MBC melodrama Love in Sadness just released a new teaser, featuring Ji Hyun-woo (Thief-nom, Thief-nim) and Park Hana (Lingerie Girls’ Generation). And let me tell you, it’s super intense.

The teaser starts with Park Hana as she begins to take off her shirt and strip in front of Ji Hyun-woo. She begs for him to save her, because she will die tomorrow. We don’t hear Ji Hyun-woo’s answer, but he looks conflicted as she stands opposite him.

Park Hana plays a woman who had been a dirt poor but promising art student who becomes a chaebol housewife in Love in Sadness. She’s lived a real life Cinderella story, or so it seems to the people around her. But five years later, she’s deeply unhappy when she meets Ji Hyun-woo.

In an age where love is ubiquitous, but true love is difficult to find, two people who have failed at love before find a second chance at true love. However, others with secretive ambitions complicate their lives with their pursuit.

Go Joo-won (Madame Antoine) will make a special guest appearance in Love in Sadness as an old college classmate of Ji Hyun-woo’s. He secretly feels a hostility against Ji Hyun-woo that he hides everyday whilst working in Ji Hyun-woo’s clinic as a paid doctor. He’s also friends with Wang Bit-na’s (Mysterious Personal Shopper) character who loves Ji Hyun-woo unrequitedly.

Weekend drama Love in Sadness, written by Song Jung-lim and directed by Choi Yi-seob and Yoo Bum-sang, will begin on February 23 after the end of Pledge to God.
