Yoon Park answers Sooyoung’s fanmail in MBC’s Please Send a Fan Letter

by tccolb

The first teaser has dropped – as well as a bright new poster – for MBC’s upcoming Please Send a Fan Letter, featuring the rom-com’s three leads: Sooyoung (If You Wish Upon Me), Yoon Park (Forecasting Love and Weather), and child actor Shin Yeon-woo.

When his daughter Yoo-na (Shin Yeon-woo) falls critically ill, single-dad Bang Jung-seok (Yoon Park) is determined to keep her spirits up and care for her the best that he can – even if it means telling some white lies. Thus, begins the fan mail project: writing a fake letter and pretending that star celeb Han Kang-hee (Sooyoung) wrote back in response to young Yoo-na’s fan letter.

As these things go in dramaland, Jung-seok and Kang-hee actually know each other from their high school days and we get a peek at their first encounter post-high school in the newest teaser.

The video begins with Kang-hee greeting her fans and the press, introducing herself as a top actor in South Korea. We then cut to the breaking news, citing trouble on Kang-hee’s last drama and announcing the latest scandal: “Fanletters thrown in the trash?” As Kang-hee screams that it wasn’t her, the article reports on her agency’s formal apology – assuring the public that they’re investigating CCTV footage and that it was likely a mistake that won’t ever happen again.

Kang-hee tries her best to avoid the angry crowds, but she’s accosted by an unknown man – who is quickly overtaken by our dad-in-shining-armor Jung-seok. Kang-hee and Jung-seok are surprised to see each other, and another news article cuts into scene. With a subheading claiming that a young girl with leukemia received a letter from Kang-hee, the main headline reads: “Life’s greatest danger becomes an opportunity.”

The young girl in question, of course, is Yoo-na and she presents the letter in a live-stream interview – which Kang-hee watches in confusion. If Kang-hee didn’t write the letter, who did and why? While a shocked Jung-seok asks Yoo-na what’s happening, Kang-hee goes to the hospital to find out for herself. The teaser then closes on our OTP meeting each other again.

Written by Park Tae-yang with PD Jung Sang-hee (Showtime Begins) at the helm, the 4-episode drama has moved up its premiere date to November 18, following Golden Spoon.
