The upcoming rom-com Waiting for Kyeongdo is finally teasing its release! On September 9, JTBC shared the first look at the show, giving fans a glimpse of Park Seo Joon and Won Ji An in their roles. The photo shows them as their 20-year-old selves, carefree and enjoying the moment, feet dangling over the edge of a shore. They look sweet and lighthearted, but the story promises that life has more complicated turns ahead. Park Seo Joon is returning to rom-coms after a long break, having spent years in thrillers and even making his Hollywood debut. Fans are especially excited to see him as Lee Kyeong Do, his first lighthearted role in seven years.
Waiting for Kyeongdo explores the immature but passionate love between Lee Kyeong Do and Seo Ji Woo. The two were deeply in love in their early 20s but separated after dating briefly at 28. Now, years later, they meet again under very different circumstances. Lee Kyeong Do is a successful entertainment journalist at Dongwoon Daily, while Seo Ji Woo is a celebrity dealing with a messy public breakup after her husband is caught in an affair. Their reunion sparks old feelings, but now they are also caught on opposite sides of the scandal.
The drama promises a mix of romance and humor as the two navigate their past and the present chaos around them. Their chemistry, combined with the messy yet comedic situations they face, sets the stage for another chance at love. While the exact premiere date hasn’t been officially announced, reports suggest Waiting for Kyeongdo will air before the end of the year, with December 2025 looking likely. Fans are eagerly waiting for the sparks, laughter, and heartfelt moments this rom-com will bring.
