Tonight is the Final Episode of drama 'Touch Your Heart'

Friday, March 29, 2019

tvN Asia’s latest 24-hour express drama – Touch Your Heart – starring #ointmentcouple Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na, will broadcast the final episode exclusively on tvN in Asia on Friday (29 March) at 21:45 (GMT+8) in Singapore and Malaysia, and at 20:45 (GMT+7) in Indonesia.

In the latest episode, adorable scenes of the hard-working lawyer Kwon Jung-rok (Lee Dong-wook) and A-list actress Oh Yoon-seo (Yoo In-na) were released, and the couple’s relationship has become much more affectionate after their time apart. The serious professional, Jung-rok turns out to be a green-eyed monster filled with jealousy from the frequent interactions between Yoon-seo and other men. When role-playing drama scenes with Yoon-seo, Jang-rok transforms into a macho man and aggressively hauls her down on the sofa, surprising Yoon-seo and made her blush. “Hold my hand tight and I’ll stand by your side till the end” he promises her, showing off his extraordinary masculinity. In addition, the couple’s original plan to keep their relationship private failed due to their uncontrollable jealousy.

Indeed, Jung-rok tends to suppress his desire for love in the first half of the drama. However, he gradually becomes a thrall to love as he helplessly wallows in the relationship with Yoon-seo. He has been missing Yoon-seo every second, wishing to stick with her day in and day out. His dramatic change from an indifferent man to a warm and loyal boyfriend fascinates worldwide audience.

More intimate and touching stories of the lovely couple will be revealed in the final episode.

Her Private Life

Webtoon Drama 'Her Private Life' Starring Kim Jae Wook & Park Min Young to Premiere on tvN on 11 April

Wednesday, March 27, 2019

tvN Asia’s latest 24-hour express drama – Her Private Life – starring Kim Jae-wook and Park Min-young, will premiere on tvN in Asia from 11 April (Every Thursday and Friday) at 21:45 (GMT+8) in Singapore and Malaysia, and at 20:45 (GMT+7) in Indonesia.

Her Private Life follows the romance between art gallery curator, Sung Duk-mi (Park Min-young) and her boss, Ryan Gold (Kim Jae-wook). At work, Duk-mi is very hard working and obedient, but secretly, she is a fangirl of Cha Shi-ahn (ONE) and manages a popular fan site. “I think 'Her Private Life' is very unique as it has a fangirl as the main character”, expressed Park Min-young.

Playing against Park Min-young, Kim Jae-wook took the role of a cold and harsh director of an art gallery who used to be a talented artist. “I think 'Her Private Life' is the perfect drama for spring, the season of love. We all have become obsessed with something at one point in our life. Seeing Duk-mi and her friends obsess over an idol will recall those moments of audience’s past, or even current state”, remarked Kim Jae-wook.

In the recently released teasers of Her Private Life, audience will be amazed by the main cast’s impeccable portrayal of their characters. Park Min-young transforms from an office lady-look in What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim to a fangirl who dresses in all-black with a mask and hat. She perfectly captures the essence of a fangirl showing her 200% satisfaction after successfully taking photos of her idol from afar with a professional camera.

While the handsome and cool-looking Kim Jae-wook, whose character shows no interest in idol previously, suddenly joins the fandom. His surprising engagement in a fandom has created a huge contrast from his serious character. The one-of-a-kind “fandom romance” between Park and Kim’s characters has certainly aroused great anticipation from audience and already generated much online buzz from netizens, with comments like “Starting from today, I’m the fangirl of Her Private Life!” flooding online communities and many SNS platforms.

Her Private Life will broadcast on tvN in Asia from 11 April (Every Thursday and Friday) at 21:45 (GMT+8) in Singapore and Malaysia, and at 20:45 (GMT+7) in Indonesia. The drama is paired with English, Chinese, Bahasa Malaysia and Bahasa Indonesia subtitles.
