Kim Se-jung and Lee Jong-won compete over Brewing Love

The first posters and teaser have dropped for ENA’s new rom-com Brewing Love, cutely placing our quarreling leads Kim Se-jung (Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch) and Lee Jong-won (Bad Memory Eraser) in a one-on-one competition over pouring beer.

Now, it doesn’t look like they’re going for a “perfect pour,” and if K-variety shows have taught me anything, the spiller is likely the loser. However, the game is really just the teaser’s set dressing – though it fits with the drama’s theme – and it’s fun to see our opposite leads clashing as well as sparking a little bubbly ~love~.

True to their personalities, the sales-savvy and boisterous Chae Yong-joo (Kim Se-jung) lets the beer slosh out with gusto. All the while, the sensitive brewmaster Yoon Min-joo (Lee Jong-won) is cautious and mindful with every last drop.

Then (gasp!) it happens, that accidental brush of their hands. Cue the music and let all the stomach-fluttering butterflies go ham, as our pair become buzzed not on alcohol but that thing we call lurve. A flustered Min-joo can barely compose himself and is almost sent over the edge when Yong-joo gives a cheeky wink.

Our hero is saved, though, when he notices the overflowing beer. But in another omo-inducing moment, both Min-joo and Yong-joo lean in instinctively to lick the spilled foam from the glass. The trailer then teasingly closes as the lights go out over our pair.

Directed by PD Park Sun-ho (Business Proposal) with scripts by Lee Jung-shin, ENA’s Brewing Love is slated to premiere on November 4, following Dear Hyeri in the Monday-Tuesday slot.

Ahhh it might end up being pretty ho hum and predictable in a bad way, but I like both leads, and the PD is confidently fun.
Although he'll be hard pressed to beat the Archaeopteryx joke tbh.

The Archaeopteryx was genius.

Sic, since I didn’t journey with you in QUEEN WOO it will be fun following BREWING LOVE with you with a caveat. My quotient for kdrama drinking scenes for this year was pretty much used up in CINDERELLA AT 2 AM with almost all those scenes portraying cringeworthy and sometimes dangerous behavior.

Back to the drama at hand, in the teaser, I don’t know what kind of bottle was used for the beer. It is nothing I have ever seen beer poured out of. It looked like an olive oil bottle to me.

In the U.S. I have seen cheap beer or malt liquor in plastic beer bottles that look like this. In the U.S. Olde English 800 is available in a plastic bottle that has this approximate shape. But of course, that's a malt liquor, beloved by down and out alcoholics and foolish teens everywhere, willing to gulp down swill for a buzz.

It doesn't bode well for the beer expertise in this show if the master brewer is carefully pouring beer out of a plastic bottle, but I am still going to watch this for sure!

I like the actors! I'm confident they will deliver the humor and the chemistry. Now, I hope the script won't be drunk scenes after drunk scenes...

If the title had remained: DRUNKEN ROMANCE I am positive it would have been a pass.

Premise not so much - or maybe I'm not that knowledgeable in c-romcoms? alcohol+love combo screams kdrama to me lol - but visuals, in other hand... Idk what for, seems completely unnecessary when you have leads this pretty.

True. Only in kdrama land does love happily co-exisit with copious amounts of alcohol. I don't know how that's possible. To be fair though I did see a scene recently in a cdrama romcom that was a "drunk" drinking scene.

Dear Hyeri cannot finish fast enough. 😅 Just hope the alcohol is limited to brewing and selling and not copious amount of drinking. 🤞🏻 Till then it is cheers to the drama. 🍻

Why did they make the leads look like 18 year olds in the poster? Is this drama geared towards teens?

Viki secured licensing for "Brewing Love". Don't know which regions however.
