The dream team of actors Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won is now a reality.
They’re starring in a fresh drama titled ‘The North Star‘. This narrative revolves around spies who are on a journey to rediscover their lost identities. The creative minds behind this project are director Kim Hee Won and writer Jung Seo Kyung, who previously showcased their remarkable synergy in the 2022 tvN drama ‘Little Women‘.
Recently, a member of the drama’s crew shared a post on their personal social media account. The post included photos of Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won and announced the commencement of ‘The North Star‘ shooting on March 25th. This has sparked curiosity about the duo’s on-screen chemistry.
Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won, known for their successful streak and global popularity, have already stirred up immense anticipation among viewers worldwide with the announcement of their collaboration.
Adding to the excitement, designer Lee Jung Woo, who happens to be Jun Ji Hyun‘s mother-in-law, shared a post from an entertainment media outlet on her personal social media last year.
The post read, “The birth of a legendary duo, Jun Ji Hyun X Kang Dong Won unite in a spy melodrama”, which garnered even more attention.
She expressed her enthusiasm for ‘The North Star‘ by sharing a cheerful emoticon along with the caption “My favorite duo! Finally”.
The main attraction of ‘The North Star‘ is undoubtedly the pairing of Jun Ji Hyun and Kang Dong Won. Interestingly, Kang Dong Won, who has been primarily active in films, is making a comeback to dramas with ‘The North Star‘, almost 20 years after his last drama appearance in SBS’s ‘Magic‘ which concluded in 2004.
Jun Ji Hyun, on the other hand, hasn’t been involved in any projects since tvN’s ‘Jirisan‘ in 2021. Hence, the collaboration with Kang Dong Won is expected to create a synergy greater than any of their previous works.
‘The North Star‘, which has already created a buzz with just the casting news and promises to be a legendary drama, is anticipated to satisfy viewers’ curiosity with its future promotions.
