The stars of Love in Disguise, the upcoming tvN drama, have shared the key words that best describe their characters' romantic relationships ahead of the series premiere. Yim Si Wan, Seol In Ah, Kim Jung Hyun, and Yeonwoo shared details about the two love stories that will unfold in parallel throughout the plot.
Love in Disguise is a romance and mystery drama centered on Yoon Yi Jun (played by Yim Si Wan), an arrogant chaebol heir who becomes a murder suspect, and Kang Jae Hee (Seol In Ah), a former special forces soldier who goes undercover as his personal secretary to investigate him.
While this lead couple navigates between suspicion and attraction, another love story develops in parallel: that of Taegang Group lawyer Kim Si Hyun (Kim Jung Hyun) and the chairman's secretary, Lee Hye Jung (Yeonwoo).
Yim Si Wan and Seol In Ah describe the bond between Yoon Yi Jun and Kang Jae Hee
Yim Si Wan chose the word innocence to define the relationship between Yoon Yi Jun and Kang Jae Hee. The actor explained: It might sound strange, but if you look at their circumstances simply, I think Yoon Yi Jun and Kang Jae Hee are two people who could never be together. A chaebol heir suspected of murder and a detective who suspects him and chases him: what a tense combination!
He added that, regardless of the form their relationship takes, innocence is the right word because their pure hearts end up finding common ground in love that allows them to be together, thus hinting at a romance in which both characters move toward love through sincerity, even though their circumstances force them to distrust each other.
For her part, Seol In Ah summarized the relationship between Yoon Yi Jun and Kang Jae Hee with the phrase from suspicion to trust. She explained that their bond begins with both unable to trust each other, but as they go through different incidents together, they gradually come to understand and trust one another.
The actress also highlighted unexpected twists as another appeal of this couple. She pointed out that there are many moments where roles are reversed compared to what is usual in conventional romantic dramas, as Kang Jae Hee protects Yoon Yi Jun and there are even scenes where she is the one who acts more physically. According to Seol In Ah, that unexpected chemistry is what makes the couple entertaining to watch.
Kim Jung Hyun and Yeonwoo bet on a mature relationship
Both Kim Jung Hyun and Yeonwoo chose the word mature to describe the relationship between Kim Si Hyun and Lee Hye Jung. Kim Jung Hyun introduced his pairing as a mature couple, explaining that while Yoon Yi Jun and Kang Jae Hee argue and show a youthful and endearing side, Kim Si Hyun and Lee Hye Jung have a more realistic romance, the kind one might observe between close people and think could be one's own story.
The actor added that, in that sense, they will be able to show a deeper and more mature chemistry between both characters.
Yeonwoo also described their relationship as a mature romance. The actress shared that she felt the couple's particular charm arises from the way they are attracted to each other without being easily carried away by their emotions, instead exchanging witty remarks with each other.
Yeonwoo added that, while Yoon Yi Jun and Kang Jae Hee have a relationship in which they openly express their feelings and clash with each other, Kim Si Hyun and Lee Hye Jung stand out for their relaxed atmosphere and their more laid-back banter.
