‘The speed that goes to you 493km’ Kim Moo-jun and Seo Ji-hye work together in a badminton mixed doubles team.
On April 20th, KBS 2TV’s new Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘The speed to you 493km’ (directed by Jo Woong, written by Heo Seong-hye, produced by Blitzway Studios, hereafter ‘You Acceleration’) will be broadcast for the first time. ‘Accelerate You’ is a hot sports romance between a refreshing twenty-five, sports-oriented Park Tae-yang (Park Joo-hyun) and an athletic professional Park Tae-joon (Chae Jong-hyeop) in a badminton business team. It is attracting attention as it will deliver the bright energy of youth to the small screen this spring.
Above all, the lineup of young actors such as Park Joo-hyun, Chae Jong-hyeop, and Park Ji-hyun raises expectations for ‘Accelerate You’. In addition, two actors with fresh masks, Kim Moo-jun and Seo Ji-hye, will appear to add a refreshing charm to ‘Accelerate You’.
First, Kim Moo-jun takes on the role of Yook Jeong-hwan, a star badminton player who drives fans. A player who is loved for his warm appearance and all-around play, but his weakness is self-management. He looks rough, but on the inside, he is the owner of a friendly ‘tsundere’ charm. Attention is paid to what kind of performance Kim Moo-jun, who appeared like a comet, will perform through the role of Yook Jeong-hwan.
Lee Yoo-min, played by Seo Ji-hye, is the daughter of Lee Tae-sang (Jo Han-cheol), an Olympic gold medalist and current Eunice coach. Although she has a strong point of intelligent play, she is called the ‘Queen of Jinx’ due to large and small accidents in every important game. It is said that Seo Ji-hye perfectly portrays the charm of the cute pro meddler Lee Yu-min, bringing her vitality to her play.
The still cut released on the 11th contains Kim Mu-jun and Seo Ji-hye standing on the court as a mixed doubles team. Seo Ji-hye is in charge of the court’s vanguard, and Kim Mu-jun is the rear-guard. The serious eyes of two people holding rackets show their sincerity in badminton. Above all, the chemistry that bursts out just by standing together catches the eye.
However, the uniforms worn by the two men in the photo have the names of different teams written on them, raising curiosity.
Kim Moo-joon is wearing Eunice, and Seo Ji-hye is wearing a Somang Bank uniform. Curiosity is growing as to why they played as a team and how they will become entangled.
The production team of ‘Accelerate You’ said, “The fresh charms of Kim Moo-joon and Seo Ji-hye blend well with the image of our drama, creating a good synergy. In addition, the two are more immersed in the character than expected, showing a high synchro rate and making the play more enjoyable.
‘The speed to you 493km’ is scheduled to premiere on April 20 at 9:30 PM.
