Director Im Hyun Wook and screenwriter Yoo Young Ah both feel that Park Seo Joon and Won Ji An are the perfect choices to bring this story to the screen.

According to Im Hyun Wook, the male character (Lee Gyeong Do) "is like a big tree with roots firmly planted, steadfast in the face of storms," while the female character (Seo Ji Woo) "is like a candle flickering in the wind, fragile yet possessing her own light."

The casting itself was done with the hope of finding actors who could naturally exude such emotional contrasts, and in the director's view, Park Seo Joon and Won Ji An succeeded. "It's wonderful to see both of them truly capture the emotional tone of the characters with extraordinary precision," he expressed.

2. The Writer's Vision that Brings Characters to Life

Im Hyun Wook emphasizes that in romantic dramas, the charm of the actors and the chemistry between the two main characters are the keys to everything. On set, he often feels as if he is directly facing Lee Gyeong Do and Seo Ji Woo, not the actors. The director intentionally allows moments of tension and tenderness between them to emerge organically.

Equally important, Yoo Young Ah stated that when they first met Park Seo Joon, the production team immediately felt, "This is our Gyeong Do." Likewise, when they met Won Ji An, her presence was even praised as more captivating in person than on screen. According to the writer, Won Ji An has a presence and aura that is very suitable for Seo Ji Woo.

This drama is created by the same team, with Im Hyun Wook as the director and Yoo Young Ah as the writer. They are committed to bringing the emotional and sentimental conflicts of the characters to life, not just showcasing sweet romance, but also the depth and complexity of human relationships.

3. Hope from the Production Team

The director revealed that the challenge is to visually depict the emotional flow of the characters, how the past, present, old feelings, and regrets intertwine. Instead of dividing the story into separate phases, he wants the audience to feel a single emotional thread that binds each phase of their relationship.

The production team hopes that when this drama finally airs, the audience can feel the intensity of the feelings of both characters, and their story will leave a deep impression, even after the last episode ends.

The gentle visual approach, the continuous flow of emotions, and the detailed character relationships make this drama very worthy of being on the watchlist.

For fans of meaningful romantic stories, "Surely Tomorrow" promises a heartwarming experience and is the perfect watch for the end of this year. The drama is scheduled to air starting December 6, 2025, at 10:40 PM KST.
