ENA’s upcoming drama “Longing for You” has shared photos from its script reading!

“Longing for You” is a mystery crime series following the story of detective Oh Jin Sung, who is working to avenge his younger brother. Director Han Chul Soo and writer Kwon Min Soo of “Graceful Family” will be working together once again for this drama, which also marks director Han Chul Soo and actress Kim Ji Eun’s reunion after working together on “Again My Life.”

The actors present at the script reading included Na In Woo, Kim Ji Eun, Kwon Yool, Bae Jong Ok, Lee Kyu Han, Jung Sang Hoon, Jang Hye Jin, Kim Hee Jung, Choi Kwang Il, Kim Chul Ki, Kim Hyung Mook, Park Hyun Sook, former NU’EST member Ren, and Jung Ga Hee.

Na In Woo will play Oh Jin Sung, a detective at the Woojin Police Station who, in the wake of a murder case, encounters an unexpected secret that his family has hidden. Despite venturing into the mystery genre for the first time, the actor impressed with his portrayal of the hot-blooded and charismatic country detective Oh Jin Sung.

Kim Ji Eun was also fully immersed in her role as Oh Jin Sung’s best friend, prosecutor Ko Young Joo, a woman of principle who believes that injustice must be punished even if it takes more injustice.

Kwon Yool will be playing Cha Young Woon, the only son of the Jinjin Group family and an elite prosecutor who works together with Ko Young Joo at the Central District Prosecutor’s Office. The actor enhanced the prosecutor’s unique ferocity with the look in his eyes and the tone of his voice, capturing the cold and intelligent aura of the character.

Na In Woo, Kim Ji Eun, and Kwon Yool also perfectly portrayed the tense relationship between detective Oh Jin Sung and prosecutors Ko Young Joo and Cha Young Woon, as well as the subtle love triangle between them, as they worked together to investigate the murder case.

Meanwhile, veteran actress Bae Jong Ok delivered an impressive performance as Yoo Jung Sook, the director of Jinjin Medical Hospital.

Lee Kyu Han also made the drama even more fun with his masterful portrayal of Park Ki Young, a workaholic correspondent for the Prosecutor’s Office.

Playing Bae Min Kyu, an arrogant dentist, Jung Sang Hoon induced goosebumps with his crazy eyes and facial expressions.

The production team commented, “The four hours of the script reading flew by. The cast members’ acting was so passionate that we were holding our breath throughout the reading. All of the actors, including Na In Woo, Kim Ji Eun, and Kwon Yool, had such amazing chemistry that we couldn’t believe it was their first script reading.”

They added, “We will be bringing you a thrilling and immersive mystery drama this summer. Please look forward to it.”
