Yura will play the role of weather reporter Chae Yoo-jin. Yoo-jin used to have big dreams about being a reporter – she thought that she would be breaking big news and reporting on-site, but she ended up in the weather reporting team. She was disappointed at first, but gradually grows to love her job.
Song Kang & Min-young to star in Cruel Story of Office Romance
The storyline for the drama is unique because there’s hardly any drama about Korea’s meteorological service. It will also be interesting to learn about the work of a meteorologist and a weather reporter.
Cruel Story of Office Romance will start filming this summer and is set to air in the 1st half of 2022.
