Shin Mina and Kim Young Dae, rather than earlier rumored Lee Jong Won, will be pairing up for the K-drama Because I Don’t Want to Lose. It’s from the writer of Her Private Life and the PD of Work Later, Drink Now and is about a woman who gets into a fake marriage because she doesn’t want to lose and the man who agrees to fake marry her because he doesn’t want to hurt someone.
