Kim Min-seok to lead new JTBC drama as a singer completing his military service

by tccolb

A new JTBC drama called Bloody Romance is in the works, and actor Kim Min-seok (Lovestruck in the City) has been confirmed as the lead. Kim has played the lead in recent movies as well as shorter drama specials, but this marks his first leading role in a longer running show.

The story involves a South Korean world star whose life turns upside down when he starts his army duty and runs into a female soldier from North Korea.

Kim Min-seok takes on the central role of the world-famous South Korean singer. Although still young, he’s amassed a collection of awards and has broken several records in his career. Up until recently, he had also maintained a clean public image with nary a scandal to mar his good name. However, he suddenly gets embroiled in a suspicious conspiracy, and enlists to begin his army service as a result. Just when he expects things to get back to normal, though, fate throws him another twist.

Directing for the drama is PD Park Kwang-choon with scripts written collaboratively by Kwon Hee-kyung and Park Hyun-jin. JTBC drama Bloody Romance is currently in the planning stages and aiming to broadcast in early 2022.

Nam Gyu Ri is said to be the FL. I love love this casting because it is so random. I also just really like Kim Min Seok and I cannot wait to watch this.

When I see the word "bloody" in a show involving military service I can't help thinking about bullies and possible revenge.

Yes, I've seen D.P. Why do you ask?

But "bloody" and "romance" side by side? I hope it's just a bad way of expressing that this show will have conflict and romance.

The Korean wording was strange to me too as "피타는" could be roughly translated as "blood burning". But apparently it's a North Korean phrase meaning desperately wanting a deep desire in your heart, or trying with all your might/heart to overcome a difficulty.

Enlistment post 'scandal' is a fairly regular thing in kpop but I'm still surprised to see it be the plot of a kdrama. I really like Kim Min-seok so I'll give this a shot.
