Yeo Jin Goo Confirmed to Star in Fantasy Romance "Orange Marmalade"

Yeo Jin Goo will be returning to the small screen through KBS2TV’s upcoming Friday drama “Orange Marmalade,” which is based on a webtoon of the same name.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the actor had received an offer to play the male lead, and his agency has now confirmed that they have accepted the role. Yeo Jin Goo will be taking on the role of Jung Jae Min, who is a diligent and popular student with a pure heart.

“Orange Marmalade” will be the young but incredibly talented actor’s first time to act in a fantasy romance drama. In the past, he has impressed viewers with his acting in “The Moon that Embraces the Sun,” “Shoot Me in the Heart,” and “Potato Star 2013QR3,” and more.

A representative of the drama says, “Female and male viewers alike will be unable to resist Yeo Jin Goo’s romantic charms and his ability to immerse himself in his character, which is exceptional for his age.”

Set in a school environment with the secret presence of vampires, “Orange Marmalade” will premiere in May. CNBLUE’s Jonghyun and AOA’s Seolhyun are also in talks to star in the drama.
