Na In-woo is Longing for You with a side of vengeance

by lovepark

ENA’s upcoming mystery drama Longing for You has released a batch of character posters along with a quick teaser of its main leads. Despite its deceptively romantic title, the show is about a serial murder case and the team out to catch the culprit.

Playing noisy detective Oh Jin-sung is Na In-woo (Jinxed at First). On most days, Jin-sung is a cheerful person, but when he gets transferred to the special investigations team, his demeanor changes. Representing his motivation, Jin-sung’s poster reads, “for truth,” which is also depicted in the teaser.

Joining the investigation as well is Jin-sung’s friend and prosecutor Go Young-joo played by Kim Ji-eun (One Dollar Lawyer). Nicknamed the “bulldozer,” Young-joo fearlessly charges forward in every case, and her poster and teaser aptly have the words, “for justice.”

Finishing off the main trio from the teaser is Kwon Yul (Mental Coach Jegal) as Cha Young-woon. An “elite, noble” prosecutor, Young-woon has lived a stable life thus far, but as it goes in these stories, his once sturdy foundation is shaken to its core. Tying into that theme, his poster and teaser say, “for fate.”

Though not shown in the teaser, the rest of the show’s ensemble cast have posters as well with each highlighting their various objectives. Bae Jong-ok (Secret Royal Inspector and Joy) plays Young-woon’s mother and hospital director Yoo Jung-sook. Praised for her conviction and skills, Young-woon’s very being exudes elegance, but behind her gaze, something hides within. Her poster says, “for salvation.”

Also connected to Young-woon is Lee Kyu-han (Happiness Battle) as correspondent Park Ki-young. His character appears to be glaring at someone, perfectly matching his motivation: “for destruction.”

Lastly, Jung Sang-hoon (The Witch is Alive) plays dentist Bae Min-kyu. The son of an assemblyperson, he uses his father’s status to abuse power and get what he wants. Reflecting his selfish nature, his poster reads, “for desire.”

Directed by PD Han Chul-soo (Again My Life) and PD Kim Yong-min (Again My Life) with scripts by Kwon Min-soo (Graceful Family), ENA’s Longing for You premieres on July 26 in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.
