Rising actor Cha Jeong-woo transforms into the lead of a time-slip romance.
Cha Jeong-woo is making his first run at the romantic comedy genre since his debut. He has been cast as the lead of the short-form drama "My Boyfriend Is 600 Years Old," promising a heart-fluttering performance. The time-slip romance "My Boyfriend Is 600 Years Old," which Cha Jeong-woo has joined as the lead, tells the love story between a Joseon prince named Geom and drama division PD Su-hyun, who cross a span of 600 years.
In the story he plays Prince I-gyeom of Joseon, a role with unexpected charms, and is expected to lead a heart-pounding story. I-gyeom, whom he portrays, may seem somewhat awkward but is a talented person well-versed in both literary and martial arts who suddenly falls into present-day Korea. On top of that, he begins to feel subtle emotions toward Jung Su-hyun, who signed a fake-lover contract to survive, and encounters a new change.
Earlier this year, Cha Jeong-woo made a clear impression through the drama "Secret Relationship," released on Watcha. He delicately expressed the narrative of a character who grows through wounds and pain, drawing viewers into the story. His immersive, passionate performance drew enthusiastic reactions each episode and at the same time earned recognition of his limitless potential as an actor.
For these reasons, curiosity is focused on the romance Cha Jeong-woo will unfold in "My Boyfriend Is 600 Years Old." Especially his warm visuals and physique, as well as the stable acting demonstrated in his previous work, are expected to stand out again, raising expectations for the birth of a drama that will give viewers a pleasant thrill.
Meanwhile, the Cha Jeong-woo–starring "My Boyfriend Is 600 Years Old" will be released on ShortCha on the 30th.
