Lee Min Ho Considers the Rom-Com Drama Virtual Love, Here is His Role

Kapanlagi.com - Lee Min Ho is said to be weighing a new drama project that could mark his return to the romantic comedy genre. The actor is reported to have received an offer to star in "Virtual Love" (working title), a series that explores the concept of a virtual world and dual identities.

This news emerged from broadcasting industry sources on July 2. The project is said to be one of the main offers currently being considered by the actor.

"Lee Min Ho is scheduled to star in the new drama 'Virtual Love (BUT YOUR LOVE),'" said the source.

Currently, Lee Min Ho is still in the final stages of discussions to take on the lead role. If he joins, this drama will mark his comeback to the small screen after about two years since "When the Stars Gossip" ended in February last year.

1. Romantic Story with a Touch of the Digital World

"Virtual Love" is designed as a romantic comedy drama with a total of 12 episodes. The plot follows the life of an employee who discovers an unexpected fact about the person who has been supporting him all along.

This person is a member of a virtual idol group who has a different identity in the real world. That identity is then revealed to be the employee's boss, creating a conflict between professional relationships and life in the digital world.

This premise combines office dynamics with virtual elements. The meeting of two identities in one character becomes the center of a story that develops with various unexpected situations.

2. The Role of a Perfectionist Game CEO

In this project, Lee Min Ho is offered to play Cha Uk Hyun, the CEO of a game company. This character is portrayed as having a perfect image in the eyes of the public.

However, in the workplace, Cha Uk Hyun is known to be cold and a perfectionist, making him seem difficult to approach for employees. This attitude creates a distance between him and the team in the office.

The plot then changes when he experiences an event that leads him to debut as part of a virtual group. Since then, he lives a double life with various dynamics colored by comedic elements.

3. Latest Film Production and Project Schedule

Behind the scenes, "Virtual Love" will be directed by Jang Young Seok, who previously directed "Try: We Become Miracles". Currently, the casting process is still ongoing.

The production of this drama is targeted to start filming this year. The final decision regarding Lee Min Ho's involvement is still awaiting the results of ongoing discussions.

In addition to this drama project, Lee Min Ho has also announced his latest film titled "The Assassins" which is scheduled to be released in September.

This film depicts the assassination attempt on the first lady on August 15, 1974, which was broadcast nationwide. In this project, Lee Min Ho plays a rookie journalist covering the incident, acting alongside Yoo Hae Jin and Park Hae Il.
