Shin Hye-sun’s Dear Hyeri confuses Lee Jin-wook

by tccolb

It’s a promo parade on ENA for the upcoming romance Dear Hyeri, showcasing Shin Hye-sun (Welcome to Samdal-ri) and team in a new poster and retro-style video collage, in addition to new character teasers.

We start with our announcer heroine Joo Eun-ho (Shin Hye-sun) who has the tagline of wanting to be happy. In a flashback with Lee Jin-wook (Sweet Home 3), she had teasingly asked him to pick between her and his other likes. And fellow announcer Jung Hyun-oh (Lee Jin-wook) had lovingly confirmed that Eun-ho wins over the vacuum as well as the 9 o’clock news. But the mood is cold in present day at the office, where Eun-ho explains that she already works damn hard from 5 AM to 2 PM and doesn’t want to add a 4 PM live broadcast.

A petty Hyun-oh then offers to take it, calling Eun-ho “that thing” instead of “her.” An irate Eun-ho confronts him afterwards, wondering if Hyun-oh is still acting out of love. If that’s the case, she emphatically rejects it and tells him to keep any foolish feelings to himself. This then leads to Eun-ho and Hyun-oh on the show together. But sunbae Jeon Bae-soo (Queen of Tears) is – understandably – a little scared to see Eun-ho laughing hysterically about their ironic situation.

We then get Hyun-oh’s perspective in his teaser, who is described as someone who fears being happy – giving insight to Eun-ho’s frustrations about disliking Hyun-oh because she can’t have him. Despite no longer dating, though, we see in the sequence how Hyun-oh continues to recommend Eun-ho for different news segments and his frustrated colleagues also wonder if he’s still in love.

Repeating the scene with Eun-ho’s confrontation, we now see Hyun-oh’s seemingly dismissive response. However, when he overhears her asking out another man, Hyun-oh goes to Eun-ho’s house and calls out her name – though, the woman ignores him. He mentions it to Eun-ho at work, but she’s completely unaware and our hero is further dumbfounded by her callous remark, “Why would you ruin my mood by coming to my house?”

We know, of course, that the woman Hyun-oh saw was Eun-ho’s other identity: Joo Hye-ri (also Shin Hye-sun). Her character teaser begins with Hyun-oh’s visit and he’s confused by Hye-ri’s angry yell that she’s not Eun-ho. It then cuts to Hye-ri’s parking attendant job, where she shyly confesses that there’s someone she likes and she’s trying to be brave. We then end on Hye-ri approaching her crush Kang Hoon (A Time Called You) with a bright smile.

Finally, the drama also dropped a sneak peek preview scene here so you can get your tissue boxes ready in advance of the premiere.

Slated to premiere on September 23 in the Monday-Tuesday slot, ENA’s Dear Hyeri has PD Jung Ji-hyun (Lies Hidden in My Garden, Twenty Five Twenty One) at the helm with scripts by Han Ga-ram (I’ll Find You on a Beautiful Day).

I am looking forward to having the key elements explained early so I can decide if this is my kind of drama. It definitely has the potential to be an interesting watch.
