Princess Go Ah-sung seeks her own Love Story in new sageuk
by tccolb
Preparations are underway for TVING’s new romance and racy sageuk The Love Story of Choon-hwa, and the main lineup has been announced, led by Go Ah-sung (Tracer) and Jang Ryul (Bargain).
Our heroine is the wayward (and fictional) princess Hwa-ri (Go Ah-sung), who is not content to simply marry any old suitor that the royal family has chosen. Defying traditions, she journeys beyond the palace walls in order to try her hand at dating – like all the common folk do – and find the perfect husband for herself.
This leads us to our hero Choi Hwan (Jang Ryul). Coming from wealth, he’s the first on the royal list of marriage candidates and the whispering rumors label him as a known Casanova.
I presume Hwa-ri will thus be (briefly) distracted by SF9’s Chani (Under the Queen’s Umbrella), who plays the prestigious Sungkyunkwan scholar Jang-won.
In supporting roles, Hwa-ri’s older brother is crown prince Sohn Woo-hyun (Happiness Battle), who was married at a young age to crown princess Im Hwa-young (A Superior Day).
We also have Han Seung-yeon (Twelve Nights) as Jang-won’s talented younger sister, Hwa-ri’s half sister and rival Do Yeon-jin (Numbers), Hwa-ri’s second brother Kim Taek (The King’s Affection), in addition to rookie actor Bae Yoon-kyu who plays a ~genius~ artist.
Last but not least, we can’t forget the heads of the Joseon royal family – who are also Hwa-ri’s parents – with king Park Won-sang (Oasis) and queen Park Sun-young (The Forbidden Marriage).
Written by Seo Eun-jung (So Not Worth It) with PD Lee Kwang-young (Call It Love) at the helm, TVING’s The Love Story of Choon-hwa is currently slated to release next year in 2024.
