Popular K-drama actors Seo Hyun Jin and Yoo Yeon Seok might be teaming up again after nearly eight years, sparking major excitement among fans. The two previously starred together in the hit medical series Dr. Romantic, which aired in 2016 and helped establish them as major names in the Korean drama world. According to a report from Korean media outlet My Daily on July 3, both actors are currently in talks to lead a new MBC drama titled Liar. While nothing has been officially confirmed, the possibility of their reunion is already generating a lot of buzz.
If they do sign on, this would mark their first time sharing the screen since Dr. Romantic wrapped in early 2017. Longtime fans of the pair are thrilled at the idea of seeing them in fresh roles and a completely new storyline — especially one that promises emotional depth and complex character dynamics.
The drama Liar is said to focus on a unique romance that begins with what seems like a perfect first date. However, the next day, both people remember the experience very differently. This leads to misunderstandings and reveals deeper issues involving trust, miscommunication, and emotional baggage. The story aims to explore how two people can share the same moment but walk away with completely opposite interpretations — raising questions about truth, memory, and connection.
Seo Hyun Jin is being considered for the role of Kang Ji Seon, an essay teacher at an arts-focused middle school. Her character comes from a wealthy background but experienced a major life shift when her family lost everything. Since then, she’s grown up believing that detecting lies is more useful than trusting others. She tends to keep her guard up, especially around new people. That starts to change when she meets Min Joon Ho, a man she initially misjudges — but who gradually breaks through her defenses.
Yoo Yeon Seok is in talks to play Min Joon Ho, a successful cardiac surgeon who seems to have everything together. He’s polished, calm, and respected in his field. But underneath that calm exterior is a man still grieving the death of his wife. He’s been raising his son alone and has emotionally shut down — until his unexpected connection with Kang Ji Seon starts to stir something within him.
At the moment, both actors are still reviewing the casting offers, and their agencies have yet to confirm any official decisions. Still, the news of this potential reunion has already spread quickly through fan communities and drama forums, with many expressing hope that this new project will allow the actors to show off an even deeper, more mature chemistry than before.
