Na In-woo seeks the truth in Longing for You
by lovepark
The newest story teaser and stills for ENA’s upcoming drama Longing for You reveal its main mystery and its hero’s motivation for chasing down a serial killer. Played by Na In-woo (Jinxed at First), Detective Oh Jin-sung is a loving brother to Ren (from NU’EST), but a turn of events changes their dynamic and irrevocably alters their relationship.
The teaser opens to Jin-sung bragging to his younger brother that he is the great Detective Oh, but his brother reminds him that he is not Superman. Along with his best friend Prosecutor Go Young-joo, played by Kim Ji-eun (One Dollar Lawyer), Jin-sung appears to have a blast, celebrating and singing karaoke, but then, the tone shifts to police sirens and a roped-off crime scene.
Jin-sung’s brother becomes a suspect, and our hero asks if he has been living these past thirty years with a serial killer. In response, Prosecutor Cha Young-woon — played by Kwon Yul (Mental Coach Jegal) — tells Jin-sung that the facts will determine it, and Jin-sung grabs the prosecutor in anger.
Hinting at a starting point — a day from hell — the teaser shows a dead body hanging over a banister and cuts to Jin-sung confronting his brother. In the final scene, Jin-sung appears in mourning attire, and with tears streaming down his face, he vows to go until the end.
The rest of the cast in Longing for You also have their own agendas and include Bae Jong-ok (Secret Royal Inspector and Joy) as Young-woon’s devoted mother and hospital director Yoo Jung-sook, Lee Kyu-han (Happiness Battle) as tenacious correspondent Park Ki-young, and Jung Sang-hoon (The Witch is Alive) as ruthless dentist Bae Min-kyu. My money is on one of them holding the key to this mystery, but we will have to wait and see who exactly is the murderer hiding in their midst.
Written by Kwon Min-soo (Graceful Family) and directed by the team behind Again My Life — PDs Han Chul-soo and Kim Yong-min — ENA’s Longing for You is slated to premiere on July 26 in the Wednesday-Thursday slot.

"Jin-sung’s brother becomes a suspect, and our hero asks if he has been living these past thirty years with a serial killer"
😕😕.
How old is Na In-woo in here? 35+ years old? For him to ask that question I'm guessing his dongsaeng is also in his early 30s.
Forgive my tone but I have reservations. While I appreciate them giving them matured ages, I deeply pray that they act like it. I don't want to see obnoxious man-childs on my screen, especially from the younger brother character.

🤔 hmmmmm. Making me question “ruthless dentists” of the past. Like Lawrence Olivier in Marathon Man? Like Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors? Or were they merely sinister? 🦷👀

Wondered the same thing. I had to read it a few times to make sure I was seeing the right words. Lol
Hmm... like Lee Dong Wook's character in Strangers from Hell?
