Ji Chang Wook Hits Rock Bottom After Losing His Successful Career In “Merry Berry Love”

The upcoming Korean-Japanese series “Merry Berry Love” has unveiled new stills featuring Ji Chang Wook in character!

“Merry Berry Love” is a romantic comedy about Lee Yu Bin (Ji Chang Wook), a Korean spatial designer who achieved great success in Korea but loses everything overnight and travels to a Japanese island in hopes of turning his life around. There, he meets Shirahama Karin (Imada Mio), a young Japanese strawberry farmer who has devoted her life to growing strawberries.

Ji Chang Wook plays Lee Yu Bin, a man whose successful career as a top-tier spatial designer comes crashing down overnight, leaving him unemployed. The newly released stills capture the stark contrast between his life before and after his fall from success, showing both the polished city man who exudes a professional aura and the unemployed man catching brief naps while looking disheveled.

Once accustomed to a relaxed atmosphere, perfect hairstyle and a desk surrounded by office tools and covered with blueprints, Lee Yu Bin eventually sheds his chic persona completely.

Watch: Kim Ji Seok And Lee Min Jung’s Marriage Hits A Breaking Point In “OK, Let’s Get Divorced” Highlight Teaser

Upcoming drama “OK, Let’s Get Divorced” has released a highlight video!

“OK, Let’s Get Divorced” follows the realistic divorce journey of a married couple who run a wedding dress shop as they decide to put an end to their exhausting marriage.

The highlight video opens with a powerful scene of Baek Mi Young (Lee Min Jung) throwing her wedding ring off a bridge after making a firm decision. The scene immediately raises curiosity about the hidden story behind the seemingly ordinary couple, who has been married for seven years.

Baek Mi Young is the CEO of a successful wedding dress shop and a workaholic who pours all her passion into the company. However, her unresolved conflicts with her husband, designer Ji Won Ho (Kim Ji Seok), who is also the company’s co-CEO, weigh heavily on her. When the couple receives an offer to appear together on a variety show, Baek Mi Young is reluctant to accept, but she ultimately decides to participate for the sake of the company, whose sales have been steadily declining.

However, Ji Won Ho has no intention of doing things Baek Mi Young’s way. In one scene, he is seen complaining, “There should at least be some respect between a married couple,” while in another, he snaps at her, saying, “Stop acting so high and mighty. Is this company yours?” Baek Mi Young refuses to back down and fires back with equally harsh remarks. Although they continue to pretend to be an affectionate couple in public for the sake of their business, their relationship has already reached a breaking point, raising anticipation for the repercussions that will follow.

Ji Won Ho, who dreams of divorcing Baek Mi Young, devises a “sleeping with the enemy” strategy, but the situation only becomes more complicated. The appearance of Baek Mi Young’s ex-boyfriend Calvin (Lee Hyun Jin), along with Ahn Hee Joo’s (Lee Jin Yi) bold advances toward Ji Won Ho, further heightens the intrigue.

Watch the teaser below!

“OK, Let’s Get Divorced” is set to premiere on August 19 at 11 p.m. KST.
