KBS 2TV’s new weekend drama “Beauty and the Geek” is raising expectations with the release of a comprehensive preview video ahead of its first broadcast on the 23rd at 7:55 PM. This work, a special collaboration between writer Kim SaKyung and director Hong SeokGu, depicts the unique romance between a top actress who was once at the peak and a rookie drama PD who loves her and tries to lift her back up. It is being highlighted as a hot topic that will heat up the first half of this year.
The released preview video teases the connection between Park Dora (played by Im SooHyang) and Ko PilSeung (played by Ji HyunWoo) from their childhood, stirring viewers’ curiosity with the complex and emotional narrative of the two. Especially, the young Dora (played by Lee SeolAh) confessing to Moon SungHyun (played by Moon SungHyun), and Moon SungHyun’s promise to talk again when they turn twenty, further highlights their pure emotions.
As an adult, PilSeung starts working at a broadcasting station as an enthusiastic drama PD and is taken aback upon encountering Dora, who appears in the drama. The bickering between the two offers a ‘Tom and Jerry’ chemistry, eliciting laughter. With PilSeung being the only one who remembers Dora, it amplifies curiosity about what will happen between them and how their relationship from childhood will change.
“Beauty and the Geek” is set to fill the weekend evenings with interesting narratives and emotional romance. As the sequel to “Live Your Own Life,” this drama explores the meaning of new love through the growth and change of relationships. With high anticipation for the first broadcast, it remains to be seen what story this drama will unfold and what reactions it will provoke.
