Chae Jong Hyeob and Kim Min Ju Cast in Romance K-drama Shining

There is a new romance K-drama cast and ready to film for a 2025 release. It’s titled Shining and will star Chae Jong Hyeob and idol-actress Kim Min Ju. He’s been a male lead for years now and does quiet romance so well but she’s getting her first female lead role after being a supporting star in a few dramas so I’ll reserve my impression after seeing her onscreen here. The drama is from the screenwriter of A Piece of Your Mind and the plot deals with a young romance between the leads who break up due to life situations and reunites ten years later in their 30’s for a second chance. It’s descripted as an uplifting romance and will be directed by the PD of Our Beloved Summer.
