Jung Kyung Ho has officially selected a romance drama as his next project, confirming his participation in the upcoming series Unshakable Forties’ Romance. On March 4, reports emerged that Jung Kyung Ho would take on the male lead role in the new production. In response, his agency Management OREUM confirmed the news, stating that it is true the actor will be starring in Unshakable Forties’ Romance.
Unshakable Forties’ Romance tells the captivating story of a man and a woman in their forties, an age often described as being immune to temptation, who unexpectedly find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. The drama centers on a star anchor suffering from early andropause and a third-rate writer who was once his sworn enemy. As they attempt to revive a television program struggling at the bottom of the ratings chart, they ultimately find themselves rekindling long-dormant feelings and rediscovering their own “romance cells” in the process.
In the series, Jung Kyung Ho will portray Na Yi Jun, the newsroom’s celebrated star anchor. Raised in an ordinary middle-class family without significant hardships, Na Yi Jun achieved a perfect score on his college entrance exam and became the youngest anchor in the network’s history, earning recognition as an exceptional figure. However, upon turning 40, he begins to experience symptoms of early andropause, leading to a sharp decline in his self-esteem and forcing him to confront unexpected personal challenges.
With four consecutive successful projects including Hospital Playlist, Crash Course in Romance, Oh My Ghost Clients, and Pro Bono, Jung Kyung Ho has solidified his reputation as a reliable and versatile actor. As anticipation builds around Unshakable Forties’ Romance, viewers are looking forward to seeing how Jung Kyung Ho will bring depth and nuance to his latest romantic role.
