JTBC’s upcoming drama “The Practical Guide to Love” has unveiled new stills ahead of its premiere!
“The Practical Guide to Love” tells the story of Lee Ui Yeong (Han Ji Min), a woman who dives into the world of blind dates after deciding to actively pursue love. When she meets two men with completely different charms—played by Park Sung Hoon and Lee Ki Taek—she finds herself torn between them, setting off on a journey to discover what true love really means.
When it comes to romance, Lee Ui Yeong has always dreamed of a fateful connection that blossoms naturally. Rather than forcing sparks or deliberately seeking someone out, she longs to suddenly realize that she has fallen for someone she already knows. However, as reality begins to challenge her ideals, that dream starts to feel increasingly distant.
Just then, Lee Ui Yeong is unexpectedly reunited with her former college crush from 10 years ago, Kang Do Hyun (Shin Jae Ha). Back in their university days, the two shared a subtle romantic tension that never fully developed into a relationship. Now, a decade later, they cross paths again as co-workers at The Hill Hotels—seemingly bringing Ui Yeong one step closer to the kind of love story she has always imagined.
The newly released stills capture both the past and present of their relationship. One image shows the pair during their college years, when quiet glances hinted at unspoken feelings. In contrast, present-day photos reveal Kang Do Hyun pointing a camera at Lee Ui Yeong during a business trip, highlighting both their professional connection and lingering chemistry.
Also present on the trip are Ui Yeong’s junior colleague Jung Hyun Min (played by Jung Hye Sung) and intern Sim Sae Byeok (played by Kim So Hye), adding to the lively workplace atmosphere. Despite the bustling environment, Kang Do Hyun’s return is enough to make Ui Yeong look forward to going to work each morning—and even her colleagues can sense the romantic tension between the two.
“The Practical Guide to Love” premieres on February 28 at 10:40 p.m. KST and will be available to watch on Viki.
