won, and Joo Yeon-san is expected to add vitality to the drama.
Lim Seong-gyun played Ban Ji-no, a contestant from the "children's quiz king" competition and Joo Yeon-san's rival(?), completing a character who is annoying but impossible to hate. Kang Shin played Im Yu-ri, a model major and student council president who has both visuals and ability, showing perfect synchronicity with the character and capturing attention. The model major Paeng Gil-tan, who is linked to Yang Na-rae through a special relationship, was played by rising actor Lee Joon-hyuk, radiating presence. Kang Jae-hak, the manager who carefully manages Kang Min-hak's every move and whom he trusts and follows like an older brother, was played by Woo Ji-hyun, and Um Nan-sae, the owner of an eccentric professorship called a living legend in Korea's computer engineering world, was played by Lee Ji-hye, who demonstrated rich acting prowess.
The production team of The 4th love revolution said, "The script reading was perfect, with the cheerful synergy of young actors who will multiply the excitement and empathy for a fresh campus romance," and added, "Please look forward to the diverse character play completed by veteran actors with solid skills together with distinctive young actors."
Meanwhile, The 4th love revolution is scheduled to be released on Wavve in the second half of 2025.
