'Love prescribed for you' has finalized the grants of Kim Mi-sook, Ju Jin-mo, Choi Dae-chul, Jo Mi-ryung, Kim Sun-bin and Yoon Seo-ah, completing a star-studded lineup set to capture weekend living rooms.
KBS2's new weekend drama 'Love prescribed for you', scheduled to premiere in January 2026 (writer Park Ji-sook, director Han Jun-seo, produced by HB Entertainment), is a family make-up drama in which two families who had been entangled in a bad relationship for 30 years resolve their misunderstandings, heal each other's wounds and are ultimately reborn as one family.
Earlier announcements had teased appearances by Jin Se-yeon and Park Ki-woong as well as Kim Seung-soo, Yoo Ho-jung, Kim Hyung-mook and So Yi-hyun, and by revealing a lineup that spans all generations including Kim Mi-sook, Ju Jin-mo, Choi Dae-chul, Jo Mi-ryung, Kim Sun-bin and Yoon Seo-ah, expectations for the work have skyrocketed.
Kim Mi-sook plays Na Seon-hae, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gong family, who is kind but strict, and affectionate but decisive. Na Seon-hae is a true adult who has firmly kept the household together instead of being a busy daughter-in-law, and she is a power superwoman who still works actively as a pharmacist without neglecting health and appearance management. It will be interesting to see how Kim Mi-sook will portray Na Seon-hae, the family's spiritual pillar.
Ju Jin-mo plays Yang Seon-chul, the mainstay of Yang Ji-barun Korean medicine clinic. Yang Seon-chul is a character with great pride as a Korean medicine doctor, who prioritizes fresh and good medicinal ingredients above all. He still waits for the wife who left him in his youth, and lives burying deep in his heart the guilt he feels, believing that his stubbornness and authority drove his wife and daughter-in-law away. Interest is growing in what kind of pure tsundere character full of Ju Jin-mo's individuality he will present.
Choi Dae-chul plays Gong Dae-han, the younger brother of Gong Jeong and a rehabilitation therapist of the upright and kind-hearted lawmaker Gong Myung. Gong Dae-han sacrificed himself for his family and waited for a woman who would understand him; in his mid-40s he met pure Hee-kyung and married late, but he faces a difficult life. It is intriguing to anticipate what shade of acting Choi Dae-chul will bring to Gong Dae-han's narrative of cherishing his family dearly.
Jo Mi-ryung portrays Yang Dong-suk, the clinic manager of Yang Ji-barun Korean medicine clinic who loathes housework. After her mother left home, Yang Dong-suk took care of meals for her father and brother and ran the household from a young age. Therefore, her life's sole goal is to make her son Min-ji-ho a Korean medicine doctor. Jo Mi-ryung's acting, which will depict a mother's life dedicated to her son, is eagerly awaited.
The MZ generation line that injects vitality into the drama is led by Kim Sun-bin and Yoon Seo-ah. Kim Sun-bin plays Gong Woo-jae, a handsome and kind medical school graduate. A natural philanthropist and sweet Gong Woo-jae graduated from medical school but failed the national medical exam for the second year in a row, suffering from self-blame and pressure. Kim Sun-bin is expected to fully display the acting spectrum he built through dramas such as 'The Haunted Palace,' 'The Tale of Lady Ok' and 'Korea-Khitan Wa' in 'Love prescribed for you.'
Yoon Seo-ah plays Yang Eun-bin, an influencer with a wilful personality. Yang Eun-bin grew up without lack and always did what she wanted from childhood, and she likes Gong Woo-jae regardless of the family's atmosphere. But after repeatedly being ignored by Woo-jae and learning the reason, she turns dark. Yoon Seo-ah, who made an impression with dramas such as 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty' and 'The Tale of Lady Ok,' raises curiosity about what chemistry she will create with Kim Sun-bin.
The production team said, "The addition of Kim Mi-sook, Ju Jin-mo, Choi Dae-chul, Jo Mi-ryung, Kim Sun-bin and Yoon Seo-ah captures the textures of diverse generations from elders of a family to grandchildren and will complete a story that people of all ages can relate to," adding, "The depth of veteran actors' performances and the fresh energy of young actors will combine to deliver both weight and vitality to the work, so we ask for much interest and support."
Director Han Jun-seo, who showed stylish direction through 'The Real Has Come!' and 'Love is Beautiful, Life is Wonderful,' and writer Park Ji-sook, whose solid writing credits include 'The Tale of Lady Ok,' 'Uncle' and 'My Spring Days,' have teamed up for KBS2's new weekend drama 'Love prescribed for you,' which follows 'Our Golden Days' and will premiere in January 2026.
